Circle of Life

Wow two Disney titles in a row? Well this is just on behalf of my slight obsession with all things Julie Taymor. I really think the titles I write have almost nothing to do with the entry beyond the first paragraph, but still. Lion King for the win?

So I'm at the point in a show where I want nothing to do with my actual life, honestly if I could work all day long until I eventually end up passing out on top of the cell block I would. Beyond my personal and school life falling apart at my feet I really have nothing else.

There's something comforting in working that long. I know I'm a masochist n'all but really, I love the feeling of coming home covered in paint and only having to think about what I'm gonna do after chorus rehearsal tomorrow.

I suppose I can't really beat around the bush on what I'm really saying- outside of Theatre life pretty much blows. Can't get the grades, can't get the guy... Just generally epicly failing at everything but painting, and even that's a bit shoddy. I'm sure eventually I'll get out of this slump, but for now it's gotten to the point where I've canceled my Facebook because I'm tired of the anxiety it gives me.

God this is supposed to be a theatre blog and I've turned it into some kinda bad teenage soap opera. Enough of this crap! Story time!

So as of right now I've almost died three times in the last day. Once was in the middle of a Huck Finn project where I was supposed to do a fake spit take and instead started choking in front of my entire AmStud class. Since it was a theatre-esq project they all thought I was just doing really good at acting. But you know, I'm not that good, of course not. So I was about to blackout when I finally managed to get some air in. Of course I was laughing at myself the whole time so it was pretty messed up to say the least.

Second time I tripped on one of the cell blocks and almost fell off the second story.

And the third time I almost got hit by a bus.

Something's trying to kill me I swear...

So I think that's enough for today, kinda run out of replays on YouTube for Lion King. That and I have a pre-calc test to study for (which I might not actually fail thanks to the subject matter actually being applicable to life)

Your's truly
