I think that the segment from Merchant of Venice will be my monologue at auditions in August. I don't know what the play will be yet, but I am so very desperate to get a major role, you know? It'll be my senior year and all, and I'm going to give it all I've got. Of course, I have no idea what the first play will be next year ... but hey, I'll find out by the middle of July ... or ... whenever I actually get around to IMing my director. Went shopping today ... yes, I did. I needed ... pants. Khakis, more specifically. Khakis and slacks. Got myself a nice pair of camouflage green pants - draw string and everything. What, with one of David's ARMY tees, this should be fun. Like anyone would believe a little pipsqueak like me ever made it through basic, but hey ... I think of it as a tribute. I'm proud to have a brother in the reserves. Of course ... I don't know what I would do if he was ever called back to duty and ... I don't want to think about that right now. He was in communications anyway. People are like "Oh! I didn't know David was in the ARMY." Well, yeah, he was ... private first class specialist ... thing. We don't talk about it that much. Just, you know, when he has to go off for a weekend or for those two weeks or ... yeah. I said I didn't really want to think about this kind of stuff right now. I'm not up on all of this ARMY lingo and, yeah, I don't really understand or actually KNOW much of anything that goes on in David's life so ... yeah. I'm in a good mood ... surprise, surprise. Maybe it's the pants ... or maybe it's the fact that I'm talking to both Lindsay AND Melissa at the same time!!!! This is a good moment - so please, let me savor it. I love you all. Blessed be. Total Eclipse of the Heart Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes Turn around bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart Turn around bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes Turn around bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart Turn around bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart And I need you now tonight And I need you more than ever And if you'll only hold me tight We'll be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right Cause we'll never be wrong together We can take it to the end of the line Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks I really need you tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Once upon a time I was falling in love But now I'm only falling apart There's nothing I can do A total eclipse of the heart. Once upon a time, there was light in my life, But now there's only love in the dark. Nothing I can say, A total eclipse of the heart.
