WTF?
Did they or did they not know you were a stay at home mom for 13 years?
KFTC!!!!!

LOL - he totally knew! I don't think he was used to interviewing stay at home moms! Good thing I wore those stockings, Stock! Sadly, I had my hair back in a braid that I'm pretty sure was unravelling throughout the interview....sigh.
Oh yeah...also at one point in the middle of talking I COMPLETELY forgot what he asked me and what I was even talking about...I think I bull****ted my way through it ok. I think I might be getting senile.

"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

danmag, as somebody who had a seasonal job in retail- and kind of still technically sort of does- I will say, no, just no. Don't do it.
Gaw, I have so much work. I need to study for a Spanish exam that I haven't bothered to do yet. I am so drowsy and tired due to my sleeping habits catching up on me. I want to fall asleep but I can't and I have class at 9:15. I fear I will oversleep and miss my exam. Why can't I just develop my own personal Tyler Durden to do my hard work?
Also thanks to me lack of sleep I get more irritated than before. There's this guy in my film class that acts like such a know it all in film but when he talks he only talks about how some random scene reminds him of another incredibly mainstream film. Plus he likes to think his fellow classmates appreciate him doing film commentary aloud during class. He can get so snarky. I've seen kids who behaved better at movie theaters. Just today when we watched Europa, Europa when we are introduced to a closeted gay German soldier who has unrequited love for the protagonist he scoffs saying 'Brokeback Poland' or whatever. How original. My professor was none too pleased but the class was close to over. Seriously he caused me to move from my seat just so I didn't have to hear his limited film geekdom or his stupid comments. I sit on the other side of the room and I still hear him talk.
Anybody know what I should do with him? Should I tell him that he is not the only person watching the movie or should I tell the professor to tell him? Or should I just not be this bitchy about it? Given nearly all the films we have seen are foreign language films in English subtitles, this ain't your regular movie screening.

"Thankfully there is a lovely establishment nearby called the 19th Hole that I am sure hires strippers that are approaching Social Security eligibility."
Ok...so considering that's a strip club...I just gotta ask...or maybe I don't want to. Where is exactly is the 19th Hole? I can think of the basic holes, but after that...I don't think I want to see a stripper's 19th hole. Just sayin.
#4507happiness :D
Posted: 1/20/10 at 7:02amLOL Luscious! It's called that because it's across the street from a golf course, but I would not be surprised if the strippers there have 19 holes...It's a really wretched place.

Hello Ladies!
I've been caught up in the educational system but I see we're all pretty busy.
One of my suitemates as already returned to her ways of making me feel as unwelcome in my own room as possible, so, yay. I just want to drop out and run off to Europe. Anyone can join.
Goshen doesn't do High-School-shows.

Posted: 1/21/10 at 12:58amstarstruck, I would love to join you in that. We should just run off together and live as starving artists in Bohemia or Florence.

I started school again today! I had my first class this morning and it was awesome. Tomorrow I have class with that guy... oh yeah, bring on the awkward "I'm going to act like I haven't seen you naked" phase... I am planning on looking damn good tomorrow, just to mess with him! Dude hasn't said one word to since the email!
Oh, and I saw a guy on Campus yesterday that looked a lot like Mitch Jarvis... I openly stared and had to resist the urge to jump him 
"If we don't live happily ever after at least we survive until the end of the week!" -Kermit the frog "I need the money... it costs a lot to look this cheap!" -Dolly P. "Oh please, Over at 'Gypsy' Patti LuPone hasn't even alienated her first daughter yet!" Mary Testa in "Xanadu" "...Like a drunk Chita Rivera!" Robin de Jesus in "In the Heights"
"B*tch, I don't know your life." -Xanadu After that if he still doesn't understand why you were uncomfortable and are now infuriated, kick him again but this time with Jazz Hands!!! -KillerTofu

Kels...get it, girl.
I'm coming to Europe too, by the way. SO MUCH BOREDOM.

Kels do the boy bad twice by looking all hot while you purse the Mitch Jarvis look-a-like and make the boy feel all guilty that he let you slip through his fingers.
Oh did I mention in stressing for my Spanish exam, sleeping late, skipping breakfast, and going to the other side I campus I slipped on ice. My elbow has been feeling funny for the last 24 hours. Could have been worse cuz if not for my backpack I probably would have bumped my head.
Just to add to my luck I feel like I effed up that Spanish exam and found out that roommate #2 is moving up 3 floors in my building to a single room. I found out through an email- not even sent by her. I want to feel angry but she is incredibly nice and really sorry we did not really talk about it but now I feel this sense of guilt. Why is my college sticking me with people who clearly do not want a roommate?
This and no more Conan is making me depressed. I know, I am very weird.

Of course you can come danmag, jag2, & clever!
Kels - apparently I have to come to your campus! Haha.
That situation hasn't changed, still nobody around here. But I am a little bothered that that guy back home was too quiet to really talk with me before I left :0/

I'm coming too. I can be the chaperone.
You would be the best chaperone ever.

Europe trip? Awesome! See y'all in London! 
Just went to see the original 1978 film La Cage aux Folles. I laughed my ASS off! It was really very funny, and helped fill in some of the gaps around the musical. :)
My bus has been absolutely failing at coming this week. Twice now I've had to phone home for a lift because the bus driver just can't be bothered turning up. And both times on evenings when I've been pushed for time. HMMM. Mum's going to do an angry phone call on my behalf tomorrow. (She gets angry easily, so I don't like to unleash her on customer service people, but I really rely on public transport, so in this case, I suppose her wrath could be useful. Oh poor bus company. ;_; )
We've nearly finished the pantomime! Just two more days/three more performances left! I can't wait, y'all. CANNOT. WAIT. Then there's My Fair Lady, which is amusing. I'm only chorus, so it's not sapping too much of my life, and I have a fantastic skirt for the Ascot scene, and I get the rare privilege of dancing with a real man during the Embassy Waltz! There are VERY FEW men in our group, so this is genuinely shocking. I'm also not a dancer in the slightest; I guess the choreographer has never really seen me move so is working on faith. Here's hoping I don't let her down! XD And there's Twelfth Night auditions on Wednesday next week; I'm going for all the female parts, and thinking about badgering the director to let me try out for Feste too. I can only ask, right?! XD No idea how that's likely to go, but I'll do my best and see what happens. :)
My ukulele and I are also almost competely joined at the hip. If I seem a little invisible at times, it's because talking on the internet takes away from ukulele practice time. O_O I have this INCREDIBLE callus on my left index finger, and I'm developing them on other fingers too. The veins on my knuckles are becoming extra-visible from all the string work, and I'm sure these mysterious lines on the side of my index finger are from bar chords. XD But the more malformed my hands get, the better the sound is, so I'm happy to have mutated hands. :) I'm now at a stage where I can jam along fairly successfully with the Imagination Movers, so that's made me significantly happier than it should have. XD
And now I should really send an email and get some sleep. Ukulele keeps me up at night, which is NOT good for my mental well-being. O_O

Well, whadda you know! They offered me the job! I decided not to take it though - I just got the feeling that it was WAAAAAY to corporate and conservative over there. I can't bear the thought of wearing stockings to work every day...
Back to Craigslist....
