Chewing Gum & Graphite.

and consisted of:

1. Going to Brooklyn with Ty and Alexis, buying a pair of really cool shoes for nine dollars.

2. A New Studio actors party, at which I shared a bottle of wine with my friend Ben and had a generally good time.

3. Seeing A Bright Room Called Day at Tisch, another congratulatory pumpkin.

4. Alexis and I unintentionally having a party. There were like, fifteen people in our room. And it was strange and slightly overwhelming. But we did watch Halloweentown, which was pretty great.

5. Ty’s film shoot, at which Alexis, Connor, Spencer, and I bonded because we all had to sit in our underwear in the freezing Goddard classroom and then wrap ourselves in blankets and chase Thomas (who was wearing a bright red onesie) through Washington Square Park. ARRRRT!

6. Broome’s Murder Mystery dinner. My team absolutely dominated and won movie tickets. Honda was randomly chosen beforehand to be the murderer. Coincidence or prophecy?

On Thursday, I went to Brighton Beach to be in a student film. We found a dead cat and I had to prod it with an umbrella. ARRRRT!

On Friday, Adam bought a cassette tape deck, Ty showed us her short film that Alexis and I were in, and I went to a weird party in a tiny apartment on Thompson. 

On Saturday, a few of us saw Trojan Women at Atlantic. I had mixed feelings about it. Then there was the Broome talent show with free pizza and then Hannah’s party, which was nine-year-old themed and a lot of fun.

Today my dad visited and we went to Lombardi’s at a weird time so we didn’t have to wait and then walked all the way to the High Line, walked the whole High Line, and then walked to Penn Station to take the subway back here.

It was a good weekend, but I have a midterm on Tuesday that I haven’t really studied for. I will tomorrow. I will study so much tomorrow.

PAAAARRRRTTTYYY!

And what I mean by that is “revel in having the house to myself, sing a lot, mess around with my dad’s guitar, read out loud, be overly weird and ridiculous without fearing that someone will notice, etc.”

Sometimes being alone is seriously the best thing.

Friday I saw Hair in New York with my mom. The show was awesome, awesome, awesome, but my mom and I don’t work too well when we go places together. For graduation presents, she got us tickets for Next Fall, A Little Night Music (I’M GOING TO SEE BERNADETTE PETERS IN REAL LIFE AND I THINK I WILL FAINT), and Promises, Promises. I AM SO EXCITED. 

Yesterday, I saw Sunday in the Park with George for the third time. It was so beautiful. It got better each time I saw it and Jeffrey Coon has my heart. We were in the second row (!) so it was a lot easier to notice details, which was nice. Since I had paid most attention to the people who were the focus of the scenes the other two times I saw the show, this time I tried to pay a lot of attention to people who were on stage but not the focus to see what small things they did to stay in character and whatnot. It was really interesting.

GOD, I LOVE THEATRE.

Annnnd segue: Sara Patterson had a graduation party today and it was wonderful, even though it was like, four thousand degrees out. I love my Masterman friends. LOVE. I just wish I had brought my bathing suit so I could have participated in the whirlpool-making, among other things.
