I love stage managing.

Do you love what you do?

So in the basement of the Performing Arts Center at Virginia Commonwealth University there is a broom closet. This broom closet has become the VCU stage management office. Room B-51. As you read this Lester is clinging to the cement blocks that create the foundation of the building.

Lester is the biggest cockroach I have ever seen in my life. He travels around the same cement block all day and will never leave until I kill him.

November 17 Birthday Astrology Profile


If Today is Your Birthday: November 17
Personality Profile for People Born on November 17

The following descriptions reveal some of the characteristics of people who share a birthday—those who are born on November 17th of any year—based on various methods used in Astrology, Numerology, and Cartomancy. Note that both Astrology and Numerology reveal much more depth when a birth year, and in the case of the former, a birth time and place are included.
The Astrology & Numerology of your Birthday

Your Sun is in Scorpio in the Cancer decanate and the Leo quadrant.

The rulers of your Sun in Scorpio are Pluto and Mars. Secondary rulers of your decanate and quadrant signs are the Moon and the Sun.

Although you have a talent for communicating, you are not an open book. Your personality is vibrant, and others notice you wherever you go. As emotional as you are, you prefer to present the strong side of your personality to others. You may readily discuss your personal past, but you are not one to whine about your life. You do have an interesting life story, no doubt about it, as you tend to attract change and even crisis into your life with your controlled yet powerful emotions. Your life is far from static, likely because your personality is very dynamic.
Protective - Strong - Emotional

Lauren Hutton, born November 17, 1943 Actress, supermodel.

Danny DeVito, born November 17, 1944 Actor, director, producer.

Gordon Lightfoot, born November 17, 1938 Singer, songwriter.

Rock Hudson, born November 17, 1925 Actor.

Fixed Star(s) Near Your Sun:

Sun Conjunct Agena
This fixed star has a Venus-Jupiter influence, and suggests you have strong morals, you act honorably, and your tastes are refined. You answer to an inner code that keeps you aboveboard. You may make favorable friendships. Your mind is active and sharp, and you can achieve much success in your life.

Progressed Sun: Turning Points in the Life
We carry our Sun sign with us throughout our entire lives. If I'm a Scorpio, I'll always be a Scorpio. However, in secondary progressions, the Sun "progresses" in a symbolic sense through our natal Sun sign, and then beyond it to subsequent signs. Secondary progressions are "a day for a year", and because the Sun moves just under one degree per day, our Sun symbolically progresses just short of one degree every year of our lives. Because there are 30 degrees for every sign, if I was born in the latter days of a Scorpio Sun, my Sun would progress to the sign of Sagittarius in my early childhood, and to the sign of Capricorn in my early to mid-30's. If I was born near the beginning of a Scorpio Sun, however, my progressed Sun would enter Sagittarius close to my 30th birthday, and to Capricorn in my late 50's. The changeover of signs marks a critical turning point in a person's life. At the very end of a sign (just before changing signs), individuals may make life-changing, impulsive decisions.

Your progressed Sun enters Sagittarius at age 5. The ages of 4 to 6 mark a critical turning point in the development of your personality. After some sort of crisis of consciousness, and perhaps elimination of circumstances that have been limiting your growth, you begin to feel lighter, more free, and decidedly more outgoing. Your desire to learn increases, and your sense of humor is enriched. You are more flexible during this period as well.

Your progressed Sun enters Capricorn at age 34. The ages of 33 to 35 mark a critical turning point in the development of your personality. You become more practical, mindful, and concerned about your personal security. You are a self-starter, and you become more shrewd and focused on your goals.

Your progressed Sun enters Aquarius at age 64. The ages of 63 to 65 mark a critical turning point in the development of your personality. You become more humanitarian, somewhat detached, and independent. Some may become self-righteous and fixed during this phase, while others learn to detach themselves from situations and loosen up. You kick up your heels and enjoy life with a certain level of detachment and confidence that you hadn't discovered before this time.

Degree Meanings of your Sun:

25 Scorpio
Sabian Symbol:

Sabian symbols present imagery associated with the degree of your Sun in Scorpio. Either of the following may apply, depending on the exact degree of your Sun:

If Sun is 24-25 degrees Scorpio:

"An X-Ray Photograph"

If Sun is 25-26 degrees Scorpio:

"American Indians Making Camp After Moving Into A New Territory"

Harmonic Degree Meaning:
The following is the degree meaning of your Sun (25 degrees Scorpio) based on harmonic sign influences.*

"Quiet, instinctive, self-reliant, intense. Sharp, critical, penetrating perception.
May be caustic or satirical in speech."

Numerology of November 17

You were born on the 17th day of the month, which reduces to a 8. Challenges in your life may be frequent, but you are strong and capable, and rise to them. Factoring in the 11th month of November, you are a number 1. Although you are passionate and companionable, you are quite capable of being independent. You are not fond of being told what to do, and you often shoulder more than your share of responsibilities. Factoring in your birth year gives you your Birth Path Number—a highly personal number for you. Find out how to determine this number here.

Most Favorable Days of the Month are 8, 17, 26, especially when these days (of any month) fall on a Saturday; and/or when the Sun is in Capricorn. The best colors for you are dark ones--dark grey, black, dark blue, and deep purple. You might want to wear amethyst, sapphire, black pearl, or black diamond next to your skin.

You Are Drawn to People Born on...
Easy, subtle attraction and harmony: You don't feel an irresistible pull towards each other, but over time, appreciate the peace you have between you. These people are good for you, although they might not challenge you to grow.

January 13-20, March 11-21, July 11-21, September 13-22

On-again, off-again attraction. This is a complex connection, and you make an odd yet interested couple.

April 13-17, June 13-17, October 16-20, December 16-20

A mysterious attraction that can be very romantic...or completely platonic! This is a spiritual connection that has a magical quality to it.

January 5-9, February 26-March 2, July 31-August 4, September 23-27

Opposites attract. Push me, pull me. You could complement each other well if you allow yourselves to learn from each other, or you could actively war against each other.

May 11-21

Attraction of the soul; challenging, intense, rich, and binding.

October 5-9, December 26-30

Powerful, tumultuous attraction--you are aware of the distinct differences between you, but may be drawn to each other because of the simultaneous awareness of a need and a lack. Either the relationship is ongoing and obviously tumultuous and of a "love-hate" nature, or it flows well until it breaks unexpectedly.

January 1-4, February 10-20, March 29-April 2, June 29-July 3, August 11-21, September 30-October 4, November 12-22, December 31

Creative, communicative, inspiring, and spiritually rewarding connections.

January 26-30, April 7-11, June 19-23, September 2-7


What's in the Cards...
Today's playing cards are based on an ancient system similar to the Tarot. Each birthday of the year is associated with a main playing card, the Birth Card, and each tells its own story.




The card associated with your birthday is the Three of Clubs. Your mind is sharp and you love to talk! You may grow into this quality--beginning life as a quiet child and, over the years, you discover your voice. Your creativity is strong, although you are often more of an "idea person". In fact, you are never short on ideas, but there's only so much time in the day to act upon them! Your love card is the Nine of Hearts. This suggests that you easily attract admirers and you are willing to make huge sacrifices for the sake of love. However, because you are so passionate and somewhat idealistic about love, you may experience your share of ups and downs in love, simply because you want your partner to mirror your passion and emotional vitality.

if you were a person I'd hit you right now.

because there is someone I want to hit...but I can't.

And it did, thank God.

I predict this will be a good week.

A good week that involves socializing with people I haven't in a while and reconnecting, because I've been too busy to do that so far this semester. 



(THE NERD IS OVER BTW!)

I'm obsessed with the early november song a 1000 times day, i'm not sure why, but after reading the lyrics it's really funny because it goes over three major relationships I've had and all in one song! and it's not all debbie downerish.

I predict a good week and that feeling is amazing, even though I'm like totally failing everything right now, minus costuming and make-up design and stage management.

"i guess that didn't impress you."
I LOVE THIS FUCKING SONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG and I am soooo bored.

Because let's face it, it's been quite the week for Wee.

But every time I start to blog, and did blog, I feel this huge guilt.

Guilt because I should be writing something, somewhere else.

And I should be so I leave you with this:


When your life sucks, and God knows everyone's life SUCKS, it's okay to just wait...and wait for the right thing to happen instead of making it happen.

I'm learning.

I cannot express the range of emotions/moods I have felt within the last week. Pure UNADULTERATED happiness, utter confusion, ANGER to an extent that BLOWS MY FUCKING MIND, envy, and so on...

My grades are slipping and for once it's NOT my social life that is the answer to why, in fact my social life hasn't affected my grades in college at all yet. Granted it has led me to make poor decisions involving skipping class, skipping sleep, and skipping assignments, but none of that has shown through my grades thus far. But right now... right now there is a war going on between myself and two of my classes.

I'm not sure who'll win, but right now I'm getting my ass kicked. But I blame that on THE NERD. Come this Sunday everything is going to be just all right. I will be able to get back into the swing of things.

Afterall, if I have been able to keep my room clean this year (mostly), I can get back in the swing of post show academics.

Normal people my age worry about heartbreak, I'm too busy worrying about whether or not not having a summerstock job this summer is going to ruin my professional career before I even graduate.

You know when your exhausted and you've made plans with friends after you have to do something. And then you get out and you're like....man I kinda just want to go home and sleep. Well the few times recently when I've been like NO I can't sleep I must have a social life have been totally worth it.

Tonight for instance Brian, Steven and myself took chalk and wrote miss you, and drew colin on the compass. We called Ashface and had her go on the RamCam and check it out. Right as we are telling her how to get to the website a police officer pulls over. At first he is kind of a jackass but not really, explains why he was saying anything to us, we agreed that his reasons for telling us we weren't allowed to do that were understandable.

He took our names, checked our IDs, did a background check..., and then said he'd either call us telling us to clean it up or we'd never hear from him again.

I swiftly called Ashface and twaited for the stream to load, then Steven told her why we had to get off the phone so fast, and she laughed.

She said it made her want to cry or maybe it was that she was crying. Either way I really doubt that...! haha.

It's true that I've grown, but I haven't grown up just yet. This was proof.

Now at 1:30 am I have to write a paper. I have to write it solo, because the two other people in my group decided they weren't going to do anything to help me.

And to them I say thanks. It only makes the fact that I spent well over an hour with best friends just to make another friend happy for a moment even better.

I wish I had a picture of it...
