It appears i've abandoned my livejournal. I haven't written in this thing since like October so here's a quick update. Right now I'm acting in something for the Greensboro Fringe Festival. It's exciting because I haven't done non school related theatre in about 4 years. Also, I get paid. Don't anyone get too excited though, I think last year the pay rate was like 20 bucks an actor, but still it's the first paying gig of my chosen profession. It will be the 28th and 29th at 8 pm (and there's a 2 pm show on the 29th) at the Broach Theatre downtown Greensboro. It's a funny show that spoofs Myspace in a quirky way. Please come if you can! I think student tickets are like 7$.
Cool. so there's that. Midsummer Night's Dream rehearsals start in February - so that's very exciting. Everything's going well right now.. but I guess it's only the beginning of the semester... ask me again in a month and it'll be a whole different ballgame. a whole different ballgame. I usually don't say things like "a whole different ballgame."
Goodnight!

Fall Break is nice for things like doing laundry, spending quality time with your pets and family, and catching up on school work that you're behind on. Okay...so I havent been doing too much of the latter, but at least I'm thinking about it. I went to Charleston for a few days. It rained most of the time, but still, it was nice. The beach is so relaxing. There's just something about water and sand that goes on for miles that puts things into perspective. The Fall One Acts are approaching. I'm nervous.
Shhhhhh.

I'm already stressed and it's not even September. Taking three acting classes in a row was not a good idea. My roommate Julia and I are addicted to freezer pops, and I miss my cat. I'm also having weird dreams about random people. Hmmm.

It feels really good to be back. I know I always say that, but I guess that's because it's always true.
Also, I'd like to retract the statement made on a few entries back. The one about there being two kinds of people in the world - those that find Anchorman humorous and those that don't. Anchorman was on TV the other day so I decided to give it another shot. I have now come to the conclusion that it's not so bad after all... I may even have laughed a few times.
"There are two groups of people in the world: those who believe that the world can be divided into two groups of people, and those who don't."
Cool.
current mood: content

I made ginger-peach frozen yogurt today.
I don't like people who play games.
Many people think I'm shy.
I am shy with people I don't know well or people who make me nervous.
Poison ivy is a bitch - much like trying to switch cell phone companies.
The peach frozen yogurt wasn't that good.
That's all really.

Leaving NCSA today. It was really hard saying goodbye to my girls. I could not have asked for a better hall. I'm exhausted so I think I'll sleep, but for the record: I'm really glad I decided to come back this summer.

I went to the movie theatre earlier to buy tickets for the 9:55 showing of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and one of the ticket sellers was busy reading the new Harry Potter book. She was really close to the end and I wanted to ask her how it was, but interrupting her seemed like a mean thing to do. So I didn't. It was just nice to think that she'd probably been up all night reading and that she wasn't going to stop until she was finished.
My hall is so quiet.... odd for a Saturday evening. Makes me feel better about taking a night off.
and
I stopped biting my nails for real now. It's really exciting.
also
I'm almost ready to be back at school. almost.
current mood: lovely

I'm eating cherries. They are very sweet and much more delicious than the way too sweet frosting that was on a piece of cake that I ate earlier that I should not have had. Run on? I think not. Run off.
Also. I found two dollars in the street today. They were all wet from the rain, but I didn't care. It made me feel so lucky.

I never really update, yet I like knowing that I always have the option to. Things are going well here at NCArts. A lot of disorganization and drama, but that's really not anything new. My good friend (Alice) and I made grilled salmon with angel hair pasta for dinner. Delicious. For dessert we had dark chocolate covered espresso beans.
The world is made up of two kinds of people. One that finds the movie "Anchorman" hysterically funny, and the other that doesn't.
Screw you. I'm cool, and brilliant.

So let's see. A lot's happened while I've been away. I'll give a quick update. My brother graduated from high school - that was cool. (He's in college now? so weird.) Then, my brother, father, and I traveled to Fort Worth, Texas to stay with my aunt, uncle and cousins for a week. The weather was hot, the food was delicious - and the water sports were a blast. So now I'm back in HKY for a week. On the 14th I'll be heading to Winston Salem for another summer session at NCSA. I'm looking forward to it. It wasn't my first choice, but I'm glad it worked out this way. (visitors, by the way, will be most welcome!)
It appears that while I was incommunicado, I was "tagged" by a fellow LJer and must now...
List five songs that you are currently digging ... it doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words or even if they're any good but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions, the artist and the song in your blog along with your five songs. Then tag five other people to see what they're listening to.
Road Trippin' - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Everybody Got Their Something - Nikka Costa
Justified Black Eye - Joey Cape & Tony Sly
Neutroniks - K-OS
Somewhere Only We Know - Keane
So...I'm not going to tag anyone, but if you'd like to play along, you are more than welcome. Stay away from the caffeine young ones.
current mood: I'm funky fresh, yo

good morning, son.
i am a bird
wearing a brown polyester shirt
you want a coke?
maybe some fries?
the roast beef combo’s only $9.95
it’s okay, you don’t have to pay
i’ve got all the change.
everybody knows
it hurts to grow up
and everybody does
it’s so weird to be back here
let me tell you what
the years go on and
we’re still fighting it, we’re still fighting it
and you’re so much like me
i’m sorry
good morning, son
in twenty years from now
maybe we’ll both sit down and have a few beers
and I can tell you ‘bout today
and how I picked you up and everything changed
it was pain
sunny days and rain
i knew you’d feel the same things
everybody knows
it sucks to grow up
and everybody does
it’s so weird to be back here.
let me tell you what
the years go on and
we’re still fighting it, we’re still fighting it
you’ll try and try and one day you’ll fly
away from me
good morning, son
i am a bird
it was pain
sunny days and rain
i knew you’d feel the same things
and you’re so much like me
i’m sorry
current mood: peaceful

I'm on an updating frenzy. 3 in the past 2 days. Crazy. Not really. I felt that I had to write the obligatory "I'm halfway through with college" post though. So here it is. Halfway through. In all seriousness, it is moving more quickly than I thought it would. I remember my first acting class. There were 10 of us then. We were all trying so hard. Some of us still do. I remember all of us being intimidated by Matt's playcards with run on sentences and big words. I thought he was an asshole. I remember people thought I was really shy. I was just... quiet. I usually am with people I don't know well. I thought everyone was. People read into silence too much. I wonder what it is that's so uncomfortable about quiet. Maybe people think that quiet people are silently judging them. I don't know at all how people see me, but I know it's much different from the way I see myself.
I miss my dad. Sometimes I get really bad Holland cravings. Today I'm having one. Lindsay and I went out to front campus for awhile. I'm going to miss her too much this summer. It's weird missing people during summers. You miss them for awhile, and then just when you start to accept the fact that you don't see them.... you get to go back to school and see them again. It's weird to take a 3 month break from your life.
Love love love.

9 am workcalls in the rain on Reading Day = no fun
especially when you have auditions for a musical at 3 pm.
cigarettes and chocolate milk
these are just a couple of my cravings
everything it seems I like's a little bit stronger
a little bit thicker, a little bit harmful for me
If I should buy jellybeans
have to eat them all in just one sitting
everything it seems I like's a little bit sweeter
a little bit fatter, a little bit harmful for me
and then there's those other things
which for several reasons we won’t mention
everything about 'em is a little bit stranger, a little bit harder
a little bit deadly
current mood: auditions

Today David asked me how my year went. I was surprised by the fact that I didn't really know how to answer that question. At first I mumbled something like "it's been pretty good." Of course, they wanted more than that and I felt silly for being so vague, but I really didn't know what to say.
So much has happened this year. As an actor, I've grown a lot - not enough to satisfy me, but enough so that's good. As a student, I tried to keep everything together as best I could - think my GPA is hanging in there.
but as me, Elisabeth Bokhoven, I'm not sure how my year was..
I feel like I've taken a lot for granted. Here I am going to this beautiful private school - pursuing this degree that has my whole family concerned about my future, (What are you going to do with a degree in Theatre???) and I spend the majority of my time griping about things that in the long run, won't make much difference.
I've tried to do the right things... to say the right things. I just feel like I've given a lot of myself to people who don't really care as much as I'd like them to, and that's no fun. So I've made a decision to be more selfish with myself next year. By selfish, I don't mean bitch... I mean... wise.
I need a summer to be away and then I'm going to come back and work my ass off.
current mood: determined and tired.

It's 4/20 bitches. You know what that means.
You know what I'm going to say....
....It's time for the Spring Dance Concert! You should come. It's free. It's on the Huggins Stage in Odell at 7:30 tonight. Tomorrow night too. Yay!
I'm doing well. I'm a little behind in a few things. Bad news - I have to present my second monologue package tomorrow in acting. Scary. Good News - David is letting me direct the One Act that I want to direct next year. Sweet. Still haven't found a place to live for next year. It worries me a bit. I'm craving dried pineapple right now. Is that even how you spell pineapple? Let's hope so.
I know I jump around a lot. I don't do it to be fun and random, it's just a thought pattern that happens and it's better than me trying to be poetic or tell you what I had for lunch today. Though I do that sometimes too. Love to you all. Be safe.
