Separate Thoughts
Aug. 7th, 2002 02:10 am1. Conformity/nonconformity, and how much I hate nonconformity for nonconformity's sake just as much as conformity. The former is at least as unthinking as the latter. I prefer to be on the side of what is right, whether the rest of humanity be with me or no. There are some minorities that are not worth being part of.
From the same foundation springs my unwillingness to slap a political label on myself. Though much of what I think may be of the liberal sort, I don't want to confine myself to it, or take it for granted. It's too easy to start thinking that "since I am aligned with x ideology, then everything I think must then be in accordance with x ideology."
2. If I were staging The Winter's Tale, I'd have the cast in leather, or even bondage gear. Leontes and Paulina would carry whips. It's all about the power issues.
3. Lately I've begun to have the urge to bail pronto from the course I've set for myself for the past two years. Even to the point of almost entertaining the thought of remaining in Albuquerque and somehow doing theater things, thought ultimately staying in Albuquerque is not what I want. The next thought was to switch majors to theater, but I'm not really inclined to even attempt trying to do so and still graduate without taking extra time. If I were going to be a sophomore this year instead of a junior, perhaps I would consider it more carefully, but since that is not the case, the idea will remain just that. But doing theater in my "spare" time is both appealing and possible. I think.
4. It is nearly the third day off from the show, and my brain is still spouting out lines/sequences of lines at random. Hell, they've even shown up in my dreams.
