Opening Night

Is tonight. I am very nervous but the faster this gets done the faster I can get everything else in my life done.

Yeah I haven't been doing well in my tests. My speech ( the midterm) , theatre appreciation( the first test) , and my math class( text number 2). Were all really bad grades(speech not sure but I am willing to place a bet on that).

So I hope to get study time in for things..I need to get my act together.

On the other hand, This is only the beginning of destruction.

I don't know what I will do. I need someone to help me out. Well Slushie does, but he is like. Don't let the bitch bother you. and I am like I wish I had the force so I can turn sith choke her to death and then go back to being a good jedi.

Cannot wait till my birthday

Okay, I wrote the short story in my deviant account.


But let me tell you, I have been wanting a camera for a very long time. Some of those that know me may be wondering, 'A camera? you have one, and you got your iphone 3gs. what else do you need or want?'

I may not need, but I do want and have been wanting since I have been in high school. A professional camera.
It's very costly, but I love it.


I had a choice between a canon, renowned for it's cameras, at a price for $899+. OR . A fujifilm fine pix HS10, that didn't look good in the article, at a price for $300-500+ .


I picked the fujifilm. At first to be perfectly honest, I wanted to get the canon because the article made it look good and I know that canon is a good company and brand.

BUT when I went to fujifilm's website because my brother told me fujifilm is good too. I SAW that the article gave it no justice. The specs were listed, but when you are talking to someone who is not affluent in photographer jargon. It gets confusing for someone who is not in the art of taking pictures.

I know I will talk to Selene to see if I can take pictures of her, because she is really beautiful. Of course she must dress up :)
And then of course, Slushie and I. (although he is self conscious and says that he is fat he will take pictures with me anyways).

However, my main thing I will do is to take Night shots for my dad. He loves those kinds of pictures You know the slow shutter speed kind where the lights of cars a blurs. It's amazing. I really want to do that for him. I might have to get a tripod for that. Maybe.


All that I know is that I badly want one. Why? because I have wanted one for so long that I really am getting impatient (although I still have patience) and anxious to have that camera in my hands. Hopefully by my birthday the price might get cheaper if not.. it is still a hell of a lot cheaper than the canon.

I want the world.

Drama Behind the Curtains.

Okay, I believe that I am a reasonably kind person and although I treat people with respect. There is only so much respect that I can give to those who believe that they deserve it when they don't give it. I am just talking about my job as stage manager. I believe I do a great job. I am sweet, kind and caring. I do my job, my actors do theirs.


One actor thought that they should also do my job.

Part of my job description is take line notes, write down blocking and make sure to do the rehearsal report and turn it in.
That actor thought they should take line notes. . . For me.

Let me tell you, this actor has a personal vendetta against me because I already chose the gift for the director(a tradition and the stage manager's duty). Now, forget what I got. Just they wanted to be in the know.
I do not have cliques nor am I in any cliques. The Gift was chosen because I was there and so was my asm and another one of my actors.

I don't care for drama even though I am involved in Theatre. You may think, how is this possible?

I love theatre.

I JUST HATE DRAMATIC PEOPLE!

Look if an Actor goes diva, it is often another person's job to bring them down to earth.

A stage manager is the second in command. (director is first) then comes asm and then the crew and then the actors. Actors have no power over crew. Why? Stage manager has power over everyone except the director. Director owns everyone. But there is no way an actor has more power than the stage manager. Nor should the actor nitpick the SM.

This person has a real problem... Me. So I am just going to do my job and hope that this person just bucks up and learns I can do this and they need to apologize. ( cause I tried to, that person wouldn't listen)


And if that person ever threatens to leave again, I will tell the director and we will handle it.
