Holy hell.
I currently am in a youth hostel in NYC. Insane. I'm having a time,. to say the vaguest. Good? Bad? Whatever. It all depends on the events. See, yesterday we spent NINE HOURS STRAIGHT on a charter bus coming down here from maine. It was fun enough, but boring, and my legs hurt (understandably). Then, we got to the hostel. Then, we ate. Then we walked around confusedly for HOURS! Mind you, at this point it is dark, right? Like, thirty white-as-sheets kids from Maine wandering around the dark streets of NYC without an official destination. That really pissed me off. BUT- the night was not lost. At 11:30 we went to see a theatre thing; Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind. It was 30 plays in 60 minutes by the Neo-Futurists. If you're ever in NYC, GO TO THE FREAKING OUTER BOROUGHS AND SEE IT! It was incredible. Hilarious, and forceful, too. I died. THe people who performed it were the coolest people EVER. I want them all to live with me and be my special friends and bear my children and it will all be so very special. It made my life. It was the best thing I've ever seen.

It started out by paying. The method of paying was to roll a die. Whatever number you got, you multiply by one (so they say) and then add to nine. That's how much you pay. We didn't have to, though, we were already taken care of. We then walked into this really cool room, where one of the people would ask your name and write it on a "Hello My Name Is" tag. But instead of writing your name they'd name you whatever. I ended up being Ouija because my namer likes Morrissey. Pam was Pin, Tiki was Christmas, Jeff was Dip (ha!). Automatically I knew that this was awesome. Then they explained how it worked. They had 30 two minute plays, and each one began with 'go' and ended with 'curtain'. As soon as you heard 'curtain', you screamed out the number of the play that you personally wanted to see, and they'd rip the first one they heard down off a clothesline and performed it. My (and most likely everyone's) favorite was called "Fun with Fruit", in which two of the guys merely took a bite out of the side of a bananna so it looked like it was screaming, and then they ran around screaming. I think you'd have to see it to get it. So go ahead, try it at home, kids!

Anyway, being the huge merch whore I am, I got a shirt which I am wearing right now. And a pin. But that was free. Because they were so damn cool. I want to marry them all, even the girls. It was incredible, and had me shatting in laughter.

Well. Now it's Saturday. I'm not even sure what we're doing today. Oh well.

Hmm. I only have 5 min 30 sec left on the internet, so I'm gonna go now. Love you all!
