An expression of recent thoughts that weren't big enough to make a post.

OK, so for some reason today, Math decided to be easy, so I actually finished my Math homework today. It was odd since most of the time I don't even understand what the teacher's saying (probably because I'm usually half asleep). I think it might have to do with the Monster M-80 (my favorite flavor) Energy drink I drank before Math started which somehow helped me suck all of the info in.

Also, I'm not looking forward to Christmas this year. Don't get me wrong, I love celebrating Christ's birth, but something about the season just depresses me. I think it;s because I hate snow. Or because everything is so commercial (I hate commercialized Christmas!). Or maybe it was because I was having relationship problems last Christmas and when I think about Christmas I think about a bit of the depression I felt last year. You know what, I don't really want anything this year I just want to like help the rest of my family have a good holiday or go and give some food to homeless people living in my city. That sounds better all of a sudden.

In Drama, I'm really lacking in my role for the Shakespeare act. I can do funny, I can do action or drama or anger, I can do depressed, but I haven't had any experience with romance so this is going to be one heck of a puzzle to crack. I think it might because the girl I'm getting romantic with is being TOO romantic, so it's kind of making me go, 'oh, what do I do now?'

If any of you have anything to say about this post, PLEASE comment. Especially if you have advice for drama. Thanks!

Okay. For the whole drama thing- I can tell that you really aren't the kind of person that shows they're in love with someone in an extravigant way. You're more concervitive and subtle. Which isn't a bad thing, it's just not what you need for this character. I would say pretend she's a girl you like, but i'm guessing that would just make it a million times worse. SO my advise to you, and you don't have to take it because i know you're upset with me, would be to not try so hard. Make it more nauteral. Look at people who can act that way and try to mimic that, just don't try too hard or else you'll just over do it like you're doing now. Look at her the way you would look at a girl you love. Hold yourself as if to impress the girl with your grace. Smile as if you're witnessing the most beautiful thing in the world. Touch her as if she's breakable. You just have to put yourself into the right mindset and it'll all fall into place like that. Hope that helps.

heyy about thee music. you go to playlist.com and create a playlist then go to the add gadgets thing on here and put in the code from your playlist to the music gadget..its not too hard to figure out.

To give you a more masculine perspective on how to act romantic (lol i have no experience either), as opposed to Celie's fountain of gush, just act like you're not entirely stoned. You look like you're confused up there, and you don't know what's going on. Once you're more comfortable with what you're doing, you'll do it better. Throw yourself into the role. Right?

Alex said...

Thanks guys. I'd say more but I'm tired and need to hit the hay.

Sarah said...

what celie said is sweet i'd go with it if i were you.
and about that christmas thing, you still have time (like two months) for your feelings to change so don't get too excited =)

Célie said...

Alex- Don't listen to Jack because first of all - he's a boy, and second of all - he's the one of the most non-romantic people i've ever met . . . Sarah agrees with me so it's two against one.

Jack- No offence. . . but i'm pretty sure you don't care. . . and FOUNTAIN OF GUSH? what the heck is that supposed to mean?

Alex said...

Thanks, Celie and Sarah. I think I'll just mix both of your ideas, cause you had a good idea Celie and Jack got that I was confused. (Jack also has been exposed to the briliant Mindy longer).

Célie said...

okay. BTW you did WAY better today. Good job.

Alex said...

Oh thanks! I felt better today. I'm doing this thing where I kind of make my mind go blank before I go on so that'll do what feels natural. I'm watching singing in the rain tonight so that should help.

Alex said...

By the way Jack,, I'm always entirely stoned. jk

Célie said...

That's a good idea and it's working Alex. Just keep on trying and you'll eventually get it. Keep up the good work, I know you can do it.

Alex said...

Celie, I'm not a dog.

Célie said...

omg i never said you were. sorry if it seemed like i was implying that idea . . . i was just trying to be nice! sheesh!

Célie said...

ha ha i guess you don't have to worry about it anymore do you? I seriously think that ryan will be way perfect for the part . . . he's so good with the whole romantic facial expression thing . . . are you sad you don't have that part anymore?

Bruce said...

Dude Alex, what is this about a book?
I'm interested, Tell me about it at school some time.

Alex said...

Yes and no. I'll miss the waving and blowing kisses, and the romance wasn't that bad once I started to get the hang of it, but Antonio gets to wear a Zoot Suit with a Fedora! I love it! It's like, my favorite outfit. It'll be black and red with a red hat and I'll wear my dragon shoes with it. It's AWESOME!

Célie said...

I'm sorry to say this but you didn't look so hot doing the whole thing . . . i mean you were getting better but i think ryan is going to be way funny . . . no offence . . . ha ha i haven't seen your costume but it sounds hillarious!
