Today

We tried out something like 30 or so acts for this Encore. Which was great, except for the fact that it made it so hard to make cuts. We decided, in fact, to keep 20 acts and push the early show up to 7:30 to give us time for the extra songs in there. I dunno. I'm tired, and I'm ready for the weekend. :) *peaceful sigh* Off to bed now.

Oh, ADDP.S. We're trying to come up with an extra Encore theme. We've thought of a Beatles Encore or Encore Originals, which would be more nichey music (indie, classic rock, things that didn't necessarily make it big, but were great anyway, and maybe even some songs written by students), and a redneck/country Encore. Any thoughts or other ideas?

"Drama, drama, drama!"

I think I might try to blog on here almost daily; I won't commit, though, in case I don't have the time, energy, or inspiration to follow through at one or more points. Anyway.

So today. Got to be the official face of Agathos for some Agathos-Boosters tensions about Encore. Fun, fun, and physically icky. Speaking of Encore, we have a Louis Armstrong and a Carrie Underwood living on campus. Nice.

No class today, but I sold club formal tix instead. Pretty sure I'm going with my guy. Speaking of Jase, I def. dropped it that I've been thinking about it and think I'd like to love him (future, not present; my mind runs in much different directions than seems common). clarified on the phone that i care deeply for him, but not love yet. could go that way, though. i'd like it to . . . eventually. hope he didn't think there were any expectations that came along with the announcement. had wanted to tell him on friday, because we're double dating that night, but yeah. decided i'd rather end this night on that high note, although it scared him more than anything. why can't a girl talk about loving someone without the associations of immaturity and that damned MRS degree? no thank you.

anyway. too premature? we've only been a couple for maybe a month and a half, although our "first date"-ish-type thing was a couple weeks before that. i dunno. i'm thinking now that it would have probably been better to wait, not because i think the message would change, but so that it wouldn't have been so much of a shock. that poor guy's heartbeat! 150 bpm, i think. :) haha poor kid.

thinking of frank (sinatra)'s "have yourself a merry little Christmas" right now. good head music to fall asleep to. when did facebook notes get so limited in material? boo. goodnight, all, and shut up, ADD. ;)
