Happy July 4th!

And I'm proud to be an American ...

I'm Freaking Out!!!!

My neighbor is creeping me out! The dude lives in the building next to mine. He's unemployed and really doesn't do too much except, apparently watch his neighbors live. He and his cousin  were up late last night drinking and were sitting outside on his porch by the time I got home from work, which was about 1 am. Actually, his cousin was totally sober. I think he was keeping an eye on my neighbor, who was totally drunk. The cousin is actually a very nice man. My neighbor on the other hand ... eeesh! There is something really off-putting about a man in his 30's - 40's who says, "I just want to get a whole bunch of people together to hang out and get fucked up!" When I stated that these days I feel a bit too old to get "fucked up", he responded, "Oh please!" Don't get me wrong, I am on my guard with this guy, even though I truly believe that he's quite harmless. He's just a teenager trapped in a grown man's body. But it really bothers me that he has observed me enough to know my living patterns. He knows when I usually leave my apartment to run errands, and has seen Noel come and go. I'm freaking out. I don't honestly believe that this guy is going to do anything to me, and legally I can't really do anything to stop him from watching me, but I'm kinda scared. I don't know what to do ...

Someone Is Watching YOU!

Can you see the face??? He's watching you!

More Backstage Shenanigans!

Cast of Letters to a Student Revolutionary, 6/4/09 at the Democracy Theatre.

Letters

In remembrance of this day 20 years ago:

This was the play for which I had been cast as an understudy. I did my first and last show (possibly for now?) this evening. The show went really well! Usually, I feel a bit wary when it comes to political theatre but I suppose that since today was the anniversary of the Tianamen Square Massacre, I was totally into the play! At least those who died in the massacre were being commemorated somewhere in the world, as opposed to China where they should be remembered.

China Security Tight in Tianamen

On a little bit of a lighter note:

The content of the show was on the dramatic side but as always, there are moments of camaraderie and stupidity backstage - *sigh* actors ...

In other news, I am done with my training at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company! So come on down and request for me! Also, if you have a friend that you want to humiliate on his/her birthday, come on down!!!! I and other servers will sing an upbeat birthday song and make the birthday boy/girl do a dance!
