Dear people who have graduated from Bowie already,
DO NOT go watch the year in review video on youtube. It will only hurt your heart.
Love, Girl who is now very homesick. |

I just spent thirty minutes watching this random group of students argue with this crazy religious bible wielding man in the middle of campus. On my way home to my dorm I saw a crowd of students and went to go check out what they were looking at. He just yelled a lot about how we are all sexual sinners and going to hell. And he talked about how we need to stop accepting the "queers" and "faggots" at our school. I think people like that are just SO SAD. Im feel so bad that they have somehow gotten so confused and out of touch with reality that they actually think all of their nonsense is real;that they actually think that the whole world is under the control of anything but the people who live in it. He was so hateful and so self-riteous and so YUCK. I just pity crazy people. |

Things I know about college thus far:
It is neat.
Frat parties really are as dumb as they look in the movies
It is a really long walk to get across campus
The cafeteria is amazing
But will make you fat
I bought a pass to take group workout classes and one of them is hiphop
My acting class required 17 books
Most of them are plays
It's a fabulous night when your homework consists of reading a play and a book about Stanislavski
It is really hard to keep in touch with people who are not at your college
I love the girls who live with my sister
Sometimes you just dont make callbacks
Also, sometimes you faint during the first day of acting class
It is really weird to go days without talking to any boys
But it happens
Your roomate doesnt have to be your enemy
The cops will give you a ticket if you have beer in your hand
No, it wasnt me |

Well, this is my last night in Austin. I just wanted to say goodbye. To everyone who came to my show, you have no idea how much I appreciate your support. It really means a lot. To the 2006 senior directors, you have such an amazing time ahead of you, I cannot wait to see what beautiful creations will emerge from your minds. Everyone else at Bowie, I really hope you enjoy the year ahead of you. I will miss you all so much. I love you. Bye. |

I'M A FUCKING ZACH SCOTT INTERN!!!!!!!!!!
Interns participate in all aspects of production, performing a variety of duties such as setting up and running auditions, operating sound & light boards, assisting with prop, set and costume construction and organization, performing dramaturgical research, and assisting the stage manager. (Some assignments may be based on prior experience or skill level.) Members observe the rehearsal process and work with professional actors and directors on equity theatre productions. ZACH offers its interns specialty workshops with visiting and local artists, covering a variety of topics, such as stage combat, basic costume construction, voice, movement, stage management, musical scene study, audition skills and résumé building. The program culminates in a final showcase highlighting your talents, to be shared with local theatre professionals.
Heck yes! I auditioned. They picked me. Even though I had to sing. They still picked me. Im so excited.

OKAY. So I got my letter from NYU tonight. And guys, let's be honest, I never really expected to get in. Only one out of every ten make it. But of course it still hurts. Going to NYU is all I've ever wanted and I just wish my audition had gone like I had planned (AND LIKE IT FREAKIN SAID IT WOULD GO ON THE WEBSITE) but whatever. It's just, the school and the location and the faculty and everything were so perfect. It really was too good to be true. I hate things that you expect but they make you cry anyways. NYU is the only school not to accept me and I applied to like nine. So instead of dwelling on this I would like to list my other college accomplishments.
UT---got in (forgot to apply for scholarships)
OCU---$8,000 per year academic scholarship, $2,500 acting scholarship
Cameron---$3,000 per year acting scholarship
OU---$2,500 per year academic scholarship
College of Santa Fe---$13,000 per year combined academic and acting scholarship
They are all for four years and I am damn proud. Even if I'm not good enough for NYU these other schools obviously think I'm worth some money. So there. |

Senior skip day was basically the most fun I've ever had. Seriously. On the drive home I was all wet, I had the windows down, Summer music blaring, a snobeach in my hand and i honestly thought I could have died. And been happy. I love Celina so much and everyone elso who I really appreciate and never get to spend time with. I think we dont give enough credit to how cool our class of '06 is. Kite flying. Wading. Sun bathing. Kayaking. Canoeing. Running. Playing.Even though my back is super hardcore suburned it was so worth it. |

SO there is this daddy bullfrog and this kid frog and the kid frog is sitting on this lily pad and he is like HEY DAD HEY DAD! Today i was down on the bank and i saw this giant elephant. and his dad was like "Elephants arent thaaaaat big." and the son says no father, this was the biggest and most grand elephant i have ever seen. and the father said well was he this big and he puffed himself up. and the child said bigger. so the father puffed himself up some more and said this big? and the son said no even bigger! so the father puffed himself up again. and the son replied even bigger yet. so the father puffed himself up one last time. and he exploded.

Alright Stace, despite the fact that you deleted the entry about it, I think you should just know this so you dont continue to have the wrong idea. It should clarify things for the rest of you too.
Idiopathic Craniofacial Erythema is a medical condition characterised by severe, uncontrollable, and frequently unprovoked, facial blushing.
Blushing can occur at any time and is frequently triggered by even mundane events, such as, talking to friends, paying for goods in a shop or asking for directions. The redness can take several minutes to dissipate leaving the sufferer feeling exposed and embarrassed.
So. You aren't special. The fact that a confrontation with you makes me blush doesnt mean anything. I blush more when I get a receipt handed to me in the grocery store. ITS A DISORDER IN MY BODY. The blushing is typically unprovoked, as in it doesnt mean that I feel anything. I didnt think I had to tell any of yall this, because who the hell cares what color my face is? But apparently people are reading too much into it.
So there you go.

There is nothing as satisfying as spending the night with a group of friends who just get you. You know? You dont have to worry about being judged. You dont have to sensor yourself. It is just so liberating. Feeling comfortable enough to just be, say, or do whatever the hell you feel like is just the best feeling.
Sometimes you just have to yell FUCK YOU (insert name of person who pisses you off)over and over again until you feel better. It really does help.
We are such planners though. Like who analyzes options for riding the Crazy Train?
Weird fact: I know that I went to IHOP last night but I can only vaguely remember it. I was completely sober, but I think its because it was five o-clock and we hadnt gone to sleep yet. |

GIRLS FROM THE WOMEN:
Toxic is currently playing on the radio! I dont think i have heard this song practically since that show ended. I dont want a new UIL to start. I want ours back. Best time ever. I miss dancing to Toxic with all of you so much. That can never be recreated. |

You can all hate me and think I'm completely ridiculous. But i loved TETA. I just saw it as this huge opportunity. So much to learn. So many people to meet. So much work. So much helping. So much fun.
Double session of slam poetry today. Changed. My. Life. I have four new heroes.
Being constantly busy like that for 16 hours a day is really so much fun. I think it's different because we didnt have school work. Being constantly busy like that is perfect for me when you get to go home and just sleep because you have nothing to do, no school work.

My life is wonderful because of Kim Watson.
Today I was in Randalls buying some milk for my lonely fridge. So i walked up to the clear glass door got the milk turned around and tripped over the little kid who was running behind me. He shouted, "Hey you jerk!" and then squirted his squirt gun right in my red face. (you all know how i turn red)As I sat there looking around i grabbed the edge of a stand of chips to help me get up and...spilled most of the Original Lays onto the floor. I casually look around to see if anyone was watching and of course with my luck a boy was just smiling at me over by the juices. He was cute with dark brown hair and blue eyes just smiling and oddly leaning on the wall by the juices. It was kind of like a weird teen movie. Anyway. So this boy comes up to the chips and offers to help pick them up. YES. so he does and so do i. Get this though...he says "My name is Luke." (as hes putting the chips in place on the rack)"whats yours?" "oh um Ashley." So we start talking and he asks me to sit down with him at the Randalls Cafe. (once again like a teen movie huh?) I told him no. And he just laughed and said "come on...i picked up your chips...and i wont tell anyone about the little kid mishap." so i told him i didnt have much time but i'll go for a little bit. SOOOO we sit down and start talking. This is where is gets really weird....He first asked me if i went to UT and i said no no i dont. and he said oh thats cool so your out of college? and i laughed because honestly i look like im 13...no im still in high school i told him. He leaned back in his chair and said with a smile on his face well im 22 but its not illegal. And i looked at him like he was crazy and said yes i believe its illegal...and he said not if you consent .so i turn to get up because hes giving me the willies and he grabs my arm and swings me around towards him but right before i get real close to him i see KIM walk up and i can tell by the look in her face that she has instantly assesed the situation. And before he can let go she punched him right in his nose. BLOOD i kid you not. BLOOD. dont mess with Kim shes something...something good. good.
We both ran outside afterwards. And went our seperate ways as if it was an everyday thing.
Can you believe that? It didn't seem real...
Thanks Kim! |

Seeing people I havent seen forever is always so weird to me. Like you know that you missed out on a whole bunch of stuff that had you been together you would have talked about, but now that the moment has passed it doesnt seem important at all. Like after two and half weeks of seperation nothing really worthy of mentioning when people ask "how was your break" has occured. But had those weeks passed while still talking to one's friends each day you would have found plenty of events worth discussing. This makes me think that everthing we freak out about really is just, so trivial. I just want to be in college so bad and I dont know why on earth I am freaking out about it so much. I will be happy wherever I go. I have unbelievable adjusting skills.
I got my report card today and my GPA went from a 3.988 to a 4.0351. Perhaps this is enough to let me pass the three people keeping me out of the top ten percent. Im not even going to school in Texas, I just want to know that, had I the urge, I would be allowed.
I got a paycheck for 185 dollars today from Red Robin for two weeks in November. I quit in September. I wonder whose money I have. I hope I dont have to give it back. I could buy a lot of Jujubes with that dough.
Ive been searching for a one-act continuously for like a month now, and I still dont have one I want to do. Why is it so hard to find a really good play? Why?
Now that I own this CD. I can officially say that he is indeed God. |
