That's, right ladies and gents! Three shows and then we're done. Tonight, tomorrow afternoon, and next Friday are it. Here it comes, that wave of disappointment that it's almost over, but eagerness to move on to different things.
It's much different than what I anticipated, this experience. Not that different is a bad thing, it's not. I've loved every minute of it. Every last painstaking grueling minute of choreography and blocking, even changing the sets over from Chicago to the other show that we're doing. It's all been a great experience for me. But different, like I said.
I am... astounded that in only a month we took this show from bare bones nothing to amazing. I'm honored to be working with the people I am and I'm sad to see it go, but again, I'm also ready to move on. If this is what professional theatre is, I have no problem saying that I want to continue with it for as long as I can. It's so rewarding, and such a great experience. It's not for everyone, but it's definitely for me...
This probably seems like a lot of rambling, but by golly I don't care! Haha.
Until my next, don't forget to brush and floss!

"Hoaky Religions and Ancient Weapons"
Do you want to know the real trouble with roommates? You don't really know someone until you live with them, right? Try not knowing them at all until you live with them. That was the major problem I had. The only contact I'd had with my roommate of last year was a few messages on Facebook and text messages on the phone and that was all. The only question I had asked him about himself was "Do you like Star Wars?" Not exactly smart on my part.
On first impression, he was nice, he seemed cool, he was the only person I knew... So the first few weeks, couple months really, went rather smoothly. Then started the crap... He would stay up until all hours of the night, knowing I didn't sleep well anyway. He would come in at 2 or 3 AM, not from drinking or anything, he didn't drink, but just from the lounge on our floor or from someone else's dorm room. And then he got a "girlfriend." To make a longish story short, I got sexiled... Activate word dex (also known as dictionary)...
Sexile: To exile someone from their own room while you copulate; to ask someone to leave their room so you can have sex.
Yep, ladies and gents, I got sexiled... That didn't last too long, though. Their "relationship" was over in a couple of weeks.
After that, the crap ceased.... until I started skyping with one of my good friends on a regular basis. He would but into conversations and be a complete ass to my friend for no other reason except to prove that he "wasn't really an ass." He would insult her, and it upset me more than her, I think, because he lacked the respect and decorum to act maturely. I think the only thing that he proved was that he really is an immature ass.
There were several other... problems I had with him, but nothing worth going into detail about. Just know that if you are ever to choose a roommate, choose carefully, get to know them first, and if you don't, prepare yourself to deal with the consequences of not.
There was one good thing that came of having this jackass as a roommate, though. I met the guy I'm rooming with NEXT year through him. Good stuff, right? I dunno what I'll post about next, but it'll be something interesting I can assure you!
Until then, good night, don't let the bed bugs bite, drive safe, and remember to always lift with your legs.

Current
Man, I really need to start being more current! It's only been three months since my last post, but it feels like a lifetime. Sorry to those who read this, especially my... what, one follower at this point. (Thanks, Fenix). Anyway... let's see... Well, I suppose I should just update you on what's going on in my life, considering the recent name change of the blog and all.
Well, let's see... The school year ended on May 13th and so did my time in the dorm (that last couldn't have come any sooner... Look for future posts about roommate problems...) And while I was relieved that the schoolwork was over with for a couple of months, and that I no longer had to deal with dorm life (see previous parenthesis... >.> ) I was... hesitant to come back and live at home again. After having a year of freedom to do basically whatever I wanted (within reason, of course) I didn't want to come back to the restrictions of living at home. I felt that everything would go back to the way it was before school. And boy was I right. (Look for future posts about life with family.)
The only break in the madness is my time as an ensemble cast member of Chicago: The Musical. I can't really give too many details, but know that it's my first professional acting job, rather than one for school or what have you, and that it is going great. We close a week from Friday. Anyway, the point is that I've been stuck at home, in my room, avoiding my parents and the rest of my family because I don't want to deal with the stress and aggravation that they cause. My days are either whiled away online talking to people or playing numerous video games on my XBOX 360, especially now that rehearsals for the show are done and we're in the performance stage and have got basically a week in between performances.
I move out on the 13th of August (imagine that, back in and then back out on the 13ths of the respective months.) And hopefully apartment life will be much better than dorm life. I'll have my own room, a shared bathroom (with a close friend), and no family around to cause inner and outer turmoil.
Next post I'll probably talk about the problem of living in a dorm with a roommate. And if not that, it'll be something to do with the problem of living in a house with family.
Until then, good night, have a good day, don't let the bed bugs bite, watch for potholes, drive safely, and remember to tie your shoes. ;)
P.S. At the bottom of the blog is my new official Halloween Countdown Timer. That's right folks, it's coming up quick!!!
