an urban hip-hop revival of the classic children's story? Because it looks like a bunch of DAMN VARILITES ON THE FLOOR.

I think I've experienced the two best moments of my day already.

First one.  I went over to campus to say my farewells to everyone.  I was in John's office, with John and Chris, being all chatty and whatnot. 

John: (discussing my Facebook status updates) "So, are you making up song lyrics, or are you just pissed at a boy?"
Me: "I'm pissed at a boy!"
John: (turns to Chris): "Told you so."

For everyone playing the home game, John is my former adviser and lighting design professor, and Chris is my former theatre history professor.  I love my teachers.  Of course, John has watched me go in and out of dating/relationships for over three years now, and is used to my academic and professional life being underscored by some kind of personal drama that at some point I will go to his office and bitch about.  His parting advice to me was, "Kate, there are a lot of men in New York.  Pace yourself."

Side note: I really would like a stable relationship.  Really.  They just don't seem to happen to me, though (for further details, re: that post in October where I analyzed this in greater detail).  I hate dating.  Dating sucks.  Not that I want a relationship simply because I hate dating, but...dating is tedious sometimes.  And it's so hit-or-miss.  You guys know what I mean.  Right?

Second one.  So yeah, I have a profile on OKCupid.  (Don't judge me.  I've had it for years.  Judge me because I have a profile on PlentyofFish that I keep around because I get twenty to thirty messages a day, and it entertains and horrifies me.  I mean, some of the messages are really sweet, but the butchering of the English language makes me wonder what people are getting taught in their English classes these days.)  I get a message from a guy who turns out to be a producer, and he's producing an off-Broadway show and is looking for a lighting designer.  I sent him the link to my portfolio.  If I get a job through OKCupid, I will laugh, or vomit, or both.

I'm hungry, I need to pack my car, I leave tomorrow morning, I didn't put gas in my car.  Damn it!
