I went to see Everybody's Famous tonight. It was good,.. it exposes how the media/society perpetuate the ideal images that value outter beauty over inner beauty, and in this case, superficial over talent in the music industry (or any other media for that matter). ,.. blah blah,.. it was touching,esp. cause the 'ugly' duckling character wasn't an actress who fit into the societal/media mold of beautiful. She was 'plump.' They didn't change her at the end to be 'accepted,' she just was, because of her inner self,.. her inner beauty and talent (not that she was THAT visually lacking, but just not the 'common' ideal). Now go make an American Version of it with a beautiful thin (adjectives, adjectives)popular star, and give them a pair of glasses and a ponytail to disguise as an ugly duckling. Yes, that's how Americans would do it. Look at 'She's All That',.... yeah,. it wasa an amazing transformation at the end,.. gee, she was SOOO fat and ugly before!!! NOT.

Ok,.. if you read my last entry, you'd know my plans for the weekend. John's over here now. Now waiting to see if I'm gonna go to see Panic Room, or go to Providence.

I'm eating a peach now,.. and have email to do. Peeps keep callin me,.. hold on,........ arghhhh, ok I gotta go. I bought the Inc. Hulk #38, and $100 worth of liquor for Blaze,.. it was sooooo heavy.

Um, yeah, oh, Addendum to Montreal Synopsis #4 for those who know me WELL!!!!!!! Ask and I shall tell.

THE BEGINNING?

Hey all I know I haven't done a journal update in ages and so much has happened since like the Queer People of Color confrenxe I went to at Yale, ECASU in North Carolina (some Asian Confrence), and now,.. my Montreal trip for Spring Break. SO much has been goin on,.. don't know where to begin. I drank more than I ever had in Montreal, but not so much I was wasted mind you. It was fun,.. but I wish certain other people were there to enjoy it with me.

Ths semester has been different,.. as has every semester,.. cool,.. but this one, was one with particularily lots more inner-searching?? Anyhow,.. you've probably met Sharmeen already, and she's had a lot to do with it. It's amazing how people come into your lives. I had told her I was afraid I'd say or do something(s) she wouldn't approve of and that those things may affect our friendship,.. well, I was right in that I have said or done certain questionable things,.. but hopefully having understood eachother so far,.. it will curb what I predicted (which is why I told her,....). I care, and friendships take care. Sometimes I suck.

You mean a lot to me,.. yeah YOU,.. well, not you so much, yes, but not the same as YOU ofcourse. You know what I mean. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE,.. ha hah ha (this is an echoing of what Ant. had said).

Anyhow,.. shite,.. you know, I had this take home midterm before break. 3 essays,.. and I didnt' start it until an hour before it was due. I was just going to blow it off, cause I was working on something else that I'd been spending hours and hours on overnight ofcoarse,.. anyhow,... I had finished the 3 essays in 2 hours,.. the fastest bullshite ever, esp. since i NEVER read the material it was on and was an hour late to class,.. well, shite, I just got it back today. A bunch of my friends got Ds, Cs,... and I got a Friggin A!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe????

Also, in my math class,. we had a midterm today... the last exam I got a 2. yeah,.. a 2 out of 100!! I failed,.. so I studied all night till 6AM this morning,..and took the exam,.. I think I did ok. Whatever.

For some reason, this semester I've also recommitted myself to my job,. as a RA,.. I've been doing so much,.. programs here and there,.. bulletin boards,. just tons of extra work,......(instead of studying of coarse,.. ha ha),.. no really,..

But I really need to find a balance,.. I never get enough sleep, it's killin me,.. oh and I had my Summer Auditions,... for the summer productions,.. I totally bombed those,.. I was an embarrassment to the department. Anyhow since I'm not in any summer productions, and I dont' think I have any more classes I can take in the summer,.. I really don't have to stay here as a RA over the summer,.. but then again I haven't made any plans,.. I wanted a productive summer, either in the West Coast taking an acting class and auditioning,. or interning somewhere there or in NYC,.. for Film/TV or comics,.. but like i said, I havn't done jack about it yet. SOOOOOOOOOOOO,.. I may just stay as a RA here,......... and do nothing for the summer???? maybe??? like a rest??? I don't know.

This is tooo much to read, isnt' it. No one really reads email this long unless they are really interested or it's a personal email,.... I know I dont',.. he he,.....

Shite,..... I wanna see Panic Room ,.... shite alotta other movies in fact. Oh, you know what else is strange this semester,..... I'm buying comics again! and I force myself to stay up later at night to read one or two,.. lol.

Oh, and my friggin TV doesn't work!!!!!!! Arrrrghhhhhh!!!

Lest see, what else can I say to waste your time. You know, no one EVER replies to my emails (except Ronnie sometimes) or even USES my listserve! What's up with people,.... nothing,... maybe it's me,.. ah ha.

I questions if anyone even gets this. Then again, why would people care. Oh, I gotta give special props to NICK,.. my friend down in Jersey. I gotta thank you for keeping in touch,.. like NO OTHER friend I know has or would (in given circumstances)! Thank You!

Random shite: I still need a haircut!!! Oh, I still have plans for X-Mas gifts and B-Day gifts for those of you who's still expecting somethign from me. I haven't forgotten. I'm really embracing my, my affliction, or something,.. or trying to atleast. My Affliction,.. I am a slave to it. X-Tina is comming folks. Oh, there are a mess of movies showing at Cinestudio I wanna watch!!!!!!! Ok I'll shut up now till next time.....
