I'm Not Dead

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I thought I'd be able to put up more posts with the play being over (it went amazingly, by the way. Thanks to all who went!). I guess I was wrong. I've just gotten lazy and more unproductive now that I am not as stressed. Crazy. Anyway, I thought I'd better put up a post so that Metzger has something to do once she gets back from Texas. Actually, I was most motivated to post a new entry after getting this IM from Rence.

TehRence: Due to your lack of blog updates, I'm afraid you might be dead. Please confirm otherwise.

pocaloca05: haha i'm not dead! i'm surprised that you read my blog frequently enough to know that i haven't posted in a while

TehRence: I probably check it daily

pocaloca05: woah that's nuts

I was actually kind of flattered that my existence is now being based on my blog updates. It makes me think I have a fan base, though I doubt Rence really checks my blog every day. That really would be nuts.

After taking a hiatus from all non-academic clubs and activities, I decided to show up again at NDTV and do some comedy bits for Late Night ND. Since I'm one of the only girls (if not the only girl) left on the staff, I got to play all the girl roles. This quickly turned into me playing a slut in several forms. In one bit, I had to be a girl breaking parietals (staying in a guys dorm past midnight on the weekdays or 2 am on the weekends, for those of you not in the know). Skanky. Then I had to play Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City (the premise was Sex and the Campus, so since we're at ND, nothing happened). Extra slutty. Then I had to play a porn star, during which I tried to stick a $20 bill down my shirt and ended up getting a paper cut, or I guess a money cut, on my chest. Super Sleezy. You can see all of this tomorrow (Thursday) night at Legends at 10. Don't pretend like you don't want to see it.

This is the first week back from spring break, though it feels like I've been back for longer. I went home for break, back to good ol' Stow, OH. It was nice to relax and sleep, especially since I got sick halfway through. I got to see some friends, spend time with the fam, and sleep sleep sleep. Though it was nice to chill, spring break seemed like a preview of a very long and dull summer. Maybe (hopefully) I'll be proven wrong.

Since I don't drink, do drugs, sleep around, or perform random acts of violence, and I already have my belly button pierced, I needed a way to feel rebellious--an outlet for my self-expression now that I don't have to wear khakis and a polo every day. I needed to show the world that I am in college, and I'm a film major (let's forget the double in business for a moment). I went to Walgreens and didn't tell my mom what I was buying. I simply told her it was hair stuff. Good cover. She thought I was buying condoms. I go up to the bathroom, and after a while, she knocks on the door. I have to let her in. She opens the door and looks at me in horror. Was I
a) shaving the hamsters that live in the basement
b) painting my nails black
c) piercing my own nose
d) chatting it up with Sylvester Stalone on my cell

The answer is none of the above. It was a trick question. I was putting fuschia streaks in my hair--with permanent hair dye. Try to contain your disbelief. Seriously. Get a hold of yourself! Yeah my mom actually wasn't too upset. She offered to help. But then she saw the giant mess of pink dye in the bathroom and told me I was on my own. The highlights actually don't look too bad. I like them. I feel so college and rebellious. I'm probably dying it back to brown over Easter.

I just got a call from Joe Lattal of NDTV and the shoot we did last night was on a bad tape and we have to reshoot it. So I have to play a slut. Again. *Sigh* If I didn't know any better, I might think being a slut is my job, like I'm a prostitute or something. But I don't wear shirts that say "FREE" or "WILD" on them. I miss Asian Chick...
