Yikes guys we're on page 3!!! Bad!

I think that since newgirl will already be in NYC in June, maybe we should see if we can plan around that time.

SOOOO, my life lately...uh, just finishing up my senior year of high school, excited to start at American University, and I just took five AP tests and finished the wonderful musical "Fiddler on the Roof," the show that got me into theatre, playing the marvelous role of Fruma-Sarah, a part I've wanted for over ten years.

Two rather major things have happened lately, one fun, one scary, so I guess I'll tell them in a really long post.

This past fall, my best guy friend and I played two evil wolves in a stage play of the Chronicles of Narnia, I as Fenris Ulf, the Captain of the Secret Police and he as my lackey. We even won a Critic's Choice for Best Ensemble. So I decided to ask him to Prom dressed up as Fenris Ulf (he's a sophomore). I dressed up in full costume (furry trench coat, leggings, high boots, scary grey fright wig, gloves, full face makeup) and BURST into his chorus class unexpected, screaming "SILENCE!" The chorus teacher screamed and no one knew what was going on. I yelled at the teacher, making her turn off the backing track for the song, and then announced, "As many of you know, I am Fenris Ulf, Captain of the Narnia Secret Police, and I have received reports that there is a traitor in our midst!"

I went around the room sniffing creepily and doing my scary wolf walk, then stopped dead in front of my friend, pointed at him, and yelled, "You sir, here!" I forced the two guys next to him to restrain him. He was laughing nervously and VERY confused, having no idea what I was doing, and kept asking, "Why are you in your costume from Narnia?" I just stared at him and said, "Did you know that the White Witch has a warrant out for your arrest?"

I pulled a giant scroll out of my coat and read, "By the Order of the White Witch, Deputy [His Name] is hereby charged with high treason, insubordination, and willful disobedience of his superiors (aka, me). As punishment for his egregious crimes, the White Witch sentences Deputy [His Name] to escort one [My Name] to prom on the evening of June 11, 2010... under penalty of death if he fails to comply with the above demands." I shoved the scroll into his head, whispered, "You are now scarred for life," and stalked out. The class burst into cheers and applause, so I ran back and took a bow. He told me later it was the best thing ever and the greatest way to ask someone to prom... I'm excited. It's going to be the most fun dance ever.

*

On a less happy note... craziness went down at my school the other day. This girl in my chorus who is probably the most academically gifted girl in the school but prone to making dumb choices told people in my class about this drug called JWH awhile ago. It's a synthetic thing made FROM marijuana, but it doesn't show up on drug tests, and it gets you MUCH higher than pot... it's more like acid from what I hear. Anyway, all of these kids from my chorus REALLY got into JWH and have been doing it a lot. It's not technically 'illegal' because the US government doesn't really know about it, but it's still STUPID. They did it on chorus trip, between shows of the musical, before taking AP tests... this is the majority of the class. Even the nicest, smartest kids were doing it, everyone but me and four others.

Yesterday, I saw ambulances outside the chorus room. I thought it was because of my teacher, who is pregnant with twins, but then someone told me that a student in show choir had a massive seizure and passed out. I thought it might be this one girl who is epileptic and has had them before, but someone told me it was this guy I know, "Robbie" (not his real name). I heard he was flailing widly, dove into a table, screamed and twitched, bit off part of his tongue, blood going everywhere, banging his head... everyone said it was the worst grand mal seizure they'd seen, worse than anything on TV. I was terrified, having known this guy for years. I worried maybe he had a brain tumor or something.

THEN, I heard that three other kids in the room at the time, "Jake" "Dennis," and "David" also got taken to the hospital along with "Robbie." I thought there might've been a gas leak or something. But then I heard that the four of them had smoked JWH at school and apparently overdosed or took a bad batch... Robbie had the horrible seizure, Jake and Dennis were throwing up, and David, who actually brought the JWH to school and distributed it, was fine but went to the hospital as a precaution. Now they're in HUGE trouble. Jake and Dennis are underclassmen, but Robbie and David are seniors and probably won't graduate and all that... and even worse, both had huge scholarships to prestigious universities.

David's situation is the worst, because he is eighteen (Robbie's still seventeen), so he got ARRESTED and taken into a police car in handcuffs, and will be tried as an adult for distribution and possession. David is an incredibly brilliant guy, outrageously musically talented and a wonderfully smart person, and he's intended to become a music teacher for his entire life, like his dad. There is no way he'll be a teacher now. This is SO upsetting, that these guys would do something so stupid, but at least now no one else in my chorus is doing JWH.

Bahhhhh how I've missed you ladies!!

I'd love to see an NYC thing happen this summer as well!

Nothing much changed around here, just looking for a job and all.

[strummergirl]

Posted: 5/14/10 at 11:20pm

Wow Schmerg, that last part sounds nuts and scary.

Sooooooooooo my grandfather is in the hospital again due to swelling around his neck. I am sure this is temporary but still depressing, nonetheless.

I saw Iron Man 2 with my BFF and loved it. She found out yesterday her gf, an English international student, has officially transferred to our school. Happy for her and am stoked. Her gf is like my #2 BFF.

My school is on trimester and is still going on. Just finished a paper and my brain is fried. I got the internship at Albany for the summer (I am free on weekends so the NYC can work that way) but am planning on applying for a DC internship through my college next year. My prof says I have an excellent shot so fingers crossed, ladies (and honorary ladies).

So life has been hectic. I have a singing competition tomorrow and I'm not feeling that confident about it. :/

So I'm finally calling it off with this guy. He has a girlfriend and what I'm doing is totally unfair. And then there's all the nasty talk about her that my friends are starting about her. I've taken a step too far and I need to get back into place. I am concentrating on school, theatre, and getting a job. Not him. But I still kind of feel like I'm losing one of my best friends.

Ah well. This too shall pass.

Wow, we're really slipping. I guess it's not such a biggie anymore, as I know I'm stalking uh, following many of you in other places on the internet, but it's still sad to see this thread slipped so far down!

So BUMP.

First, good news for me! I am playing Camillo in The Winter's Tale this summer! I was expecting to get Mopsa or some waiting gentlewoman or other, so it was just a bit of a shock to get a part that is 1) pretty huge, 2) a man, and 3) actually my favourite character in the play. I am thrilled and terrified in equal measure. :3

And second, I am going away for a week to walk Hadrian's Wall with my dad. 84 miles across the norf of England! We'll be on the lookout for marauding Scots while we're there, but internet access will almost certainly not be happening, so should anyone wonder "where is Weez?", there is the answer.

A question that is not answered, however, is "where is Tofu?". Come back, girl! We love you and miss you and hope you are well!

[strummergirl]

Posted: 5/24/10 at 7:24pm

I do miss tofu. I could use her good-natured salty humor right now.

My grandfather was back in the hospital, I believe I mentioned this already. He was put into intensive care but was transferred. But now he has pneumonia and an infection. My dad took me out to dinner yesterday and he told me point-blank, when we were arguing about something superfluous, that he is dying. My dad is angry at me for having yet to see him (he was dropping me off at my dorm but kinda sorta offered me to go on a visit with him to the hospital which I declined). My dad's whole tone toward me was disappointing. I know he is losing his dad, but he is acting like I cannot relate whatsoever despite the fact he was at death's door years ago that was one of the mentally traumatizing moments of my life. My grandfather has become so inaudible and weak that makes it not surprising but still sad. I would love to visit him but when I last visited him when he was 'well', I never saw him so weak in my life. UGH!!!!! This is really the worst way to end my sophomore year.

My summer, I just want to get my driver's license finally, get back my job at the movie theater, and hold my own while interning at the Governors' Communication's Office.

I'm so sorry to hear that, strummer. It's a rough thing to get through for anyone and I wish you and your family the best. We're always here to vent to.

I really miss this thread, seriously. We have to step up our game (myself very much included). I've been busy with college graduation, having a grownup job and making some of the worst choices of my life so far, but I will find the time, dammit!

[StarStruckGB]

The start to this summer has been in need of this thread, and I'm glad we're making a comeback!

I'm sorry for all of the bad & busy everybodys' been going through but here's a great big cuddly hug from me to you!!

As for me, I have devolved into the laziest creature ever to grace New York. Home has been rough, and is all the worst because I am still without a job, hopefully something turns up soon. But, I have an audition tomorrow which should be a nice break in the boring.

Hello all!

I have simply been drinking and laying out too much, hence my absence in this thread. I never did get a job....however I am sure that is no great loss to the working community at large.

Hope all you girls (and boys) are doing well - miss you all!! xo

Hey ladies and gents

Just saying hi!! Any ideas about the get together in NYC?? :)

[StarStruckGB]

Posted: 5/30/10 at 6:07pm

How did it happen last time anyway?

And how is everybodys summer going?
I finally found a book to start, Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I'm almost done with it and it is Wonderful!
Good News: They are working on a movie about it.
Bad news: Robert Pattinson.

hey guys! I haven't been on line very much due to laying out by the pool, like danmag. I laid out from 10 am to 5 pm today. And now I have a nasty stomach bug. My stomach has been hurting all day, but now I've got the runs. Sorry if that's TMI. I feel like crap.

[StarStruckGB]

Posted: 5/30/10 at 7:29pm

Oh no Stock!
Your plans sounded so nice on facebook, haha.

[StockardFan]

Posted: 5/30/10 at 7:44pm

I know, right! I hope it goes away quickly!

[lusciouslace]

Posted: 6/23/10 at 5:38pm

Wow guys...this was on page 5 or something!!!

I just wanted to say hi and also that I heard from Tofu on email. She says she missed you guys and to say hello. :)

Now that we are all on facebook, we don't need the thread like we used to I guess.

[clever name]

Posted: 6/23/10 at 8:00pm

aww look whats back on page one where it belongs!!


I agree, Stock. We all kind of keep up on FB. Also, I think, at least for me..and I'm being totally honest...the thread got a little too Oprah for me. But I have to say I loved seeing this when I came on here!

Lucious, thanks for the tofu update. Tell her to get back on here. She is missed :)
