"i know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be 'whelmed'?"
"i think you can in Europe.."

silly movie.

sometimes it's nice to escape the despotic and bland scenes of reality and let yourself sink into the madness and mayhem of a fictional world.
translation for the lexically impared:
"i'm bored. i think i'll go inspire some creativity in my life. or perhaps i'll watch a movie and dream."

anyways...
today was a pretty good day. school was average. got a fairly decent work load. i'm not stressing much, which is good, but i think i should be a little more worried than i am about all the stuff i have to do. it hasn't hit me that i got very little done today and i'm going to be swamped with all kinds of work tomorrow. oh well. on the positive side, i'm sticking with my new year's resolution of worrying less. however, there's a little voice inside my head screaming, "you're gonna regret it!!!"
pshhh. what does that little dude know anyway? i'll thank him later?!? pah! i can think for myself.

right.
eh hem.

my vocal audition for the pajama game went well today. mr. mcglynn seemed to like what i had to offer. gave me some improvement advice, some compliments, some hints on what to do tomorrow, and what appeared to be some very promising stares and notes. i don't care what i get... i just want a part. i'd like some speaking lines this year. it'd be so much fun. Les Mis was the greatest experience i've had in a musical... i want that back. it'd be nice to have a decent sized part, but for right now, i'm not going to be picky. i'm not a cocky person. i don't think i'm better than anyone else. therefore, i don't think i'm more deserving than anyone else for a part in the show. i just really want some lines. i want to be someone that people can recognize on stage. whether my part resemble that of young cossette or that of cinderella, it's a part, and it's going to be great. i'm going to give it my all and keep my fingers crossed. hopefully there's a spark inside me that mr. mcg will want to put in his show.

went out for dinner with eric tonight for some chinese. twas yummy. took the damn waiter 2 and 1/2 hours to bring us our check, but that's alright. i ate a whoooole lot of orange chicken and rice while we waited. mmmmmmm. that was fun. took up more time than i expected, but i enjoyed it none the less. things are always interesting when eric and i do stuff together. there's always something stupid that happens. at least we make good memories.
... but stop stealing my life! haha.

my fortune cookie from the restaurant reads: Pardon is the choicest flower of victory.
deep, isn't it?

alright, i'm off to practice and do homework before i can't keep my eyes open any more. you know that sleepy/drowsy feeling you get after eating a lot? yeah well, that's ganging up on me reaaaal quick. and i still have a lot to do! i heart procrastination.

I'm all at sea
Where no one can bother me
Forgot my roots
If only for a day
Just me and my thoughts
Sailing far away
