2:35 am	VAGINAVAGINAVAGINA! Well I feel compelled to bookend this momentous occasion in my life. The first show that I've produced is going up in fourty eight hours. Nine months of planning are finally culminating. i feel like a chapter in my life is coming to an end...something that culminates nicely with it is the ending of Willard Exec. It's been a great experience, I just dont' think that i invested as much as i wanted to in the beginning. I feel really comfortable with perf studies now though i'm really connecting with people in the community and we all have really awesome style. so yeah i'mr eally happy with alot of things in my life right now. go me. :) Current Mood: content Current Music: Jesus Christ Superstar (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:50 am	okay i'm really really annoyed with the daily. not necessarily generalizing to its constituents many of whom are my friends..but really not doing a write up on the vagina monologues because it happens every year and other shows need coverage? okay yeah i know that the daily isn't PR but the way stories are framed for shows makes good publicity. they report on the show the week that it is happening, and list the dates and ticket prices. and i'm sorry but that's that. the show changes every year, this year we are dealing with issues of gender and sexuality in addition to female gender identity we have an amazing charity and people need to know about it. i mean can't we even get an article the week after? i'm just so excxited for thsi show and i want everyone to be too..its going to be beautiful...ten months ago i was just starting to work on it..its insane....

All this STUFF that's going on..sometiems i forget that there are other aspects of my life that need developing, namely academics, friends, but all those are going along erally well. no reason for me to be up so late, for some reason kept putting off doing assingment for political thought..sigh...just laziness need to rectify that..need to do more random hanging out..hmm lala..so excited about apartment..probably unhealthily..but the people i'm living with are wonderful and the place is wonderful ilhamdillah bahh okie needa sleep (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:03 am	home sweet home? So I've been home for eight or nine days now, and my body still hasn't adjusted to the time difference. I think it's a problem when I'm used to sleeping five or six hours a night, that my body doesn't care what time it is, it'll just conk out when it feels like it. Dammit. But yeah being home has been tres interesting in the "I've changed a whole lot but nothing around me has" kind of feeling, can't wait for my friends to get home. But by far one of the strangest things that have actually changed here is the new sponsorship my highschool has accepted from BAE. British Aeronautical Engineering. A company that makes bombs. yes..its like some kind of weird omen of doom, of the end. Or maybe i'm just fatalistic like that. Meh..grades came in and I was not so much surprised as disappointed in myself but that's what i get for being what I was last quarter. Well I'm over it dammit I'm moving on and going to rock next quarter. Booyah.. Oh and I've got that little project to look forward to> Hello pussy Vagina Monologues comin' atcha oh and i got my wisdom teeth out, but only the ones on the left side so i look like half of a deranged chipmunk..and the stingy bastard of a dentist gave me doped up panadol, no codine. Sigh. its all good though. the only aggravating thing about this is that its put a damper on my eating , so now all ican do is sip, because my jaw won't open that far....i'm not sure if that's a thing that comes with getting ones teeth out hmm hmm lala...I also have been reading which has been tres fulfilling..le sigh Current Mood: content Current Music: The Sims 2 (6 Comments |Comment on this)

11:24 am	Thanksgiving Travails It's punny right? okay whatever forget it....hehe uhmm so yeah I definitley did not have any hassle while travelling. Oh wait there was one minor thing, I had started out on the el, a few hours early to get to o'hare so that I wouldn't have to spend money on cab ride. But to my great annoyance I realized that I had left my aunt's bday gift back in the dorm. So I switched at the Belmont stop and came back to E-Town and ended up taking a cab anyway, cuz I was afraid of being late. ONce at the airport I didn't have long to wait to board my flight, and the snow actually started just a few minutes after we started boarding. In fact my plane was about ten minutes early flying into Buffalo. other than that pretty standard fare/company, ended up watching spongebob square pants movie with my aunt and cousin nadia, and that' was pretty faboo ..yay more food eeeeee!

11:40 pm	I'd like to dedicate this entry to the latest addition to my body AKA my nose piercing. It's really hot. At least I think so. Except at the moment its a little bloody, and the stud doesn't look quite the way i wanted ( i wanted a stone stud, with no inset, I now realize) but I still heart it heheehehe. But yeah its kinda been in the process for a really long time. I've wanted a piercing for about two years, at first i was debating between cartilage and eye brow, but cartilage (on the ear) is a bit done, and i wouldn't be able to decide where to place it on the ear (way too many places to choose for someone ocd like me) and eyebrow can scar and the scar tissue is heavy and weighs it down even after taking it out... but yeah it was quite uneventful, and the only point at which i got nervous was when a man came in wanting to get his penis pierced, and anything down there makes me EXTREMELY nervous, and as i walked in to the room where wade (my piercer) was going to do the deed, there was a whole wall of male and female geniatlia with varoius piercings, so that freaked the heck out of me Wade was very reassuring and and the procedure was really quick and relatively painless, had my eyes squeezed shut the whole time and then it was done! Now it just feel really natural, like i don't really feel it unless i twitch my nose or something, so that's definitley a good thing. At first i was like..hmm i don't know if i wanted it in that place (he marked my nose in like, a dozen places before i picked a space in the center of three of the dots, which just shows how ocd i am lol) but then i realized that i 'm just nuts and would find fault with any place that it got put so that's that about the piercing..I'm in San Fran right now,,and was planning on going to the NU meet and greet for the new freshies but unfortunately I am a crack whore and inquired about it right when it was ending....fup is so freakishly close it gives me chills..i'm sooooo....excited..i still have one more small grouper to call (sounds like the fish lol) long beach was hella fun (yeah that's right i say hella dammit) uhmm yeah that's pretty much it Current Mood: excitement Current Music: All My Life- The Beatles (4 Comments |Comment on this)

IO'm staying at this hostel called C&N Hostel (stil don't know what it stands for) in a private room for two nights. The reason ?I'm here is that a friend from h ome, Melina, is getting married tomorrow (yayness) But yeah...the hostel is socrazyassamazing. It's like somsething out of l'auberge espanol or something..all these crazy college aged kids just hanging out...its two floors and the outside of it is like a antique shop, its painted this peach color on the inside and there are tons of picstures of people who i guess have stayed here in the past ..and yeah... methinks i'll go grab lunchies now...

6:32 pm	i have this really bad habit of making more food than i can eat in one sitting, but not enough that it makes respectable left overs or seconds...sigh the joys of cooking independently (4 Comments |Comment on this)
6:00 pm	So I feel really good about myself. Physically I actually feel reall sick, but emotionally good. The Moroccan woman who works at panera was in citibank in the line in front of me and she said hi ( we had spoken briefly in december or something and haven't actually spoken to her since)and we spoke a little bit. She just seemed really sad and lonely, so on a whim on my way walking to the library, i ducked into panera and left a note for her with my phone number, in case she ever wanted to grab coffee. I mean..in the span of our five minute conversation in citibank i found out that she was here alone, lived in harlem had not travelled back home in five years, and she actually said that she tried to spend as much time at work. So I got a call from her when i was at the front of the library and she thanked me and let me know that we would defintley get together sometime. It was sweet, I mean sometimes its nice just to reach out to people randomly I guess... It also reaffirmed for me the power of friendship, and how lucky I am to be surrounded by such wonderful encouraging people (all right i'm getting into sappy mode sue me...) so yeah thanks!

7:34 pm	SOME INTELLECTUAL FUN Subject: Do you have two cows? FEUDALISM: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk. PURE SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else's cows. You have to take care of all the cows. The government gives you as much milk as you need. BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else's cows. They are cared for by ex-chicken farmers. You have to take care of the chickens the government took from the chicken farmers. The government gives you as much milk and as many eggs as the regulations say you should need. FASCISM: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them, and sells you the milk. PURE COMMUNISM: You have two cows. Your neighbors help you take care of them, and you all share the milk. RUSSIAN COMMUNISM: You have two cows. You have to take care of them, but the government takes all the milk. DICTATORSHIP: You have two cows. The government takes both and shoots you. SINGAPOREAN DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. The government fines you for keeping two unlicensed farm animals in an apartment. MILITARIANISM: You have two cows. The government takes both and drafts you. PURE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk. REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors pick someone to tell you who gets the milk. AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: The government promises to give you two cows if you vote for it. After the election, the president is impeached for speculating in cow futures. The press dubs the affair "Cowgate". BRITISH DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. You feed them sheep's' brains and they go mad. The government doesn't do anything. BUREAUCRACY: You have two cows. At first the government regulates what you can feed them and when you can milk them. Then it pays you not to milk them. After that it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the missing cows. ANARCHY: You have two cows. Either you sell the milk at a fair price or your neighbors try to kill you and take the cows. CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. HONG KONG CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly - listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax deduction for keeping five cows. The milk rights of six cows are transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a Cayman Islands company secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the rights to all seven cows' milk back to the listed company. The annual report says that the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Meanwhile, you kill the two cows because the fung shui is bad. ENVIRONMENTALISM: You have two cows. The government bans you from milking or killing them. FEMINISM: You have two cows. They get married and adopt a veal calf. TOTALITARIANISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and denies they ever existed. Milk is banned. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: You are associated with (the concept of "ownership" is a symbol of the phallo-centric, war-mongering, intolerant past) two differently aged (but no less valuable to society) bovines of non-specified gender. COUNTER CULTURE: Wow, dude, there's like...these two cows, man. You got to have some of this milk. SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

12:13 am	I just need to say that I'm so appreciative of the friends I have. The friendships I've developed over the course of the year that have mattered have only gotten stronger over the summer, and I don't feel like i've lost anything from my friends back home. I'm just really thank ful right now...for good old friends and good new ones going to bed now, completely exhausted, but relieved, knowing i can take on the next two weeks, and after that I'll get to see Jen and Lindsey and hopefully tabby and definitley jessie a little bit intimidated that i'm the only one of mel's friends not from vancouver to be at her wedding...
