I haven't really got much time to write, since I should be going to sleep soon, but I feel like I've been neglecting my blog for the past few days. And I did promise that I would write often, so here's a short entry on my day today.
My internal alarm clock woke me up at 6. Usually, I wouldn't be too bothered about this; it's routine, after all. The thing is, I've been getting more and more exhausted every day. Between work, becmong ever-more sleep deprived, rehearsals, school work, and practicing, I barely have time to rest. It's all that I can do not to feel loaded down by the amount of stress I should feel. But that's a whole different story.
Anyways, I woke up at 6 (/groan) and found that I'd fallen asleep while texting some people... Whoops, sorry lol. Texted them all back (at 6. again, sorry, don't really think that early) and amazingly, I was able to fall asleep again. :)
Cut to 9:00am. Insert mother banging on door, yelling at you to get up and start on work. Follow that with pulling yourself out of bed, walking out the door (after walking into the door frame once) and then working for the next 4 hours. Then... went out for lunch, came home, showered and got prettied up (well... that's sorta impossible for me lol) and went out to meet a friend to meet some friends to go downtown... erghhh let's just say I went to Nuit Blanche with some friends, lol.
We saw some amazing art there. Not amazing as in like... "THE SECRETS OF LIFE HAVE BEEN REVEALED TO ME!" but amazing in the way the artist was able to express an idea. There were some pretty cool ongoing projects too... Gotta remember to visit in December to see the finished works. There was also a strange parade of even stranger people...
My absolute FAVOURITE exhibit was one that really tested human boundaries. It was set up like so:
There was a doorway that you had to pass through.
In the doorway, facing each other, were two naked women.
The only way through the doorway was to go in between them.
You can imagine how awkward it was.
Why was this my favourite? (for those of you about to answer as such, no it wasn't because there were naked women. seriously.)
It was because it wasn't a visual art. It tested human behaviour; how far we'd be willing to go just to get through the doorway; how easy it was to make someone feel uncomfortable. I don't know about the others that went through, but I got shivers down my back when I passed through the doorway.
So why did I do it?
Because, to me, this was a challenge. And I always rise to a challenge. :)
Anyways, all throughout the night, I was having... sort of an on-going conversation with a friend of mine. I think... some pretty deep stuff was discussed there...
...But that's for another time.
Because my head is starting to spin and it's getting harder and harder to piece together words to form coherent thoughts. xD
I do hope that made sense.
ttyl. :)
P.S- It was awkward, yes, but... what a thrill to feel an emotion after so long.
