I'm a Freak Baby

Hey Everyone!

So good day today minus one downside. I had a relaxing beginning to the afternoon, just watching some television and also getting my Project Runway Season 4 DVD :P. Then it was the lovely time of running errands. Going to the bank, then going to EB Games to pick up Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Then it was off to Superstore for grocery shopping however they didn't have the jam or crackers I wanted which meant it was off to metro (it has no capital M) to get those items plus a couple of other things. I then finally headed over to get my dog Scout from the kennel but then realized I still needed to get him food so once I picked up Scout I got the food and headed home.

I mowed the lawn today which also was a dumb idea doing it in 27 degrees Celsius weather. I swear I nearly passed out because of my stupidity. Luckily the mower decided to stop itself so I was done for the day.

The rest of the night was watching tv, including the AMAZING Gaga Glee episode. I just loved it to DEATH!

Autism-wise, I suppose the only thing that happened was when talking to my mother on the phone about the lawn and such, I didn't know when to cut it short so I almost started rambling till my mom said she had to go.

That's basically it!

SCAVENGER HUNT!

Hey Everyone!

Today was so much fun it wasn't even funny...wait that's maybe a bit of an oxymoron but whatever. Anyway to begin with, unfortunately my whole interview with Miss World Canada contestant Andrea Sarevec didn't happen because she never showed up...how unprofessional, especially when the competition is also for charity and she was suppose to be here promoting said charity. Anyway, I did however get to interview people from the Western Spur club which basically was a combo of philanthropy, sports, etc.

Once that was done I got some time back at home to study for my exam and then lost a $1.80 from the library because their damn printers were out of change! And what's more I lost $5.00 later in the day for what I'll explain in the next paragraph.

Around 5PM it was time for the (loosely affiliated) King's Players Scavenger Hunt. This consisted of things we had to do from proposing to someone in public, to doing the Macarena, to telling truths about ourselves, to rolling down UC Hill. Plain and simply, it was a blast. And for the first time in a long time, I won something, my team won the "competition". So I was thrilled. Following this lovely experience, we watched the videos of our journeys, and then the Making of Looking Glass Land (the play we put on in February). It was a great time and though we didn't finish till about 2:30, it was just a thrill. So I have to say I can't wait for the production next year!

Hope everyone had a great day! And no autism today, because I really just want to explain how much fun and not say what brought the day down possibly because nothing did. It was just an amazing time!

Night everyone!

Falling Asleep

Hey Everyone!

So I'm going to make this quick since I've been slowly falling asleep during the day. It was a relatively easy day, since I had no classes or anything like that. I headed up to Main however as I had to pick up a DVD of my Purple Shorts production and then do my self-evaluation of my final solo which wasn't SO bad. I then headed back to King's and got back home.

I didn't really do TOO much aside from study for my classes, finish my Ethics Proposal and that was basically it. Oh and I get to interview a girl who is in the top 10 of Miss World Canada tomorrow around noon which I think is great. It's my first interview with TV Western and I'm quite happy since TV Western is shutting down so I get one of the last interviews!

Autism-wise, I stayed up way too late. I just can't really think of anything else as my brains practically dead :P.

Night everyone!
Sean

Believe in Yourself

Hey Everyone!
So Thursday was a good day for sure. I definitely had a lot of fun because of two main reasons.

The first is because I had my audition to be on the Big Purple Couch (the official talk show of the University Students Council at my school) as a co-host and I thought it went so much better than last year. Last year I stumbled a bit, wasn't sure what to say, and was nervous quite a bit. THIS year however I had so much fun with it. I went up there and just chatted with the host Ali as though I'd known her for a while and actually got to know her more through the conversation. I don't know yet if I'll actually get the position as there were 17 people trying out including me and that's going to be difficult to decide from but I do hope mine was one of the top choices :P.

The other reason that I had fun but also experienced a bit of sadness was because I had my first executive council meeting of King's Players (myself having been made Vice-President of Membership Affairs and Attendance) which went quite well. We went over the agenda which I thought was very well laid out and I'm now just absolutely thrilled about King's Players next year. We also had our final King's Players meeting of this year which is the sad part because it means I have to wait five months before I get to return to improv :(. It was still a lot of fun, and the visit to Christina's Pub once more was fun as always. I'm going to miss it a lot but at least we still have the scavenger hunt next week which will go okay I think unfortunately for us our weather drops down to 9 degrees Celsius, whereas today it was 20 degrees Celsius so it's going to be unfortunate that the temperature chooses that night to drop. But at least it's not in the negative numbers or even low single digits.

Autistic-wise I think the only thing that might have happened was me doing my whole getting aggravated when I'm trying to say something and the person who is talking keeps talking and to me I'm sitting there thinking "LET ME TALK!". But I suppose that's how it goes.

Night Everyone! Also the post for Friday I won't be able to write until later because well I'm going to bed (it's actually Saturday early morning right now as I write this :P)

It's Almost Over!!!

Hey Everyone!

So I am proud to say that my music test has been completed and I think I did fairly well at it! What's more, I only have two more assignments left. First I have to get my manuscript speech finished, and then have my Ethics Proposal, the final assignment for my Research Methods class due on the Wednesday.

My day was pretty uneventful because all I did was see Valentine's Day again which I must say was just as funny the second time around as it was the first time. I have to say though, I really wish there was a way for me to get into acting though. I love movies so much, but what's more, I love acting a hundred or thousand times more. Obviously I'm in University to get a degree so I have a fall back, but really I couldn't see myself doing anything but acting if I had the chance, it just means that much to me. It brings a joy to my life I didn't even think possible, and I just wish it were easier to get into the business so I could have that joy every day.

Anyway, autism-wise I don't think much happened except stressing more than I should have about my music test. But I suppose that's life and you just have to live with it.

Thank-you once again people for reading my blog. I'm glad you seem to be enjoying it so much and coming back. Especially my readers from Massachusetts and other areas of the States and Canada and anywhere else people are reading from!

Night Everyone!
Sean

Election Day!

Hey Everyone!

So I'm going to try and switch up the format again just because I figure I might as well try. It was a busy day more or less with the Students Council VP Elections and me having stayed up all night writing my speech for it. The council meeting lasted from 10:30AM all the way till 5:30PM which I have to say was annoying as all hell. I ran for Vice-President Operations, in other words the person in charge of the policies, clubs, the King's rink, the Regis (a news publication), and the website. I felt I did quite well for the debate, and while I lost, I felt it still was an exhilarating experience. I definitely have to say it was something I don't regret. The funny thing about me is I never give up, ever. I do whatever is in my power until I achieve it or get close to it because that's the type of person I am. This probably could come in handy though since I do want to be an actor so badly and after all, to get into acting there is one of two things you would need. Either you need connections, or you need persistence because the fact is you're going to be trying over and over again to get a role. Not everyone gets accepted right off the bat, even Jim Carrey tried fifty million times before he got to where he is today. Though to be clear, I'm finishing my Psych degree first because I feel I need to finish it before anything else, so I have a potential backup.

The only other thing I guess I can talk about is that our Fashion Show is coming up next week. I'm ecstatic about it, and I think it's just amazing that this was my first time trying for it and I still made it in. What's more, the commissioners in charge of it seem quite pleased with me and thanked me for being reliable. Frankly, I find people who are just here one day, and then gone another just does not help get anything done.

So I suppose those are my thoughts today. If you can't tell what my autistic aspect I was outlining was my ongoing persistence in trying time and time again. I know some people would say that many people have that but mine basically surpasses that. It's simply as though where a lot of people eventually say enough is enough, I never can. It's just what makes me, me.

So that's all tonight!
Hope you think I did do a better format :P

Time Goes By So Slowly

Hey Everyone!

So I woke up at 11:30AM and headed to a recital that I needed to critique for my music class. I then headed back home and played God of War till 4:30PM.

We headed to the school for closing night which went amazingly! It was a great performance and I finally got a chance to meet Lauren's father and the rest of her family I hadn't met yet.

After this we headed home and I played God of War for another hour until Lauren, Ash and Roxanne came and got me to head to the Cast Party. About five minutes into the party I got a call and had to head to St. Thomas because my grandfather had been taken to hospital and my parents were not in St. Thomas so they wouldn't have been able to make it there. So after I found out Gramps was fine, I headed back to London and here I am.

Autism-wise, the only thing that happened was well...the structure of this post, and when I was speaking with some cast members I couldn't get off a particular topic like I often do.

That's all for tonight, even though it's day!

Living on a Prayer

Hey Everyone!

So I'm skipping the post for yesterday as it wasn't really all that great a day :P. I woke up today at 9AM after heading to bed at midnight. I headed over to Lauren's at 10:00AM and we headed on our way to the school (Central) as we had a Matinee to do at 1PM. It went fairly well, but became rather sad when our audience left before we even finished because their school was over. So we finished that up, and headed out to lunch.

Lauren, Tricia and a few others headed to Crabby Joe's and I got just some cheese bread. Could barely eat it thought because it was so greasy and I don't need fully clogged arteries thanks. We then headed back to the school for our next show, Opening Night.

The show went amazingly. It was a great performance, and it seemed like people really enjoyed it.

After the show we headed back out to Crabby Joe's for dinner. I had the Haddock Fish and Chips, and it was quite good indeed, and definitely outside of my norm. We then headed back home.

Autism-wise, I actually BROKE one of my quirks. Generally I will only eat certain foods when I go to certain restaurants, like Grilled Cheese. But I decided to finally go with something I generally don't have and had the Fish and Chips. Surprisingly, I really liked them. I definitely was very happy that I had finally broke one of my quirks.

That's all for tonight!

Feed the Birds, Tuppence a Bag

Hey Everyone!

I woke up at 1:00PM and did my usual shower and such. I then watched MadTV and followed it up by Daily Show and Colbert Report for some last minute laughs before my day turned on the decline.

I headed to King's as it was finally time for my Clinical Psychology exam. I am hoping I did a good job, as a lot of questions I kept thinking "this is all in order of what I studied".

After class, I took a cab up to Central Secondary as it was time for the play, but turns out most people had gone out to dinner. So here I am at the school ready to go, and everyone else is out. So I sat and had dinner at the school with my friend Alex as we waited for them to get back. The practice/rehearsal went pretty well, and my costume changes went fine. Wednesday is the dress rehearsal so it kind of has to work out other wise. But you know what they say, "crappy dress rehearsal, amazing opening night" so here's hoping tomorrow goes horribly :P.

Once practice was over, Lauren, Tricia and I took the bus to the main gates and then briefly got some food from the variety store nearby. We then headed home and here I am.

Anyway that's all for today!
Sean

Summertime

Hey Everyone!

I woke up at 12:00PM and had my usual shower and everything. I then headed out for a meeting at 1PM. Following this I headed up to Masonville Mall as I had to do some shopping. I had to buy some shorts to go with the tights for my costume for the play and an apron. I then grabbed some milk and toilet paper before heading home.

I got back home, with my finger blowing a blood vessel or something from carrying the milk with one finger, which resulted in my finger feeling numb for an hour. I watched some television and studied a bit for my exam tomorrow.

At 6PM I headed over to Lauren's to head to Speech class and then we got there and it had actually been our professor evaluation, which meant we couldn't stay and Lauren couldn't do her speech. So we let our Professor know whom was in another room and then headed out the door. We had to pack up several bundles of branches from trees for the play as the trees needed branches. We got to the venue, and it's quite a great stage. I really hope everything goes well with it.

I got home around 9:30PM and here I am.

Autism-wise, I suppose only thing that happened was me keeping to the normal structure of my blog. I wish I could separate from this but it's just not me.

Night all!
Sean

Just Another Picture to Burn

Hey Everyone!

I woke up at 3:00PM and got ready for play practice later that night. I worked on my study notes for my exam Tuesday. At 6:15PM I headed over to Lauren's and we headed over to play practice. It went pretty well frankly, and I got a chance to slip next door for Fashion show practice. We finally got onto actual practice of the play at 8:40. I then headed home after practice and here I am. I'm sorry that this post is so extremely short.

Autism-wise there was really only the structure of this post.

Sorry again!

This is My Time To Shine!

Hey Everyone!

So I woke up at 10:30 and quickly talked to my Mom. I then had to do some stuff for the KUCSC website as I'm the designer for it..I then got ready to head out and met my friend Brittany at King's to head to Masonville. We headed there and saw Alice in Wonderland which was a fantastic movie. Classic Tim Burton, and just full of "naughtiness" (see the trailer to know why I put that in quotes).

After Alice, Brittany and I walked around to try and find some black tight athletic pants for me for my upcoming play as tights didn't fit. Surprisingly, I can't buy them either as they were over $50 which I'm not paying for something I'll only wear for three days...not saying I don't exercise, but I wouldn't wear those pants even if I did a lot of running like they're used for.

I then headed to play practice at 4PM and we did quite a good run through. But there was a bit of lacking emotion. It still was quite a good performance though. I then headed home and here I am watching Miss Congeniality on Showcase Diva. (Yes you may laugh :P).

That's all for tonight!

Cause When You're Fifteen

Hey Everyone!

So I woke up at 12PM after a 12 hour sleep and had my usual shower. I watched television for a while and then headed to my Psych of Work class which wasn't bad for once. We watched a clip from Braveheart, followed by a clip from Devil Wears Prada (one of my favourite movies). Lauren and I then walked back to her place before I headed home for my first night off in a while. Even though I'll need to get back to studying for Tuesday's exam, I just decided to take tonight off as I had spent the past couple days both studying and writing a silly Research paper.

Around 9:55PM, I headed to Lauren's so we could head over to King's Players. We had some fun, and I played Pocket Lines (a game where you act out a scene and insert in one of the lines on the slips of paper you picked out). There were other games we played, but not as many on stage ones, more "In the Manner of the Word" or "Molecules".

After KP we headed to Christina's Pub for a little while, and chatted. I then grabbed some groceries from the variety store and Lauren, Ashley and I headed home. Now that's where I am, playing Matrix: The Path of Neo.

Night all!

Looking Through Your Eyes

Hey Everyone!

So I woke up at 1:00PM and watched MadTV. I then had my shower and everything else and headed to class.

Psych of Work was boring as always, and then I headed out to Huron College for my Soph Carousel. Sophs are the people who help integrate the First-Year students into life at my university. So we then basically did different activities. This included problem-solving, cheer-making, values judgment, and just leadership activities. It was all a lot of time even if it did take four hours.

I then headed back to King's for King's Players, and headed back home after words.

Autism-wise still another sticking to this whole schedule :P of writing my blog.

Night all,
Sean

The Day You Slipped Away

Hey so how was my day you might ask? It's quite simple, lame as anything. Whether waking up from a phone call at 12PM to dealing with my friend's landlord, it was anything but not exciting.

Class happened at 5:30 and was quite boring because all we learned about was measurements for Psychology Research. Following this class I went home and chatted with my mother a bit and now watching television.

Autism-wise, I was also just worried I was stressing my friend Lauren out with some matters that I can't discuss on here, which was pretty silly.

However, there was one thing that happened tonight after I posted this. I found out that a friend both Lauren and I had...had passed away. We found out from his best friend and he was only 25...I only knew him for a short while. Sure lots of talking on MSN but Lauren and I only met him in person once, but he was one of those people who you can't help but call your friends even if you hang with them for one day. If any of my friends reading this are wondering why they haven't heard of him before it was because while he was a really good person, I have a lot of friends and acquaintances so it's sometimes difficult to talk about all of them and since he didn't go to Kings or Western like most of my friends, he went to Fanshawe, so I never really had to bring him up. However, I'm still pretty sad about this as this has been the first friend I've ever really lost permanently. Not someone who just drifted away because of going to different schools or just different interests, but one I'm never actually going to see again.

I Am Changing

So I'm going to try and change it up today. I am actually kinda tired of using the same thing over and over again. Yes I got up at 1PM like usual however I'm not going to give you a chronological detailed post about my whole day.

Learning about Clinical Psychology (my first class of the day) is definitely interesting, especially when our guest speaker arrived. We got to hear about what she does for a living, which included helping teens who are going through psychological issues including both suicide and even hearing voices in one's head. I found her an extremely interesting guest speaker and definitely wouldn't have passed that class up.

For Vocal Music class I got a chance to sing my solo, just 8 measures, and then listened to other people. Many people, including myself, need work, though some more than others but not trying to be rude. I've had ten years of professional singing training so hopefully that entitles me to critiquing without sounding like a jerk. I then found my partner, Jessica, for the ensemble piece we have to do from class. I suggested True Colours though we may do something from musical theatre which could just be as good. We even joked about doing a duet of Popular from the Broadway smash hit, Wicked. :P

As for autism today, it was a matter that I swear I thought I was bothering the girl I sat next to in music class as it seemed like I was annoying her. Hopefully not, but yeah that was the only thing :P

Have a great night everyone, and I hope you liked the format of this post.

Sean

Gimme a Break

Hey Everyone!

So I woke up today around 1PM and did my usual prepping for the day. At 4:10PM I headed up to main campus for a music lesson, and while I was early, I got the chance to practice with my accompanist.

Following this I headed back to Kings for my Speech class, starting with my classic rhetoric test. It was quite a short lasting test and I finished in twenty minutes because it was basically based on the sheet we had been given so it was mainly a memorizing sort of test.

During speech class, we finished the monologues with me finding out I got 90% on my monologue last week! We also then talked about our next speeches which were going to be persuasive speeches. We then told some speeches to get people emotionally invested, but they were so depressing that it just drained my energy from me...

I then went over to Lauren's for a bit and just chatted about some things. And then headed home where I am now.

Autism-wise I think the only thing that happened was I let the influence of television and internet keep my brain over-stimulated. Hence I got to bed at 5AM which is why I'm so tired right now.

But anyway,
Night all!
Sean

Hold Your Dreams, Don't Ever Let It Go

Hey Everyone!

So I got up at 9AM and had my usual shower. Following said shower, I got ready to head to London as I had a LOT to do today.

At 10:30 my parents took me to London and at 12PM I had my Acting workshop. We learned a lot about facial and body expressions. We also learned about pretending to have an emotion we didn't have, such as insincerity which I tend to overplay it a little...

After the workshop, I had practice for Purple Shorts. This one went till five o' clock because we got locked out of the room for around an hour or so. I think I'm getting there but I need to still work on being off-book and not over expressive.

Once practice was done I headed to Students council at 6:30PM. While there was ONE specific motion I wanted revoked I won't really know how that went since I left early.

After council, I headed home and waited for Desperate Housewives, however turns out it was a repeat because of football tonight.

Autism-wise, I got worked up because it was such a long day. It took quite a bit of time for me to calm down because I had so much stimulation during the day.

That's all for tonight!
Sean

This is What Dreams Are Made Of

Hey Everyone!

Okay so what happened today...hmm. I woke up at 11AM and headed to the shower as usual and then headed out at 12PM to pick up Chris. I took him to Wendy's again, and then we headed to the mall. While there I got our movie tickets to The Tooth Fairy while he went to the bookstore to look around. When I went to get him, as usual I found him in the baby/toddler/children books section. (We're talking Dora the Explorer, and the ten page cartoon books of different movies). So then I took him with me when he was finished back to the theatre and we went in to see The Tooth Fairy.

The movie was actually really good, and while the critics hated it, if you have kids I'd definitely take them to see it, and you might even like it too. Myself, I love movies like that so I didn't mind one bit seeing it.

After the movie I took Chris to Rogers to drop off the movies I rented, and then took him home. I then headed up to Scotiabank to do some financial business and yeah, turns out they're closed on Saturdays unlike TD Canada Trust. (And no, it wasn't after hours, they're actually closed Saturdays -_-).

ANYWAY, I headed home and watched television, played Kingdom Hearts 2, and now I'm watching Ice Princess :P. I also found out I got the position of Website Commissioner on Students Council!

That's all for tonight!
Sean

Scotty Doesn't Know, so Don't Tell Scotty!

Hey Everyone!

Short day today for the blog so everyone knows. I woke up at 1PM though I wound up sleeping actually till 2PM. I had my usual shower and then headed downstairs to watch television until close to 4PM.

I picked up Chris at 4PM and headed to Wendy's with Chris. We then went to Pinafore Park, then followed it by going to my house to watch FAME.

After work, I headed home to have dinner (Pot Roast with Mashed Potatoes), and played Avatar The Game. I have to say, for such a fantastic movie, they created quite a horrible game. You wind up dying in a battle with a soldier just because of the guns, its pretty pathetic you can die so easily in around five seconds. Now here I am, watching Eurotrip.

Autism-wise, the only thing that really happened was my disruption of sleep today. My brain stayed active till around 5am and as a result couldn't relax so that I could get to sleep. Obviously it was unfortunate because it just sucks not being able to get to sleep. The only good thing, was that I didn't have to get up until around 2. It sucks though because tomorrow I need to be up for 12PM (meaning 10AM wake up) as I'm taking Chris to see The Tooth Fairy.

Night all!
Sean

PS: Oh and unfortunately I still don't know yet if I got Students Council yet so I'm still waiting....
