"She's deader than a saturday night in Salt Lake City!" --Dave Lister, Red Dwarf
I didn't even try to find anything to do today. I guess this Horizonte thing is really bugging me. On the one hand, the chance to work at the grand with Syhalla is really tempting. And it would get me out of high school quicker, without a lot of the stuff I'd have to deal with at West, not to mention the whole, "oh, gee, I need such and such a class to graduate, there goes another free period!" syndrome. But it'd prolly mean turning over tech crew in the next month or two, and mock trial is definately out, not to mention prolly the play. But the fact that I know exactly what I'd miss out on is really a bad omen.
But... But... But...
Good and bad from both sides, I guess. What it comes down to is, Horizonte is a better deal in the whole "getting-the-hell-out-of-Utah" department, and all I really have to keep me at West is the people there. (Notice how I hesitate to use the phrase 'my friends.' Am I just being realistic, or trying to talk myself into something?) I've always prided myself on being an uncaring bastard, but now the chance to prove it comes along, and I hesitate.
I still see Jenny, Jake, and the people from Bryant, once or twice a month. So, if I left West, would I still see the people I usually only see at cast parties and sluff fests? Not that I'm the only one asking myself this; I'll refer to it as the "Duckie Dillemia" from here on. Ah, but there's the rub - Sarah has far more concrete ties to these people than I do. The ones I see more than occassionally outside of school I see at Mythic, and Horizonte would prolly leave me more time for that. After all, how many people do I really think actually read this?
Huh - I think I've just about talked myself into this. But no need to set things in stone quite yet. Still need to talk to Connie Jean again.
The phrase "Still need to talk to C.J. again!" is far to regular a part of my vocabulary. Yet another tick on the "Pro" column.

Finishing up the second Beast Wars tape, and I'm hooked. I'm about four episodes into a multi-episode arc that is the most complex and interesting plot I've ever seen in a children's show. That's right, a mulit-episode arc in a chidren's show. That isn't afraid to go way over it's audience's head with things. Whoot.
Anyhoodles, I talked to Cindy Clarke at SLCC today. She reccomended I do a switch-off thing - I'd start their photo and drama programs half way through the semester, as well as a couple of english lit classes there. The downside? I'd have to finish off my last few high school credits through the "Alternative School" program under SLCC/Horizonte joint managment. That's right - the screw-up class.
I've actually had this thing reccomended to me before. But It's never seemed worth it to leave West. Now, through - I'd get a chance to move to a photography program on a diffrent level from West, and work at the Grand. I'm tempted.
Of course, I'd have to give one of those, "You're screwed, goodbye," speeches to Tech Crew. It repels me, of course - but I just like those speeches so damn much. Damnit.

I was walking from work to TRAX yesterday, when a strange car pulled up to the curb and someone I didn't recognize shouted at me to get in. I got in, of course. It was James, Mariel, and Bethy Hewes, of all people. I haven't seem Bethy in three months, at least, so that was a good thing. Turns out they were on their way to get David, and everyone ended up coming over to my place for a rented DVD and cheap pizza. Whoot.
It turns out James has been baptized into that nondenominational Christian church they're all going too - there was some debate over whether he still counts as Mormon, as he's not off their church rolls. It's actually quite cool to see all these people who were dirty hippies and liberals all through high school getting so religious in the western sense of the word. Except for Bethy, of course - she's still out there throwing paint at the people who make fur and all that.
Plus, we got to see Undercover Brother. Which is a damn fine piece of movie.

Got my ears. That's sort of the Mythic equivalent of a drivers liscence. I dunno if I'll PC tommorrow, though - I couldn't find anything for a cloak, so I made one. It's not very good, but it's mine. So there.
Anyhoodles, I just saw another Beast Wars episode. I can't recall what the title is, but I just need to use the term "fatal flatulence" for any BW fan to get what I'm saying.
Damn, my grades suck. But my ears are cool.

Well, it's been a good weekend, all in all. Friday was auditorium clean-out day. We hung plenty of new cans, which was a very happy thing. We should have good lighting avaliable when the play and dance concerts roll around. Right now, the only thing we desperately need is... drumroll ... safety cable! Whoot!
Saturday was the Valnor module. Only the second module in Valnor, too, so I wasn't completely overwhelmed by characters who drastically out-SP me. Except, of course, for the NPC's. Still, they really need to allow experience points to cross between Valnor and Larrioth. Complained about that to Sean, but I was just preaching to the chior.
But the most interesting things was on Thursday. Glenn and Phil dropped by West, Sam joined them, and Sarah Palmer joined them. I have Glenn's addy now, so he should get those post cards this time. (Which neither he nor Sam have seen, apparently.) It was a little odd, seeing all these people who I learned from. I wonder if I seem that inscrutable to someone like Stuart. Huh.
Anyhoodles, no one seems to like the word "anyhoodles" as much as I do. As a matter of fact, some people have an active dislike of it. Well, fuck them.
