Azure Phoenix's Journal   Which Enemy of the Christian Church Are You? Take More of Robert & Tim's Quizzes Watch Robert & Tim's Cartoons Current mood:  amused.
I've decided that I'm not going to have birthdays anymore... Today is the 1st anniversary of my 25th birthday :) Sneaky huh? I'm gonna have to go with uberspoon on this one... if the 17 year old me saw the 26 year old (I mean 25 +1 year old) me he'd be damned upset. I was supposed to be happy and successful by now. Or at least not living at home. *sigh* I am happy, so I suppose things aren't all bad; and I've managed to graduate, I'm not living in a box, and I have a bunch of friends that I wouldn't trade for the world. However a having nice house on the lake and/or a yacht wouldn't exactly depress me either. Current project is Day in Hollywood Night in the Ukraine at the Oak Ridge Playhouse, preview is tonight and I'm almost ready. So instead of birthday dinner I'll be having birthday cue set. Wish me luck, I will be VERY glad when this one opens and I don't have to stress about it anymore. It's also a pretty good show, second act is incredibly funny everyone should come see it, cause, ya know, what the hell else are you doing? ;-) I am going to McLeod's and the Closet tonight so I expect to see all of you there.
Current mood:  stressed.
Wow, for those of you who missed a certain little blond thing's performance last night.... for shame. I just never know what's next with that boy. Ok other things... as of last Tuesday I am no longer working for Gospel Music Television. It all ended ok, basically boiled down to me not being able to do the things that I wanted to do there at a pay rate that would justify driving 100 miles a day to get there. So on one hand it's bad cause I'm unemployed again, on the other I now have time to look for something better. So if you know of anyone who needs a really kick ass tech, let me know. Wes was in town this past week. We had a lovely time up at a friend's condo last week and then we went to the much journaled about evening at Lord Lindsey's on Thursday night. I’d had a theory that the club would be way more fun if you were there WITH somebody. And I'm glad to report that this theory is, in fact, quite true. Just about everyone I knew was there having a big time, so Wes got to meet all the people I've told him about. I even ran into and caught up with a few people that I hadn't seen in ages. Phil's tie was the bomb. Big times all around. Unfortunately Wes is gone again, back to TX and school. In the immortal words of mpb*Le sigh*. Four days out of seven years is NOT sufficient, but what can you do? Anyway, upcoming events would include searching for a job, but not too seriously since I'm going to Disney World on June 20th or so and staying there for a week, perhaps they'll hire me. Ummm birthday's coming up, buffyboy is June 7th then mine is on the 12th.. I'll be calibrating the 1st anniversary of my 25th birthday. *I’m not old, I'm not old, I'm not old....* So I expect much festiveness between the two. I'm sure there are more, but those are the one's on my calendar. That's bout it I guess. Big Times.
Current mood:  good.
OK, so there's been about a million things going on. First is that I have a job. Yes I know that none of you will believe it but I do. Now here's the good part, I'm working for the Gospel Music TV Studio. How totally wrong is that? Now if only I HAD a boyfriend for them to find out about and get all upset.... sigh. So yeah, the downsides are that it's in Pigeon Forge which I hate with the passion of the ages, that the pay is not even close to what I think I'm worth, I have no office/desk/phone anything, and I'm still somewhat lost about when I have to be there. Those are some pretty big ones, but most of them I think are workable. Oh, I'm doing Info. Tech. stuff for them, as well as helping manage the Convention Center and supposedly also working with the TV production/theatre stuff, but that hasn't happened yet. So on one had it's a little odd, on the other hand it is a pretty good balance of what I’d like to be doing, and there seems to be plenty to do, possibly more than I can handle alone but we'll see I guess. So for the moment I'm going to stick with it. We'll give it a couple months and see what happens. More to follow I'm sure. Second is that we have closed the Laramie Project. It was very very good, and while I like having more time in the evenings I do miss getting to see everyone from the show. We even got to go see Judy Shepard speak the week before we opened. That was very very cool, she is an awesome woman. While I'm on that subject, major Kudos need to go to Lori Jo at Wesley for just being the incredible person she is and for fostering an environment that is so wonderfully accepting and affirming at Wesley despite the difficulties and risks involved. We need more people like her who will stand up for what she believes is right even when it's not popular or "safe". Some things are more important. Thank you. Ok I'll put in more later... two will have to keep you happy. Current mood: grateful.
OK, I've just about had it with this stupid cable modem I've spent all bloody day trying to get it AND the HDTV to work at the same time... no dice. It's one or the other. Oh well. Went on Boi's night out Friday, it was good times... we went to the Carousel, skanky as ever I'm afraid... I've decided that I like it better on Tuesday nights when it's no quite so bloody crowded. I have certain issues with clubs in general and the values that they subscribe to... not that they're necessarily bad or that I can't have fun there on occasion. But I can't help feeling that it's not exactly my scene. I just can't get myself to mesh with a place were you have to scream at the top of your lungs just to introduce yourself, I mean this is how you're supposed to meet people??? where the only thing they have to go on are your looks and your ability to shake your ass.... Something not right there. I guess I’m ok with going if I'm with a group of friends and we're just gonna hang out and dance with each other... that’s a little different. But actually going there with the intention of "hooking up"??? Not so much. Ok enough club ranting. I hope everyone is having a good break (since I'm stuck here... SB looses something after you graduate) :-) If any of you are still in town CALL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Current mood:  bored.
And there was light!!! lots of light.. I was rather amazed how bright it got in there, after weeks of skulking around in the shadows it was a nice change... now if we can just teach John how to work light switches >;-) (To his credit it was in there backwards) Anyway now I have to figure out how to get 6-12 to talk to the second dimmer pack. It's never dull... I got to see Ritchie last night at 3 fricking am. He was passing through on his way to Orlando with his folks... and ok parent's tend to be kinda weird anyway, but you keep them up till 3 and they get REALLY kooky... not that they're not good people, but they were keeping close tally on how many people came and went from the rest room.... Bizarre. Ok night night time. peace out and stuff. All my love to Eva cause I GIVE HER A GIRL BONER!!!!!! Current mood: nerdy. Ok, everybody's fussing at me that I haven't made any entries in here for awhile... and they're right. I guess I just haven't had the urge to do it. Anyway, let's see here... I guess the biggest thing that's been going on in my life has been working on Laramie. I'm Stage Managing now and it's been a great time, wonderful cast, crazy director (Love ya), loads of good inside jokes, you know the usual stuff. For all of them who may be reading this.... GAY PANIC!!!!!!!!! If you don’t' get it... well ask me sometime and maybe I'll tell you. I did get my truck back from the shop, so that was a nice touch I'm no longer trapped at home with the bloody cats. Anybody want one??? *sigh* Speaking of which... I heard from PerfectServe a last Saturday, yeah, no job there, *le major sigh* I don't know what's next, I suppose I have to bite the bullet and go work for ClientLogic or something doing bloody phone tech support.... shoot me now. oh well, something's gotta change I guess. Wow, suddenly I'm in a really bad mood... One of these days I'm gonna have a really happy journal entry where everything is good, I have a job, an apartment, a guy, the whole nine yards, I promise.... some day. But for now, that's all folks. Current mood: awake. So I finished reading Laramie today... wow... I look forward to working on the show, but I'm also aware that it's going to be rough at times. There's a lot there that will challenge me. The insurance game is getting more interesting. We were supposed to start repairs on Monday but the insurance company kinda dropped the ball on that one. Mrs. Mynat or whoever still claims that I hit her... which is bloody impossible since I WASN"T IN THE CAR.... anyway so now we're pulling the police report and I suspect that my pictures of the scene will get used. I just hope that this isn't going to involve court time. that would be really irritating. On better news, I heard from PerfectServe on Monday, apparently I'm still in the running for a position there it's just taking them for bloody ever to reach a decision. I guess that's good and all, but I wish they’d get on the stick there I need money. Things otherwise have been pretty calm. Most of the drama that has been swirling around of late seems to have, to some degree, settled down a bit. We'll see how things pan out over the next couple weeks. OK well I'm off to a meeting about the ski trip next week (oh yeah, I'm going skiing with Chrissy and Aaron and company next weekend should be a big time.) Current mood:  lethargic.
Well lets see here... Little Women has come and gone. The production went really well (all 5 of them) and we all had a big ol time. It never ceases to amaze me how a set that took me and Tony 4 weeks of painstaking labor to assemble could take all of an hour and a half to reduce to scrap lumber and random flats. Now granted we had 20 some odd people helping but STILL... that's a lot of screws to take out. But alas. Sylvia opens in two weeks. :-) it's back to work. Speaking of work, no word from ol Perfect Serve. I saw the position advertised in the paper this Sunday... So I've composed a carefully worded email to send to the PR guy to see if I can't elicit some kind of response as to my status with them. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.... right???? please.... Oh and I got a totally unexpected phone call yesterday from a very old friend who I hadn't spoken to in... at least a year, so that was pretty awesome. I'm still kinda smiling about it. On other topics I'm still kinda shaken by the loss of the Columbia on Saturday. I was there for Challenger and so I've gotten to relive allot of that with Columbia. I just hope that NASA can work out whatever it is soon and get us back flying. I know some people think it's a major waste, but I'm proud of our space program and I hope it continues to be strong. The best way to honor the memories of those who lost their lives is to continue the work that they died doing. Current mood:  content.
Well things roll along at the Playhouse... wears me out. We're... *counts*... 2 days from open now and there's still some pretty serious work to be done. Tried to rig up a big 10x10 thin (hollywood) flat to serve as a back for the opening in the second set.... yeah, it tore right off the minute we tried to use it. So much for that bit of creative engineering. Guess we'll have to lick it tomorrow. The crazy thing that I have NO clue what this show is about, I've never actually watched it, or read the script or anything. Someone dies I'm not sure who.. and a long bit about ice skating. How sad is that? I've busted my tail for like 3 weeks on this thing (which will only have 5 public performances, two of which are school shows) and I haven't the foggiest clue WHY!!!!! I mean it's kept me busy and my mind of other things, and for the most part I've enjoyed it... but nevertheless I have NO reason to be there, I'm not connected to the show by family or anything. Yet somehow I have this sense of great responsibility for it. Makes me think that maybe I SHOULD be working in theatre and give up on this whole "tech career" thing. Trick is that getting a decent theatre job has GOT to be just as hard, if not harder than it is for tech. Especially since I will NOT be working on anything that tours *twitch* Ah well, guess I should probably try to get some sleep, lord knows there's lots to do tomorrow. I haven't even gotten to watch Gilmore!!!!! *sigh* VHS is my hero. Current mood:  exhausted.
