Goodnight!

My Dream Interview with Bill O'Reily

Bill: Thank you for coming here toni-
Me: So what's it like being a grumpy old man?
Bill: Whaaaa-
Me: Did you get a chance to tell some young whippersnappers to get off your lawn? I hear that's always great recreation as your body slowly and painfully fades into oblivion and your mind and senses begin to fail you as your days quickly become numbered.
Bill: EXCUSE
Me: NO! BAD BILL! Sit. Stay. Shut the fuck up and let me finish talking for once in your life. Do you invite people here just to talk over them?! That's not much of an interview or a discussion or whatever the fuck you want to call it! AND HOW DO YOU NOT SEE THE IRONY IN CALLING A NEWS OUTLET "PROPAGANDA" WHEN YOU WORK FOR FUCKING FOX NEWS?!"

*mic drop* and walk away...

I HATE BILL O'REILY

Good lord Bill O'Reily needs to die already and save the world a lot of trouble. A woman on FunnyOrDie.com is challenging him to a fistfight for tearing apart her sister on his show. Her sister is a journalist who wrote an article criticizing American Sniper. He called her a "propagandist" a "dictator" and a "terrorist sympathizer" and all these other ridiculous things. He always invites people onto his show and never lets them say their piece. He literally told a guy that he was a "nut" within the first thirty seconds of their "discussion." The discussions on that show are really one-sided, it's just Bill O'Reily not letting people finish their fucking sentences while spewing his half-crazed rantings.

My new goal in life is to troll Bill O'Reily on his show before he can troll me. I will interrupt him at every turn, ask him degrading questions just as he does, and under no circumstance allow him to finish his sentence.
I finally finished reading, oh my goodness! The book itself is very intriguing and significant, it's just easy to get lost in thought and take forever on a section.
I'm trying to get through the section of Gulliver's Travels that I had for homework over the weekend, but I just don't have the motivation right now!!!!
Tomorrow I'm heading to the Northeast Ohio Area Theater Conference. It's not necessarily the best conference, but each one is what you make of it! My one-act show is performing, and I'm definitely looking forward to that. I never got to perform at any conference before, so I'm pretty pumped, even if it's only Area. Like my freshman year, they took the murder mystery (that I had a lead role in!) to the State Conference and it was incredibly popular. The thing was that we had two casts and only one could perform at States, so I opted not to attend the conference that year. I wish I had, because I always hear such wonderful things about it. My sophomore year was a dud year for theater because we switched directors. None of our shows were invited to Area or States. My junior year we switched back to our former director, and the shows themselves improved immensely. Our fall play's set was far too elaborate to take to States, so even though we were adjudicated by a NEOdTA representative and had excellent reviews from them, we would not have been able to perform at the conference anyways. Our murder mystery that year was also asked to perform at States, but since we would arrive back at the beginning of the Musical's tech week and half of the murder mystery cast was in the musical, we did not perform the show to States, even though everyone in it attended the conference. Of course, the one play that I don't do this year gets taken to States! I'll still be needed to help out backstage and with tech and stuff, but that's never the same as performing. 

So even though tomorrow's conference is tiny and fairly insignificant, I'm just happy to be performing.
On the bright side, I hardly have any homework so I can get a fair amount done tonight!
I just had a three-hour long nap and it was GLORIOUS! I have to wake up ridiculously early tomorrow so I'm going to be incredibly tired.

So you know how I was super nervous for Newspaper today?

It turned out that I didn't need to be. We were only doing individual self-evaluation work with our adviser, so there was no drama whatsoever. However, my co-editor is very very very very angry nonetheless and set up a meeting with the school principal and I! I don't really feel so much that it's necessary; she's being somewhat emotional about all of this stuff, but if she goes there alone it'll turn into this big mess. I have to be there to try to put things in perspective. I try to stay out of drama, but with my position I'm always sucked right into the middle of it!
