No Wit At This Time

I haven't posted in a while, so I am going to try and give an update on what I've been doing with my days.

Since my last post, I've performed my scene for Ken a few more times. I feel good that he said that it's improved a lot...That motivates me to work harder, because I feel like I'm going in the right direction with it now. Remember guys: This is our acting audition for the musical, and for our Chekov plays.

This weekend was pretty decent. Saturday night, Rene and I went to my friend Rebecca's birthday dinner before parting to do different things: He was going to the bar with some of his friends, and I was going to a party at my friend Nicole's. Well, at Nicole's it wasn't as hot as the last one she had, and I hadn't been to the bar in a while. I called Rene up, and told him that I'd meet up with him in about fourty-five minutes...Around one-thirty a.m. I should mention that I did ask him if I was intruding, and he dismissed my insecurity readily.

Once I got to The Roost, I started feeling pretty good about it, and met up with Rene and his girlfriends right away. I also ran into a third-year theatre arts student, Kevin, there as well.

So! It was packed on the dance floor, but we managed to squeeze into a corner and start grooving to the beats. I was surprised that (if you know the Roost) they weren't playing the same-old eighties music downstiars for once. Anyway, I felt really good that I was grooving it up, and I realized that I've gotten a lot better at moving my body since I started my theatre arts program this year.

But what gay bar would be complete without a dash of relationship drama? Obviously not this one; at least not tonight. While dancing, my friends spotted my ex looming among the crowds behind me. Yep. I caught him gesturing toward me to some guy he was with at one point, but made a point not to notice him. I also ran into some other good acquaintances of mine while at the bar, which was great to have happen.

After the bar, Rene, his friend Pam and I all went back to Rene's apartment for drinks. Interestingly enough, Rene is from El Salvador and Pam is from Guatemala. Sufficed to say, I was treated to a whole other side of Rene that I had never seen. They were having whole conversations in Spanish! To quell the thought that I might have felt left out, I will have to say that I think it's really awesome to be exposed to his cultural background. It makes me feel closer to him. But that's enough about that.

Today I went to see The Grudge at W.E.M. and I just have to say that I have never been as frightened by any other movie as I have been by this one. Many may disagree with me, but there was something about this movie that was unconventionally frightening. Don't be misled by my recommendation for fright: The dialogue for characters was cheezy at best, and the storyline was lean.

All-in-all, lots of events this past weekend...And lots of work to be done in this coming week ahead of me. Good luck, hopefully everything works out great.
