Hired
So, I started working on another freelance website design project. This time I was legit “hired”. I’m helping out and redesigning and developing the PART website. It’s going to be pretty cool and I think everyone’s going to like it. The people that I’ve asked to give me ideas for have given me some great features they want to see in it so it should be good.

Crew Assignments
So today, I got my crew assignments for the year. Everyone in the drama department is required to do some work on some of the shows but it depends on what major you’re in to determine what shows and how many assignments you get. As an MT (Musical Theatre) or Drama student, you have to do one crew assignment but designers/technicians have to do two. As a Stage Management major, you have to do...

Finally Settled
Today was a great day! A lot of why it was great I guess I can’t really convey in words because it’s stuff that only matters in my head - like how I view people, or questions in my head that were answered but the day just got better and better and better.
I love college now. I guess it took a little bit of time to get there, and sure I know it’s not like the BEST thing in the...

Gas
I just realized how much money I’m saving by not having a car with me. Everything in Manorville is so spread out and here it’s all walkable or busable and that’s really exciting.
Figure I get gas three times per month if I drive the average amount I do.
$55.00 x 3 time per month = $165 x 4 months (how long I’ll be here until I come home for Winter break) = $660

I'll Just Go Back To Sleep
Here’s what sucks about having to get up for class at 9:00 every morning. My first class, usually is only until about 10:30 or 11 depending on the day. When my alarm goes off, it sucks. I’m tired - usually having been woken up by fuckin jackhammers and a crane out my damn window, but after a few minutes of “ugh” and”fuck my life”, I get over it, get out of bed...
“Hey, are you guys having sexical relations? Because I can leave if you want me...”
– Me, sadly.
Have We Met?
Me: Hey, I don't think we've met - my name's John.
Tiffany: Hi, I'm Lindsay. We have met, but you were a little trashed. Just a little.
Me: Oh. That's awkward.
Trav: Well, I guess it's only the second time you've asked who she was in the same week, you're not doing too bad.
Pornstar?
Melissa: Well, wait you think I look like a pornstar?
John: No, I never said that!
Melissa: Oh haha, ok.
John: Well, I don't think of you as a pornstar. Like I guess you could be. You can be whatever you want to be! Like an astronaut!
Melissa: Okay!

Things Are Lookin' Up
Things have gotten a lot better. I feel a lot more comfortable with the people I’m around now. I was so worried that I was falling into a weird situation that would have me as an awkward third wheel but it looks like it was all just my imagination. Anyway, things have gotten so much better. I had the drama department skit and “opening marathon” which was…insane. Everyone...

I'm Not Sure What To Think Yet
College has it’s good days and bad days. I guess today is one of those days that isn’t so great but isn’t necessarily terrible either. I didn’t go to sleep until around 3AM and then was woken up at 6AM by the construction crews outside my room. Then my mom calls me at 7:30AM, like why would I be up at 7:30AM but like an idiot, I left my phone on. Then at 10:00 I walked down...

Am I On Vacation?
The past two days has been so weird! I feel like I’m on vacation or something because I definitely don’t feel like I’m seriously living here for the next year. It’s very weird, but I like it. The food is really not that bad at all and now that I’m unpacked and organized my room feels a lot better. I’m sure it’ll sink in a bit more when classes start but...
I was attacked
this made me laugh because that’s my exact same problem.
hunsonisgroovy:
I was attacked… by a huge disgusting moth. I hate bugs. They just creep me out. Even though I’m 1000 times bigger and stronger than them, they still have the power to make me run away. I can’t even imagine what would happen if they were life-sized.

I'm Leaving
In about 2 and a half hours I’ll be heading out for Syracuse! This is so surreal. I don’t even really know what’s happening - it hasn’t sunken in at all that this is my last night at home for a really long time. Tomorrow is going to be a long day, and probably a frustrating one since it involves both my parents, 8 floors up, and me not having slept since yesterday.

Opinion: Tumblr Music Uploads
Something occurred to me today. On Tumblr, every “day” you’re allowed to upload a new song that’s stored on Tumblr’s website. I’ve noticed that the “day” doesn’t start at midnight, even though that’s usually when I’ve already posted a song and have another one in mind. Plus, on days when I don’t post a song, I feel like...

WTF MTV
Okay, I just saw a commercial for a new show on MTV called “The Party’s Over”. It’s featuring 16 teenagers featured on the show “My Super Sweet 16”. Basically, their parents are sending them to live together on a mountain and learn life lessons the hard way like cleaning up poop.
MTV is fucking crazy.
Making The Band 4 - Season 3?
Wow, so I guess they decided to make a third season of Making The Band 4. It looks like it’s going to be about Danity Kane, Day26 and Donnie Klang getting ready and going on tour. I happened to catch the premiere without realizing it. It looks like it’s going to be good. I’ve been watching Making The Band since “Making The Band 2” when they made “Da...
SocialThing!
So, I was invited to participate in the beta release of a website called SocialThing! and I’m so glad I got invited because it’s awesome! Basically, it’s a website that servers as a hub for all your social networking sites. I can see updates, make changes, post things to one or all of them from this one website. For example, I can post a status update from it and it’ll get...

Tropic Thunder
So tonight I went to see Tropic Thunder with Karen. When we got there, we saw AJ and James which was funny so we sat with them. The movie was HYSTERICAL.
It started out with bogas previews that were actually a part of the movie apparently. The whole movie everyone was laughing but it wasn’t that “Haha, I’m genuinely laughing” kind of laugh - it was more like...
The Big TV
So a while ago, maybe 2005ish, when my Dad bought his new house he got me this ridiculously sized TV for my room that he built for me. Well as I got older and didn’t go there anymore, it kind of just sat there unused. When all this college stuff started I decided to take it to college. When I looked at it again, I realized it was WAY too big to actually be worth brining.
I put it in my...

New Features
I’m going web crazy today! I added a few really awesome new features to my blog and they’re making me really happy.
iPhone/iPod touch version. Using a great resource called “Tumblephone”, I made a special version of my blog that looks like an iPhone application. Even better, when you try to go to my blog from an iPhone or iPod touch, it automatically detects you and...
Demi Lovato? WTF Disney
Okay this is getting insane now. Disney is like all in this 5-13 year old demographic by pumping them through of G-rated sexually frustrated TV-quality movies that almost always break into pop-themed songs about life as an american teenager. Now there’s like new starts breaking through the ranks? Last week it was Miley Cyrus (don’t even get me started on that crazy girl) but now all...

I Need To Pack
Fuck my life. I need to actually start packing. It’s sick but from my various house moves over the years, I’ve become an expert at putting boxes together, but I don’t know what to put in them!
I’ve decided to pack stuff in my living room, which is a disaster right now. There’s college related crap everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Between the ridiculous storage...
Last.FM
So, I’ve been adding some cool social websites to my tumblr profile. I’ve been finding them through other people’s tumblr links and some of them are pretty cool. For those of you that didn’t hear about Pandora Radio possibly closing down, it’s true. If they don’t close - it at least won’t be the same experience if they add advertisements in between radio...

Wanted: Spider
So before, I was just sitting at my desk doing something nerdy with a website or something and I looked over and saw a freakin spider crawling around - a big nasty bugger of a spider too - anyway, I freaked. I threw things and tried to kill it with my remote, I even was ready to use the iPhone for the murder. It creeped behind my monitor and out the hole for all my cables.
I don’t know...
The Pursuit Of Happiness
This movie has been out for a while, but I’ve never wanted to actually sit down and watch it. I happened to turn it on just as it was starting and figured “what the hell, I got nothing else to do”. Anyway, the movie was actually really good. It wasn’t what I expected.
Overall, the movie was really sad and I hate movies that leave me on edge like that. I need to always be...
Posterous
I was looking at some information about Tumblr when they compared it to a brand new REALLY simple blogging application that was just released called “Posterous”. The reason posterous is so simple is because:
you don’t have to sign up.
you can email your posts directly to them.
thats about it.
The way it works is when you first go to http://posterous.com you are given a link...

Finally
Okay, I am finally done thinking about, designing, coding, modifying, testing, staring at and finalizing my new tumblr design. It only took me four days of almost OCD level work. I knew I had to change my design because just the thought of going on Tumblr frustrated me. After all, it’s not like there’s much to look forward to on the Dashboard, so if I hate that AND my own design, why...
I Haven't Stopped!
Today has been so filled with me doing stuff, I’m exhausted. I was the genius that decided to stay up until 3:00 AM working on my new tumblr theme (which is sexy as hell if i do say so myself) and then wake up at 8AM to go to breakfast.
I’m finally able to like actually sit down and it’s catching up to me. I got a new case for my iPhone and a lock for my laptop. When my brain...
That's it.
That’s it. I’ve stared at this long enough. Time for me to make my own theme for my tumblr. I can’t find any ones I like and I’m not willing to modify this one any more than I already have. Wish me luck.
Lasers. The end.
There are those that may dislike Justin Timberlake - but you can’t deny that he knows how to have an awesome touring concert. If you haven’t seen it on HBO, you need to. Even if you put your TV on mute and just watch the lasers. That’s all I’m gonna say.
One day, you want and see, I’ll be the Stage Manager (or whatever the concert touring equivalant of a stage...
Packing Limbo
I’m currently in a state of packing limbo. I have some stuff in boxes, some stuff not even packed yet. The problem is that there’s certain things I don’t want to pack because if I do, I’ll need to take them out again (i.e. clothes, movies, etc.) so I’ve resorted to just putting like EVERYTHING I OWN on the floor in my closet - that way I’m one step closer to...
