Dana - I got injured head-banging in the bathtup.

Thank you, Dana.

[d1jay] I gotta go in 2 minutes. sorry to cut it short tonight. life's a bitch and so is my x.

Thank you, Jay Gordon.

So - surprise - RTF finally got back to me..lol, who am I to admonish laziness? Anyways, I'm the lighting ??? I'm not sure if I'm master electrician or board op or heck, I could be designer...people keep telling different things...I'm getting the feeling it's a conglomerate of the three of us.

I also got a chance to paint Randy's house the other day...I did the space underneath the chair rail in the foyar. It was fun. They have a cute little hotdog dog named Fritz that kept me company the whole time. Hehe, I wanna puppy!

Hmn, my foot is doing better...still hurts a little, but whatever.

Other than that, nothing much new. Hehe, nice to be back in a theatre where I belong. The director seems really nice, and one of the actors is going to be directing a show at Tech this year and wants me to help out. We'll see where that goes.

My Mom: So what happens if the lighting designer does something unsafe?
Me: The technical director beats you with a stick.

LazEBoy725: and of course, you and laura want to have an orgy at my house
LazEBoy725: orgy party
LazEBoy725: sorry
LazEBoy725: that little word is important isn't it

So many 'no shit' conversations, and so...little...room?

--~~***\/***~~--

LazEBoy725: well, me n joe decided to take a few bottlerockets to blow something up, then we came up with a great party "toy"
Zeta Vande: lol...
LazEBoy725: we took four rockets and taped them to a cd, pointing 4 different ways, so it would spin

LazEBoy725: no seriously, if you put on a lot of distortion and put the plug up to your body, it picks up a radio station on the amp
Zeta Vande: wow
LazEBoy725: i was at drew's house, and he put his plug in his mouth and got some weird station, and then i put it up to my butt joking, and it said "Welcome back to christian radio"

URDusty82: my fish had babies
Zeta Vande: haha, that is so...um...cute?

I'll promise, there will be more...

So yeah, the chat Friday night with Amir was pretty good. It's neat being able to talk to the guys from the band...they're really nice.

Anyways, this coming Friday the special guest will be Jay Baumgardner...he's their producer and producer for several other artists. It should be exciting, and Jay Gordon will be back again that evening.

I think it's pretty cool that Jay's dad, Lou, comes to these things, too. I mean, what's the likelyhood of any parents caring about something like that?

Anyways, I had a chance to talk to Dusty, David, and Laura in the past few days...it's nice to catch up with people...oh, and Dana, me and Laura wanna throw an Orgy Chat party at your house or maybe mine this Friday. Just so you know.

Off to watch some good ole TV...

Wow...I talked to Jay Gordon...wow...

So yeah, for all of you Orgy fans out there...Amir Derakh will be chatting live this Friday night on IRC. Let me know if you're interested and I'll get you the information. I wish I hadn't missed the chat with Jay...however, they did say that with Bobby's chat, Jay showed up towards the end for a surprise visit, so hopefully he'll come by again. Ah!!!! That would be so cool!

Other than that, nm else going on. I'm going to lunch with my grandparents tomorrow. Not that I mind, I just don't want to wake up that early. :-)

Eh, ok, so is this thing working again? Please? I guess if you see this, it is.

Anyways, not much new here...just enjoying a break, finally...

Ok, as for Friday night, hehe...

So after the show, Gillian, Mark, Emily, Dana, Joe, Mark's friend, and some of Gillian's friends went to Floyd to go to the weekly hoedown. All, I have to say is "Hey, baby, I don't have any teeth...wanna get busy?"
Hehe, after that we headed over to Mark's new apartment, then over to Hokie House and chilled with Charles and some other people until it closed. And then we went to Gillian's and stayed till around 4. What an enjoyable evening - watching Mark failing to entice Charles, lol. :-)

And last night we went to PK's after strike for the cast party. Lot's of fun. Then we headed over to Barb's for a party, and *finally* got to see Travis for once this summer. Got to see Bucky again, too...yeah, I love my friends...

So it was a good final weekend in Blacksburg. But it's nice to be home, too. David let me have the benches we made for Fuddy Meers on 'extended loan', so I've rearranged my room a little bit with them and with the new speakers I got for my sound system. It's starting to look really cool, finally. It'll be nice to finally get stuff done now that I have time. I wish summer was longer...

Yay, For the Floyd hoedown! More about that later....

So me, Gillian, Jack, Charles, Emily and I went out last nigth after the show. We headed over to PK's since Gillian's friend works there...she's really nice. It's so nice to meet new, fun people. Anyways, after that we headed over to the Cellar for a few hours. I love that place...it's so comfortable and laid back. I got a chance to talk to Charles for awhile...it's always fun to get to know someone better. He told me last night that he's going to propose a Samual Beckett workshop, and that he'd like me to do the lighting. I think it'd be a lot of fun, and he's really easy to work with. I mentioned the intelligent lighting production studio I'm doing (which we may be able to incorporate into his workshop), and then I talked about the two plays I'm writing. I'm getting more and more excited to be taking Ed Falco's playwriting lab this year. After we left the Cellar, we went over to Charles' house for awhile. We sat outside, and it was just a lot of fun. I like people like that...
Anyways, I'm also going to be helping out with the redesign of the departments website. It should be fun, but not too much work since I'm not completely responsible for it. I'm pretty much doing the research and paperwork I guess, but I'm not complaining, cuz I'm getting 6 hours of production studio credit out of it.
I've resigned myself to not hearing back from RTF. Eh, whatever.
Ed called me yesterday, too...he's shipping out for three weeks today. I hope he does ok.

Anyways, I'm off to dinner and another run of The Bald Soprano...

"I bought me a new chamber pot!" - Mary, 'The Bald Soprano'

I like having a big brother! :-)

Nothing much new...5 days until I come home.

The more I look at it, the more I wanna go to grad school at Yale. Hmn...

So yeah, this UUSA guy walks into the scene shop and yells at everyone who is smoking, saying that David didn't like having people smoking in there.

(For those of you non-VT theatre majors, David is the technical director who you will never see without a cigarette. I mean, I think everyone should be able to laugh...)

Fluffy came to see me yesterday, and it was nice spending time with him. I like having a big brother!

"Don't try anything, because I have a really sharp pencil!" - Millet, ad lib when the knife was lost, "Fuddy Meers"

Wow, I'm bored. And I'm really getting sick again. I slept so much last night, but I'm still so tired. My legs feel like they're on fire.

The show last night went well, surprising. I'm hoping tonight will be fine, too. Fluffy's coming to visit tomorrow, since we both have the day off. I plan on laying out in the sun for as long as possible, lol. *sigh* I really am tired.

I better head over to Souvlaki and get some food before I have to go in.

Argh...why do I have to be the one with the weird diseases...freakin' metal...

Anyways, I got an email from a former 'boss' today...it was cool to hear from him. It's funny what you can find online...

And love, seriously, the more I think about it, the more I hope you aren't mad at me, or think that I think you don't do enough for me...because your friendship is more than I could have hoped for.

I know I'm appreciated...I was just having a bad week. That wasn't directed at either of you.

And, after talking to one of you today, I hope you aren't somewhat bothered by the fact that I do things like that for you. I know that I didn't have to, but I wanted to. I never needed you to return any kind of feeling towards me...I just wanted how I felt to mean something, to be worth something. When I can do something that you like, or something that you need or want, that's when I feel good about myself. That's when I think I'm not so bad off afterall. Everytime I talk to you, I feel like I'm a little closer to heaven.
I know that I can never pay the debt I owe to you - it's much too big to pay. But I hope you understand that I have to try; it's just the way I am. Don't worry about me...you're not hurting me, I promise.
