The Vagina post continued

I know it's over, but I just feel I have to add some to this

I talked to connie, she went for the performance and enjoyed it!! I know the content is edgy and risque and can scare people off. But if you look at the underlying message.... I mean i read thi book when i was fifteen....
The words are so meaningful and so powerful. So uplifting, inspiring.... it is a subject that goes beyond race, gender, religion, it is about HUMANITY. It is about lif e, it is about love and forgiveness, it is about mercy and strength and justice. About doing what is right, doing something that changes lives, that changes perspectives. It is not just about ending violence against women, it is for peace, for humanity for love for valuing yourself as individual.

It is about honesty, it is about being sex positive, about sharing about not being afraid of who you are. Vagina may be taboo, but on that night, it is anything BUT. A group of us girls banded together and worked on a project for nearly 2months, it was something we believed in, that your words and actions can change others, can change humanity. One monologue at a time.

Here is the excerpt of one monologue called : My vagina was my village ( i did the intro to this one)

My Vagina. A live wet water village . My vagina My hometown

Not since they took turns for seven days smelling like feaces and smoked meat, they left their dirty sperm inside me. I became a river of poison and all the crops died, the fish

My vagina a live wet water village
they invaded it. Butchered it. Burned it down
I do not touch now
Do not visit
I live someplace else now
I do not know where it is

The Vagina Monologues

SAY it! say with me!!! VAGINA VAGINA
CUNT CUNT CUNT !!!!!

Ohh yeahh

It was amazing experience to be involved in this wonderful, deeply moving, powerful, intense, mind blowing project. The message of it, so universal, to end violence against women. Yes, my role may have been small, yes i may not be a drama major like most of the cast but what i took away from this experience was that, we CAN make a difference with our words. Words, stories, poetry is so moving so powerful, so abosrbing. It makes you think and reflect and want to do more.

Let what you are conveying, mean something deep and moving to someone. Make them cry, make them laugh, challange people to think , to change, to act. To change society.

First night- at AL, this felt a lot more informal than last night. We gathered 2 hr s early, cleaned up and arranged AL. Then went to a backroom to get ready. 1/2 an hr before the show ran lines with lauren and rachel again and again until we were golden. I didn't really feel that nervous. There was a good positive energy going around. Oh, the chants of cunt and the moans we did to warm-up!!! the hilarioussness of the girls. It's fun to be back in a group of ALL girls again!!

It was like a team going out to a stadium before a game... We were whooped and cheered and ass-slaped before heading out. Me, lauren and rachel were last as we marched down the stairs and began our performance. The crowd wasn't even that big! i didn't even feel that bad!! i didn't feel too nervous. Managed to deliver our lines correctly without screwing up at all!
We all sat in the front row and took turns going up. The actresses (ely mostly drama majors) were all absolutely STUNNING, riveting, engaging performances that just take you away with their words. WHo says UW doesn't have acting talent?

2nd night- Held at t of a. Got there an hr early, had less time time to get ready. This time it was in an actual theatre, so it was more nerve-racking. Nevertheless, got ready, went over lines by myself over and over, tried not to be too nervous. Then showtime!! the waiting in the " vole' which is an entrance from the bottom of the theatre. Didn't actually watch the show this time. as we spent some of the time in the green room waiting and listening to thee show a speaker or the space in the vole. We pulled off an amazing show again!!!

and yes i will be taking a drama class next time!! i like acting now!!

Again, I really should not be here right now.

I have a lotta shit to get done over the next week blerghouS;KHROPUR

1. Stats mid term
2. Psych mid term
3. RS paper

How the hell am i going to get it ALL DONE??
cos i have the VAGINA MONOLOGUES this weekend!!! super excited for it btw. Going to be mind-blowingly amazing!!! I am so glad to be involved in such an amazingly empowering, strong, change-making project.

Other things
1. Find sublet
2. Find other volunteer work
3. Find other JOB

Nothing like being on your own in foreign country that teaches you to be way independent.

Ok... now a little calmer, now that i have completed part of my eng 210F group projeouct requirement.

I know i should try to be a little mysterious/ cryptic about this... but I'm just going to say, YEs im in a relationship and yes im happy in it. I love my guy. He's sweet, loving, and he just knows me. He can tell when i am about to cry ( only my younger sister can do that) He tells me off when im not being as non-blur/ assertive as i can be. But he doesn't do everything for me, independence is important, i can;t someone do all the work for me. So yes, I'm happy with him.

I WILL NOT BE CONCERNED WITH LIVING SITUATION

How can I not? i fricken live with them? maybe im the only stupid one wigging out. I seriously dunno how i am going to face spring term.... with them.... one word ERGH
n't
I know you don't like me... there is no need to be bitchy or show attitude to me. I have just been doing my own thing, so let me do my own thing. It is unfortunate things are so like up and down... and i don't really talk to them
different things i should do
eytng to
a) Don't think abt it
b) Don't think abt it
c) Say nothing and just let it be
d) Why the hell did i get myself into this?

I know I must not be filled with hatred, but i feel the hostility and bitchiness, my heart seems is)so full of range, about burst, i want to scream i want to cry i want them to STOP
Why do people have to be so unpleasant and bitchy? Maybe i ouam being too sensitive, i should just let it go. It sucks living with ppl who cant love you unconditionally the way family can ( someone told me this)

Why is there the sign " SHUT THE FUCK UP" on my housemate's door?
Why can't we be more pleasant to each other?
Here is my rant

We used to be friends a long time ago
I don't want to keep thinking about this, i thought we were over it
I don't want to make a thing of it
But it is a thing, it gets to me
I don't want your attitude
Your steely looks at me
Living together ruined everything
I know i should disregard it, not think about it
That is what everyone tells me
I try and i try
But i know i cannot always avoid it
So i step on tenterhooks, i try not to displease anyone
This is fall term all over again
This time i at least have support
We used to be friends
Now you face with hatred
I don't want the hate, i just want peace
It doesn't matter if we can't be good friends anymore
Ive gotten over that a long time ago
The pain i had to go through.... Maybe you felt it too
Why this happened I don't know

I don't want to hurt anymore
I want peace
I want to be loved, i want friends and people i can rely on
I want people i can relate to and talk to
I get lonely, when i try to talk to you, you run away,
So i retreat away again
Back into the pecking order
in my space, where i don't want you to hurt me
You will not hurt me
I will stand firm
I will be strong and not cry

I will not hurt
We used to be friends


Ok i will stop now

It's like Green House day on crack

Or should i say wasted?



You guessed it, st paddy's day aka just another excuse to get drunk, this time it is OK to be drunk at 12 noon!! oh and don't forget to wear green!



At least it was a beautiful day out... seeing scores of being all out drinking on their lawns at around 2pm in the afternoon



Other daily observations

Board outside vet clinic- " One person can mean the world to another"

Such a beautiful thing to walk past...



Seeing a sean william scott-lookalike cycle past me at



Look up and see ppl perched on roofs wooting.. get " I love you, you're beautiful !!" yelled at you. Well that is at least better than other things i have heard...

Oh and your lap top gets fixed!!

YAY!!
