Dec 14:

Today is one of recovered memories – things I had forgotten I loved. Maybe it’s the snow that does that. I love snow. It puts me in a good place; I don’t know if it’s happy or what, but it’s a good feeling. Today specifically I speak of the plays of George F. Walker. Now that was the most rewarding school project I think I’ve ever done, because otherwise I never would have been introduced to the man’s delightfully funny, morbid, twisted, shocking plays. I think I would like to read everything he wrote, if given the chance. OAC drama probably was the best class I ever had in High School, so many fun experiences, so many awesome people, George F Walker, and of course Melissa. I keep wishing I could go back to that sort of innocence. Today’s other haunting spectre of the past is ‘Is This Desire?’ by PJ Harvey. I’d really forgotten how much I love that album, now probably as much due to the nostalgic effect as the quality of music, though it is very high I must say. So my advice for today in order to recapture wonderful times gone and done with: listen to PJ Harvey, read a play by George F Walker, and fall in love. I’ve got the first two covered. And in the meantime, I should do some studying for the Theatre and Film exam (Which, based on present feelings, is looking like a large possibility for a major) I’d really rather be writing though. I like my play again, though there’s a lot of work to be done as far as plotting is concerned. I hope everyone is having a lovely day, and not being stressed out over anything.
