Well, as I type this, I'm on an old Pentium 2 running Red Hat Linux (http://www.bash.org/?37390). It's pretty nice, but I haven't really done anything with it. It's slower than Windows 2000 was, although it's currently acting as a server for a bulletin board Texdex set up that we use at school, and we're also hosting the forum for [url=http://www.llamagames.com]this comic for our friend. The characters are based on teachers, so that's why the fetus jokes aren't as funny. It's also slower (233 vs. 400 with lots of extra RAM) than the computer I used Windows 2000 on. Anyway, I've been busy, and plan to convert my other computer to Linux once I get it back. It was kind of confiscated because of my vehement refusal to clean my room--in part because of your tiredness and lack of free time, and in part as a result of laziness--and is sitting on the floor with no cables coming out of it. Well, if and when I build a new one, I'm going to put Linux on it.
Let's see, that was Linux... Life. I've been fighting with my parents for a while, about the stupidest thing (hair length). They insist I cut it, but not too short. So, I've made a decision to shave my head down to about a quarter inch or so, once the musical ends. I saw Phantom of the Opera yesterday on Broadway. Field trip. w00t. I'm single now (drifting apart and a minor conflict of interests), and play a sexist pig in the Musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." (Mr. Gatch, if you were wondering.)
Hell week... Hell week is the week before the final production of the show. Our first performance is on the 19th, and hell week sets in. The musical becomes your life. You sleep, breathe, drink and eat the musical, because you are a part of it, and it is a cruel mistress. You don't have free time, and on the occasion that you do, you spend it sleeping or doing homework that you should have done a long time ago, but you see, you have the musical, and it takes up lots of time. Lots and lots of time. Hmm, what else? Oh, right, I'm really busy, and I've given up working on weekends, and I'm still sleep deprived, although I've weaned myself off caffeine pills after my Junior research paper was completed at 4:30 AM.
So, to bring this ramling update to somthing of a close and to make an attempt at allowing for meaningful responses, have you ever been in a musical or play, or had some other extracurricular take up all of your free time and more? Are you sleep deprived? Do you frequently find yourself surfing the internet during your lunch break because you have no computer or computer time at home? Do you frequently find yourself making semi-coherent posts on AGN filled with runon sentences? I'd think up some more questions but I'm tired and need to go to practice.
