More or less living anyway. So every time I update it should be a national holiday. Today it is: National Pie Day. (True Fact) I strongly encourage everyone in the eating of said pies with celebratory enthusiasam. At any rate not a whole lot is going on on my end. Phoenixbrght said I should start posting again to get me in the writing frame of mind again. So here I am. :does dance:

At any rate I have been massively out of touch from almost all friends from WAC so here's a cry out for love and attention and cheese! Ahem. Sorry about that this is really just for rambling updating purposes. Feel free to ignore demand for love and attention but I need that cheese!

Dracula ended and I have been recruited for yet ANOTHER classicaly odd Heather role Edward II (not the one killed in the nasty way) in "Mystery Play". Yep you heard me; I am playing half of a schizophrenic bisexual man. I feel honoured. My mother is also in this oneas the main character. She's been complaining for ages that no one ever gives her a chance when it comes to acting and now she's got one. And she's gone STARK RAVING MAD with it. She's always talking about it trying to master her inner character driving the director nuts by constant theories....it's a bit embarassing. Also I worry it may ruin her chances for future oppurtunities but...ah well. At least I spend half of the play talking to myself. At least half.

I just got back from a beautiful week in Florida with my boyfriends family where I went to Disney World, Epcot, MGM, Animal Kingdom, Pleasure Island, Disney Quest and the bathroom. A lot. You see we opted to take the 14 hour car drive and not stop for the night. We left at 9PM Friday and arrived around 12 PM Saturday and me being me I did not sleep for the duration. Naturally I was not a happy or bladder friendly camper. Once we got there though, life was brilliant. My favorite part was definitely the Animal Kingdom's safari. My quota for adorable fuzzy and not fuzzy animals was met. Pictures will be forthcoming.

The job front is currently non-promising and crappy. I'm working at Ledos again for quick cash but there's no making a living there. So wish me luck, send me advice, jobs and all that...in addition to the massive quantites of cheese. Hope to hear from you!

OH GOD AN UPDATE! (ahem, will wonders never cease)

So I graduated college, spent the summer in semi-fruitless job hunting and obscene leisure and theatrical pursuits and somehow managed to update about any of it. I am a bad girl. I'd spank myself but somehow I think it would be excessive and somewhat tasteless so I'll refrain with a certain amount of effort.

I'm not sure what has prompted me to crawl out of my hiatus, kicking and screaming...maybe its that all the WAC-ites are back at college and I'm feeling disconnected...despite the deluge of Writers Union and Middle emails I get every day. Yay Molly for English, I was rooting for you with my non-existant alum vote. I talked to Joe and he said I can sneak on the Renn Fest trip which is a wonderful way to go for free with marvelous people. Also, I'm planning on visiting this weekend! Sept. 10, will see me attempting a shuttle ride down to scenic Chestertown for purely Geeky purposes. (Capital G which rhymes with V and stands for Vampires) I'm still not entirely sure how thats going to work...but hey thats part of the fun.

I've spent most of the summer in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, at the Greenbelt Arts Center, playing a 12-16 year old girl with a number of fifteen year olds as the other girls. I felt old. I know 22 isn't ancient by any stretch but these girls were in high school! One of them even went to my old one and has teachers I had..one I've even TAd for...No one realized I was six -seven years older then they were...I had one lady comment that she thought I was 14. Acting..it's all acting...ouch, my sense of dignity. This wouldn't have been quite as bad if my part didn't feature a semi-nude scene. Nice to know I look 14 in my bra and undies, I'm sure my boyfriend loves that thought. (yes Dave, semi-naked Heather and you MISSED IT! MWHAHAHA...ahem)

The play was excellent, though and from it I got the request to be in yet another play whose lead actress had been forced to quit so now I'm going to be appearing as Lucy in Dracula at Prince Georges Little Theater. While I don't get to pose for nude paintings I do get to float around looking anemic and trying to bite people...it's like college all over again...

I contemplated saying something terribly profound like, "Gee this directng thing sure is stressful," but it doesn't seem productive. I do however want to go stark raving mad and go screaming into the night at the nearest possibly interval. Show=going well. eople continue to impress me. Some personal relations and my sanity=going to hell.

Apparently according to some peole the morning work call that we go to is too much effort and energy. And they'll go but bitch the whole way through. Because THAT'S helplful. Maybe I wouldn't be so snesitive if I didn't feel like you could pluck me like a guitar string and hit an A flat.

Maybe given the workcall in question I should be giving an A platform. Ha Ha Ha. I crack myself up.

This has been a vent brought to you by the remains of Heather's brain. Thank you and goodnight.

So yeah, Chenoa told me that if my livejournal was a chia pet it would have died, cause I never feed it. Its true. This is indeed going to be a rant, though ironically one having nothing whatsoever to do with Valentines Day! Yay for chocolate and bitter bitter people. Warning, warning: Rant Alert. Turn back!

This actually is coming from the Writers Theater meeting, which is weird cause normally it makes me happy and stuff, but today the scenes just rubbed me the wrong way. First of all out of nine characters in the first act seven of them were male. Our group, it may be added is almost entirely female, and I'm surprised since I'm not even sure we even have seven guys total in the entire group. To add salt in the wound our theme is "historical figures." Get the drift? Apparently we can't come up with enough "historical" women to balance the men. Great.

Of our original list of maybe a hundred different characters there were maybe thirty women, which is at least ok. To which we narrowed the list down to about..oh the ones of which I can remember...five. Of the ones remaining we have: Joan of Arc, The Woman Who Invented the Wheel, Catherine the Great, Marie Antoinette, Cleopara and Helen of Troy. Alright...as far as it goes to casting the thirteen or so female actors in the group.

In the first batch of scenes that arrived today, there were our lovely two women. Joan of Arc and Wheel Woman. They had the potential to be smart, funny women, or at least one of them and they both ended up being very bad female stereotypes. I stand corrected: one is an airheaded and the other is a cavewoman who speaks entirely in grunts. (well she becomes articulate, but then they decided they were going to change it back to grunt land. though recently have been informed that articulation stays. yay! figure out THAT sentence) Each one of these would have been ok on their own, with other alternatives, but thats it so far. And we're only getting three new characters period.

And I can see how the rest of the gals will go. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy: Slutty. Marie Antoinette: Stupid. Apparently Catherine the Great is the one hope of feminism. If she even gets chosen.

BLECK.

And this is my last year, and I really want to be in the sow, and preferably a girl, but I'm not exactly liking my options. Ouch my feminist movement!

I LIVE!

I know. The last journal entry would have you believe I ran off and killed myself and was never heard from again, but it lies! My internet was simply eaten+laziness. Resuly...no entries. I've been a naughty naughty girl. Also sadly large reason behind this post is showing off pretty new icons. I've gotten better! And...love is donuts. Seriously, get me a donut and I'll love you.

Other then that I've been massively busy with thesis stuff. Mack-y B is underway and so far so good. We have an awesome cast that is already part of the way there, I just need to tweak them in the right direction. MY direction. Mwhaha. I am evil. Evil. Feed me donuts.

In other news recently returned from Dreamnation which was such a high level of awesome there are now words so I won't say anything. Except maybe highlghts:

*Vampire Minion to Vampire Queen in one easy step: survive.

*Explosives made outof sprite bottles and plastic cups kick ass, becuase they are confusing.

*If you boob it they will come.

And thats all your getting for oh say...anotherthree months. ^_^

Mood Swing: chipper

I'm all cut up inside. It hurts so much, and I know nothing has been decided that I've fought for so long....is it ok to want to stop having to fight for something? And let someone else save you?

I am UPDATING! Good lord the suspense, the enthusiasam...the just plain laziness returns to a livejornal near you. So yeah...its been like half a year since my previous entry. Shhh, thats not important. The important thing is I have icons. Yes. But seriously other then that not much has really been left out of the thrilling life story de Heather.

That which was may be dealt with in short shrift.

Insert Summer Vacation Here
Follow vacation with waitressing job
Follow waitressing job with returning to school
Insert Theatricalness

And there you have it folks!

I guess a part of the problem is that I tend to only really want to write in my journal when I'm really upset and unhappy but then I realized...wait not only will this make people who read my journal think I'm chronically depressive and possibly insane, but it's better to ride the unhappiness out without making a whole production of it anyway. Hence...extreame lack of updating. But, I am not unhappy right now....:waves flags: and am simply procrastinating between classes. Three cheers for procrastination and the American way.

On a side note; Jason's show is driving me stark raving bonkers. Just thought I'd like to share and demand cookies and love.
