Subject:a slippery slope to talent
Time:9:40 pm.
Mood: embarrassed.
Music:comely.
so i had some exciting things planned for today. BUT i slept through them. actually only one thing to meet with career services. i had to reschedule for thurs at 11 now. but when i go in i won't tell lisa that i slept through the appointment but that i had the wrong time written down or something to make it seem not so completely negligent. good impression. that's exactly what it is.

i didn't do anything today. i sat around all day and ordered DP Dough for dinner. everyone is working on summer circle and that's busy. i thought it started on thurs but i guess it's wednesday now? that's sick odd.....?  so i'ma leave that alone

but now for lisa i at least have a copy of my resume and can post it on spartantrak before we meet and talk all about it. she's a hottie. and finally i need a shower. and i think i chipped some of the cement holding my wire in place in my mouth or knocked something loose after eating cause it feels gross odd now.

Subject:so you say you got it at the flea market? for how much?
Time:9:49 pm.
Mood: bouncy.
Music:rock star.
i'm back in lansing again for the week for the first time since graduation. i've come back every now and again but only for a day or two at the most. i've been doing a lot of visiting back mostly before and during memorial weekend. that was a big ol up north fest where i road four-wheelers and got sunburned on my arms. its just starting to peel now.

i feel like i've been so busy but i've really done pretty much nothing. haha (bittersweet). so i don't have a job yet and that is the main reason i'm here again. well that and summer circle this weekend. i'll probly go thursday and fri and i'll have to see Unwrap Your Candy during the final show.  but yeah i'm back to use the career services to assist me in finding a job. i know nothing like graduating prepared and ready to join the real world. 

but i'm gettin down to the wire now and i at least need to get some interviews lined up for this month because if i don't i'll have to go to Georgia for more visiting. Dads parent are down there and so is mom's sister. not that i don't like visiting either of them, but we'll go there for a week and the grandparents live up in the blueridge mountains. scenic and quiet but it gets boring fast. the nearest town, Ellie Jay, is about 20 minutes away and the biggest attraction there is a walmart. not even a super walmart. 

i've sent out some applications already for some realistic stuff and some stuff i know i won't get. like i sent out stuff for a customer representative like position but its more of a analyst/consulting position i guess than like answering phones. it was a lot of committee type work where you evaluate networks for clients. that place was in troy. i also sent in application material to OCCU (something something credit union) in waterford where they were looking for a new network administrator for the corporation (a senior management position) and i don't think i'll hear from them. i've also gone on monstertrak.com and usajobs.gov and made online resumes.  so i've also applied with US Customs to be a field technician (basically a highly trained office assistant) and i need to fax them a transcript by Friday. i'm going to apply for several positions with the FBI as well but i need to tweek my online resume for those to enhance relevance.

i haven't given up on acting but i don't even have enough money to drive to chicago and sleep in my car for auditions. so i need some savings first. yeah i know "what about detroit?" the theaters all told me the same thing, maybe because i don't have an in with any of them, "we keep a file of resumes and ask people to audition for shows." great. so right now i'm in limbo. hopefully i can find a job in the metro-detroit area with a little help from career services that will let me save some money for auditions and traveling. and if that goes poorly, then hopefully i'll be recruited by the government (the whole application process takes around a year because of all the checks they do) and can station myself in chicago or new york and still attend auditions that way.

so thats me since graduation. nothing much to tell really..... to digress. i really don't want to work at the mall or meijer or a restaurant. i have 2 frickin bachelor degrees with honors up the wazoo and not to sound uppity or cocky, but i'm above that now. its time to move on to a career or at the very least something that looks like one. but gimme a couple weeks if i still can't find a job then i might be changing my tune and knocking on restaurant doors like there's no tomorrow.

Subject:keeping up with the Jones'
Time:4:19 pm.
Mood: blank.
Music:hide and seek.
i've come to 3 realizations in the past few days.

1st - i can't use bath and body works country apple pore cleansing hand soap because i think it smells like liquor like a sweet whiskey like SoCo and it makes me ill to clean myself with it.

2nd - in "Shake that Ass" by Eminem ft. Nate Dog when Nate comes in and starts rapping with those numbers like "3 to the 1 to the 1 to the 3" he's actually calling out areas codes and not naming random numbers which never made sense to me

3rd - i can't afford life. i'll expound on that in a lil bit. but i have no money and i need some and a job for that matter. think i can still talk with career services people at MSU? i don't see why not. i need a better starting point that "Nowhere"

so life.

i went to Lifetime Fitness and had a physical assessment at the bequest of Brian.  my weight was in the lower part of the normal range. my cardio threshold or whatever you call it was above average. my flexibility was excellent. my arm strength was above average and there were like two other things that i scored excellent on during the tests. the trainer was very impressed and pleased and said i have more work to do outside the gym really in changing eating habits and stuff than inside it. Now Brian wants me to retake it. i think i did much better than he though i would. but either way i'll need to get a membership to Lifetime which the initial fee is like $300 or something with monthly fees of around $50. so that's a big expense. if i did this on top of the cost of what i'll talk about next my total for constant monthly costs (or charges incurred every month) would be roughly $200. so thats a lot to pay each month when you have no income.

NEXT....and this is the kicker. i went to the Columbia Center Buildings in Troy and had my free consultation with Bosley the Hair Restoration specialists. Long story short after the 1 1/2 hour interveiw and consultation, i would be a good candidate for hair restoration but since i'm still young they would not want to touch the bald spot area because they said it's unpredictable and could grow larger in subsequent years and treating it right now could leave me with a target on the back of my head if it grew larger. so for just doing the front and bringing down my hair line in the front where it's receded and filling in the top a little i would need 1000 to 1600 grafts. i'll give you a moment to think about how much that would cost.....done? $8,500 to $11,200 are the prices for that number of grafts. ridiculous. but they also talked a lot about propecia because that something that makes a good complement to the treatment. its like a newer better version of rogaine. its a pill you take and it has like a 90% success rate for keep the hair you have. and it's also fairly successful at regrowing hair in some cases but that's no where near 90%. they can supply prescriptions from their office which cost $180 for a 3 month supply. once you start you cannot stop using it or you will start losing hair again. it's basically permanent until you decide that you don't care about having hair anymore.   since i can't afford $8,500 to 11,200 right now i thought i would try propecia for a year or 2 and see what kind of results i get and then maybe if my hair is staying they would consider doing the back area bald spot in a procedure too.  insurance does not cover propecia because it's considered cosmetic and i'll pay $60 a month for that medicine. again can't afford life.

that's really all i've done of any interest since graduation. oh yeah and brian and i are going on another cruise in January which i would like to help pay for. there's another $2000 - 2500 expense right there (and that amount would only cover about half of the total cost of the trip too). money was never this important until now........ph.

Subject:loves it.
Time:9:02 pm.
Mood:hm..
so graduation happened today. 18 theater majors walked. i thought it was going to be kind of anti-climatic, but it really wasn't anti-climatic at all. i wasn't nervous before or during.

it was intense. like sitting in the audience before walking up there and all the noise and shuffling and everyone whispering. i was excited when we stood up to go to the stage. and there's murmuring and talking and then it was my turn.

dr. peters read my name and all i heard was silence. i know people were yelling and clapping and stuff cause i could hear it but at the same time i couldn't hear anything. i just walked in silence. the weird thing is it was all real cause people gave me things as i crossed and i have them to look at and touch. they shook my hand too. and eventually i'll get a picture proving everything. i can't believe it.

i was in this silent tunnel with people that i didn't know but who were happy for me and proud yet at the same time had a detached urgency about them to move me as quickly as possible.

before i gave my card to dr. peters i looked out at the audience. and different groups had different reasons for it but it was a sea of smiles that were genuine but tired. that's a good line "their smiles were genuine but tired."

Subject:it's official
Time:12:42 pm.
Mood: pissed off.
Music:there's no time.
so it's official. missy elliot said it herself.

yeah they blow kisses to me
cause i'm a lil cutie
and i'm not a lil floozy
i'm stingy with the booty.

i didn't sleep at all last night. i went to bed around 2 and pretty much just stared at my clock until after 9 cause my throat hurt so bad. every time i swallow it feels like i'm choking down a pine cone.

i got myself checked out too. and the doctor says i'm healthy as a horse..... a horse with streptococcus pyogenes bacteria infecting it's throat. i have some hard core antibiotics to take now so i can try to get better and graduate tomorrow.

how fucking ridiculous is this situation? the week of finals my senior year and i get strep throat 2 days before graduation.

all i want to do right now is just go beat somebody up. that would make me feel better. i'm so pissed.

Subject:buckling down (or maybe under)
Time:11:57 pm.
Mood:hold me.
so i wrote that paper. it wasn't as bad as all that. now i just have to study for ONE more exam. again i'm not feelin it. it's midnight and i'm a lil tired. i feel like going into this test with nothing would be stupid (for a review i mean, i think i know some of the stuff ok)

Artsbridge = WTF so dunzo. i gotta do that tomorrow afternoon too.

more importantly there's this final from 10-noon. i could really care less about my grade as long as i pass the class which i will. i know i'll study i'm stupid like that. maybe just not as much as i normally would.

all i want is to drink. i want to just grab some friends and drink and hang out and enjoy myself.  with that said don't be surprised if you get a call from me tomorrow or the next day asking just that.

my throat feels tight. i hope i'm not gonna get sick NOW of all times. or even worse.....allergies.

Subject:Take me out
Time:4:58 pm.
Music:let go.
Thats what I need right now, just take me out of it.

I hate when people get preachy or emotional or all deep and eclectic about their lives on LJ, but I'm gonna bend my own rule about that for this entry.

I saw the dance concert twice. one of the extra bonuses of the dance concert is you get to hear some sweet music which I then download. Frou Frou has been pumping into my head for some time now. it makes me nervous that it's so relevant.

I've also seen Take Me Out twice. (and the title refers to the philosophical idea behind the phrase and not the play itself) as good the show was i think the dance concert was more moving to watch. but maybe i'm just getting pensive.

everybody needs to talk and have their problems and concerns heard as small or stupid as they may be. it's always a big shock to me when i find out that other people have problems and insecurities. it shouldn't be but it is. i think people always feel alone in their problems because it's something that you own and completely belongs to you and is your responsibility. and then you feel like "it's my own personal problem and how can someone understand what is so unique to me." and when someone listens and understands it's more than therapeutic, it's a release because you're not alone in it anymore. what i'm trying to say is thank you.

shouldn't vulnerability be scary? so how come i'm not afraid? it's sort of ironic but the lack of fear is what scares me.

and i'm sure almost nobody will understand what i'm talking about but thats fine.

Subject:Ode to Tim
Time:6:59 pm.
Mood: sad.
this entry is for Tim because he's sad right now and so are me and Monica because tim's sad and can't come to the show with us.

Oh if a person there ever will be
Who makes us laugh and party
His name would be Tim Pare
And weak would be his game.

He can dance for life
But sometimes it runs his life
And he spends his life
Running his game.

We try to take him to the show
To watch the men take off all their clothes
But his spanish exam says "no no no"
Don't hate the player, hate the game.

There must be a way to cheer him up
We love him and that's the stuff
We'll come over later and fill his cup
And a 40 will bring back his game.

This is a poem about our friend
Who's responsibilities got him in the rear end
We hope that this poem his sadness will mend
And to end i'll use the word "game".

Nathaniel just called me and canceled rehearsal for his one act tonight.

After our conversation I recalled another we had had previously. It went something like this.

Nathaniel: "You know, the act of ejaculation is spelled c-o-m-i-n-g not c-u-m-m-i-n-g."
Chris: "Not at the websites I go to."
