The way my posting habit is going I won't post again until after I graduate from this freezing, Northern institution, so I may as well post something now.
So, Senior year. That's pretty fuckin crazy. I'm off campus living with the Caitlin and Amanda. This is quite awesome, I must say. We have a sweet apartment, well equipped living room, bath tub with feet (YES!). Then there are the classes, which have turned out to be more exciting than expected. Two Art History classes (to finish one of my Minors): Methods in Art Hist, and The Hindu Temple, with the most flaming straight married man I've ever met. I heart him a whole bunch. Then my two theatre classes: Directing (ie, my thesis) and Fundis of Lighting, which is turning out to be quite the fun class, I must say. Hey, what's better than hanging 5 pound lights on a metal pole 18 feet above the stage? Exactly, not too much. In between all of this other stuff is my Marketing class, which I am TAing for, and miraculously getting 3 credits to do so... That takes care of Minor #2. So, if that didn't pack the schedule quite enough... guess what?
I got cast in Hair :-)
If you would like to come see me sing about being stoned (which is Ironic, since that's never happened before), drop me a line and I will give you the details. I may write again sooner than you think, but don't hold your breath... it's terribly awful for your body! |

| Christmas 2004 |
[Dec. 27th, 2004|05:04 pm] |
Well, this is the year in closing, so all of the stock brokers out there are busy buying an selling, accountants are marking up how much money people gained and lost, and I am trying to recap on what has happened over this year. It's been quite a bit, if I think back on it correctly.
Each passing year seems to hold more and more things that slip away like snow on the winter wind. It is important not to let yourself get swept away too, to be the ice on the pond versus the drifts across it.
Christmas this year was good, but much less eventful than usual. We lazily awoke at about 9 AM to open gifts, much later than our usual 5 AM spree, but that was a few years ago now that I think about it. Eyes still crusty, we walked downstairs to the transformed library. In the corner near the window facing the porch was our small, faux Christmas tree that mom had purchased last year after she realized that it was really hard to put a live tree up by yourself, and was not much easier, even with the assistance of her petite college daughter. We have since traded the real thing for a smaller, managable faux tree, with lights built into it and a bottle of room freshener called "winter forest."
Below said faux tree resided a small pile of gifts for each of us. These were nicely wrapped gifts, but before we could attacked those, we opened the contense of our stockings. This is my favorite part of opening gifts, since I think the stockings contain the coolest presents. When we were younger, and up very early, my mother wisely put the stockings upstairs so that we could open them while we waited impatiently for her to get up. We were not allowed to go to the tree room by ourselves, and she had to be the first one down. Then she generally exlamed something along the lines of, "ohhhhh, Santa did come!"
There was no need for that this year, since we have become disillusioned teenagers (excluding myself, who has crossed the line into the twenties). None the less, we managed a nice Christmas, and the feeling of love was still thick in the room, and thankfully the presents of Jesus was not. Although, the Christmas miracle this year was that my father actually got my mother a presents, and, get this... WRAPPED IT! No one could believe it!
I think the best thing that happened on Christmas though was our Christmas Buggy Ride. Buggy can be interchanged with sleigh, depending on the year, but since there was not a flake of snow in sight, the sleigh stayed tucked away in the barn. We hitched our horse Zip up to the buggy and drove down to the beach, picking our neighbors up on the way. It made their day, and in turn, made ours :-) YAY Christmas! |

| It's been awhile |
[Oct. 7th, 2004|09:22 am] |
Ok, time to write something here... it's been a few months.
Recap: Summer was awesome, yay CCSC year number 9. I miss all of my girls, so if you see this please write! I met Alex and that is still going strong, and then I moved up to VT to start school at the end of August.
School is going really well. I really like my classes, which are business classes for the most part. Then I am also taking French, Theatre History and Ballet, so I'm getting a very classical education this year...
My apartment is awesome! I'm living with Kat, Joe and Jen and we have a nice set up on College Street. Nice walk to classes, not too strenuous, except walking to French, but that's ok! I love my room, and if you can ever not find me, I'm probably there, in my super cumfy futon bed, called the cloud (no lie, that's actually what the company calls it).
I got a job! I'm designing thongs for this company called Her Looks Enterprises. This is the same company who makes Take outs, go to www.thebetterboobjob.com I'm a consultant for them, working on a freelance basis to design, source and manufacture these thongs. It does take some work, but it's really fun.
As far as the knitting goes, I'm doing as much as ever... I just finished a sweater I was making for myself, and I sewed on the first sleeve last night. Now it's onto Sleeve #2, so that should be good. Ask me and I'll send pictures when it's done.
Ok, time for Entreprenuership! |

[Jun. 16th, 2004|01:24 pm] |
I'm back on American Soil! But I miss Stratford and Paris.... I had such a fantastic time. Learned about Shakespeare and Stilts and Mixed Beer drinks! Overall, a wonderful experiance. Ask me about it if you wish, I could go on and on, and might, except that I want to put this Quizzy thing up:
You are glucose. People feed off of you. You are
sweet, caring, and a source of energy for
everyone around you. You can inspire others
with your creativity and depth, and you can
keep people alive when in times of famine.
People love you...or at least the way you
taste.

From Go-Quiz.com
So I'm going to Europe tomorrow via Montreal, via Burlington. I'm really excited, although I hope the plane ride is good, I get a little nervous about that. But I'm trying to think about what I'm going to do over there, which is a whole lot more then what I'm doing here, which is nothing. Although I'm supposed to be packing, apparently :-), since I do leave TOMORROW!
For those of you who don't know, I will be in Startford-Upon-Avon for the first week, staying at Bradbourne House, [ Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<www.bradbourne-house.co.uk>') in entry.

For those of you who don't know, I will be in Startford-Upon-Avon for the first week, staying at Bradbourne House, <www.bradbourne-house.co.uk> , which will be quite nice. We're studying with the Royal Shakespeare Company, seeing a performance nearly every night we're there: The Dog in the Manger, Romeo and Juliet, Tamar's Revenge, The Scottish play, and Much Ado about Nothing. I'll be there from the 30th to June 5th, then on the 6th we travel to Paris.... I keep alluding to this "we". Some believe that I use the royal we a lot, but I am actually referring to the group I am with. There are 27 Students and Professors traveling together on this trip, making a MASSIVE theatre extravaganza. So, WE shall be in Paris from the 6th of June, until the 13th. There, we will be staying at Hotel Marignan, <http://www.hotel-marignan.com> , a short walk from all things Parisian, including some yarn shops and lingerie stores I have looked up :-). There, we will be studying with the Friches school of movement, who are the people who influenced the creators of Cirque du Soile. There I will be working on stilts, doing pupetry stuff, acrobatics, such as tight rope and trapeze!!! I can't wait... Then it's back to Burlington on June 13th... I should return around 5 pm, so that will be joyous. I'm tempted to stay longer in Europe, maybe hit Ireland, but I'm not sure :-) Any suggestions. Also, if anyone would like postcards, give me your address, and I will do my best. Please let me know if you would like one from France or England. |

| Spring Semester |
[Feb. 2nd, 2004|11:46 am] |
This semester looks pretty promising.... Skipped my first class today, which was photography. I love that class, but I didn't have any film ready, so I didn't really see the point of going yet... so that's on the to do list today, as well as going to the gym with Mike and figuring out what the hell I have to do for my Theatre History class? WTF? What's with this research purposal?
Yay to the Pats winning the Superbowl! We all knew they were going to win anyway, but now it's official, so yay. And I made chili, and everyone liked it, which was cool. I think I'm going to start cooking more often... it's a pretty successful process.
Knitting Progress: Pink cabled brim hat-almost done
Red Halter-Back complete, ready to start front
Cashmere mittens-not yet
Pink Big Wool mini dress- back complete, Front near completion
I think that's about it as far as projects on deck, the others are on hold for the moment... any orders for anyone? |

So I've been trying to write these papers forever and ever, and I just can't write them. Both are for my African American Art History class, which I find really interesting and like a lot, but I just really don't want to write about it. I especially don't want to write about it when I could be sleeping in my nice, warm bed, or knitting my Pink dress... or talking to Brandon...
Let me tell you what I'm writting about: Dondi and Fab 5 Fred, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Raymound Saunders and how they are all lumped together in Modern African American Art, and they are kind of considered Graffiti art, even though Dondi and Fab 5 Fred did graffiti on trains, and Basquiat was an abstract expressionist who was largely self taught... and Raymound Saunders was a classically taught artist who does beautiful Museum quality oil paintings. I don't get it. People need to stop catagorizing everything for the sake of Organization. silliness... |
