I am not dead.

Heeeey....sorry guys. I've been at my other blog all week (I'm not dead. Sheeezzz...)

So I bought this watch today, which is beautiful and sweet and big and white and shiney and silver and...not all that expensive ($26). Then it fell off the table in my room. I though, no big deal. The whole room has carpet. But no! It hit, face down, the only thing on the floor that was hard enough to break the glass in the front. My sword. Seriously! It just happend to hit the only hard surface, and that hard surface had to be right there, and it had to hit face up! There is no glass in the front of my watch now. It still is a sweet watch and all, but...has no glass on the front. I'm kinda sad about that.

Sooo....play practice. And more play practice. Oh! Yeah! And play practice! Speaking of play practice, I really should be memorizing my lines right now. Realllyyy really should. I have 9 days left to memorize Act II. I got Act I in 5 days, but for some reason, I just can't get into Act II. Augh! *pokes self in eye*

Anyways. Life is jolly. Except for random people *cough*Joey*cough* Who think that home schooled kids must all be retarded. Sure. I am. But thats no reason to think the rest of them are! He was asking me how it worked and all (which is hard to explain sometimes), and he seriously said (And I quote)
"So, do you have any friends?"

What the freakin....One part of me wanted to laugh in his face. Yes. I have friends. Thankyouverymuch. They are normal. They wear Americrombe clothes, they dye their hair, they swear, they sing good songs, ect. Gimme a break!

It's so amusing (and yet annoying) how people stereotype homeschoolers to be skirt wearing, Velcro shoes tying, sweat pants buying, huge glasses peering, geeky brain working, social rejects.

We aren't.
Welll....some of them are. There are a few they I laugh softly at - out of pitty - because they are just so pathetic. But I feel for them - though I do make fun of them - and realize that its their parents that have made them that way.

But it gets a little frustrating sometimes to tell people I home schooled. *sigh* Just another point against me while I'm down here. I'm short. I'm a red head. I'm new. I was/am home schooled. And...I'm still in highschool. The first two aren't for real (lol. I made a joke about myself. Umm...hooray?). But its like...augh! I can't figure these people out.
Everywhere else I go, people like me. I have friends. I have someone to talk to and joke with, all the time. No matter where I am. I'm never the new kid. I'm the one who comes over and talks to the new kid and makes them hang out with us. Now I'm the new kid and...it sucks!

The director was all worried about me the other night. I was leaving and he was all "How are you?"
"Umm...fine?"
And he was sayin how he didn't know me very well and I was hard to read and I didn't have much to say or give very much feedback. What is there to say? He knows more about theatre than I do, so I'm not going to argue with him about stuff (except that 'Antipathy' line), and he hasn't really asked any questions while we're on stage, so there is no place for him to get feedback from. Personaly, I'm just elated to be in a stage with a director who knows what he's going, and a cast who doesn't completely suck! Sure, there have always been a few good people in all my other productions, but pretty much the entire cast rocks.

I'm rambling. But there isn't anything else to do. I came down the college early cause I made an apointment on IM to talk to my friend from Sweden (she is leaving for Egypt tomorrow. Crazy woman), but I said it would be 1:00 or so when I got on, and I didn't get here until 1:30, and I got here, and she wasn't on and so now I'm just waiting for play practice to start.

All these other things have happend, but I've told my Xanga, and my friends and my writen journal, so I'm kinda like "I just don't wanna talk about it any more."

My stomach has been really loud the past couple days. Seriously. It's like, constantly making noise! I was sitting in Comp II yesterday, and it was like "Bwwaaarrrk!" And I wasn't even hungry. What is with that?
Why am I telling you this? *laughs*

SixthLie. I forgot about the Hobbit Feet contest! Sorrryy...*cringes* I haven't found any people. Most people I know have normal lookin feet. I shall continue the search (that was started and stopped like, 2 days after the challenge).

*sighs* I should check emails and all that, and reply to them before I have to leave. And I need to find the bathroom....not that you needed to know that. But I thought I would let ya know.

Later

I wonder why you can't get into Act II? **wink wink nudge nudge** That sucks about your watch. I would be really upset because it would stop anytime something got in the way! Arg. Do you need help with your lines? I need someone to run lines with me, too. I have them almost all the way memorized, I just always get messed up at this one part!

i didn't think home schooled kids were "geeky brain working". ok, i thought the rest of the stuff was true but if you say it isn't so, i believe you.

i dont mean to pry but why were you homeschooled? was it just a choice thing or your parents didn't agree with what was being taught or is it a cult thing or you live somewhere in the boonies and there are no godo schools in the area?

sorry, home schooling is a basically an alien concept here. naturally, we're curious...i'm thinking about my mother trying to sit me down at 8 in the morning to do school work. it's not happening...
