Still alive and wandering about through life...

Had to see a play at my university last night, don't know exactly how I felt about it, other than I felt racist because I didn't find it the least bit interesting. The main actress was amazing though. We had an earthquake yesterday morning and I woke up first thinking that a) watching Ghost Hunters had somehow influenced poltergeists to shake my bed, b) the mothership was landing to take me away and my father's conspiracy theories were true, c) the rapture was happening, d) a car had crashed into our house, e) a bomb exploded or plane crashed, and finally the last thought to occur to me was "OMG WTF is this an earthquake?!!?!?!??!" So yes. I thought about the absurd possibilities first rather than being intellectual about the whole thing. It only lasted 30 seconds, but I've never experienced an earthquake and where I live we only worry about tornadoes... I am almost done with finals and man, school is really eating up a lot of my damn time. I'm hoping to post more during the summer if I don't pick up a second job. I dunno yet...then again I should be working on my book. I just have to polish up my first one, send it off to the copyright office, and then for the next couple of years pull that starving artist bit where I send thousands of manuscripts out and when I'm lying on my deathbed, someone finally decides to publish it and my wealth and fame is posthumous. We all know that's how the world works right? Maybe not...I don't know what's in store for me in the end, so I have a small glimmer of hope. OH, I've recently discovered the musical and book of Wicked. It's pretty interesting to think of Oz in a much different manner than the 40 something books written about Oz and Dorothy and Ozma and the gang. But alas, I cannot write about anything else because I must be off on my own journey to work. Actually quick sort of funny story, I was opening the store one day and one of my co-workers came to the gate for me to let her in and without thinking about it, I said, "No one gets in to see the Wizard! No one, no how!" Yea...I suck. Later guys!!!!
