This groove is for my girls, little boys little girls

I'm disappointed. The season finale for RuPaul's Drag Race happened tonight. I was rooting for Jujube this entire time, but Tyra won. I'm happy for her in the fact that now she can take care of her 5-year-old son, but seriously? Tyra is good at drag, yes, but Jujube has way more personality and pep than Tyra! Tyra was on the bottom of my list out of Raven, Jujube, and Tyra when it comes to actual drag. Raven is talented and amazing in her style of drag and was able to stretch into different areas very well, Tyra can only really do glamour and ghetto drag. Jujube is fabulous and can work everything she does, her only downfall is when she freezes up! I'm just... miffed at that.
BUT! Today I got to hang out with K.J. in Boston! I was phenomenally excited to hang out with her for the first time since I hugged her goodbye before getting onto the shuttle to the airport in Chicago. It was college fair, so both of our schools headed into Boston for it. I called her this morning being all like "Hey, you going to college fair?" and she was like "YES." so we bounced around screaming over the phone. Up until I got on the bus to Boston I was bubbling with excitement. I was pretty much hugging everyone with excitement and screaming for no reason. (If you can't tell by now, K.J. is one of my closest friends who knows virtually everything about me and what I've done.) After a ton of shenanigans with guidance and other people in my class who are being suspended, I walked into the World Trade Center in Boston for the College Fair. I wandered around a while, then I eventually called her. She was at the opposite end of the entire room (all of the colleges are in this one room, it looks like a dealer's room at a convention but much more boring), so I booked it over there.
So there I was, standing around waiting for her to show up. I actually decided to look at the booth I'm near, and there was this one girl bickering with the person running the booth. She turns around, then we blankly stare at each other for a few seconds. Once we realized that she's K.J. and I'm Alex, I'm pretty damn sure J.A. fell over from the sheer volume of our screams from across the entire hall. Thus begins our two hours together!

The song of the day, in honour for RuPaul's Drag Race Season 2, is Ladyboy by RuPaul herself!

Are you serious?

Today, I decided to get working on the math department piece of my depression project. I talk with the department head and set up a pretty decent case of why I need their help with statistics and everything, until one of the stat teachers walks into the office. Upon his walking in, the department head entirely forgets what's going on and decides that my name is Eric. I am absolutely shocked by this and was thrown off by the rest of the meeting because she managed to mangle my name that badly! I have congestion and everything but seriously, Alex takes some serious problems to screw up. By the end, they decide to tell me that there's nothing they could do because the students have already decided on what surveys they're doing. Until the seniors leave, I can't do anything with the math department about getting statistics on how the student body feels. I'm a little miffed to say the least.
In happier news, I went to see How To Train Your Dragon in 3-D yesterday with friends A.H.x2 (They're married and have the same first initial) their son D.H. and K.V. It was awesome! I'm most amused by how the dragon Toothless acts almost exactly like my cat. I have a huge urge to hug my kitten right now...

The song of the day is "On The Rise" from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog!

Showtime!

Tonight was the night: I was finally a competitor in a massive school production. In this show, there's 7 guys who compete for the title of Mr. (school) in three different areas: Sportswear, Talent, and Dream Date. We each have one female sponsor who helps us out with any piece we need. Obviously, we need them for Dream Date and we have to introduce them during Sportswear. Talent, however, is entirely up to us because we write the scripts and everything.

So, up until about an hour before the show I was entirely calm and repeating to everyone that it's all going to work. Naturally, stage fright kicked in once the curtains opened revealing us. However, I got people laughing and cheering throughout the entire show. I also managed to engage the audience more than once! I have to say I've had one of the two largest fan clubs in the show, the other one being for E.C. It was pretty awesome, at the end of the show a swarm of people came flooding into the backstage to hug me.

Come after the show, E.C. says that there's going to be a party at his house. Everyone's all pumped and we all arrive there at like 11 after breaking down the set. Nearly everyone leaves at midnight or shortly thereafter. I'm still there but being the only person there that doesn't really play video games, by the time J.C. left all they were talking about was Call of Duty. I barely even know that game exists so I was sitting there in a bathing suit and a towel by the fire listening quietly. Eventually, I just felt awkward and left. And here I am!

Rehearsal

This week has been...insane. I really have no idea how to describe it except for insane. At the very least we've been staying in school rehearsing until 6pm every night this week, most of which is involving our director yelling at us. Yesterday was the worst, though. I didn't get home until about 10pm, the director was full-on screaming at us for the most ridiculous reasons. By the time we were finished my mom picked me up and we went out to a Japanese restaurant just to relax and calm down because my stress level was through the roof. All of us are exhausted now because very few of us have gotten any kind of sleep. As I type I'm yawning and starting to space out. It's pretty bad.

Today has been possibly the best one, though! I'm so happy about it and so thankful to the gods for today because yesterday was just ghastly. Our angry director was off at some meeting all day so our nice director started to take over again. All of the acts went smoothly, everyone was happy, and we got out at like 6:45 for an entire runthrough! That includes all of us going and a few breaks in between. Few breaks being about 15 minutes each. So for us starting at 3:30 with at least 45 minutes cumulative breaktime, that is really solid for a hell week rehearsal. I'm very happy about it.

Our director today told us that our shirts for the dance routine are in the gym during a break, so all of the contestants and the hosts and some sponsors did a mass-field trip over there. Of course, the shirts weren't there but we had a lot of fun just running around together as we went on a treasure hunt throughout the P.E. department. After a while we gave up, whereupon I mention that I have dinner in my locker that my mom was great enough to give to me this morning. The entire horde immediately ran to my locker and the second I pulled out the bag I was besieged by a mob of hungry contestants and a hostess. It looked like something out of Mean Girls when Cady imagines all the people acting like animals. I was greatly amused. A few minutes later, all of us are sitting in the lobby of the auditorium having a picnic of lunchables and goldfish. It was a great bonding experience and I'm very happy for today going so well.
