I hate how I look. Not happy at all. I've let myself eat things I shouldn't. ... I was doing so well too. A stricter diet will start tomorrow; already have a journal to keep track, and workouts will commence once all my scenes are done.
I will lose weight damn it!

Happy Birthday, Shakespeare, you wonderful dead poet!!! Just for you I will speak to the members at work in an Elizabethan manner.
Update on life:
April 13th - LB's Birthday. Spent the day at school, then went straight to work. LB met me once my shift ended and we walked around the city a bit, ending up in K-Town for some late night food.
April 14th - Confronted DD on the rumors being spread about the two of us ... which ended up poorly. I sat there for at least an hour having him yell at me for no reason. Needless to say, rehearsing with him has not been fun. As much as I like Cowboy Mouth, I can't wait for it to be over. I actually can't wait for the semester to be over. All the attitudes happening in my group are ridiculous. Also saw Meta that night with HP, LF and LB. Not the best production of Meta I've ever seen. I was quite disappointed in it, so I don't think I'll even waste time seeing Hay Fever. Not worth it.
April 15th - Went into work at 5am thinking I had to open ... I didn't. So after being there for a couple hours I went back to the hotel and saw my mom who was visiting to help move some stuff into the apartment. We actually didn't move any of my belongings from the hotel there, but rather bought some furniture (one bed and four tables), kitchen appliances and a bunch of flowers for my garden. I met up with LB and GR for a couple drinks afterward, and spent the night at LBs place ... where we watched Extras ...
April 16th - Watched Extras again ...
April 21st - Joseph's farewell party at the Art Bar. Lizzi was in town and so I invited her over and we spent a couple hours catching up on life ... Atlanta sounds pretty fucked up. She's wanting to move up here (perfect idea), all she needs to do is convince Dusty. Shouldn't be too hard. After Lizzi left I moved over to where LB was sitting and hung out with that group. It was fun, despite us having to pay for other peoples food and drinks, and ID drunkenly hitting on me. Went to an after party. Smoked hookah. Listened to high people sing. Watched people pass out and ID be really drunk. Felt like I was back in college.
April 22nd - Had the best New York/Chinese food ever at a place directly across from The Ritz, then had a much needed nap back at LBs place. Met up with DD to rehearse, but he showed up 30 minutes late so all we could really do was go over our analysis. Again. I also saw SITI Company's production of Under Construction, which I really liked. I'm seeing it again on Monday after a talk-back with Anne Bogart (be jealous).
April 23rd - Woke up at LBs place, and left for rehearsal only to find out that the studios wouldn't be available till 5pm. WTF, Atlantic? DD and I spent an hour talking about our analysis (yet again), and then I left to get ready for work. And by "get ready" I mean get food from Tik Tok, lay in bed and watch Community. Now I've been here since 3pm, and have been completely bored since the spa closed. These next two hours need to hurry up! ... I might spend the night at my new place, but it's so quiet without having a tv or computer. I think I'll start staying there next weekend, when the only scene I'll have to worry about is the one I'm doing with Jess - and we're spending all of Friday rehearsing since she works double shifts on the weekends. Maybe I'll have my lease by that point so I can get my internet and cable running. That would be wonderful!
More later. <3

April 12, 2011
Was up all night with a bit of food poisoning, and have decided to take today off from school to get better. While I feel bad (and, I'll admit it, lazy) for not going in today, I do enjoy having a day spent in bed. This has been one crazy semester, always going and never stopping.
School started again in February, right at the time when I quit working for the evil chicken vinyl house. I couldn't stand working at that place anymore, and Andy telling me that he refused to work with my school schedule was the final straw. Since then, I have had interviews for places all over Midtown - Irish pubs, avant-garde clothing stores, movie theaters ... Now I am working for a gym located in a luxury residential building as a receptionist. For $10-$12/hr, I have to stand at a desk to answer phones, schedule in appointments and make sure the gym keeps clean and presentable. Not a bad job, except that I can do everything in the first five minutes of my 8-hour shift. I don't complain, though. People who work there are artists of some form, as well as students, so my manager understands our crazy schedules and is willing to work with that. And we know our schedules at the beginning of each week - which is more than what the chicken place ever did.
School has been much better this semester - I feel like I am doing really good work now. I think winter break was what I needed to deal with everything I was going through last semester and put it away. I've opened a lot more about who I am and what I believe in. The only thing I still am needing to work on is trusting myself, but who doesn't need to work on that? Scenes that I've worked on so far have been a lot of fun - This Is Our Youth, Betrayal, The Violet Hour, Bug; and right now I am working on Cowboy Mouth and a film scene that has yet to be decided. Outside of school, I am working on short film written and directed by another first year student. I'm really excited about it, but at the same time I am completely self-conscious about how I look and sound on camera. It's the reason why I always have stayed with theatre ... Guess we'll see?
I've also started seeing someone ... and I'm enjoying every minute of it. I catch my breath every time I see him. Don't know what that's about, but I can say that this has been so much better than any other kind of relationship I've found myself in. It's easy, which I've never been a witness to. Every relationship I've witnessed or been a part of has been full of arguments and abuse, and expectations that no one can ever give to another person. This - this is fun.
Another part of my life that is fun: moving into my new apartment. Which will happen this weekend! Packing this week has been a bit stressful, and this weekend will be no different. With work and rehearsals added on top of that, I am going to be exhausted. But I will soon be living one block from Central Park and the Dakota in a studio loft apartment that also has a backyard. Photos will be added later. So excited!
