Yeah, it was probably the worst thing ever. My laptop crashed last Sunday, and all the files 'disappeared' because somehow the user profiles were corrupted. And none of my backup files were working, for some frustrating reason. So I freaked out on Sunday. And then, we got it fixed Monday, but I lost some valuable writing time and then production week a.k.a. hell week began for Drama. So I haven't had time.
I knew I wasn't going to have the time to finish my story, so I've set it aside for when I'm less busy, and I do intend to finish it. Eventually. But for right now I figured it's better for me to focus on school and drama, because that has, basically, consumed my life. Hence my mysterious and long absence.
So in other news I really hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving, if anyone who actually reads these posts celebrates - and I'll inform you that while the stuffing was very undercooked and there wasn't enough of it to begin with, and so we ran out, everything else was very good. The potatoes were delicious and I am, once again, in love with turkey. Unfortunately I only got one slice of apple pie, but that is remedied by the prospect of blueberry pie in the near future, which is even better.
And then, speaking of things being better, the Laramie Project - the play our school drama club is doing this fall - opens tonight. This evening - in four hours, to be exact. And I am SO NERVOUS. Like, never been this freaked out before, not even when I was Alice in Wonderland last year - and that was big.
It's just, this is my first HS play, and so I really don't want to mess things up - and then again, it's not just me I'm worried about - there are some people, thankfully in the second of two casts with the worst of them, who just don't know their lines and their cues - and it's ridiculous, they've had over a month. And so I just wind up wanting to bash them over the head and say WHAT is going on?? But I don't - I leave that to our wonderful directors!
There is a serious lack of commitment with some people...and that irks me, but then again that might be because I am a perfectionist to the fullest extent of the word. It's not even funny - people get annoyed at me a lot of the time, because I just don't seem to stop adjusting things. And then I get paranoid that no one else will do something "right" so I freak about that...yeah. And yet people always want to work with me on projects because I always get A's...
There was a project due yesterday in World Studies class, but I didn't present today or yesterday so now I get the whole weekend to practice more! Because with drama I've been more stressed than ever. So in a way? I'm really, really glad the play is over this weekend.
