Hi, Pretention:
"Glory Holes Productions is casting Glory Holes, a short film about seven characters’ personal experiences with nihilism throughout the course of a summer day in New York City. Think Kids meet Never Ending Story meets David Lynch [...] Send pix & résumés, with some information about yourself and your motivation for being a part of the project, to ***"
I don't have a motivation beyond wanting a job, and I don't particularly feel like making one up. Nor do I feel like inducing vomiting for the camera, which is a requirement of the part I'd be up for. They say take every opportunity you get, but I'm sticking with having neither holes in my esphogus nor nihilistic ideology in my brain. I'm not even sure what nihilism is.
Love,
I guess I'm not too much of a hipster after all
Also, and this is for you, Kate my love, there's a casting notice for "Saddam: The Musical." |

so there was a negative post about bare on the vassar gossip server. i'm really gonna have to learn to not let that kind of thing get to me if i want to do this with my life, but they said that our two male leads were good and everything else was bad. they also said that the female vocals could have been better.
i want to respond with bitch, you try belting an e flat for 16 bars with your back arched. but why do i even care?! UGH.
they also said that the choreography was lame, but i can live with that. we were kind of running blind in that respect, i can totally see how it wasn't great. i can also see why some people think the show is shitty (i agree, but it's a guilty pleasure of mine anyway). They didn't even specifically say that I sucked, I just choose to obsess over whatever negatives I can get my hands on. Lame lame lame. |

I had two hours of ridiculously rigorous dance rehearsal for the hardest, most endurance-requiring dance I've ever done. I then started the paper that was due Tuesday. Because of only getting four hours of sleep that night, my body didn't register the intense pain by body was now in until Wednesday. This is also because my schedule on Tuesday was as follows:
9 AM- finish paper: 3 hrs.
- go to class: 1 hr.
- edit paper: 2 hrs.
- go to class: 1 1/2 hrs.
- go to meeting: 1/2 hr.
- pick up food: 40 mins.
- go to rehearsal for 1 dance: 1 hr.
- leave early, go to rehearsal for tap: 1 hr.
- leave early, go to friend's show: 1 hr.
- leave early, go to rehearsal for second dance: 1 hr.
I then got another 5 hours of sleep that night. I am now beginning another paper, due tomorrow. I had 7 hours of rehearsal yesterday, and have 7 again today in preperation for my show tomorrow night. And I just got my period and am out of clean underwear, without time to do the laundry.
EDIT: And then I stepped on my straightening iron. |

Joey told me last night about how he was tormented in high school. It's really just awful.
Today, Casely texted me and said "want to hear a funny/mortifying story?" She got back to the room and I asked her what the story was:
"Emily Dake and I were talking about Emily Vail and her boyfriend, and how sweet and innocent a relationship it was, Emily said it was really fascinating. And I said 'yeah, it's really interesting watching Jeannine and Joey.' And Emily stopped and went "WHAT??" And I said 'yeah, didn't you know? They're dating! It's on facebook.' And Emily said "I thought that was a joke!!!" And then Max Scher, who I don't even really know, came up behind us and was like "Me too!" and walked away. And I turned to Emily and was like 'Is it because you think he's gay?' and Emily goes 'Yeah, what is she thinking???' And I was like 'I dunno...'"
So Casely finishes the story and I go "That was your funny slash mortifying story?"
"Yeah!"
"So when you said mortifying, you meant for me."
"Yeah, what else would I have meant?"
I fucking hate people. |

...so this isn't me posting twice in one day. It is, however, me procrastinating.
I just came upon this whilst writing the outline for my paper. Due tomorrow. I thought you might be interested.
Today in rehearsal, I was studying for my paper. I left the room for a few minutes, and when I got back, someone had written on the paper I had been studying.
It reads:
I'm in love with you and I always will be. I wanna cover you in maple syrup and spank you with waffles. - Your Secret Admirer |

I'm fine guys, don't worry 'bout me. Mood swings.
Huh, that's cool. I'm technically one-in-a-million.
I just read an article in the New Yorker about a genius boy who killed himself. My mom knew them, actually, from her POGO (that's what they call it in the article - parents of genius offspring - ooooh, catchy) support group network thing. The family thought they did everything right, and they glorified the poor boy. Like he's a martyr. They compared him to fucking Jesus. They actually think they killed himself so he could donate his organs and help - what, 5 people? His child psychologist (Linda Silverman, a famous crackpot IQ-tester) thinks he was an angel sent to the mortal world for only a short time. His parents, they devoted their lives to him. He was homeschooled, he finished high school when he was 10.
Anyway, they're not exactly the parents from hell. They didn't make up his 178 IQ, they're not stage parents really. They really act like they wanted him to have his own life. But he didn't, he was isolated and made out to be something that he couldn't possibly live up to, and it's creepy. It's sick. It's sicker than those obviously awful genius-parents, because it's subtler and harder to see the negative.
I want to write a little letter to the New Yorker. Saying that there's something wrong with that family's dynamic. And that profoundly gifted kids aren't better or more empathetic or more giving than other people. They actually say that, the people that are interviewed, it's fucking unbelievable. Oh, and they think there's something supernatural about geniuses. That they have a sixth sense. I'm sorry, I don't feel like I have a sixth sense. And I'm not a particularly good person. And Linda Silverman, I was not put on this earth to change it and help lots and lots of people. Jesus Christ. Oh, and I'm not him either. I'm sure there are some very nice profoundly gifted 160+IQ kids out there, but it's not like, a defining characteristic. There's also some very nice retarded people, go pick on them. |
