Lapu Overload

The last week or so of my official four years in college was probably more eventful than my entire four years in college. While most students were cranking out fifteen fifteen page papers and cramming for exams, I was going to Disneyland and having nights of Disney movie marathons. My diet was changing to include four meals a day -- tacking on "late night 4 am" as a legitimate meal time. Impromptu karaoke-ing to Journey, Wahid's version of the Baha Men, watching the sunrise, and 9 am dim-sum to 2 hours of sleep. . .I've learned to perpetually nurse on a thermos of coffee and tell myself that everything is going to be okay when the caffeine dies off a couple hours afterward and I'm left with an indescribable headache, wishing that I would have taken the damn red pill when I had the chance. But there's no other way I would have liked to end my Senior year. I figure I have to not give a shit before I give a shit again, right?

Hee hee! Our hosts :)

It's true, I died the day I discovered this.

It was pretty amusing.

They got it going, finally.

Asian immigrants. . . except Jessie is smirking.

I don't know what this is.

I spend way too much time with these people.

The Waiting Game

This quarter's LCC show was a show of firsts (at least for the duration of how long I've been active). First show at Jan Popper. First show that cost nearly $7,000 furnished by Vietnamese sandwiches. First show (of mine) with G16. First show with keWL tech opportunities & a silent screen. First fully-made up cast & set-pieced stage. First amazing show in a long while, & proud of it! It was a really tough and painful quarter to get through, but I'm glad we got through it all the same. I'm glad for all the sleep I lost (& continue to lose, I might add), the talent displayed, the sheer hard work, and my final performance. . . but who knows?

I've been under Lapu's wing for nearly five (?) quarters and though my investment had waned over the months, I'm glad that I went back. It's sad to be leaving, but so good to be leaving on a great note. (See follow - up sappy banquet post)
