It's really really warm in here

I woke up early today (9:30, I'm in college and it's Sunday, 9:30 is really early) and googled Lorax + town I currently live in and found this:

That's us!!!! Video Game Boy is sporting the Gryffindor scarf and green sweater, The Lorax in the brown and Noelles in the skirt. I and actually behind the grey boxes throwing Easter Grass into pond with the Humming fish, which you can't see.

We're on the front page of the Local section of our local newspaper!! We also discovered that VGB didn't turn the "Theeds" sign.

I also heard a story about yesterday from VGB about that girl playing the Lorax. Noelles, VGB and I loaded all the cars with our cardboard and duct tape set at 8, and waited for her so we could leave so we could all get breakfast before we ran through when we got to the library. At nine, she showed up so we didn't get a chance to head off to Dunks until after we ran through. The Lorax told our advisor that "I have no idea why they couldn't go before, they were just standing around at 8:30."

ahfsa;iuhg <- anger.

We could go earlier because a half a person fit in each of VGB's and my car with the set in it. Cardboard boxes and teddy bears take up a lot of room.

Everyday I seem to like her less. And her boyfriend owes me an air mattress.

In other news, our windows can only open about 3 inches because if its open any further, we, as college students, will get drunk and jump out of them. And it's like 80 degrees, making the second floor a billion degrees, and the hallway smells like pot.

ALSO someone is using all five washers.

sorry this got really complainy, that happens when it gets really hot in my room.

and that is the end of the story

Today was awesome because I discovered the MP3 of Hank's "I'm not Edward Cullen"

THE LORAX by Dr. Seuss

This morning was our play. But before I tell you about that, I'm going to tell you about what happened yesterday.

As I'm sure you know, the day before the play is almost more important than the actual play. So Video Game Boy and I, along with Noelles our narrator, were waiting in our rehearsal space (which BTW is the middle of the main lobby of the second floor of my dorm hall, which is normally used as a study lounge), waiting for our Lorax to show up.

When she finally does, she's not even close to ready to practice, and say "I'm going to the circus. But if you need me call. I'll be back around 11." Then she leaves.

In my head I'm thinking: "Really, of all things you could be doing right now, you're going to the freakin' circus." But outwardly I smiled.

You can't exactly do run throughs of THE LORAX by Dr. Seuss without THE LORAX!!

While complaining, I watched Georgie play Pokemon Snap on VGB's Nintendo for like 3 hours.

I would also like you to know that Georgie, Thursday, and Jenjen came up around the time of the "I'm going to the circus." situation.

We then went to AppleBees with Keith, OR, the mustached one, and his Fiancee the nurse, at like 10:30.

I would also like you to know that we had this plan for like 3 weeks.

While we were waiting to be seated by the most adorable gay guy ever ;) The Lorax texts me. It reads "I'm waiting in the lobby when you're ready."

So I reply: "Umm, yea I'm at Applebees with all my friends, rehearsals were at 6."

And she said. "SAY WHAT!?!"

To which I replied. "Yeah, we've only known I was going out with my friends since March, we found out about the 'circus' a minute before you left. And VGB went to bed at 9:30."

Needless to say, it was MY fault we didn't get to rehearse, because I went to the circus the day before the play.

Applebees was awesome. That's all I'm going to say about it.

Then we all played Life and went to bed at like 3, because that's what people that have to get up at 6:30 to pack two cars with cardboard boxes and teddy bears does.

Our play this morning went along wonderfully!!!

Except the middle truffula tree fell over in the beginning.

We even made a little kid cry, and yell "Don't crop down the trees!!" It was adorable. We even get to be in the newspaper tomorrow!!

After that The Sassy Ladies (our youtube collab channel girls) went to the boat launch and listened to music before the girls had to take off. All and all awesome day.

And that is the end of the story.

Today is awesome because we didn't scare any little kids with the Once-ler, and we got to plant sunflowers with 4 year olds :)

Welcome to Hell....week

Each day I say to myself, "Deanna, there was a wayyyyyyyyy simpler way to do that."

And each day I reply, "You mean instead of having half the stuff of my closet fall on me trying to take the sleeping bag out, I could have just closed the window?'

And I answer, "Yes, what you did just now was stupid."

Okay, so the window situation doesn't happen daily, but something like that happens almost everyday.

Yet I still find myself wrapped in two comforters with the window open, thinking about how much easier life would be if I just closed the window.

On a mildly related note, I made a YouTube video today!

I can't seem to copy and paste the whole embedding code... so here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGDbM7rCAKs

I'm fairly impressed with this video. I get rather impressed with myself whenever I don't have to restart the computer 46 times while recording.

While filming this video, you will notice there is a part where I show a The Who poster. I tried like six different ways to have me in the shot while showing The Who poster, and I nearly killed myself while standing on a chair. I have never been more happy that I'm too lazy and poor to do laundry while at school.

We have intense Lorax rehearsals the rest of the week before the big performance on Saturday. I'm super excited about it. BUT I have a really big important Leadership dessert to go to in the middle of the rehersal time. Thankfully, three of the five people in the play are also leaders. But we still have quite a bit of work to do in the "where the F does this piece of set go!" and the "Where are the Barbaloots!" and the "Wait what's my line?" departments so needless to say, this week is going to be equal parts FUN and Ridiculous-ness.

And that is the end of the story

Today was awesome because there was Chicken Nuggets AND apple crisp at lunch today!

I have a question for you

What do boys smell like?

I mean, they have this smell, but what is it? When I walk into a room not knowing who occupies it, it becomes clear that a boy lives there by the smell. Its a smell girls don't have, because we mainly smell like fruit and candy (that's what I soap smells like anyway).

The reason I ask is because the boy smell comes up a lot in my novel, and I just don't know how to describe this smell! I would ask the boys in my class what they think they smell like, but that's weird, and my most guy friends smell nice, i feel this is mostly because they have girlfriends, or boyfriends for that matter.

So what do boys smell like? is it the scent of washing your hair with bar soap? Because I don't understand that either.

On a completely unrelated note: I've been playing with the axe we're using in my play, and I have discovered that my roommates have grown so use to me that they don't even question 1. why I have an axe or 2. why I'm playing with it.

They're view of what is normal is now completely messed up. I like it.

I posted my sassy lady video which has a cameo by the axe check that here: http://tinyurl.com/d8erqt

I must go the the Environmental Awareness Group meeting and go paint things for The Lorax.

And that is the end of the story

Today is awesome because I'm wearing a skirt, and I don't feel really gross.

I was boob grazed

I'm the President of my school's drama club.

This being said, you know can clearly picture most of my friends: drama nerds, video game boys, and the like.

We're putting on a performance of the Dr. Suess classic "The Lorax" on the 25th, and we started painting the sets today. John Mike (of the Video Game Boy variety of friend, also the kid who's car I pushed) is playing the Oncler, so we had to build him into a Oncler shack made of cardboard boxes.

John Mike is quite a bit taller that me, so while completely in cased in boxes with only arm holes, he pushed out and basically punched me in the boob. He was the only boy painting so he got super embarrassed and the four girls started laughing.

There was really no point to that story, but I felt the need to tell it because it was funny.

What else happened in my life???

I got really drunk yesterday, and ate a huge container of strawberries. That was fun.

Example of how big nerds my friends and I are. We call drinking "going to hogsmead" because it sounds cooler.

I hearts my friends.

Today is awesome because there was stuffing at dinner again today! And I got to paint a Truffula tree. :)
