Because I'm not Growing Up, I'm already too tall.
It has been too long and an update is definitely needed. So, things have going absolutely marvelously recently. I was able to take care of the whole giant utilities bill that I got shafted with a week and a half ago and I have been getting by well, and will continue to do so until my next pay check comes in next week. So financially things are looking up and that makes me very happy. Things are going to be getting even better soon too, as ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
lilium_vitiate should be moving in by the end of the week or early next week at the latest (knock on wood) and that will help cut down the cost of the room quite a bit between the two of us. That and us living together is going to be amazing anyways...
In other news, my 21st birthday was this weekend and it was quite an amazing weekend (and in this sense I consider my weekend to have lasted from Wednesday night to about two hours ago). It all started Wednesday night with Her showing up here earlier in the week than she usually does. Thursday was work, followed by a night of relaxing at home (couldn't make it out to Perversion this week, but we should next week) and then Friday was work again (I haven't minded work so much recently, been working on Civilization Revolution stuff recently). After work, came home to Her again (which I absolutely love doing. I don't think I will ever get tired of it.) and made dinner before heading out to a great low key party where it started raining just minutes after midnight for my birthday (it was amazing). There was much fun to be had at the party and I had wonderful birthday beginning. For the day part of Saturday we simply slept in, hung out, I made dinner again (served with the first legal drink I bought, a great bottle of White Zinfandel) and we watched Across the Universe before heading to Rocky. That night was mine and theteabegreen 's year anniversary on cast, and we performed together and had a good ol' time (which consisted of a number of people making or buying me drinks throughout the night). I performed slightly intoxicated and I didn't miss any cues, screw up any blocking, or fuck up in any noticeable way; it was a good show. After getting home after the show, We slept in till very late on Sunday, wasting most of the day in bed (which I cannot complain about in the slightest) before heading out to Clue rehearsal at the Nuart. It went well, the show looks good, and there was much snogging to be had in the back rows while not on stage (mainly by Us, no one else seemed to find it appropriate snogging time). Today was work again (man, why is this game still so fucked and already out in stores?) and then coming home to Her (still amazing) and taking a slight nap before making dinner for Her, Her family (which I invited over for dinner tonight a) to show them that I am a good guy and that I will take of her and b) because we have all never had a chance to sit and dine together). Dinner went very well, even if I was a ball of nerves the entire time (apparently it was cute and endearing).
Now, I sit here after seeing them all off, missing Her, revelling in the memories of this weekend, and wishing the We were living together already. It's funny, it has only been a couple of days, but I actually do feel older since my birthday. Not that is a bad thing, just...noticeable. I wonder what it means?

Also, in March I am being paid to perform poetry at a Literature Festival in Moorpark for two hours, which would mean that I would now be an officially paid performing poet.
And today was great too. I got invited to go and teach a class on Performance Poetry at Royal High School in Simi today and the class went splendidly. The students are getting for the High School 'Poetry Out Loud' competition, which could eventually take them nationally if they win, so it was great to be a part of that. And then tonight I went with some friends from The Read to The Cobalt Cafe in Canoga Park and performed there on the open mic as well. That show went well too and a number of people seemed really interested in my stuff. I am so psyched about my poetry career actually progressing more and more.
PS. On a completely unrelated and disjointed topic, Heath Ledger died today. Just thought I would add to the general consensus of people posting about it. I am only really sad that he is not going to be able to reprise his role as the Joker at any later date now. Also, I had the biggest crush on him for awhile. That is all.

sexychicken and boymaenad in particular for putting together everything for the floorshow/ Springtime for Hitler bit. The quick superglued felt nazi armbands are awesome and the music jumping right in, along with the choreography and everything that went into it all was just amazing. I was proud to be a part of it.My hair though on the other hand, while very jewish and puffy, will never be fro-ed like that again. It just took me over an hour in the shower to brush, condition, shampoo, and condition again, along with more brushing, to get it back to what it is normally like. And I ended up pulling like an egg sized ball of hair from my brush afterwards. Fuck that noise.....I have a headache now from all that brushing......oi vey.
Now, maybe I can get some sleep.....or I will just stay up all day and finally try to get myself back onto some sort of normal sleep schedule.....

I had to go to Moorpark College to register for classes next semester, two art classes with lots of artwork needing to be done in them and an english class. I wanted to get into the creative writing class, but I have yet to complete the prereq apparently, so only those three next semester, with probably some theater stuff in the mix as well when I see what is on the bills for next semester. Well, that took the whole of like half an hour, so I had like four hours of just sitting around campus until the poetry workshop I had later in the day on campus and it was around noon so I wandered to get some food. Munched on Bugles and Animal Cookies, finished some poems, and then grabbed a couple of bucks in quarters and spent much time on Metal Slug 3. Oh how I love that game. At around two I finally look up from the game to see a poster about four feet to my left, advertising none other than Nathan Fillion (Malcolm Reynolds...'Firefly', 'Serenity') being on campus this very day to have a Q&A session with students in the theater. And it was in a half an hour. Wrapping up my killing spree on Metal Slug I rushed across campus with time to find a good seat for the session.
Nathan Fillion is an awesome guy. Well spoken, really straight forward, and quite witty, the Question and Answer session was a great experience: from hearing funny tales about Joss Whedon, Tom Hanks, and Christopher Walken, to hearing more about how the business of films works, and about acting and life in general. It lasted for a bit over an hour and then I was off to my poetry workshop where we talked all about the workshop for next semester. We made the workshop and our open mic events a lot more popular this semester and we plan on doing even more next semester. And I am going to start taking a bigger role in it all. Starting with the second open mic of next semester I am going to be the host of each of the Reads, as well as one of the key people in putting together each of the events. It feels great to have helped build this workshop into something so big and still growing. And even better is that for that first show of the semester (the one I am not hosting) I am going to be one of the featured poets for the event, meaning I actually get to do a full set for everyone, like 15-20 minutes of poetry for everyone. I am stoked.
EDIT:
trigger_poisal resolves to...Go to the dungeons every month.
Cut down to ten rpgs a day.
Backup my rant regularly.
Drink four glasses of eberron every day.
Learn to play the techno.
Some of them are oddly worded (like drinking Eberron [drink a whole campaign setting?]) and #1 & 3 are kind of repetitive, but I think I need to remind myself twice to cut down sometimes.
EDIT 2: I can't figure out how to lessen the length of that blank spot before the embedded object....I just don't know.....sorry.

The crappy part though is that I have to wait until Monday morning to see if I was cast or not. I hate waiting.

the_wise_wyn is one of the directors and he talked me into coming out for auditions and I am very glad that he did. I haven't done any sort of stage performance for quite some time and frankly I must say that I have missed, well not the auditioning process...Anyways, there are four shows this semester, and I got a callback for all of them. Apparently I was one of the better male performers at the auditions today and all of the directors are looking at me closely for parts in their plays. I am so excited for the callbacks tomorrow.....man, I have missed this.
