Red Notebook: September 9, 2002
September 9, 2002
Tonite, I attended my first poetry reading. Can you believe it? Me, of all people, at a poetry reading. It was actually sort of interesting. I kind of had this idea in my mind of what I though it would be like: some guy getting up in front of a bunch of people, reciting poem after poem about shit I could care less about. Endless and daunting; an otherwise waste of time. But the guy, Jonathon Johnson was loud, articulate, funny, and VERY insightful. During the Q&A segment, I asked him how to cure writer's block. I have to try it sometime. He’s just a really nice guy.
Let’s see...I have this Oedipus quiz tomorrow...grr. I’ve heard stories about these quizzes. I’ve been through the story and my notes what seems like a hundred times. You know what? Fuck it. If I don’t know it now, I won’t know it tomorrow. But I think I have a pretty good grasp on it though. I actually like the story! It was very easy to understand (compared to Shakespeare) and everything was so intertwined. You know, I’m actually looking forward to failing it. That way I’ll know what to expect next time.
Auditions are tomorrow. Wish me luck ladies.
I swear my handwriting gets weirder and weirder.
Cheers.
J. Didn’t I tell you she was funny?
