my journal about stuff

[seanofsteel7]

Well, I guess this is my journal...So I better start writing.

I know it might sound stupid, but improv is what keeps me going. If I was stuck in this house all week long I would probably go crazy. I know most of my problems aren't as bad as others, but I still hate being home with my family.

Anywho...today went pretty good. What a relief! I went to improv workshop today at OTW. It was pretty good. We learned how to use body language in scenes today. Adam had us do two person scenes where we could only use the first three lines we said in that scene. I didn't really like my first scene because Wacey is too quiet...he just stares at me the whole scene. Then the second scene I forgot my lines, but it went pretty well. We also did a long form called a Diggler. It was pretty fun to play, i think i've improved on my loudness level, but sometimes I slip.

I was pretty bummed to go home, cause usually it's like heck here at home. It hasn't been bad today...yet. My dad usually always thinks I'm some sort of reject because I am on the computer all night long instead of sitting down-stairs with my family. Sorry, but I don't like watching TV. My whole family treats me way different from my brother. Anyways, enough of my rambling on.

ADIOS! :banana:

Hey, I'm back.

I just feel like saying this right now, these are the people that make me happy to be at improv and make me feel good about my improv:
Adam
Megan
Camille
Austin (he's gone now.. )

Thanks you guys!

All day I have been thinking about improv...I have an urge to do it where ever I am. I'll be sitting at school and feel like I need to do improv, but I can't. No one is there to do it with. At least I have choir to keep me happy through the day.

Well, I got to leave...adios! :banana:

Sorry I haven't written in awhile...

Anywho, today in Math, I was thinking about improv and some other things, and something absolutely HILARIOUS came up and I just started laughing and everyone stared at me like I was going crazy. At least I thought it was funny.

Stupid brother of mine just started throwing up. If I get sick, I will have to kill him (metaphorically speaking). I cannot miss improv or school. All my friends are there. I feel comfortable there.

I have been having some thoughts about the people at improv. I don't think I have "Friends" there... I would consider them "Buds"... I see it this way.. Friends are people that you hang out with and talk to about problems. Buds are just people you see and talk to.

Well, I'm leaving.
Adios! :loopy:

Well, today, things went pretty darn good.

I laughed at something inside my head at school again...everyone stares again :bleagh:

But, I went to improv workshop today. It was a really small class at first. Just me, Derek, Aidan, Eric, Wacey, and I think the other kid is named allen. We warmed up with "vroom"...Bobo and some girl came in during that. Then we did some two-person scenes...they were pretty fun. But in the middle of my scene, this group of kids came in screaming and yelling...that pissed me off. They are a bunch of newbies. They don't really learn well either. Anywho....after the scenes we played some line games, "Good News/Bad News", "Scenes not seen", and "World's Worst".

I then did a Murder Mystery...this one went a lot better than the past ones I have done. But it wasn't great...Oh well, no one is perfect. I'll try better on Saturday.

I wish workshop would be longer. It would give everyone more opportunity to get up and improvise. You could probably accomplish a lot more in 3 hours than in 2. 2 hours just fly by WAY too fast. :wave:

Well, I'm going to leave you now! :banana:

Summary of the past days in 2 paragraphs..

Sorry, i haven't written here for awhile...

last tuesday, me and eric went to a Linkin Park concert. It kicked butt. I really wanted general admission so bad, but it didn't happen. Then on friday I went and watched the OTW show in Ogden. It was pretty good. I finally figured out who Scottie Rockstar was.

Saturday kicked butt. Except for the few things that sucked. I went to OTW workshop and we decided to cancel. that sucked. Then i went to a stake dance. I met up with this girl Megan. She's so awsome :inlove: .

well, i gtg, adios!

life is stupid

Well, what can I say about my life since my last post, except...Life is a waste of time.

That girl I mentioned earlier...she dumped me.
That improv I mentioned earlier...for me, it's not happening any time soon. I might have to give it up. Yes, I am being FORCED to give up improv.

9 months of practice...haven't been in one freakin' show. :tsk:

Ever since Austin Nava left Utah, my chance at doing improv is prolly 1 in a billion+. No one shows for practices anymore, ALL cancelled. We used to have 20+ frickin' people EVERY practice. Now we're lucky to get 2.

Well, there's a dance this friday. Wouldn't be surprised if that went wrong too.

Well, i gotta go. Adios

Sorry...

Sorry what I said in my last post. I prolly won't give improv up. I'm trying to organize my own classes since people won't come to the other ones. I smelt my first smell of improv since forever, yesterday. I was walkin down the halls during lunch and we saw that the drama room had improv going on, so I went in and watched. Too bad it wasn't the best kind of improv: Longform. I don't think I've done a long form since January.

January was about the time when austin nava left this place and began life anew. I think he was the one bringing everyone to class. There used to be 15-25 people per class every saturday...it has now been reduced to 3 people the past 2 months. Some people tell me that it's because people have jobs and lives to live...that's bullshit. I find it weird that everyone seemed to have time for improv and just all of a sudden have jobs to work at...and places to go. Sorry for swearing. I don't do that often, but whatever.

I think there has been a lack of committment. Austin Nava said this the day before he left, "Stay with this troupe, don't leave because I'm gone." I did what he said, because I trust Austin. I think he's a great guy. But Adam, Caleb, and Derek have lost my trust for them. Adam just stopped coming, Caleb doesn't really give a shit about the classes, and Derek...well, Derek is better, but I think he could of taught us some of the time.

Aidan and Dustin are awesome, they came when they could. I don't know if Aidan has stuff he needs to attend to or if he is just being like the other 3, but he and dustin still have my trust.

Well, i'm gonna go, i'm tired...adios!
