The heat is beating me senseless

October 9th, 2002 with 146 views

I attended the orientation and registration for the school play this afternoon. My extremely supportive school let us have the orientation in the audio-visual room at the kindergarten building. It’s this small, stuffy, box-like room with no windows and decent air-conditioning system. And it was really, really crowded when I arrived because for some reason, there were a lot of grade school kids who showed up. I don’t know why in the world they were told to audition because the school play is usually a high school thing and besides, we’re doing Aida. The story doesn’t involve kids at all. Aside from the fact that I don’t like kids very much, they took up around 60% of the room. God, I practically asphyxiated of carbon monoxide poisoning. It was so hard to breathe in there, let alone pay much attention to what our director, Dan, was saying.

But here’s what I understood: we register our name, tomorrow we bring a piano piece or minus one tape of the Broadway song we’re supposed to sing, we audition at our assigned time, and the following day we will be told if we made it or not. Bah. There’s no doubt about it that the likes of Tracy and Alys will be getting leads but according to Dan, they’ll be needing a lot for the chorus so I hope I make the cut-off. I hope my friends do too, cos it won’t be as much fun without them. I’m still nervous about having to sing all alone in front of people, but I know my song by heart so maybe it won’t be so bad.

I just visited my batch’s website, but only the main page is done and the rest are dead links. I’d like to design or co-design my batch’s website, not because I care about my batch, but because I know I can make the website better. Very few people know that I have webdesign skills, but oh well. When the opportunity comes I suppose I could volunteer some web space and such. A few of my classmates have websites and sometimes I wish I could also give them the URL to mine, but then that would mean their access to my daily thoughts and events and I don’t think I want that to happen. I like keeping a low profile, and it’s so annoying how some people presume that they really know me just because they read my journal.

Even if someone read ur journal every single day, they could not know you really for who you are, they only know the information you write on ur site. only the people you are close to know who really are.

Hehe, reminds me of something I just read for one of my assignments today.

“The very process of constructing a narrative for oneself –of telling a story– imposes a certain linearity and coherence that is nevery entirely there.”

For every line that you write, there are thousands more that are left out! =]
