You can take the girl out of the theater but you cant take the theatre out of the girl

Sometimes you have to amuse yourself in this one horse town. I made $1.75 shoe shinning. I was also cockney and had a little song I sang.

spring br8k

it is my 5th day of spring break and oh what a fun one its been. so far i've been to St. Louis for a staged reading of "Candles To the Sun" where we entertained people who, i'm pretty sure, were the age Tennessee would be if he were still alive. We had a few delicious meals and stayed in a lovely hotel, all on the university's credit card!! although i guess they get THAT money from my tuition, so...I paid for it?

then i went to oak park and climbed in and out of the passengers window of the passat becasue mom got in a car accident and the door doesnt open. i watched jesus camp while at home. terrifying. what if one of those kids walks into any number of other camps (i.e. theater camp, jewish socialist camp, harry potter enthusiasts camp, etc)

the teacher of my english lit class right now is pretty funny. she really likes books and reading, especially harry potter. One time in class she paused to form a thought and her phone began to play the harry potter theme song. NEEDLESS to say that we are reading the first book as the last book in that class.

im back in urbana now and im dogsitting for a girl i work with. the dog is cute, AT FIRST. she is still technically a puppy i guess, so that counts for something. she is very demanding of my time. If I go into the bathroom she'll be at the door whimpering and clawing in a second. and she has to sleep in my bed. god. so spoiled. I mean i never got to sleep in my masters bed when i was that age. dogs just walk around these days thinking they can do whatevvaahhh they want. well no. not this time. NOT THIS TIME. NOT ON MY WATCH. i started to make up a poem/song about her on a walk today.
