King's Charity Fashion Show

Hey Everyone!

So wow, busy busy day it was. First off I had to get up at 9:30 which did not make me happy because I like sleeping in especially when I often don't get to bed until after 3am. My Dad and I had to head to London around 10:30 (hence the 9:30 wake up as it takes me an hour to actually pull myself out of bed, get my shower, brush my teeth, and get something to eat). We got to the venue with tons of time but only to find out barely anything was moving along. I don't understand why either since the girls should of gotten there at 9 and by 11:30 you'd figure their make up would all be done but it was BARELY halfway done. I was stunned to say the least. I wound up having to put posters on the doors as I waited for something to happen.

We finally got to go to lunch at 1PM, about a half hour later than we were suppose to but whatever. My friends from the show, David, Jenny, Kristina, Sherlrina and myself headed to the nearby Citi Plaza and grabbed some food to eat and then headed back to the venue because we were (hopefully) going to start a run through. We did, but man I don't understand why we didn't just do a complete run through and then fix what went wrong. It didn't really make sense because then we could get a sense of how to do it and then work on whatever went wrong. We also wound up having to wait for about an hour and a half till the show started since the run through of the scenes I was in had finished, but it took till basically the doors opening for it all to be done. And then we still had to wait an hour for the show to start. Luckily we got pizza for dinner so we at least had SOME food to tie us over.

The show I found went really well though. My scenes of Nike, Commander Salamander, Moore's (tuxedos), and the King's Pro Shop went great and I felt happy knowing I did a good job. We ended the show by having a procession of ALL the models and then gave flowers to Cheryl and Hayley the two commissioners in charge of the Fashion Show. Though I SERIOUSLY think they should be paid for this. I don't understand why the KUCSC doesn't realize that the show is a LOT of work, and it's constant work from October till March for heavens sake. The people in charge have to deal with fittings, and booking the venue, finding sponsors, finding the stores who want to have their clothes in the show, getting posters and tickets designed, choosing models and dancers, spending probably more than FORTY hours a week trying to get everything perfect. So if anyone from the KUCSC (aside from me :P) is reading my blog, I suggest you think about changing the Fashion Show Commissioners position to Coordinators so they can get paid the money they deserve because otherwise they're blowing blood vessels over the show that they're only volunteering to do. Got it? Good.

ANYWAY,
Once the show was over, it was a relief that now all my non-school events were over and now just to focus on school...yay. Why can't I just become and actor or model instead of this? I love acting and modeling and such about a million times more than school....but oh yeah....it's really hard to make a great paycheck from acting/modeling so I have to go to school to get a fall-back....Woo hoo...

Well that's all for tonight. And if you can't figure out the autism part, well I suppose I'll tell you another time :P

God of War 3!

Hey Everyone!

I am so sorry for not posting this yesterday as I had planned to. I just got back to St. Thomas and completely forgot to post so I guess it happens. Yesterday wasn't a big deal anyway, I basically helped sell Fashion Show Tickets for about an hour and a half, and then followed it up by leaving London and class really early to head home back to St. Thomas.

I saw Alice in Wonderland yesterday too which was just as great the second time as it was the first time. Johnny Depp was weird as usual but that is his general character in Tim Burton films anyway :P.

I also finally got to begin playing God of War 3 which was absolutely amazing, and still is as I'm still playing it. It's just beyond amazing, the graphics are refined, the control is easy to get use to, and I gotta say, killing the Greek Gods is fun especially with how you kill them in the game. :P It's one of the few brutal type games I'm into, and I don't know why. I guess because it mixes a great plot with lots of action, two things I love in my games. I suppose I did go on about it a bit too much to my parents of course, but that's just the "autism in me" :P.

That's all for yesterday lol.

You Are My Sunshine

Hey Everyone!

Today was a relatively slow day frankly. I had to go to my final fitting at Commander Salamander, a store that sells somewhat alternative clothing. I'm just going to be wearing a normal pair of jeans that are my own, but a brownish beige button up shirt. I have to say though, with it being St. Patrick's Day, London students have basically gone completely insane. I swear there were some guys asking people to show them their bodies if they weren't wearing green.

Really the only other part about today I guess was going out to dinner with my friend. Just went to Jack Astor's and it was fun. That's basically it about the dinner. I'm looking forward to tomorrow though because I'll be home and can play God of War 3, Final Fantasy 13, and I'm just totally happy about that of course. Right now however I'm playing Pokemon SoulSilver and about to watch New Moon which I got early because of pre-ordering it online. It's so nice knowing that I have a movie most people won't get until Saturday :P.

Finally, the only thing related to autism that happened today was when I was chatting with the coordinator for the Fashion Show, I told her how I felt as though the DJ for the show didn't like me for some reason. But she reassured me that as long as I hadn't done anything, there was no point in thinking that he was mad at me, which I suppose is completely true.

So I guess that's it for today.
Night all!

I Said I'm Walkin Down the Street with my Nike's On

Hey Everyone!

So semi-busy day today I have to say. Today was the day I had to pick up my tuxedo for the Fashion Show and at the same time pick up God of War 3 since it was just released. I can't play it at the moment sadly since I'm in London for tonight and tomorrow, but soon as I'm home, you can guess what I'll be doing :P It was surprising to me though that despite it being the release of the game, there was no line up whatsoever when I got there around noon so go figure.

The rest of the day basically just consisted of classes and fashion show practice. My solo for Music class, "Summertime" went really well. They basically said that I knew exactly how to project my voice this time and I had a great balance between both my high notes and my low notes which really made me happy. 90% or higher here I come :P.

As for Fashion Show practice, it was just a complete run through of the entire show, with one scene after another in the order it had to be in. The title of this post is due to the title of a song that basically goes with one of the stores I'm modeling for.

I suppose that's basically it aside from talking too much to one of my fellow models. (This would be my autistic thing for today :P)

That's all for tonight!

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!

I'm Freaking Out

Hey Everyone!

So I woke up today at 12:00PM and watched MadTV before heading over to King's to sign up for my Soph interview as I got into the next level of the Soph application process which made me quite happy. After I signed up for that I went to the library to print off my tickets for my friend Brittany and I to go see Alice in Wonderland as we're seeing it Friday since I work the First-Year Ball on Saturday so I can't go with Lauren and others that night.

After this I had class at 3:30PM and then headed home briefly before heading to my vocal coaching sessions at the Music Building. Then I spoke with my ensemble partner Jennifer to decide which song to do, which will most likely be Come What May from Moulin Rouge.

After this I headed to Fashion Show practice which went pretty well, and I ended by working on the posters for the Fashion Show. It's stressing me out so bad but luckily Pat (the KUCSC President) said he'd take the work I did, and then just finish it up. I just hope he does it the right way.

Autism-wise, I both have been letting the stress overwhelm me because I'm not letting myself breathe or any of the things I was told to do to help prevent my stress from getting overwhelming. There also was the usual following the structure of my blog as always. :P

Night all!

Sorry for Being Sorry

Hey Everyone!

So I didn't do my post yesterday due to exhaustion on my part. I had woken up at 8AM on Sunday and headed to final dress rehearsal at the UCC at 9AM for the play. I then headed back to the house for a short time until the Fashion Show shoot which I still felt odd about being in a tank top as I'm not like super fit or anything. After that I had students council which was the USC Presidential debate, and then finally followed dby a LONG LONG LONG play practice. The directors have decided to make practice 6:30-11 now which is freaking ridiculous no matter how much practice they thing we need, it is still completely ridiculous.

Today on the other hand, I woke at 12PM and quickly went to Kings to do some business that needed...doing, and then headed back home for a bit. At 2:30PM my parents and I went out shopping and had dinner, and then just headed back home. Around 6:30PM I headed to speech class which I'll be doing my speech on the Monday after reading week. Then at 8:30PM I headed to the UCC as it was time for the production. We went on at 10PM and it went wonderfully, and now I'm home and just relaxing after a good day's work.

I only had autism related things when I was with my parents and kept talking despite the fact I knew I could of just cut it short. But oh well.

That's all for today!

Improv Insanity

Hey Everyone!

I woke up at 12PM and had my usual shower and then hopped a cab to Masonville as I had to pick up a wife beater shirt for the Fashion Show photo shoot tomorrow. I then got my hair cut too for the same reason and then hopped a cab back to the UCC for play rehearsal.

When I got to the UCC, play rehearsal went really well. I actually have all my lines memorized I now just need to work on not sounding like a stand up comic but sounding like I'm joking with a friend.

Following this, one of my co-stars Joel drove me home and we discussed the annoying elections of the University Students Council President election. I don't really know why this whole thing annoys me, but probably because each UWO President generally has never works on producing anything they promise so really, how can we trust them?

Once I got dropped off, I headed to the Improv show which went really well and was so much fun.

After that I headed home and here I am, 3AM, I have to be up for dress rehearsal at 8AM, so I'm basically...screwed.

Night Everyone!

Just Can't Get Enough

Hey Everyone!

So I was up extremely late studying my Personality Theory notes and then headed to the doctor's office at 9AM. IWhile there turns out I was right that I was worry about nothing.

I got home about 9:30 and fell asleep till 2PM. I then got up and finished up the last of my studying. I then finished up my speech for tomorrow's class.

Around 6:30 I headed to the model practice and I did okay but I need to work on not swinging my arms too much and relaxing my shoulders. I did apparently very well in the tryout but today it was just so-so, so basically I just have to improve.

After tryouts I headed home and watched Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters. I'm now about to head to bed hence the extremely quick post.

Night all!
