Hey livejournal family!! So there's this really amazing band called Big Tree. They started as a Sarah Lawrence band, but they all graduated last year and now their about to tour the country in their van that runs on VEGETABLE OIL. Super awesome, right? So there up for NYC artist of the month on this music website, and they need all the votes they can get, sooo, it would be really cool if you guys could all take like 2 minutes and vote for them!! They're a really big deal on campus and have really helped shape my college experience music wise, and it would be great exposure for them if they won. That is all.

I saw A Little Night Music tonight. Orchestra Row G. For free. It was INCREDIBLE. Just truly wonderful. I was completely in love with the set design, I thought it was brilliant. Also, Catherine Zeta Jones was not in tonight and I'm SO GLAD because Jayne Paterson was PHENOMENAL. Really really lovely evening.

Day 07 -- A photo that makes you happy
This is Elmo. He is all sass.
Day 08 -- A photo that makes you angry/sad
The Tree of Ténéré was the world's most isolated tree, in the middle of the Sahara, it was the only tree within over 250 miles. Somehow, though it was the only tree amidst hundreds of miles of desert, it was still hit and knocked down by a drunk driver. |

Day 03 -- Your Favorite Television Program
Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Hands down.
Though there are many things that may and have tried to rival it, nothing could ever take BTVS's place in my heart.
I can't even watch this trailer without tearing up. It's kind of a problem.
Day 04 -- Your Favorite Book
Choosing a favorite book is pretty impossible for me, but if I had to pick, the one that's probably been the most influential was What Now? by Ann Patchett.
My dad gave it to me as a present when I got into Sarah Lawrence. Ann Patchett went to SLC and gave the commencement address at graduation in 2007. Her speech was so amazing, she was convinced to flesh it out and turn it into a book. Ever since I got it I've carried it around with me everywhere, and I've lost track of how many times I've read it. I would recommend it to anyone.
Day 05 -- Your Favorite Quote
Also EXTREMELY difficult for me, but right now I'd have to say pretty much the entirety of the Sullivan Ballou letter because of quotes like this:
But, O Sarah! If the dead can come back to this earth and flit unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you; in the gladdest days and in the darkest nights . . . always, always, and if there be a soft breeze upon your cheek, it shall be my breath, as the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by. Sarah do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for thee, for we shall meet again...
For those who don't know, I am a HUGE Civil War buff, and was raised on Ken Burns's documentary, The Civil War. At the end of the first installment, a letter is read that a soldier, Sullivan Ballou, wrote to his wife before his militia shipped out for battle in case he died before he got the chance to write her or see her again. He died a week later.
Day 06 -- Whatever Tickles Your Fancy
I could watch this video every day for the rest of my life and it still wouldn't get old.
In other news, I feel a bit like I've been hit by a truck. My whole body aches and I have a mild fever. This is no good. Also, I miss my boy. Lame.

Oh hey, LJ family. Long time, no see.
Actually, that's a lie. I'm really good about reading everyone else's entries, I'm just not good about writing my own. So, LIFE UPDATE BULLET POST!
- I'm still at Sarah Lawrence, still loving it. This is probably obvious, but I thought it worth saying.
- I have a BOYFRIEND. That's right, Emily Hicks is dating a boy. His name is Zach, he's a first year, and he's absolutely wonderful.
- I'm currently in rehearsal for a student written/directed show on campus in which I am playing THE LEAD. Crazy, yeah?
- I'm 20. That's weird.
- I work on the lighting crew on campus, and it's probably my favorite thing ever.
- I'm currently eating bagel bites.
- I'm doing conference work this semester on environmental education, and I'm completely falling in love with it.
- My voice teacher is Thomas Young, which is super awesome, and he's having a special vocal performance in April for me and two of his other voice students because he wants people to see us perform. Eeeee!!
- I've started seeing a psychiatrist on campus and she's super wonderful.
- I'm the happiest I've been in a long, long time.
Now, giving in: 30 day meme.
Day 01 -- Your Favorite Song
Maggie May by Rod Stewart
It's been my favorite song since I was 12, and it's actually the only Rod Stewart song that I like. Something about it reminds me of youth and summertime.
Wake up Maggie
I think I got something to say to you;
it's late September and I really should be back at school.
I know I keep you amused
but I feel I'm being used
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore.
You led me away from home
just to save you from being alone.
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts.
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
but that don't worry me none in my eyes you're ev'rything.
I laughed at all of your jokes
my love you didn't need to coax
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore.
You led me away from home
just to save you from being alone.
You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without.
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
but you turned into a lover and mother what a lover
You wore me out.
All you did was wreck my bed
and in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore.
You led me away from home
'cause you didn't want to be alone.
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried.
I suppose I could collect my books and get back to school.
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool.
Or find myselfe a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand.
Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face.
You made a first-class fool out of me
but I'm as blind as a fool can be
you stole my heart but I love you anyway.
Maggie
I wish I'd never seen your face.
I'll get on back home one of these days.

Monday
American Stages Lecture ~ 3:35-5:00
Tuesday
Tools of the Trade ~ 3:35-5:30
Wednesday
The American Revolution ~ 1:30-3:25
American Stages Lecture ~ 3:35-5:00
American Stages Group Conference (every other week) ~ 5:00-6:00
Thursday
Alexander Technique ~ 11:05-1:00
Singing Workshop ~ 1:30-3:25
Friday
Lighting Design I ~ 11:05-1:00
Amazing, yeah? I'm really excited about the classes themselves too.
American Stages is a lecture, American Stages: The Evolution of Theatre in the United States, where basically we read plays every week and talk about them and listen to theatre lectures. Awesome.
I'm a little terrified about my American Revolution class. It's a history class, in the American Revolution, obviously, and since it only meets once a week we have like a shit ton of reading. It's also insanely paper heavy, like, even for Sarah Lawrence, but I love American history, so I'm still really pumped.
Tools of the Trade is a tech class that's basically like the nuts and bolts aspect of technical theatre, and my interview for it was the chillest thing ever. I went in and they asked me who I was and what I did with my life and from that determined I was awesome, and said that because I'm awesome and they're awesome, I should take the class. SO excited.
Alexander Technique is required for Singing Workshop, though I'm still looking forward to it. Singing Workshop is actually one of my prouder accomplishments I've had in a while. I had to audition for it and I was really nervous because there were like 40 people at the audition and I'd heard in the past they'd only accepted seniors and such, but I fucking beasted the audition and I'm one of like 12 in the class. :) I have an audition for voice lesson placement tomorrow.
Lighting Design is obviously pretty self explanatory, I just thought I should note that there's only three of us in the whole class, and one of the two other people is my friend Alex, who also lives in my house this year, who's way cool and we're planning on hanging out all the time. He jokingly refers to me as his lesbian girlfriend. It's great.
So basically I'm super excited about this year. I have my worries, of course, but my schedule is awesome, I'm already bonding with new people, and I have faith that this year is going to be amazing.

I cannot keep being the bearer of bad news in my family. The bad news alone is bad enough, I can't keep feeling like I'm the one causing it.
