Spent a period learning how to pick up a hat.

Today's acting class with Luke was very interesting, not exactly what I expected. We did a lot about expectations, how no matter what something is always going through our minds, even when we are told to stop thinking. We did a lot of acting more naturally, instead of worrying about become a character we should just act, because we will never truly be the character. Then Luke had us all act as we are stealing a hat from somebody or someone. When we went up at first we were way to fake and overdoing it. When I went up to try at first I wasn't even trying to steal the hat I was imaging myself sneaking a box of cookies upstairs (something I do quite often), in the middle I realized it was a hat and was trying to change the story in my mind, which made me lose it. After trial and error I think we all learned a lot today!

Watch out snuggies, you have competition.

I thought today I would never smile because of 9-11 being such a dark gloomy day for me, my family, and most of America. However I came across this commercial and just lost it.

I thought it was a joke but it is as real as it gets. Just the name of the product makes me want to buy it.

Forever Lazy? Yes please!!

My heart on a wall.

   My thought when I heard about what we were doing, I was a bit skeptical to be quite honest. I had this wall blocking me for the first ten minutes telling me "Hey you like that? Why? You're such a weirdo." I'm kinda of used to hearing that by now, but sharing it with everybody on a wall, WITH SHARPIE? I'm generally not that self conscious, I'm generally always myself but for some reason the idea struck me as well, unsettling.  But, after maybe two minutes I just kinda thought fuck that, it should never matter what others think about me.
   The thought of doing something like this seem so simple, but it is a bit more complex than that. Then the ideas just flew out! Well, not really, but you get the idea. The only thing stopping me was spelling, but actually did well as far as that goes. I personally think the best part was connecting it with the people around me, it felt good in a way, we connected as people, in the end we are not much different. It was very fun, talking about the things we like (along with cracking jokes here and there of course!) and stuff we enjoy. As much fun as it was doing it, the end product kind of bothered me in a way, it reminded my of those brainstorms I had to do before going on to an English essay. I would rather see drawings on the wall than words, but hey that might just be me.

New faces, new year.

School is back and kickin'

I am glad see you all survived through the summer, can't wait to hear more about later. Super weird seeing scared newbie faces, a little weird but, quite funny (especially the freshmen newbies, new to high school and STAC). I am excited to catch up more and get to know (and maybe even love) all the new faces.

Star Trek the Next Generation, was very cool, I've seen my mom and dad watching it but I have never actually gotten around to seeing it myself. I didn't really have bad expectations but it was better than I thought it would be! I could tell right from the start that Soran and Riker were attracted to each other and even thought it wasn't too obvious (like screaming I'm gay!) I could tell the episode was related to how our world views homosexuality. I thought it was interesting how even though it talked about homosexuality they switched it up in the way that, being with the opposite gender or not the same 'sex' (which is kinda like the genderless) was a bad thing, when to our society some people view being with the same sex is unnatural or a sin.I am personally glad they had the ending they way it was, even though it doesn't feel great to see she changed, it still lets us keep in mind that this is what our society tries to does and it sucks, if they showed a nice ending that may make people think otherwise. It shows there is a problem with society and that it won't have a nice ending if we keep acting the way we do.  Did not expect to see those messages in Star Trek.

Can't wait to see what we will do tomorrow in STAC.
