Seriously. Someone explain this to me.. Why do so many Americans refuse to eat/live in a healthy manner? Why is the loyalty to fast food and chemicals in your everything attributed to "American Pride"? I don't want to eat fast food or GMO crops. I don't want RBGH, BPA, pesticides or other chemicals in my food. I don't want parabens or SLS in my body care products. I don't want anti-bacterials, bleach, ammonia or other harsh chemicals in my house cleaning products. If I can't ingest a teaspoon of whatever the fuck it is- should you really be putting it on your skin or on your counter tops and floors? Oh and, why the fuck do you "need" a pick up truck that gets 12 mpg? If all you do is drive to and from work.. and have no use for a giant vehicle.. why the hell do you have one? People need to stop being excessive(ly retarded). I have tons more I can say on the matter but.. I'll leave it at this for now. Top 10 reasons to buy Organic Meat and Diarywww.treehugger.com Just a few things I wanted to throw this way. To sum, I'm just sick of people judging/labeling me as a hippy or wishy-washy know-nothing. I just want to eat and live in the most productive and healthy way as possible, without totally destroying the planet in the process. This isn't about keeping it all good and clean "for the children!"... for me, it's about doing the right thing and that is being environmentally considerate and conscious.

Oh why hello. Myth of Psyche and Cupid- Just damn, somebody should get Psyche on the suicide watch list. I have a feeling that if she ordered a banana milkshake at a diner and they said they were out of bananas- she'd be like "oh.. suppose I should just kill myself then..". It's like her answer to everything.. geez. Anyway. Submitted my application for the 3 week Contemporary British Drama program in London- If I'm accepted.. I'll be away from Dec 26th to Jan 17th. When I submitted it they said they still have room so.. heres to hoping! My sleep schedule is horrendously off.. for the last two weeks I've been going to be around 3-5am and then waking up anywhere from 8am to 2pm. It's driving me crazy! Emerson kept me awake for a couple of those days just because he wanted to spend time with me instead of sleep. Which is adorable, and sweet, and tiriiiing. Hah. I'm seeing La Damnation de Faust at the MET tonight. Free tickets, good seats, awesome boyfriend, totally stoked. I think I prefer Marlowe's Faustus but I can't resist an offer to see any version of Faust, anyway. Apparently- Some Cirque de Soliel members are doing acrobatics and various circusry on the stage as well, which is also a major part of the awesome. Got leatherworking tools as well, I just need to grab a proper mallet and rubber mat and I should be set. Lastly. My birthday, it's on Tuesday. I'm turning 21. It will be fantastic to legally drink, honestly. I do intend to celebrate it up on the 30th, in manhattan. Possible pub crawl/dave and busters/karaoke. If you are keen on this- let me know. It is a combination of the Lauren Silver's birthday and my own. I've really been jonesing for a proper gaming con or ren faire again too- I won't have a faire for a long while but.. Dreamation.. eventually..? Back to class- cheerio!

See, there's the thing. I'm the Doctor, but beyond that, I -- I just don't know. I literally do not know who I am. It's all untested. Am I funny? Am I sarcastic? Sexy? Right old misery? Life and soul? Right-handed? Left-handed? A gambler? A fighter? A coward? A traitor? A liar? A nervous wreck? I mean, judging by the evidence, I've certainly got a gob!

Love that scene! I'm rewatching Doctor Who from Eccelston to Tennant.. Again. Went to the NYRF twice this year. Picked up a khadija outfit from Moresca(finally- it's so damn pretty) and ordered a pair of Catskill boots.. Crazy amount of money but they are the most comfortable things I've ever tried on so- lets hope it's worth it. Besides, 20 year lifespan on boots? Yes, please. There is a good likelihood I'll be working at Moresca or Catskill next year anyway so it's not a terrible idea. I do plan on doing an audition for cast too- I mean.. the job I've got at Atomic is good and all, well paying, stupidly flexible hours but I am a theatre production major- I should really be doing SOMETHING more along the lines of my major. Besides, I have a sick and torrid love affair with the faire.
Speaking of, classes are moving along, all is well. Rob Zombie show coming up later this year, I just may buy tickets for it. Dances of Vice's Oscar Wilde event is also enticing, I'll definitely be there.
Okay- I should really get back to Doctor Who- I mean.. work. yeah, that.
Oh, and Hunter is doing it's first musical next semester, they are putting on Threepenny Opera which I'll certainly be auditioning for. I sort of have to, it's amazing.
Back to the Slitheens.

So, dropped my greek civ class. I just wasn't prepared to read 12 entire books for a Writing intensive class that didn't even fulfill anything in my GER. Acting has been interesting and sort of exploratory. It's something of a learning experience. Intro to Myth is sinfully easy- I actually do my Costume History homework in it. Costume History is pretty easy but I need to take rapid notes from the projector on the side of the room(augh-craning my neck) and remember alot of details, but I'm overall pleased about my classes. With the kind of coursework they've been giving me.. I shouldn't get too stressed, not often atleast.
We need to observe someone we find interesting and guess particulars about their life (job, relationship, kids, etc) and then bring a single costume piece to class and then take on their mannerisms and etc. So- watch somebody and then roleplay them, for Acting, of course. I'm absolutely going to find someone at the faire to watch..then maybe wear some garb to class.
and oh yes? tomorrow? I'm hitting the ren faire hard and long. I'll hopefully get there around 10:30-11am.. I've never actually gotten to the faire that early- ever but I'm damned stoked to do it. I've got some shopping plans for the Moresca booth as well. It looks like it'll be raining but I just can't bring myself/convince myself to carry around an umbrella. I think I'll just be sorta chilly in leather, hopefully it'll rain but still be kind of warm(but not humid). Tall order, I know.
I should get a facebook app for my phone.. you know, to post ren faire pictures. Eh- we'll see.
And on the note of 9/11, since everybody touches on it at some point today.. I'm amazed it's been 8 years. It seems like it was only 2-3 years ago but I suppose not. I think the city is healing up pretty well though, which is good. I can't wait until they finish building down there.

Oh my, what a time. Really. Looks like I haven't updated this thing in nearly two weeks.
I've been doing some epic cleaning, mostly. My other room is completely cleaned up, bookshelves have extra room, the closet is all organized, ahhh, clean. <3
I can't decide between doing my winter semester (dec 27th-jan 27thish) in Kerala, India, learning Kathakali and traditional Indian dance and theatre or... go to London, UK and do another modern/traditional theatre stint and going around the city. I've never really traveled outside of the continental US so I don't think going to India first would be the best idea.. but, it is definitely the more exotic and unique experience(and cheaper..) meanwhile London is like travel-lite since the US and UK are still pretty similar, when you take out the right side driving and euro.. And so, I ponder.
Aside from this, I'll be at Hunter college on Tuesdays and Fridays, from 11am to 5pm. Looks like the Long Island/Queens/Manhattan juggling act I've perfected will mean I'll be in Manhattan for fri, sat, sun, mon nights. Staying in Queens for tues and thurs nights and then I'll be in Long Island for one lonely weds night. Crazy, right? I gotta get a good apartment in Queensish for the next semester or sometime, it would definitely make this easier.
In cat news- It's late summer, Sophie will not stop shedding and rubbing herself all over everything. I love her but dear god, who knew cats could even produce this much fur and then still have enough for their own fur coat. Damn.
I've been slacking off of work abit to spend more time with friends/emerson though, I figure this is my last shot before the semester begins. Annoyingly enough though, I'm doing the ren faire runs on the first and second weekend of Sept, unless something else changes.
Also- I'm now on season 6 of Spooks. I think I started watching Spooks a month or two ago.. but it really is quite good.
I have have an epic ton of movies I need to catch up on.. Public Enemies, District 9 and now Inglorious Basterds. I haven't seen any of them yet but I do intend to...soon.. ish?
In gaming news- Vampire is fun, which is odd to say considering that I haven't gotten to interact with any other PCs yet but, it's still been good fun in my prologues and what not, I just need to wait for the PCs to get embraced so we can have a nice big vampire partay.
....backtospooks.
