The interesting about college is that you can make up any history that you want. Really, that’s the interesting thing about anywhere you go. I can’t tell you how many times i heard freshman brag about all the alchohol they’d previously knocked back before getting trashed last night; they had selectively re-written their personal history so that it fit the image they were trying to project. I don’t personally begrudge them this right; in fact, i find it intriguing. I’ve personally rewritten quite a few of my highschool exploits through the virtue of mentioning them briefly and then staying mum about them. The silence i leave hanging lets people use their own imaginations, which writes me a much better history than the one i actually have brought with me. Of course, i’ve now re-established a solid history at Drexel over the past year. Whether that’s good or not, i don’t really know. I think the point might be that no matter how many times you rewrite your own history, you repeat it.

Last night was an enjoyable lark … i didn’t get back to the apartment until nearly 4am. It’s always nice to prove to myself that i can head out to party with some friends without drinking and still have as much or more fun than they’re having. In the midst of all this i managed to get some flirting in (more on that later), watch about 10 consecutive keg-stands (don’t ask), and keep vigil over several less-sober parties in varying degrees of self-destruction. As with all good parties there were some sing-a-longs, one freshman who vomited, and a totally shocking hook-up. And i wasn’t involved in any of the three!

I also nearly told off the editor of the triangle after he made a disparaging comment about my “epic length reviews.” I thought better of the telling off (but not before making a few choice comments about their typical reviews), mostly because the man is a simp. I don’t mean to be too full of myself, but i’m a Journalism major with a minor in Music. I am qualified to write CD reviews, at the very least. He edits an irreverantly whiney school newspaper. He is qualified to kiss my ass. End of story. Anyhow, i figured it makes no sense for me to bitch and moan about the bastard, because i already know tons of people are reading my articles, and that they want me to be a news-writer. Bitching will be saved for my hostile takeover later this year :P,

Last night i basically told one of my directors down at the theatre that i despise production work and acting bores me. Of course, that’s all true, but i didn’t really need to be so blunt. I am so unattracted to working in theatre that i’ve began to wonder why i did it in the first place… of course, i know: in high school theatre was the only extracurricular activity that i had any semblance of seniority in. Despite putting hard work in on every other group, i either was never offered leadership or never wanted it. in college, the roles have been reversed; i have to scrap and fight for small roles in theatre, but i can go to any other activity and quickly make a name for myself with dedication and hard work. When i can be an active and valued member in the Triangle as well as my fraternity in six short weeks, it’s no wonder why i’m still not too enthused about the theatre after a whole year.
