John Leguizamo is incredible. His two stand up shows are amazing. He's not a comedian, though, it's not stand-up he does. He's an actor, they're one man shows, and he's so great. Because they're true, they're his life. He's very cool...


scrawled down earlier today:

There is a flock of gorgeous parrots outside of my house. It�s really weird, there are tons of them. There has to be at least twenty, beautiful green birds, like you�d see in a zoo. Someone said they escaped from some zoo, and come back every summer. They�re outside, in two trees and on the power lines, making the most obnoxious noises, but still, it�s cool. This doesn�t happen at my other house, you know? It�s this sort of weird stuff that doesn�t make me mind living here. New experiences. That�s what I�m about, right now. I can�t explain.



My brother received a dollar bill with this message stamped on it:
Find out where this bill�s been,
Find out where it�s going!
www.wheresgeorge.com

This is the coolest idea ever. You can trace a dollar bill around the world. My brother told me about this one dollar his friend had watched, which was in the WTC on September 9. And there have been ones that have travelled all over. It�ll be cool to see where ours went. You guys should check it out. We wrote the message on some bills, but some are already stamped. If you get one, please do it! It�s so cool!



Did I mention there was another gay movie on last night? It's called Jeffrey, and it has Steve Webber and the guy from the Pretender. oh, and Patrick Stewart. it's really cute, and sad, and stuff. And after, though I couldn't stay awake that long, there was another movie I used to watch a lot that had a gay side story, called the Crew.

like I told Alliance, there is always a gay movie on, at least once a night. it's not a bad thing, though...



I had almost forgotten phrases like UST. I remember when things like shipper, noromo (god, what silly fools), and that all powerful, wonderful one, MSR, were common phrases.

UST. funny.

hey, the Replacements is on! i met that guy! that's going to keep me happy for a bit. ;)



hmph. i am not having a pleasant weekend. maybe i should just do my homework now...


did i mention already that my pager's gone? it makes me very, very sad. and i feel... incomplete. that sounds silly, but i need it!!


Today isn't so good, either. I think I did something bad this morning, but I really don't care. In fact, I'm really rather glad I forgot about it. But for once I'm not going to talk about it. :)

And I missed something this morning, which makes me rather sad, but that's what happens when you live out here and have no car. i'll get over it.

highlight of today:

i met the guy who played the deaf man in The Replacements. he's working on our show, he's a techie, lighting designer or at least helping him.

other than that... well, today sucked. i didn't do anything tonight, and felt... bad. not happy thoughts, you know?

oh, speaking of which, if i die, will someone show this to my parents? my blog, i mean. i'm not saying i'm going to kill myself or anything, don't worry. just in case, you know? natural disasters or something. i just want them to see. but only if i die before them...

TAKE ACTION: SPEAK YOUR SILENCE

As the Day of Silence, April 10, 2002, draws to a close, join thousands of
others from around the country and Speak your Silence by sharing how your
participation went. The Day of Silence website will host this new section,
"speak out" starting April 10, 2002. Share what you organized in your
school community, how it went and what you learned... then check back to see
selections posted from around the country. Encourage other Day of Silence
participants from your school to also "speak their silence" by sending the
link to them!

While the Day of Silence may be over, your voices will continue to be heard!
Speak Out online at Day Of Silence webpage.

Think this would be a cool thing for all of us Marlborough kids to do? There are a lot I've already read on LJ and such that are incredible.



i wish that was more eloquent, but i really can't think of much to say. and all my friends said it so much better. you guys are great.


Wow. Today was so much better than I thought it would be. Over two hundred people. Incredible. I never thought we�d get that many, or that every single person would know what it was. That was great. Thanks so much, everyone. Now I�m home, and I don�t want to do homework and work and all that stuff. I�m going to fail a physics test tomorrow.

The end of Gremlins II is SOOOO cute!! when he starts naming the cable channels. gah. i love cuteness.


Just wanted to remind everyone, because I forgot to say it in the assembly and just in general.

Y'all know that there's a meeting after school, right? to break the silence? we have food and stuff (though if y'all wanna bring something, we won't complain), and it should be fun. the benches outside of the library. yay us.




Which Angelina Are You?


Which Angelina Are You?


Which Angelina Are You?

there are more, but too much work. how about if you guys take the tests?




This is the one i got, but i want to post more of them (because, well duh, she's fucking hot):


Which Angelina Are You?



this is definitely keeping my busy. i'm still nervous, though. excited, but nervous, too. i hope this makes a difference. i hope something.


Benny & Joon is so completely cute and adorable. if anyone hasn't seen it, you should. i've made grilled cheese sandwiches like that. *grin*

also, Crybaby is, of course, a work of genius. and that's definitely when he's the hottest. mmm...




You Are Sam From "Benny & Joon."

You are very talented at physical comedy. People are in awe of your abilities. However, you have many quirks which can either win people over or completely annoy them. But you're a sweetheart through and through, and it's hard not to love you.

Take The Johnny Depp Quiz!

but some answers i could've chosen more than one, so i'm also:


You Are Edward From "Edward Scissorhands."

You are very shy and often misunderstood. Innocent, sweet, and artistic, you like to pass your days by daydreaming and expressing yourself through the arts. You are a truly unique individual. Unfortunately, you are quite lonely, and few people truly understand you.

Take The Johnny Depp Quiz!

and:


You Are Crybaby From "Crybaby."

You are the definition of cool. You may be tough, but deep down you're very emotional and not afraid to show it, even if it means crying. Most people don't know that you have a hidden talent for singing. But come on - that tear tattoo was a pretty stupid idea.
Take The Johnny Depp Quiz!

Complete coincidence that these are my favorite Johnny Depp movies, of course. just happened that way, yanno? *grins* He's a god. You know that, right?





Which John Cusack Are You?







Which Rocky character are you?



I'm kind of nervous about tomorrow, and I'm not sure why. I mean, we've gotten huge amounts of support, and i'm really excited. but i'm definitely nervous, too. that something will go wrong, maybe? but i don't think that's it. i don't know what.

but i'm watching Gremlins II right now, and Gizmo is sooo cute. and now his song is stuck in my head. awww, he's adorable. I want a Mogwai. and besides, his song is better than having the Kafka songs stuck in my head, since people look at my funny when i sing it.

but why am i nervous? i don't know. but it'll be ok, right? right.

awww, Linds and Mel are getting married!!!! this is so cute. it's all working, because of Brian. this is fabulous. ok, must be off to go watch it.


OK. So I survived the first day back, mostly. Didn�t get in trouble for sweatpants, saw friends that I love, generally had a decent time. Found a ride to the theatre this week, too. Even got to go to rehearsal, which was fun as always. And when I arrived, they all applauded, which made me feel very happy. In the end, I walked around with Allen and Michael, and learned and talked about a lot of stuff, from heart surgery to school to marriage to cutting. They�re cool people, especially Michael. And I borrowed his jacket when we went to get Tacos, and accidentally kept it when he dropped me off at school. I�m giving it back tomorrow, but it is such a cool jacket. Oh, and while we were waiting at the taco place, they both gave me very weird looks and asked what was meant by:

�BIG
BOOBS
ORGANS
ORGASM�

I love you, Kiki. :) Oh, and there was this hilarious girl named Fiona who came for a bit of rehearsal, who�s going to design our costumes. We all agreed, she�s a bit odd in the head. She�s ditzy in this very difficult to explain way, not like a funny person who pretends to be an airhead sometimes. She really seemed like� the lights were on but no one was home. But it was funny.

Anyway, I guess that�s mostly my day. Course scheduling was interesting, especially when I realized I might be able to get a fantastic schedule next year. I might sign up for conversational Spanish, though. We�ll have to see. How was your day?



ok. see, i was right. things are turning out ok. zoe's driving me this morning (thank you), my mom will pick me up from school, and, if i can get a ride from an actor back to school, it will all be cool.

of course, as to how i get to rehearsal the rest of the week, who knows, but today is taken care of, and so i'm ok.

the rest of the week will be at Blue, though, the coolest club in the universe, so i feel better.

you can't wear sweat pants today, huh? well, tough, it's fucking cold and my legs are gross and bloody. i have PE first, so that's my excuse, i can take them off for Math (it's in Uribe's room, the psycho hose beast), and none of my others teachers will care, hopefully.

so that's where i'm at right now.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!

and i just wrote this whole fucking thing and got signed off.

shit. i'm freaking out. i think i'm having an anxiety attack. i have so much shit going on. and it's 11 o'clock on a sunday night, and i have school tomorrow, so i don't have time to call all these people i have to call (including my dad to figure out how i'm getting to his house tomorrow) and stuff. i don't know how i'm getting to school tomorrow, i don't know how i'm getting to rehearsal, and i'm not entirely sure i know how i'm getting home.

and i know it's stupid, it'll all work out fine, but i'm terrified for some reason. really terrified.

hey. i will pay any of you $ to drive me to a theatre tomorrow on Pico between Fairfax and La Brea after school. if you can't, i'm sure i could find something, don't worry, but it would help out a lot.

so just... i don't know. hopefully, i'll see some of you tomorrow at school. i'm fucking tired and freaking out now, i should go...



Today was good. I love YLP. it's so incredible. i wish i could share this. those people are so great. and today especially, since it was our last day before we all graduate and stuff.

and i love my dialogue group. it's so great, with the perfect people in it. we have one white YL (me!), one black girl (Patrisse, who is so incredible), one Latino boy (Edwin, who is such a cute guy, a great friend), and one Asian girl (Trinh, who is so cute and kind and awesome), and two incredible staff people. so it's a nice, small group where we got to get close, and they're such cool people. i can't stress that. i'm going to miss that dialogue group.

oh, but know who else i got to hang out with today? (other than chris, with his new braids, who is just always fabulous)

DANNY! my big adopted brother who i love so so much. i actually got to hang out with him a bit today. i wish i could've seen him more. he's so important to me, even though it seems like i only knew him a short while. we figured it's been about two years, which is insane, because it feels like only a little time. but maybe that's because we only saw each other sporadically, or something. but still, i got to see him, and it was good.

so yeah. i'm in a good place right now. though i have rehearsal tonight, and i'm forced to stay at my mom's. but it's ok. oh, shit. i have to call my dad, figure out how the fuck i'm getting home. not to mention to rehearsal, but i can either get my mom to drive or take the bus, i guess. fuck.

but still, good YLP today. i'm good. they make me happy.



thank you, gabrielle! weird, but cool. sorry i couldn't talk longer on the phone the other night, but i was running late.


i have to stay at my mom's tomorrow night, because dad won't pick me up from rehearsal, and mom won't drive me to dad's. not to mention the fact that i'm fucked next week, getting to rehearsal, and then home. fucking school, ruined everything.


what does this mean?

Non illam nutrux, oriente luce revisens hesterno collum poteret circumdare filo...
-- Catullus



i had quite a lovely day today. in the afternoon (because kiki and mal don't wake up till noon), i went to the movies with brittfoot, malcolm, and kaelan, three people i absolutely adore and didn't get to see at all this break, or much of in general, so it was really great seeing them. i highly regret having to leave to early, but then i had other lovely plans.

at 7:30, i went with laura and zoe to see Beauty and the Beast at the Imax, which was a lot of fun, since we sang along and joked about lots of funny things and were generally obnoxious teenagers. and then we drove around Sunset and Santa Monica and tons of other places, also being obnoxious teens (i had a fabulous time screaming at the limos and just random people, "are you famous?!?") and just having a cool time. and now i'm home.

oh, and i called kiki, which is always nice. and now i'm tired. so i think i'm going to head off to sleep.
