My name is Colleen. I like things. Including you, probably.
sometimes I twit
:)
Also, today I found out I’ve been given a few really lucky breaks:
- My History of Women teacher is going to be out for the rest of the semester (a week basically) so we’ve got a sub. The assignments for the class are all submitted online, with a due date for each. The sub decided to open up all the old assignments so that anything we didn’t do earlier in the semester and thought we’d missed out on is now available. I can make up ALL MY MISSED WORK. She says she’s going to grade us leniently, too; she just wants to see that we complete things, mostly.
Also, she gave this GREAT lecture on women in America from 1945-present, which is what our third essay is on. Complete with a full outline she handed out. Our normal teacher hardly even taught. I simply cannot believe this luck.
- My Anthropology teacher handed back our old assignments, and he gave me full credit on all of mine. Even the ones that were weeks late. I’m pretty sure he gave me a break because my sister explained about my computer problems? And maybe he counted Long Bridge as extra credit! Whatever — this means I probably have an A! Way better than I thought!
So I’m predicting a B in Debate, an A in Anthropology, an A in History of Women, and a C in History of Rock. We’ll see!
i'm bad at being on hiatus apparently but school's looking up! the bad news is that this means definitely more hiatusToday was the Intramural Debate!
The two debate teachers picked a handful of their best students from each of their six total Beginning classes to debate against each other tournament-style. Because of a mix-up, I ended up with no partner. NO PARTNER. So I was going up against teams of two and handling the duties of both the leader and the member. It was tough! But I think I managed okay, sort of.
First round: “Mitt Romney is the best choice for President in 2012.”
I was Opposition, and I won!
Second round: “The US Federal Government should substantially reform immigration policy.”
I was Government, and I lost. I know nothing about immigration policy! But it was a good debate.
I met a really cool guy in the first debate named Danny who turned out to be an actor! It was so great! He’s a Cinema and TV Something major at Cal State Northridge, and once he found out I was a Theatre major he encouraged me to check Northridge out. It was great! We talked about acting and how it relates to debate and whatnot. He was awesome!
i'm on hiatus i promise
My friends Eric and Veronica stopped by today to give me a late birthday present: a pair of Batman socks and a pair of BATMAN SUSPENDERS.
Yes. BATMAN SUSPENDERS.
Home on a Saturday night, by choice, with my guitar and banjo. And I know I have at least two tumblr friends out there who are doing the same with their banjo and mando, respectively. Why can’t we be in the same place??
It’s true! we really need to organize some kind of tumblr jamboree. Meet halfway you guys? It would be fantastic to play with other folk musicians - there isn’t one to be found in Jersey, apparently.
We should try to pick a festival to attend next summer! And then Tumblr Jamboree can be a reality!
I’m willing to come from California for this!!
I WILL SCRIMP AND SAVE and bring my ukulele! and my voice! i'm on hiatus i promiseCommercials are so much less effective when you know the actors in them.
That man? He’s the director of the community college play I’m auditioning for tonight.
Tony, you are truly the bees’ knees.
This is the Tony I keep mentioning!

Tonight after burgers, Dad, the four siblings, and my sister’s boyfriend sat and played cards. It was a ton of fun.
At one point, Luke turned to me and said, “Oh hey Colleen, I’m thinking I’m going to sing a Chris Thile song for Cabaret next year.”
Me: “REALLY??? Which one?!”
Luke: “You have one year to guess.”
So I was trying to get hints like which album it was from, but he didn’t know that, so eventually (after saying I’d get “one guess every ten questions”) the hint he gave was that “the beginning and end are similar, but the middle part is really different.”
I thought for a moment. “Wrong Idea?”
He stared/glared at me.
“HOW DID YOU GET THAT ON THE FIRST GUESS. I WANTED THAT TO TAKE A YEAR.”
Turns out he’s been listening to the mp3 player we used to share.
I’m so proud.
i played him On Ice later and he's now considering that one too muahahaha Deceiver will be his gateway drug to more Thile madness i love my little brother some things are too awesome for hiatus chris thile

Okay, Tumblbuddies, it appears to be that time again.
I’ve got two weeks left of school, and a forkliftful of work to do in that time. And I know that if I don’t officially go on hiatus, I’ll make up all sorts of excuses, like “well I’ve done one assignment, I can do the other four after I have some tumblr time”, or “I’m sure I’ll be more in the mood to work after I scroll the dashboard for a while”, or “I’m not addicted I CAN QUIT WHENEVER I WANT”.
So this is goodbye.
For a fortnight! I’ll check messages probably, and maybe a couple blogs, but that is it.
Hope you have a good two weeks!
