Improv and Harry Potter

tabular_rasaGoal for the weekend: Write at least 6000 words for NaNo-- possibly even as as many as it takes to get me up to 25000, to get me halfway through my book ^_^
I only have a few assignments to do, thankfully; I don't have the Crossing Borders report anymore, lol, and I only have a short paper for Japanese Civilization.
I had a Japanese test, and I probably did crappy. I was really confused at one point, and didn't speak for about like two minutes, and I also probably didn't use my vocabulary to the best of my ability, because I answered in the shortest, best answers possible-- and they want to see what you KNOW.
Then we had an Improv workshop. It was very nice. I think the guys had a different philosophy on Improv-- sort of as "serious" depiction of real life, drawing the funniness out of it, rather than really trying for it (though no one really tries for it, it's more the length one goes to get it, or whatever). It was more life a performance art sort of thing. Yet it gave us a different perspective to work with, a sort of more sobering, options-open, keep-the-first-scene-subtle-so-that-the-later-eccentricities-are-even-funnier sort of outlook. We worked really well with it, I think, though I'm not sure how much we drew out of it for our actual show . . .
We all went out to dinner, which was fun, and were nearly late to our own show :-P
A larger group of my friends were planning on going to go, but only Lisa showed up (lol, I'll blame Patricia's Pre-Frosh-- silly shopping-obsessed girl), but I didn't really mind. I just thought it was funny/great because I did a Harry Potter scene (I practically played myself-- a woman obsessed with Harry Potter! Lol . . . )! It was dedicated to Lisa! Woot! Lol . . .
Then we all sat around and watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (got to get in the mood for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), because Keith and Sush hadn't seen it, and they needed to get up on it (since Keith can't read the books in time O.o)-- even though Keith hadn't even seen the second one. Lisa and I tried to fill him in in about like two seconds:
Harry fights a snake. Ginny has a crush on Harry (but you knew that already). Ron and Harry crash a car into a tree. There is a crying ghost and a House-Elf who looks like Anu. Dumbledore believes in free will. Lucius Malfoy is a dick-bastard.
Anyway, lol . . .
I talked through the whole movie. I was TERRIBLE about that, lol . . . I'm sorry, everybody! I just have so much to say on the subject . . . I don't know what I'm going to do during the fourth movie, lol . . . probably just wait until I go home and prepare to write a journal entry, lol . . .
Some random people borrowed my Mulan movie for some bet, lol . . . so random . . .
I got invited to a party via Facebook. I feel somewhat special, now, lol . . .
