Well, I successfully logged into my server with FTP, so hopefully today I will be able to publish for the first time in about a week. I'm basically just mulling around the house while my mom's in Boston. My insomnia has returned full-force, but I'm going to give sleep a chance at midnight.
I did something remarkably stupid. I was trying to play music on my computer, but it was way too quiet. I searched my computer for the volume control - which Will had conveniently moved - found it, but everything was turned up... I was very puzzled. I tried the volume on Sonique, and it was turned up too. Finally I realized that the headphones were plugged into the speakers - I was hearing the very quiet music through the headphones which were sitting next to the speaker, behind the computer monitor. Now I feel pretty dumb.
I need to fill out some job applications and go to bed nice and early - at midnight. For those of you who haven't heard yet, Stick & Co's "second day" of auditions will be Friday at 6 pm in Centennial room 301. Justin Mayo may or may not be there. (Yay!) Oh, and for those of you who haven't heard this yet, Sam-Slam and David Robinson are now a couple. I saw them at Megan D's party last night, looking warm and cozy by the fire. It was a pretty fuzzy sight. New couples are so cute... ::Sigh.::
I guess I'm going to have some people over for movies tomorrow at 2:00. You're welcome to come, if you know where the place is. Or, you can call me and find out. If you don't have my phone number already, you can e-mail or try the U-High Directory.
...The meek are gonna get what's comin' to 'em, by and by...

I continue to be locked out of my domain. ARGH!

I am LOCKED OUT of my domain! My password for Blackglass hasn't worked for Blogger or FTP hasn't worked for, like, three days now, and I'm getting REALLY irritated! It's so annoying to not be able to publish... Argh!

Excerpt from conversation with Justin...
kellie rai: have you ever played Slamwich? Ithiophilis: no? Ithiophilis: what's that? kellie rai: it's like ERS (or Slap) except with these little cards in the shape of bread with sandwich fixings on them. kellie rai: you slap pairs and the card with the "sandwich theif" on them - but ironically, you don't slap sandwiches. kellie rai: go figure. kellie rai: it's a cheap rip-off, but the cards are the shape of bread, which is weird and kind of cool...
I have a problem: my password for Blackglass coming up invalid... Argh! Very frustrating! This means that this entry will be late in coming, unfortunately... How will you ever survive without my journal being constantly updated? I don't know either... Hm. Anyway, must sleep. Simply must.

This is a list of the things I should be working on right now: Finishing my one-act, doing my math homework, putting together a page of notes to use on the final, bugging my brother to find my graphing calculator or I'll kill him, buying clothes and a new bookbag, and film, and batteries, putting together arguments for the Spanish debate, studying Spanish grammar (subjunctive sequence of tenses and relative pronouns - argh!), printing out copies of No Exit, writing down the names of the authors on the mural at Barnes & Noble (could there be a stupider assignment for AP Lit?), advertising for the Sophistry auditions, and studying the order the sharps and flats are added to the key signature.
Breathe... All right. I get to go home in ten minutes.
Thursday, May 17, 2001 @ 3:36 PM
Okay: A serious question: Are there any circumstances under which it is acceptable to pursue someone who is in a relationship with someone else? I want to start some discussion. (Hit the "Discuss" link above.)
Stick & Co. Productions prepares to conquer Jonathan Marc Sherman's Sophistry.
Details:
- Auditions will be held Saturday, May 26th on the third floor of Bone Student Center on the ISU Campus at 1 PM.
- Performances are scheduled for June 29th, 30th, and July 1st, under the direction of Josh Weckesser.
- Interested performers should prepare a monologue (comedic or dramatic) not to excede one minute. Cold readings will also be a part of the audition.
- Assistance in monologue selection can be obtained at: http://blackglass.org/kellie/projects/monologues/ or http://www.monologuemadness.com/.
- If you have any questions, post here, e-mail stickandco@yahoo.com, or call (309) 828-6490.
Plot Synopsis:
The subjective nature of truth is the theme of this play about college life in modern-day America. The self-absorbed lives of a group of students at a small New England college are disrupted when they're suddenly forced to deal with a crisis: Philosophy teacher Whitey McCoy is accused of seducing a male student, Jack Kahn. Both Whitey and Jack tell the story, each from their conflicting memories, leaving everybody in doubt as to what is true. This alleged sexual harassment story is mixed with slices of student life as everybody gossips, takes sides, and eventually forgets all about Whitey and Jack. The students are busy living their self-absorbed, intoxicated lives while trying to sort out their romantic longings and sexual obsessions as they try to come-of-age within the intimate hotbed setting of a contemporary college campus, with all of its confused trials, anxious tribulations, pressures, compromises, and politically incorrect dangers.

...And she said, let there be massive amounts of boredom...
Stuck here till probably 6:15. Planning to write a one-act involving various Shakespeare characters trapped in Hell. And clean my locker. Damn library, closing at f'n 5:00... What the hell is with that, anyway?
Renata is sitting next to me right now, and I have bullied her into checking out my page - rather halfheartedly. But she has informed me the song "How's It Gonna Be" is by Third Eye Blind, not ?. I started working on Version 5 last night - it has no frames, only lots of tables... It's blue and silvery-gray... I'm not completely happy with it yet, but it's getting there. Now, read the post from yesterday if you haven't already, it was better than today's.

...And five days later, she returned...
School has become a joke - permanent study hall/social hour. I have exactly two finals, and one fly-through presentation for Lit. It's sad how little I care, and how little I have to do before I'm out for the summer... Stick & Co. hopes to have auditions soon - assuming that Josh and the copyright company, like, get their asses in gear. Dammit, why does Josh have to be such a moral person? Why can't we just do the play without permission? It's not like we'd ever be caught... It's not like we're making any money, why should we have to pay them at all? GROWL! When I am a playwright, I will allow non-profit organizations to perform my plays without charge... Especially AFTER I'M DEAD... If we have to pay money to do No Exit, I'm going to be really pissed. It's not like Sartre is ever going to see a dime!... I guess we could always do only original shows and things like Bang Bang... It'll just be a lot more difficult.
Speaking of S&C, is there anyone who would be interested in a Renogade Operation during next year's fall "play" You're a Good Man Charlie Brown? I'm willing to produce something if I thought there would be enough people trying out - oh, and just to warn you - Thetard will probably hold a grudge if you do my show instead of hers... You could potentially do both... I suppose... I'm fuzzy on details... I'm not even sure what I'd direct... I just want to know if anyone is willing to risk life and limb to rebel with me next fall... You don't have to make up your mind now. :)
Today is the seniors' last day - a sad day for us all - whether we know it now or not.
Thursday, May 10, 2001 @ 10:16 PM
Well, I should be going to bed... Wow, I haven't written more than a few sentences tonight... I printed off lots of my favorite BMB Comics and put up the non-obscene ones on my bedboard... The others, I'm like, hiding in my Stagecraft binder. I think everything's going to be OK with Eric and what-not, so that's a good thing. And Logan and I are making the friends-thing work, which is good for me. Oh, and did you hear? You can now buy Never Better Merchandise! Go check it out!
Well, Dan and I just spent most of our lunch hour reading Boy Meets Boy! It is HILLARIOUS! I LOVE IT! Go read it! Go! Go! I must dash to math... Back later.
No time to post today, I poured everything into The Never Board. Check back later today.
Wednesday, May 09, 2001 @ 8:58 AM
Oh, my God, you guys, you have to go check out Dan's message on The Never Board, it is so cute and touching! [Nikita adds: And poorly spelled.] Currently: I'm in AP Lit class, we have a "do-whatever-you-want-as-long-as-you're-quiet-day." I'm still trying to decide if I want to buy a domain or not? I have http://www.never-better.net registered, through NameZero, but it would cost me $20 a year to make the ad-banner on the splash page go away... Think it's worth it? Or is there a cheaper place I can register a name? Or should I get a different name? Counsel me. Share with me the benefit of your experiences. Post (hit "discuss" above) or e-mail me. See you all soon.
Tuesday, May 08, 2001 @ 6:10 PM
Currently: At my dad's house. Playing on the computer while he and my mother are at William's baseball game. Hungry. Almost finished typing No Exit, and contemplating entering Blogger's Template Design Contest. I'm also contemplating purchasing a domain... Everyone, I'm open to your suggestions. Share with me the benefit of your experience. Post (Hit "Discuss" above) or e-mail.
The chorus concert last night was really fun, even though people kinda screwed things up, we had a good time. This year isn't really as traumatic as last year is, for me, as far as seniors leaving. The only really sad loss for me is Cori, and part of that is because I know it's going to be really rough on Justin. Colleen, Tessa, and Liz will all be missed, but it's not as bad as last year, when we lost Josh, Emily Baldoi, Sarah Weiss, and Lottie. Yesterday was also the AP Literature test at De Garmo. I forgot about it and went to my first class. Thetard caught me in the hall and drove me over at 9:00, and luckilly, they let me make up the part of the test I had missed. (Thank you, Mrs. Brown!) The test went relatively well - kinda tough, and you never know about those damn essays... Today I had a fierce debate over abortion with Michelle and Megan D. Everyone is against me on this issue, and I just keep reminding myself that I'm sticking up for my beliefs. I just try to share my opinions and arguments without insulting or alienating anyone... I have to go to math soon, so everyone have a nice day, and remember, Josh is coming back to town on Thursday to rescue us from our pre-Finals boredom!
Friday, May 04, 2001 @ 4:12 PM
I posted this today on the Vasconia Message Board: Well, this is the week for crying. I actually had to leave school b/c I was crying - very quietly - all through Spanish on Tuesday (Logan and I broke up Monday night - for the best but, what can I say, I was attached...) and then people have been crying at least one or two per day since. Michelle, Rebecca, Stephanie... It's INSANE! And in addition to Kat and I fighting, Eric has decided to enter the fray (on her side) and Julie looks likely to follow (so, good, soon I'll have -no- friends). BTW, anyone reading this last minute, Bridget Jones at 5:00 at University Cinemas. Should be amusing-rabbit like a letcherous-sleeping-Mexican-crack-whore-hippie-noodle-monkey-muffin-piece... On Tuesday! :)
Thursday, May 03, 2001 @ 5:00 PM
Well, every day is a little easier than the one before, at least as far as this Logan thing goes. My computer is fixed, which makes me happy, Eric is mad at me which makes me sad, and I'm going to see Bridget Jones' Diary tomorrow night, 5:00 at University Cinemas, which makes me happy. I talked to Josh for a long time last night, which made me happy. I haven't found a job yet for the summer, which makes me nervous. So that's 2 happies, 1 nervous, and 2 big sads... But I feel oddly okay. Seems like every day/week/month/year, I find out that I'm even stronger than I thought I was. Someday, I will take over the world. Mwahahahahahaha...
Tuesday, May 01, 2001 @ 6:30 PM
Logan and I broke up last night. I missed my last three classes and the Thespian Banquet tonight (or rather, I am currently missing it) because I kept crying. I am having a somewhat large emotional meltdown. Rationally, I know that Logan isn't really right for me and that we had more bad times than good, etc. Rationally I know that it's all for the best. Emotionally, I'm kind of a mess. I loved that guy, and I was willing to keep trying to make it work. He wasn't. It's... disappointing. I guess everyone thinks their first love will last forever... I don't think I actually ever thought that, but on some level, I believed it... I also lost the election for President of Thespians. I'm actually pretty grateful b/c now she can't boss me around anymore. Anyway, I'm somewhat in crisis so if anyone of my friends reading this wants to, I'd appreciate a call/page/post/etc. I could really use someone to talk to. My computer is having SERIOUS issues, which means there will probably be no updates for at least a few weeks, except to this journal, and the quotes page. And expect some whining and crying from me because no matter how much I know that Logan and I do not belong together, I cannot convince my stupid little insolent emotions to accept thiat relatively simple fact. I guess I just need time to grieve... Yes. Time to grieve. To reconnect with friends and find myself again.
