| Been a While |
[Nov. 20th, 2007|04:21 am] |

NAME A THEATRE SUPERSTITION: I still listen to a certain Sublime song before the opening show
LAST PART YOU PLAYED IN A SHOW: A disciple in JCS- I decided I was Thomas

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A DANCE SOLO: sadly yes- multiple in Footloose
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A SINGING SOLO: there have been some

NAME A SHOW YOU'VE DONE MORE THAN TWO TIMES: haven't had the pleasure, though if I was going to pick and I could reprise the role, Can-Can
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO LA: Hell on Earth
SCARIEST PART OF AN AUDITION: While I don't consider audtioning frightening, sometimes my arms will go numb- its bizarre
BEST PART OF AN AUDITION: The Callback- i like to be able to size up the competition
NAME A SHOW YOU WOULD NEVER DO AGAIN: There has never been a show that I participated in and disliked
NAME A SHOW YOU COULD DO FOR YEARS: Can-Can, JCS, Godspell- in that order

ON A SCALE OF 1-10 HOW IMPORTANT IS GETTING PAID: If I could do this and get paid... whoo-boy that would be great, but I guess 1
WHAT IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE: For me it was my first Can-Can; however for the few who saw it, it was probably the Do You Have the Right to Remain Dead show where I fell off the chair while pretending to be dead and had to be forced out the door.

1. "Bah, Hasbock"
2. "I want you to stop making a fool of myself"
3. "I'm going to give you... a cookie"
4. Baptizing the cast in Godspell with, ice water and then SuperSoakers
Actually, now that I think about it- Mike Renzi putting a wool hat over my face instead of the blanket, causing the aformentioned chair falling
WHO IS THE MOST DIFFICULT PERSON THAT YOU HAVE EVER WORKED WITH: haha...as an actor or director? Trudy, though I have very, very, little room to talk
EVER BEEN NAKED ON STAGE: I was in a wife beater once, that was the closest I've ever been
WHO OR WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST INSPIRATION OR INFLUENCE: I just like the thrill
BEST PROFESSIONAL SHOW(S) YOU'VE SEEN:Tony Vincent's performace of Judas was the best acting I've ever seen- but that JCS sucked because of Glenn Carters Jesus (HE LOOKS LIKE A BUG)
I'm gonna puss out and say vintage The Producers
BEST AMATEUR/COMMUNITY SHOW(S) YOU'VE SEEN: It might have been because I was relatively young, but Cinnamson's version of The King and I ('93?) was just awesome, as was Fiddler

So, I have one more paper to do, and I've finished all I need to do to graduate. In the last week I've written close to 70 pages- today I wrote 12 pages in 4 hours, then realized I hadn't double spaced- so it was actually 21. All I have to do is write my 15 page English Thesis (number 2) and I'm finished. What was a marathon is now just a sprint.
But I don't want to.
I'm not ready to finish, I was a until now, but it's nearly over. The only thing standing between me and the real world is 15 pages of analysis on a collection of poem's by Robert Penn Warren. I'm not ready.
Wasn't it yesterday that I was complaining about how 19 was too old an age? Wasn't it yesterday that I stepped on to campus as a freshman? Wasn't it yesterday that I was so worried about vocab tests I would miss watching Duck Tales?
I still don't know what I'm doing in the fall. Presumably law school- but then again, where? This is by far one of the most important turning points in life, just as it is also one of the most uncertain. No matter what I do, I feel that when I wake up tomorrow, I'll be 55, the oldest living member of my family and wondering what happened.
I've had an amazing time here. I've done nearly everything I wanted to do in college. Internships, plays, double majoring/double minoring, debate, fencing, editing for the literary magizine, having my own radio show. I had amazing times and made great friends. But the experiences are about over, and those friend will be scattered- just like those in high school, but worse- because no one grew up in D.C. I seriously have to ask myself, what do you do with a B.A. in English. In a week, I'll be wishing I could go back to college.
It's strange how things change, though it shouldn't be suprising. Three years ago there wasn't a time where I saw less than 20 messages a week on livejournal, now there are maybe two a month. Everyone seems to have grown up, or at least they've become so busy things like this really have lost their importance.
One more paper.
maybe i'm just procastinating.
God I hope so. |

So fark.com had a message board challenge "Define your sex life with a Star Wars quote." Honestly, the stuff people came up with was excellent, so I decided I'd give mine and then post the best ones.
First mine: "This is Red Five - I'm going in!"
The other awesome ones:
You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought.
Aren't you kinda short to be a stormtrooper?
"I'm your father."
/wait what?
//oh god--the repressed memories
Get in there, you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell!
Yipeeeee!
"I don't know who you are or where you've come from, but from now on you'll do as I say, okay?"
You serve your master well and are sure to be rewarded.
I know it smells bad, but it will keep you warm
Don't get too cocky
"I know."
This little one's not worth the effort
It's not my fault! They told me it was fixed !
"Luke, at that speed do you think you'll be able to pull out in time?"
Yeah, but this time I've *got* the money.
it's a trap!
I don't know who you are or where you've come from, but from now on you'll do as I say, okay?
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not
I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it.
Impressive. Most impressive.
Greedo: That's the idea... I've been looking forward to this for a long time.
Han Solo: Yeah, I'll bet you have.
[SFX: Boom!]
Han Solo: Sorry about the mess.
I got a problem here.
Eject!
I can hold it.
Pull up!
No, I'm all right... ahhh!
Negative. It didn't go in. Just impacted on the surface.
Gold Leader: It's no good down here, I can't maneuver!
Gold Five: Stay on target.
Gold Leader: *We're too close!*
Gold Five: Stay on target!
Gold Leader: [shouts] Loosen up!
You got a lot of carbon scoring here. It looks like you boys
have seen a lot of action.
I find your lack of faith disturbing.

| (no subject) |
[Mar. 4th, 2007|02:03 pm] |
The Setup:
Using the letter P, list 10 songs and then give their significance. THe challenge, make them all from the artists Tom used., while ensuring that I could actually listen to them.
Protection- Ben Folds, off of the Speed Graphic LP
The theme of this letter is, "bands tom used that I can actually stand." In this case, protection is one of those above average songs that I probably like only because the rest of the LPs in the last couple years suck. I would have picked the demo version, but the quality is too poor. (Yes I could have picked philosophy, but I didn't- go fuck yourself)
Pulsing Pulsing- XTC, off of Rag Bone Buffet: Rare Cuts & Leftovers,
This is one of the first XTC songs I could stand, probably because it's just over 1:30 seconds long. I'm pretty sure that the majority of people reading this would hate this song, which is just another reason I enjoy it.
Prolouge, August 29th, 1968- Chicago, off of Chicago Transit Authority
Much more stomachable then "Free form Guitar," this song is important because the album is very good; thus, you always have to suffer through this song if you want to enjoy the rest of an awesome debut album, even if it has hippy overtones.
Purple Toupee- They Might Be Giants, off of Lincoln
Clearly better than the other TMBG songs that start with P, such as "Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head," "Pencil Rain," and, "Particle Man." Its one of those songs that if people asked me, "make me a CD of TMBG song," I'd put on the Cd, because it wouldn't scare them. Probably one of my favorite 7 TMBG songs. Tom didn't have, "For Science" on his list, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't have.
Papas Got A Brand New Bag- James Brown, off of James Browns Greatest Hits
I won't put on any Simon and Garfunkel on this list on principal. However, this song (and artist) are clearly better. No one hates this song, because it is awesome. And you can play it in a black dinner, and no one will attempt to murder, or suprise sex you.
Polly- Nirvana, off of Nevermind
"Polly wants a cracker, I think I should get off her first." Possibly the best song about man-bird sex ever. Also, I can listen to this and not think of blowing up Seattle, unlike tom's selection. Also, Nevermind is amazing, besides the whole naked baby thing.
Polonaise in A flat major, op. 53- Chopin, performed by Vladamir Ashkenazy
This is the music used as the theme to "Oliver Cromwell," by Monty Python- Unfortunately, "Oliver Cromwell." does not start with "p." Polonaise, though, does. I did contemplate using "Penis Song," but I thought that would be WAY to easy.
Pusher, The- Blind Melon, off of Nico
Let's be honest, NO ONE listens to Neko Case. But, this Blind Melon song of the ALBUM Nico, is a great cover )read: better than the orignal by 2000%) of the original Steppenwolf song. Also, I have to inclue Blind Melon on any music list, on principal.
Poor Mary Lane- Moxy Fruvous (ignore my lack of umlauts), off of Wood
An intesting fact, an anagram of Moxy Fruvous is Morousy xvf. Also, no matter what the song, I'd rather listen to Fruvous than Morissey- unless it's Wood is also a great album. And this is an awesome song
Please Let Me Wonder- Beach Boys, off of The Beach Boys Today!
Little known fact, when I was little the Beach boys were one of my top three favorite bands. Can you guess the rest? Probably, yes. This song is moderately decent, and isn't about plants. It's also not by the Beachels. That makes it acceptable.
Easy.
Yeah, I'll do a real "Music Paul loves that begins with P" later, possibly with pictures. The challenge needed to be met first. |

| | Banner Year- Five Iron Frenzy | ] |
What an odd year. In the span of the last 12 months, I lived in a foreign country, worked for Parliment, lost two people I was really close to, had two of the best semesters ever, and gained a really hot girlfriend. Two of my closest friends got engaged, I changed my post-graduation plans for the first time in 9 years, I became the top debator at my school, I got into what will be the last show of my college career, finally got to know D.C., etc...
I mean, there were some completely terrible things that happened this year, see the deaths in the family, but overall, this has been a really good year for me. I've always thought that if there was some way to get a me from every minute of my life- as in a different me for every minute I've lived, it would result in a lot of me beating the crap out of myself because I'm so obstinate yet I learn a lot, so the disagreements in opinion and on principal would just cause violence. But this year, if there was a paul from every minute, I don't think there'd be much fighting at all. I think that's some sort of progress.
By next year I want to have won a lot of money in poker and be finacial secure (resolution). |

| Tom's song thing |
[Dec. 8th, 2006|03:03 am] |
| [ | music |
| | Bright Lights- Carbon Leaf | ] |
As per Tom's request...
The following are the top 5 songs I'm into right now and reason why
1. Carbon Monoxide- Cake
I've always liked Cake, and I've had this song for quite sometime, but I never really listened to to until recently. Now it's one of my favorite 13 Cake songs. The rhythm is great, and it's got this interesting pseudo-60's pyshcidelic feel while at the same time is very minimalistic. Cake is awesome; I hope I can appreciate more of their stuff later in life.
2. Fable- Gatsby's American Dream
This song I've listened to so much in the last couple weeks it's almost lost its magic... but not yet. The album Volcano has some amazing tracks, and while it came out early in the year I only was able to get it from Kevin a month ago. Their sound is incredibly unique and crazy good. Also, it's about Lord of the Flies- which officially makes it my favorite thing about Lord of the Flies.
3. Pompeii- Gatsby's American Dream
Once again another song from Volcano- this one is about the obvious. Again the sound is so different from the other stuff I've heard, and I listen to a lot of stuff.
4. Light Years- Jamiroquai
I'm into really obscure Jamiroquai songs- read Black Capricorn Day, Black Devil Car, and this song. I'm not into most of the stuff that they put out. In fact, I was nearly positive that I had found all their good songs (of which there are 5) several months ago. However, this song was randomly on the CUA radio station playlist one day, and I liked to so much I actually bought the damn thing. That is a rarity. In any case, sometimes this band can "bring the funk." This song is one of those times
5. Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is- Jet
This is one of Jet's new singles. Ok, they aren't exactly innovative, but holy crap they know how to make a good rock song. Get Born was sweet as hell, this New CD, from what I've heard, is on par. On some tracks they seem to be replacing their archetype from AC/DC to Oasis, but not this one.
6. Bright Lights- Carbon Leaf
Their new album, Love. Loss. Hope. Repeat. was a huge dissapointment in everyway. I hate their new direction, I hate the singles, I hate the lack of them showing their muscial abilities. However, this song grows on you. And after a while, I think I'll appreciate it- kinda like a really good fuck buddy.
On that note, I have 30 pages to write in the next 18 hours. Yeah, it sucks. |

1. You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you explode?
The president of Iran, and I'd do it when he's inspecting his nuclear reactor core.
2. You can flip a switch that will wipe any band or musical artist out of existence. Which one will it be?
Oh god... so many- Black Eyed Peas
3. Who would you really like to just punch in the face?
Bob Novak
4. What is your favorite cheese?
mozarealle
5. You can only have one kind of sandwich. Every sandwich ingredient known to humankind is at your immediate disposal. What does your dream-sandwich consist of, and does it contain the aforementioned cheese?
White Bread, lettuce, turkey, ham, mustard.
6. You have the opportunity to sleep with the movie-celebrity of your choice. We are talking no-strings-attached sex and it can only happen once (they will never call you back). Who is it?
Rachel McAdams, without question
7. You have the opportunity to sleep with the music-celebrity of your choice. Same rules as above. Who is it?
Oddly enough, Kelly Clarkson
8. Now that you've slept with two different people in a row, you seem to be having an excellent day because you just came across a hundred-dollar bill on the sidewalk. Holy shit, a hundred bucks! How are you gonna spend it? (saving, investing and depositing do not count)
More 360 games
9. You just got a free plane ticket to anywhere. You have to depart right now. Where are you gonna go?
I always have a free plane ticket to anywhere- but Sydney Australia is next on my list
10. Upon arrival to the aforementioned location, you get off the plane and discover another hundred-dollar bill. Shit! Now that you are in the new location, where are you gonna go to spend that?
I'm getting a really really big knife
11. An angel appears out of Heaven and offers you a lifetime supply of the alcoholic beverage of your choice. "Be brand-specific" it says. Man! What are you gonna say about that? Even if you don't drink booze there's something you can figure out... so what's it gonna be?
First, I question why the Lord God Jehovah, creator of Heaven and Earth has decided that I, of all people, get this interesting prize. Then it's easy; I'm getting Dom Perrieniogn. Sell that shit. Even if I only get one a week, that's roughly 62,000 dollars a year I can suppliment my income with.
12. Rufus appears out of nowhere with a time-traveling phone booth. You can go anytime in the PAST. What time are you traveling to and what are you going to do when you get there?
Hard... I don't want to go back too far, because there won't be sanitation... yet I don't want to go to close, because that would be boring
13. You discover a beautiful island upon which you may build your own society. You make the rules. What is the first rule you put into place?
Wait, are there people there... or am I going crazy on a deserted island. Because if it's the former then the rule is, "Paul makes the rules even after the society is complete." If I'm going crazy, I might as well outlaw hurricanes on the island.
14. You have been given the opportunity to create the half-hour TV show of your own design. What is it called and what's the premise?
I'm bringing back Brisco County Junior
15. What is your favorite expletive?
"Wt, the fuck, f"
16. One night you wake up because you heard a noise. You turn on the light to find that you are surrounded by MUMMIES. The mummies aren't really doing anything, they're just standing around your bed. What do you do?
One might think to call ghostbusters, but instead, I'd call Brandon Fraiser; he's had the most experience with these things.
17. Your house is on fire, holy shit! You have just enough time to run in there and grab ONE inanimate object. Don't worry, your loved ones and pets have already made it out safely. So what's the one thing you're going to save from that blazing inferno?
My computer, fucking duh.
18. The Angel Of Death has descended upon you. Fortunately, the Angel Of Death is pretty cool and in a good mood, and it offers you a half-hour to do whatever you want before you bite it. Whatcha gonna do in that half-hour?
I kill the Angel Of Death
19. You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what's even cooler is that they endow you with the super-power of your choice! What's it gonna be?
Once again, ultimate telekensis- that is, I can force lift anything with my mind, no weight limit. This makes me able to fly, able to create "fields of force," I can force push, etc. etc.
20. You can re-live any point of time in your life. The time-span can only be a half-hour, though. What half-hour of your past would you like to experience again?
Act II Can-Can closing night, sophomore year of highschool
21. You can erase any horrible experience from your past. What will it be? (the answer "nothing" doesn't count)
Last Two Days, Spring Break senior year of highschool
22. You got kicked out of the country for being a time-traveling heathen who sleeps with celebrities and has super-powers. But check out this cool shit... you can move to anywhere else in the world! Bitchin'! What country are you going to live in now?
MF, that is not cool. I'm like the first person to be exiled since Charlie Chaplin. Man, that's terrible- I guess London.
23. This question still counts, even for those of you who are under age. Check it out. You have been eternally banned from every single bar in the world except for ONE. Which one is it gonna be? Come on!
Strangers Bar at Parliment- I won't get to drink there often, but what better place to drink then on the river Thames, looking out on the common people.
24. Hopefully you didn't mention this in the super-powers question.... If you did, then we'll just expand on that. Check it out... Suddenly, you have gained the ability to FLOAT!!! Whose house are you going to float to first, and be like "Dude check it out I can fucking FLOAT!"
Um... an executive board member from Viacom's house? They'd know how to market that.
25. The constant absorption of magical moonbeams mixed with the radioactive vegetables you consumed earlier have given you the ability to resurrect the dead famous-person of your choice. So which late celebrity will you bring back to life?
Ronald Reagan, pre-the alzheimers... I need someone to vote for in '08.
26. The Celestial Gates Of Beyond have opened, much to your surprise because you didn't think such a thing existed. Death appears. As it turns out, Death is actually a pretty cool entity, and happens to be in a fantastic mood. Death offers to return the friend/family-member/person/etc. of your choice to the living world. Who will you bring back?
Hmmm, let me think- I have the ability to deny eternal happiness to an entity in order to put them back on this planet... who do I hate that much
27. What's your theme song?
The Amazing Journey- The Who; though this is temporary until I write my own. |

So, a while back, like more than a year ago, I registered at eharmony- why? Not because I want to get matched to some random chick I've never met. That would be the gayest thing ever. Think About It. "So, paul where did you meet your wife." "Oh, I went to this website..." Fuck that. However, they are advertised as having a very extensive personality profile, and I'm into that- ENTP an everything. In anycase, when I took it, it told me I because I was under 21 I couldn't be registered, and didn't give me the damn thing.
Gay.
In anycase, I realized today tha, being 21, I could now check it. So I read the profile and "compatiblity profile" which tells you the chicks you like. Profile was pretty accurate, i'd say 98% and the compatibility one about 90-5%. I was honestly kinda suprised how crazy it was, "Your ideal mate would understand that the homeless need charity, but probably wouldn't give to them if asked." Seriously. Almost as good, "Your ideal mate probably will understand family tension, as they have lived with it there whole life and are used it it." Um... Weird, I like girls from broken-homes? Not exactly what I'd consider to be true, but it is humourous.
However the best was, "Your ideal mate understands that sometimes its better to hurt the feelings of other if they are to hold the upper hand in an argument." I mean, holy shit, that's freaking awesome.
So, because I admit I was curious there were a lot of people like this, I checked my matches. What I got was a message that said for 1 out of every 5 people can't be matched because of too much possible variance, they'd rather not take the risk of it working, because if it doesn't it will be bad.
Wtf. How gay is that. If eharmony.com was a guy, I'd kick him in the nuts.
Once again, I wouldn't ever use this site, but it's a matter of principal.
I am, though, taking this as a sign that I am much to awesome to be matched to a soulmate by a computer.
Also, the phillies need to win. |
