To express to you exactly how crazy my week has been, I'll tell you this: I have three -- yes, three -- saved drafts of posts from during the week that were from times when I thought I had time to write, and didn't.
So, keep your eyes peeled for posts from before this, an in-depth of the Superbowl Sunday party; a discussion of sour gummy candies; and a recounting of my various auditions of the week.
So I will summarize the auditions: I auditioned and got called back to two different things. I have since been cast as Mr. Kraler in The Diary of Anne Frank. I hate myself for this, but I am not enthused for this role. But then I remember similar feelings for other shows, and I've ended up loving them. So I'm trying to draw comparisons between this role and Jellaby from Arcadia (he's a similarly sized part) to drum up enthusiasm. So far, no luck. I'll get there, I'm sure.
I may or may not have been cast in the stage reading of The Trouble With Therapy, I really haven't checked the cast list. I need to do that though. I'm not holding my breath but we'll see.
Also, invitations to this sort of prom-esque dance our college has for juniors and seniors got sent out this week. It's in April, but we have to register this month...and I'm pretty sure that's with our dates too. I'm still looking for my date. Before you even say it, I asked James and he said no. I have a couple back up plans, should nothing pan out (thank you Damon and Dakota for that!)
So, I headed to XS after sort of but not really getting ready because I was hurrying to get there after one of my call-back auditions. It was a DJ Khumeleon week which means, of course, that it is packed and with a lot of straight men from Maryland. As usual, most of the guys I wanted to talk to were straight but...
I did meet a boy, though. And for fear of jinxing anything, that's all I'll say.
Oh, and he looks reminiscent Adam Brody. Only prettier and taller.
Friday, I went straight from classes to Harrisburg where I met up with Carl and we went down to the apartment he is living at where several of us met up before going down to Towson to meet up with the rest of the gang.
Ultimately, we had three cars going down to DC this week. That's a record for us and our entourage was huge. It was a lot of fun though. Like an extra ultra lot of fun.
Saturday was interesting only because, in all of the cars, and car-switching, etc that had occured when leaving Town I had managed to get separated from my jacket. And my car keys. So things got complex but we managed to reunite me with all of my stuff and I was able to collect and deposit my paycheck. Which is good, because I was overdrawn. Unfortch, that won't change til tomorrow.
So, basically, I'm facing the most profound lack of money I have ever personally experienced. Something to get used to, since I'm graduating in three semesters. :P
Overall though, I'm pretty content.
In fact, I think, right now the only thing that could make me more content would be having a new outfit (or two) for this weekend coming up. Yeaya!

Diary of Anne Frank? I can't think of much more important to play. Have you been to Amsterdam to her house? Any concentration/death camps? You'd realize the daunting task ahead of you, my friend. I wish you well. I'd love to see it!
I agree with Lewis. Anne Frank is a tremendously important play. My father was born in Vienna and was a Hitler Youth. His mother sent him to America right before WWII because she didn't like Hitler (and secretly she was Jewish). When he got older he joined the US Army and fought the Germans. His mother was sent to a work camp as punishment for sending him to the US (she survived). His father was forced into the German Army and when he refused an order, sent to Dachau, where he died in 1942. I was 40 when I found out that my father's family was Jewish. My father never knew that he was a Jew, as he had been raised Catholic and died before we knew.
I never thought that my family was part of the Holocaust and I never thought of myself as Jewish. But, I don't think it makes any difference because we are all human beings and suffer just the same. What was done to the Jewish people during WWII was horrible. All you need to know that is to be human. That is what Anne Frank is about. That poor girl, caught in a war that was no doing of her own, cooped up in a small room, she never saw the sunlight, could run outside, or do any of the things a young girl could do. What a horrible unfair life she led. Maybe find some other survivors to talk to... That might help.

I loved the Anne Frank writings...I dont know of many education facilities that don't (at some stage) bring her remarkable and devastating journey to life. Sue - WOW!
And I personally feel you on the money side...I too am poor and the moment & out of work...But we get through it...xoxo
