Well, it smells like Clorox, but it tastes like Junior Prom...

So, right, another little update today, and in two parts.

The first part is on Anastasiya, who I chatted with this afternoon. She's been having some difficulties with her dad being petty and passive-aggressive and treating her like a child, and she confessed to being petty and passive-aggressive, and acting like a child in retaliation. We kind of got in an argument when I pointed out (harsher than I'd intended) that she can't solve anything by sinking to his methods and proving him right. I really didn't mean to upset her; she's a dear friend and I care for her deeply. But I also believe that a good friend doesn't simply accept and encourage just any behavior their friend chooses. If I disagree with you on a point, I will let you know, and I will argue (sometimes heatedly) with my friends. But that doesn't mean I think any less of you for it. I disagree with most of my friends on many subjects; I'd be pretty lonely if I thought less of them all just because I think they're wrong on this or that.

The second is on Jason, who I saw at a Staged Reading he invited me to tonight. I'm really glad I went, because it was a lot of fun, though the subject material (a play, it seems, entitled Sexual Perversion in Chicago) turned me off a bit. All in all it was a bit rougher and more crude than my tastes run, but it had some really hilarious lines. Anyways, I was really impressed with Jason's bit, and the performance as a whole especially, and after the fact he and I walked back to the Metro and chatted. It was really cool; he and I need to hang out more, cause it's great every time we do.

And that, as they say, is that. For now, a glass of Water, a little Salem's Lot, wash my face, and then to bed. Work in the morning (*groan*), but I get to take a trip down to the Virginia Office, so I'll get out a bit -- fresh air and sunshine. I think I'll drive with the windows down...

Actually... I believe you mean Sexual Perversity in Chicago. By Mamet. Don't you love having a theatre geek in the family? ;-) Mamet is not for the faint of ears. I've read most of that play... but then I had to get it back to the library. Damn due dates. When I get back to school I'll get it again and finish it.

-laughs-
Perversion, Perversity, what's the difference? but yes, it was by Mamet.
And yes, I really do love having a Theatre Geek in the family. -smiles- You'll have to keep me up-to-date on your goings on, because one of these days I really do want to see you perform, or something.

*punkish*

Can't sleep, LARPers will eat me...

And hey, you can always count on me to be honest, and I really didn't mean to upset you. I'm sorry for that.

... accualy you didnt upset me. :-p
LARPers?

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

"You're going to make me cry" implies upsettedness -- 'upset' to me is not the same as 'angry,' per se.

Live Action Role-Players. Those who LARP.

[tzohekiti.livejournal.com]

to the LARPs, o.O okiiiiiiiiii then.
As to you're going to make me cry, :-p

Well, Larping's not that bad, in theory. It's rather like acting, except with no script and a few rules to keep things moving. I've never Larped, but I have a few friends who do.
