Valentines Day

Alright, so tomorrow is Valentines Day and for the 19th year in a row... I'm single for it. Now don't get me wrong, power to all of your guys's love and relationships and whatnot. But it's another day in the year where it's spotlighted that I'm not in a relationship. It's not even so much that I'm not seeing someone, it's that everyone is busy on dates or 'sticking it to the man' and being single and going out and all that. When really, all I want to do is stay in and watch some movies with a friend or two.
I'm not depressed or anything like that, but I could very well be drunk tomorrow by myself if it comes to it. Literally by myself 'cause I can't text or talk to anyone 'cause they are all with their boyfriend or girlfriend. Meh. I'm not one for this 'holiday' and never was. And maybe one day I will be, but I doubt that day will ever happen unless I find someone.  And even then it's iffy, 'cause it's just another day for people in relationships. They get to see that person they are dating. And I know what you're say: "You're 19, you're young, you've got lots of time to find someone" And as true as that may be, I've been patient for 19 years and it'd be nice for maybe a little bit of light to guide the way.
I guess I'm one sided 'cause this day is all about love, and if you're like me and have never been in love, then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. And I wouldn't even really be writing this Blog if it wasn't for the fact that the closest person to me in this moment just cancelled our plans. So really, I just didn't want to be alone on this day for various reasons that shall remain unnamed.
So, that is my not so worldly rare valentines rant as random and jumbled as it may be. I know what I'm talking about. :)

Stuff My Professors Say...

So, being a Drama student you have a lot of eccentric teachers and sometimes the stuff they say is so funny you can't contain yourself. Maybe it's just us and you won't get what's so funny but we do. :) This will be an ongoing blog post as the year goes on. Updates could very well be daily.

Prof 1: *Draws 2 lines on the board that cross* "What does this represent?"
Students: "Jesus, Cross, Christianity, etc."
Prof 1: *Draws another one and cuts it into dashes* "Alright, so now which one is stronger? Which one would the KKK have trouble burning on your front lawn?"

Prof 1: "What is more appealing to sleep on? A rock? Sandpaper? Or something fuzzy and warm?"
Students: "Fuzzy and warm of course."
Student #1: "Sandpaper"
Prof 1: "Why?"
Student #1 "It's exfoliating"
Prof 1: "Yes, because I'm sure homeless people have great skin."

Prof 2: *Talking about getting stage directions right* "I don't think you guys acknowledge your dyslexia sometimes"

Scary Movies

Scary movies and I get along like a fat kid and a candy bar. There is no separating us no matter how hard you try. You can bribe me with something but I'll go right back to my Horror Movies. Don't get me wrong, I love all genre's of movies, but Horror is my favorite.

My very first Horror movie, I watched with my sister when I was just a little tyke. Is was the infamous Exorcist movie. That movie scared me so much that it scared the fear out of me. Nothing has ever scared me since that movie. I'd be the fearless guy in the movie who goes into the closet to see what that noise was only to find out that it was like some Killer Cat with Rabis or something like that. (Side note. I hate cats with a passion) Movies will get my heart racing but I won't scream, jump, or do any of the regular pre-teen girl things. Except for once. In a public place. This is my story...

Last year Me, my room mate, and a couple of our friends went out to see Zombieland. (I know what you're thinking. "Colton, what happened? This is a comedy. Come on. Get real") Well, this is real. We arrived a little late and it was opening weekend so the Theatre was packed. The only seats were at the very front. So we walk in with popcorn and drinks in hand and we saw the crowd and were like "What the hell? What's with the people?" So we find a spot and plunk down and crank our necks to a 90 degree angle to see a quarter of the screen. So we are watching and I was texting my bestie. (I hate Tommy Texters in the theatre but he is never around his phone so when he replies, I reply fast. Only time I ever texted in the theatre.) So I finished writing a text message and grabbed my popcorn and looked up at the screen. The second I looked up there was a split second of silence and then the damn clown (I hate clowns) flies out of the bathroom! I was not prepared in the least. I jumped so high I did the total movie theatre jump where POPCORN FLIES ALL OVER EVERYONE!! My friends were not impressed with me at all. So there was only one thing I could do... I giggles like a little girl and when we left I called my best friend and told him what momentous occasion he just missed out on.

Well, that's my story. If you have any you'd like to share, please feel free to tell me! :)

Marriage

Today I asked Kathy Griffin to marry me over Twitter. She hasn't replied... Yet.

Isn't she the classiest woman you've ever seen?
