Busy, Busy, Busy

Hey Everyone!

So today was one of the busiest days at the start of a really busy week. I swear, starting with a 11AM run through of my place I went nuts at getting up kind of early after getting to bed around 5AM. Play rehearsal went okay except at times I seriously am at times stumbling with my lines. I need to get this memorized soon, but with everything that happened this past week, my memorization only went so well. Plus, due to lack of sleep caused by overstimulation of my brain, I wound up late for said practice, but thankfully only by five minutes. It was probably the quickest I've ever gotten ready, had my shower, dressed, took a cab, and got there only ten minutes after I got up.

When I returned home I found that my friend had actually done quite a good job at cleaning the house, which she hadn't been doing the best job of prior to today. But now the kitchen feels so freaking empty as her roommate has taken a lot of his stuff.

My day ended with Fashion Show practice which was just constant walking. And then play rehearsal for the King's Drama group.

So that's a night now!

Tick Tock

Hey Everyone!

So today's day was a rather annoying as I had to keep getting up from bed when Varsity Rentals was showing my friend's place. Thing is, she's getting pretty pissed off about it because she's told the landlord she is staying and the law is that one cannot be evicted unless they've damaged property, caused dangerous problems for roommates or landlord, was consistently late paying rent, OR the landlord would have to use the house for a caregiver of a family member or a family member. In this case, it's none of these therefore the landlord can't evict my friend.

Aside from all this landlord nuisance, my day was pretty dull. It consisted primarily of studying my lines for the Purple Shorts play as I have a full run through tomorrow.

Other than that I suppose the only autistic-related thing that happened was the fact that I actually got on my friend's friend's case for drinking my apple juice. I mean for heavens sake, he's leaving the house and while we said we'd share food at times...now that he's leaving why should he be allowed to use my food or drink? I don't really think it's very fair.

Thanks for listening everyone!

Combo Day!

Hello everyone!

One thing, I just noticed it was posted on Thursday even though I posted it at like 10PM on Friday evening. But I suppose things like that happen on this site :P.

So I apologize for my lateness in my postings today and yesterday. It's been a busy type of day. Autism was sort of full blown the past two days both in my constant blaming myself, bringing up the same topic every five minutes despite having left it earlier. It's kind of a common thing for me because I just don't want to simply drop a topic until I've said every last think I can say about it.

Yesterday was mainly about buying clothes for the ceremony which I wound up not going to..., feeling slightly sick from staying up all night because of what I had found out about my friend Dan, whom I made a video of and his brother-in-law and sister asked to use it for Friday's ceremony. I wasn't able to attend the ceremony due to personal reasons that I don't wish to explain, but it was unfortunate.

As for today, quite boring up until 4 when I headed out with Lauren and our friend Tricia for dinner and movie. It was quite enjoyable as we saw Leap Year. Another good love story and romantic-comedy.

I can't really say much else but I'll keep everyone updated with my life :).

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.

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!

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!
