his energetic fist should be ready to resist a dictatorial word

HMS Pinafore is so much fun! Everyone is so nice and loving and talented and supportive and intelligent - crazily intelligent. The girl who plays Josephine works in hedge funds and is starting her own financial advising company! I met another girl who is applying to Columbia and NYU for neuroscience! And such beautiful voices! It's really great!

The conductor always says I'm the "smiley" one - and he can't stop looking at me when he's conducting because I always look like I"m having so much fun. We had a preview performance for the G&S society today - he said "it was a pleasure watching you as always" at the end. I find this hysterical - since I feel like I have no idea what is going on. (everyone else went to school for music - or started in music but switched to - oh ---- neuroscience or calculus...) so I'm the only one who can't read music and has not sung in a choir since 9th grade...

But I get a beautiful dress - I'm apparently a very well dressed Vulcan woman! So I'm excited.

And then of course - I"m singing for Mary's showcase in two weeks! EEEEK! Get to sing LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA and THE PHYSICIAN. Oddly the Physician is harder for me - since I'm supposed to be sexy - and - I'm much better at acting like a retarded 28 year old than a sexy 28 year old apparently...

I did the evil deed today - and told the roommate she had to move. It's sad because she just moved in and I was so excited about her - but - I can't have someone who lies in the apt. Flashbacks of "I didn't use your efax account" "I didn't use your contact information"etc... are too vivid and it's been my experience with both Batman and Miss C. where there is smoke tehre is fire! So far - I've caught in her TWO MAJOR lies - plus found her in my room - "using the mirror" - she has boys over without asking or giving me a heads up - so I sit there on the sofa in my pajamas completely surprised - doesnt do dishes - leave the bathroom a freaking mess - hasnt unpacked yet - (because NOOOO WHy would I want to be able to sit down on my sofa? I dont want to do that - it's much better to store your UGG boots there!) - even after I asked her too - asked me to NOT cash her check until october 6th (Rent is due on the 1st) - just all these things which would be ok - if she didnt f-ing LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I'm super proud of myself for standing my ground - and having enough respect for myself to say "I'm not going to tolerate it!"

But - to end this journal on a happy note - Nancy gave me "goods" on PETITE ALLEGRO! THAT NEVER HAPPPENS! so yay happy ballet class.

And = I've discovered the glory of the egg white omelette - and thank my friends for sharing awesome omelette recipes with me!
