I hope you have the time of your life

January 14th, 2003 with 204 views

Today was full of melodramatic shit. The cheerleaders from the senior class were very pissed at the people in the play, and basically everyone was all upset and weepy because our batch is being split up into two like that. Uhh, whatever. I really couldn’t see what everyone was so freakin’ upset about. Why is this whole batch unity thing such a big deal for them? So what if some of us would rather be on the play than cheerlead? I just don’t get why everyone was acting like a major tragedy just happened. What a very stupid, shallow thing.

Still counting the days until graduation. Methinks I’ll be the only one with dry eyes during our commencement exercises.

We had a technical run today (that’s when you rehearse with the lights and the sound system) and for some reason we had to bring our costumes and have our hair and makeup done. Grr. If there’s anything I hate, it’s “hair” and “makeup”. Makeup makes me look like a pick-up girl; I stay as far away from the stuff as possible. And I like to keep my hair down and flowing. I would never tie it or put cutesy barettes unless my life depended on it. I dunno..I like the free-ness I feel with unaccessorized hair. Since I’m supposed to be a Nubian (African) in the play, the director ordered that all the Nubians should have braided hair. I half-thought of talking my way out of it by saying that my character is supposed to be a mulatto, and mulattos usually have straight, unbraided hair. But you know these directors, you always have to do what they say “or else”. So now my hair is in braids and I feel really, really awkward.

And who would have thought his love would be so good? Not me. Not me.

    oh lauryn! hehehe, it doubt they make put makeup on you, and fix your hair in a certain way to make you feel awkard, because they want you too! lol! but really.. you should have seen the loads of makeup they were putting on the guy’s during our school production… o____@;; it was scary standing infront of them, but they needed it all so people will be able to see their facial expressions for afar. It’s just for the better.. hehe don’t worry about the awkardness, once the play actually stars rolling, and it’s actually action time, the awkardness will fade away :)

    i feel exactly the same about make-up, gurl. i rarely very rarely put anything on - and when i do, it’s just for enhancements, like eyeliner and lippie. i heard this on tv the other day: an advice that this guy got from his dad when it comes to picking women is: 1.) see what she looks like without make-up and 2.) see what her mother looks like. au naturelle is always the way to go, i reckon.

    your post reminded me of my senior year in HS. my girl classmates were all crying together in their groups as if they’d not see each other in college again… ho well. nice site :)

    lol I beg to disagree with the last comment! Once I stepped foot into college, I do wonder how I even lasted through 4 years of high school! It’s a horrible place, full of melodramatic crap! And not to mention, stuck in the same building for 8 hours a day for 10 months a year. Never again! College has it’s fair share of stress, but the freedom and intellectual atmosphere is so much better.

    Only a few more months Lauryn!

    Hair should be left as they are, then they’re the most comfortable for the owner. [at least me]
