maybe several things

If all goes according to plan (doubtful), this is the speech I am going to give tomorrow night:


Hola. Como estas? Mi nombre es Annie Cosper. Mi show es de fantasmas. Se llama "Spirited Behavior".

Okay, that's all the Spanish I've got. Like I said, the show that I directed is called "Spirited Behavior," and it's about ghosts. I chose this play because...well, because I liked it. It isn't as serious and dramatic as some of the shows are, but, you know, I chose what I was familiar with. Both I and my actors have worked very hard on this show. This show is sort of the culmination of my years in the Magnet. I've been in the program for four years now, and everything I've learned over the past four years has gone into this show. It's all been leading up to this moment, and I can't help but feel a little sad. I mean, I'm excited to finally be directing, but this is my last hurrah in front of a South audience, and I'm going to miss it. I think we all are. This show isn't just my effort, or just the effort of me and my actors. Over the past few years, we've grown closer and changed the way each other spoke and thought and acted on stage, and I am convinced that this show--none of our shows--would not be what you see tonight if it hadn't been for the others. We all worked together on this, and it's the last time we're going to be doing so. This is really important to a lot of us, and it means a lot to me that you all are here tonight, to support us. So thank you all for coming, and I hope you enjoy the show.

(I plan on starting to cry right about "hurrah". I figure that's when it'll probably get the better of me.)

Okay, so I gave into the peer pressure encouragement.

From now on, For Want of a Physicist will be available for your reading pleasure at its own journal, fwoap. That will be updating every day or so until it's caught up to where I've posted here, with the chapters posted there being deleted from here as I go.

I will also be doing some editing in the process of transferring them from journal to journal, so if you'd like to see the differences, that's how to go about it.

Forward, into my mad descent adventure! And whatnot.

On a completely unrelated note, I hung out with my also unrelated sister-cousin Chelsie today. 'Twas fun! We had dinner and saw a movie. There was surprisingly little catching up to do, given that we haven't seen each other in two years. She has a job and a boyfriend, and I have a hole in my face. Also, she was totally at a strip club last night with her boyfriend, which I found hilarious.

On another unrelated note, I sound even more like a teenager in real life!
