You Suck

It's been a long time since I've done a blog like this, and I'm definitely in need of one right now. And besides, the last time I made time to blog, it was a happy one. So, here is a brand spanking new installment of Things That Make Jeremy Mad.

*Headaches that last all day and get worse after conducting a show while playing the piano. I pretty much end up head-banging for two hours.
*My DVR froze today when it was supposed to be recording Six Feet Under, and so now I may have lost two episodes (I've been recording them all to DVD as they've aired edited on Bravo).
*It drives me nuts when people try to guilt me or just give me a hard time when I'm unable to make it to some kind of get-together (Lindsay & Melinda this has NOTHING to do with you- I just want to be clear, since you both have talked to me about how sad you are that I can't make it up to Salt Lake tomorrow night). If I'm ornery because I don't feel well, then bugging me about it is only going to make me worse. Trust me.
*I'm not a fan of directors who go backstage in the middle of performances to tell the actors that they're having a crappy show. That only results in a crappier show.
*Speaking of what makes a show crappy....I hate it when people on a production staff drop the ball on a show- especially when the actors are all volunteering their time and are doing a fantastic job. It's not fair. If you agree to do something, DO IT! Especially if you're getting paid.
*And while we're on the topic of shows, I hate, hate, HATE shows where the director and/or cast members want everything to be just like the cast recording or a video of another production. It's called "creativity"-- look into it.
*I'm trying to put together my school schedule for next semester, and I'm having a really hard time. The classes I need to take don't want to work with each other. I'm going to end up with a couple days where I'm in class FAR too long, and other days where I have big stretches with no class at all.
*I was just watching the newest episode of Prison Break, and I somehow lost 9 minutes of it. UGH!
*I hate that I've had such bad experiences with girls (ie, they ALWAYS cheat) that I can only trust them when my intentions are purely friendly. Guh.
*I hate reading. Especially since I have to read 4 books in the next two weeks for school.
*I had to go to Wal-Mart tonight (despite the headache) to get stuff to make a very late birthday cake for David tomorrow, and they're COMPLETELY out of any kind of caramel sauce. What the?! Nothing else nearby was still open as far as I knew, and I'm not going to go buy any tomorrow. So, I'll be trying to make homemade caramel sauce for Better Than Sex cake tomorrow. Wish me luck. I've never made caramel sauce before.

Ugh. I think that's it. Just because I feel bad about being pessimistic, I have to list some things that make me happy, too.

*The temple. Wow. I can't wait until this next week is over so I can make time to go back.
*I love the cast of Nunsense. They're awesome.
*I love the cast of Superman (even though the show ended a month ago). I'm really ticked that the show didn't do better and that more people didn't see it.
*I'm doing much better in school than I thought I would be a month ago. I'm REALLY stressed still, and I have no time for ANYTHING, but I'm still managing some pretty good grades. Other than last semester's 4.0 (with only a couple classes), this will probably be my highest GPA in college ever.
*We gain an hour tonight!
*I have a night off in a few days!

Phew. That was very therapeutic.
