I'm Still Waiting But hopefully not for too long.

While working on crew for the last play, I made an off-hand remark about how I would propose the exact minute I met the woman who's DVD collection rivaled mine. With some further thought this analogy actually works. Of course it can't just be comparable in numbers; after all while 120+ DVDs is remarkable it is hardly monumental. I'm sure there are plenty of women out there with at least that many or more. No, I'm looking for the collection that completes mine. For example I own three of the View Askewniverse films: Clerks, Clerks II, and Dogma. If I find the woman with Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, it will be a good start. We could then purchase Jersey Girl together as an engagement gift. Love is about finding the perfect compliment. Not necessarily the exact opposite of you but someone with whom you can make the perfect right angle.

No matter what you say, Children won't listen

  Band-aid on my Forehead. Yes I know it's a brand name.

My nose is stuffy.

I'm tired of Jitters. I've been working on the show for a while now and the excitement is just running out. A couple nights ago there was some chaos and we were told to strike the set at post show, then to not strike it, after we had already started. Then Jason snapped at me for something, I don't remember what, but I couldn't leave until my crew was dismissed, even though we weren't doing anything. Tonight was just really slow. I thought were were almost done with the third act when we had only just started the second. I did pick up a little when Topher, Thomas, Courtney and I were talking about favorite plays. This culminated with Topher and I discussing Angels in America. I made it clear that I didn't think it was very good, and Topher found this shocking. This was cleared up when he realized my only experience with it was the Tech production of the second half. He is now going to rent the movie for me and I'm going to watch it over the weekend and reevaluate my opinion

I've been really existential recently which has it's pluses and minuses. On the one hand I feel like there are no consequences of my actions and I have found myself saying things that I might not have a few weeks ago. on the other hand, I've been saying things that I may not have a few weeks ago. I spilled my guts to Craig about how I feel in regards to certain women, and I have no idea why.

Speaking of women, it's all a conspiracy. It seems to me like they don't appreciate boldness. the direct approach just doesn't seem to work. A while ago, I was explaining to Topher that I created "happy accidents" when pursuing somebody. Happy accidents could also be considered orchestrated coincidences. Women prefer their relationships to just come naturally, unfortunately that doesn't happen easily or often so it is up to us to make it seem as if it is. Being in the same place at the same time, or striking up a spur of the moment random conversation that lasts much longer that it should takes work. Yes it's creepy, but if you don't know it's happening what's the problem? You people need to be more paranoid.

I have my interview to be Lead Mentor next Monday. I really think I have a shot at the job, but I'm worried that it will have a negative impact on my grades if it takes up too much of my time. The interview should be interesting, It will be my boss, his boss, and the two current Lead Mentors. Of those people I know my boss and the Lead Mentors rather well and I think they all like me and think I have a real grasp of what the program is about and how to continue to improve it. I also picked up my last two checks today. I am now almost six hundred dollars richer.

Thus ends the verse

  Life is Weird So I hurt my had a few nights ago. It still hurts.

I really want to go home, but I can't because I'm giving a ride to somebody and we're not leaving until tomorrow morning. I should really start packing.

My right nostril has been stuffy for a few days now. Also not fun.

Things are looking up!
I've been looking the landscape over
And it's covered with four leaf clover

My right ear has apparently shrunk. I can't fit my ear buds into it.

There is a lot of trash in my room.

Sam's place has been closed for 4 hours now, and won't open tomorrow. All I have to eat is stuff I can find in my room.

I actually gave a woman my phone number last night. That was cool and weird.

I think I'm going to take my wii home for Thanksgiving.

I made a video of me eating a bowl of chili and will post it onto youtube in the near future.

Five foot eleven standin' in six feet of snow.

  I Hope That Something Better Comes Along "Stay away from women, that's my motto. I can't, that's my trouble."
- Rowlf the Dog

I think I finally realized I was single when I noticed that I sized up every woman I met for dating potential. From what I can tell this is not an inherently weird thing to do, but it certainly is a new experience. There have been a number of women who would fall into the category of "dateable." Unfortunately I don't really think any of them have placed me in the same category. Well there is one, but I don't actually know her. It's kind of weird. For the purposes of this blog I'm going to reference them by various pseudonyms.

Oprah: A nice girl but currently "dating Jesus" As someone pointed out to me I seem to like the weird ones, but this is a weird that proves to be an obstacle.

Monica: I've been interested in her for a while now, but I got shot down and haven't pursued it since.

Jill: Very attractive, but in what appears to be a steady long term relationship.

Erin: Too old for me, apparently.

Sweater (not the best pseudonym, but what do you want): Could be interesting, but we don't know each other too well and I think she might be interested in a mutual classmate.

That's all the ones I want to talk about for now.

There's something irresistibleish about 'em

  Some Recent Thoughts These are in little to no order.

I thought for a period of time that, it if wasn't for the sex with men thing, I could handle being gay. But the I realized that I don't understand men any more than I do women.

While I understand the concept of "dating Jesus" I don't think it's a very effective system. The world is not like a romantic comedy (as much as we might like it to be) and the perfect person will not stumble into your life in a whirlwind of coincidence and perfect mistakes. God doesn't work that way, it's too lame.

Apparently I have poor taste in women. Well that may not be exactly a shocker, but I have gained some new information in the past twenty-four hours that have reinforced the theory.

Sometimes I wish I was as dark, brooding and mysterious as I appear upon first sighting. Although I don't know if I actually appear dark, brooding or mysterious, but I'd like to think I do.

I feel bad for you two. You are still being dragged along behind her. I'm glad I got out. I want to feel bad for her too, but I just can't bring myself to feel those emotions.

I have seriously considered doing something stupid in the past few weeks. Well actually I did something stupid a few weeks ago, but I did it anonymously. This second thing might possibly make it not anonymous. And if my intrepid readers are smart they might be able to figure out what it was simply because I am writing about it here. That is the chance I take.

My writer's bock has broken a little it seems. The ideas are still few and far between, but at least I'm writing again.

I got paid fifty dollars for acting at LCT. I then went out and bought How I Met Your Mother season two. I love this show. It is very re-watchable.

I have to start looking for grad schools soon. Which means I have to start trying to decide what I wan to do in grad school. I thought I wanted to go into playwriting, and I do, but Dr. Chansky recently told me that she thinks I would do well in research. Despite all the warnings I have heard, I think Dr. Chansky actually likes me.

I submitted a script to RROAPS, and I am really afraid that I am being too hopeful about it. I really don't think I should expect to get picked, because the odds aren't in my favor, but I find myself thinking about the production and talking about it as if it had already been selected.

I'm also afraid about my trip to Canada. I really have very little planned and that's how I want it. However, I'm not sure it will turn out well.

I'm going to bed now.

I got so much to say
And all of it's cliché
