We lost our games yesterday. 2-0 and 2-1. The second game... oh sigh. We were down 2-0 in the top of the 7th. We scored one. I was on third and we had another runner on second with one out. The batter hit a fly ball to deep center. I tagged to go home, slid in... was safe... was called out. End of game, 2-1. Should have been 2-2 with 2 outs. I laid in the dirt for a few seconds... i couldn't see anything. The dirt was really loose and it was just a big dust storm and I heard the ump call me out. I hit the ground with my hand and said something like "dammit! i was SAFE!" looked up, saw the other team running off the field, got up and went off the field, threw my batting gloves on the ground, and went back out and said good game to all of the other team. If we had played perfectly it would have just been a matter of... wow that sucked... BAD call by the ump that lost the game for us. But, for me I know I could have done better. I made a couple of errors, that shouldn't have been made. I could have stolen some hits from the other team if I had caught some line drives, and... it just is disappointing. We have 5 more league games. They are VERY important games, and I *think* we still have a chance for first place if we win all 5. We have tomorrow off.
Was taking a break from homework... time to go back. Waiting for a phone call.

Shnippes... I keep thinking in class and things, oooh I need to update! and then I forget. I'm tired so I won't write a lot. I can't believe there's only a week and a half of softball left. And only like shoot, 4 or 5 weeks of school left?!?! YIKES!!!
anyways, I saw Reefer Madness tonight with Shanie. I really liked it. Liked the songs they added and how they re-worked it. Have to say I was glad I was wearing black. :) Saw Sid and Paul too. I miss them and everyone. It was good to see them! Dropped Shanie off and decided since I didn't have anything due tomorrow for school to drive over to get my late after-theatre constitution of In-and-Out (and Brita...) :). Drove past the Fonda on the way home. Just to... I dunno. Just because I wanted to. The alley was so... empty. The wall on the corner, where that sliding door thing used to be, that I was ALWAYS amazed closed... well... it's all gone. I don't deal with change well. It was a fun, interesting, yeah... night. I'm off to bed. I don't think this was very coherent. We play whittier tomorrow and la verne sat! hugs, me :)

We lost both against La Verne today. Sigh... We need to bring it back for next weekend. We only have 4 practices and 4 games left!
When I went to Reefer Madness on Thursday I bought the CD and have been listening to it since then. I really like it. It cracks me up... and it has a lot of different kinds of music which is cool.

Romeo and Juliet

We are just like Romeo and Juliet
We're happy, young, and bubbling with love
I can't wait to read the ending...
but I'm sure it turns out real swell
I bet Romeo marries his Juliet
They have a baby
And make lots of friends
that's prob'ly the way the play ends.

lovin' that!

After two very successful years, the New York, Off-Broadway production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch closed last night, Sunday, April 9th, 2000.

On the Hedboard I wrote this:

I've wanted to post something but didn't know what exactly. After reading Mikey's message about saying Goodbye, and a LONG conversation I had last night I knew EXACTLY what to write.

After Hedwig closed in LA... it was very hard. I knew deep down that I would never see her on stage again. I was a wreck throughout the show. And I was so sad that I had to walk away from that show. A show that meant so much to me, and there were only two others who "got it" with me. That was hard.

But it was not the end. In all her glory she managed to continue to bring people together, the mini-freaks to the quintessential freaks. Another Hedwig LAer (kinda) who "got it" and I found each other, and since then... well let's say... i'm tired cause I ended staying up till 3:45 last night talking to her, and this was not a first time either.

Hedwig does amazing things, and she will continue to do so. Closings are VERY VERY hard. They're sad. But it is in NO WAY OVER! She will continue to facilitate us to meet online, in person, or silently singing a song on the road in the middle of the night...

She will always be with us, who know her and love her!

BIG GIANT BEAR HUGS and thanks,
la girl (my name on the hedboard)

She will be missed, but never, ever forgotten.

Thank you,
all of you,
you know who you are.

I am SO tired so this will be a short entry. We beat Cal Lu in softball today. I'm psyched about that. It was a GREAT game for the team, and a GREAT game personally! It is very seldom that those two match up, so it was a WONDERFUL way to end the season!
I saw The People vs. Mona tonight. It was a fun show. Maisey was in it and it was really great to see her again. I miss seeing the TLS people. The show and everything involved had such an impact on my life, and I feel like it's gotten so far away now. But so it goes I guess. People come and go, memories are forever. I'm getting all philosophical. That means it's time for bed!
Going to Godspell again tomorrow. Taking a "group" from school, ok ok so my group only ended up being one person, but we'll have fun anyways, and it's a GREAT excuse to see an AMAZING show again!

Just got back from Godspell. That show, and specifically that production of that show is ABSOLUTELY TREMENDOUS. The entire cast is SO amazingly skilled and SWEET!!!! I would be SO excited if that show moved on and kept playing somewhere else. And I LOVE the knightsbridge theatre. It's a 99 seat theatre, with cheaper tickets than other theatres, and WONDERFUL performances!!
I could talk forever about the show, but I have decided to be good and start my homework. Till next time.

Professors are funny. Or rather maybe odd. Today in class, I finally made it on time to class! YAYAYAY!!! I didn't think I was so tired, but apparently I was. Listening to lectures fifteen minutes after waking up is HIGHLY ill-advised. The prof's hands became very distracting. She has anxious hands you see. She had her elbows in and then would move her hand back and then every once in a while her elbows would go out and back in. It oddly reminded me of a feather-less chicken trying to fly.
Prof. #2 He chews gum (or something??!?! YIKES) when he lectures. Didn't anyone ever tell him he shouldn't chew gum during lectures. And he licks his lips. Which I find very disturbing. Then he lectures to a point on the back wall about 4-6 inches over your head. Now I know I'm short and all, but most people just divert their gaze downward. hmmm...
Prof. #3 Random analogies. (see quotes page -when I put it back up!) There are many other quirks... none for here now tho.
Prof. #4 I don't have a lot for her at the moment. She says ok a lot.
Now don't get me wrong. Everyone has their quirks. It's all good. I'm so glad I'm not a prof... although I may be a teacher some day. In which case this will all come back to haunt me. Kids can be SO cruel. Sigh... heh
I could write all day, but homework awaits. I have SO definitely hit that point where I'm looking at all the things I have to get done. And am suddenly realizing that it all has to get done in the next three and a half weeks. Oh man, someone help. That said. I go do work now!
oh and you'll be happy to know I'm planning on going to class tomorrow! :) bye-eeeeeee

It goes on and on and on. He's like the energizer bunny, except without the drum, without the pink, and he's not cute. He has bug eyes; they're a little scary.
I look at the clock. It's sideways again. Last time is was upside down. now the three's on the top and the six is underneath. The seconds try to tick by, but they're stuck. YOu can see time try to pass in the quivers and jolts of the thinning arm, but to no avail. Time is stuck.
If time actually stopped could people keep talking? moving?
Sunday mornings, before church, we watch Charles in Charge and Out of this World. How many times have I touched my fingers together hoping to stop time? Maybe someone really does have this power. How would we ever know?
oooh... trippy -- brain candy (I like that phrase! :) )

I have a paper due Monday, Thursday and Friday of next week. I know it'll get done. It always does.

When the earth was still flat
and the clouds made of fire
and the mountains stretched up to the sky... sometimes higher

And the children of the moon looked like a fork stuck on a spoon
they was part sun, part moon, part daughter, part son.

Last time I saw you we'd just split in two.
You was looking at me,
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar but I could not recognize
Cause you had blood on your face,
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
that the pain down in your soul
was the same as the one down in mine
yeah that's the pain,
that cuts a straight line down through my heart
we call it love
so we wrapped our arms around each other
tried to shove ourselves back together
we was making love
making love
it was a cold dark evening such a long time ago
when by the mighty hand of jove
it was a sad story how we became lonely two-legged creatures
the story of the origin of love
that's the origin of love
oh yeah
the origin of love
the origin of love
the origin of love.
