F.Y.E. #9

A superb thing has happened, I got a check from Gallaudet University that I got too much scholarship so they have to give me the excess money over the limit. So I got the check last week, I decided to talk with my father first. His simple words, “You are on your own, you are going to learn how to budget with this large amount of money. Once you spend on foolish, your loss.” So I decide to spend on goods and things I really need and is useful.
Last Sunday, I decided to go to Wheaton Mall, I went to Lenscrafter’s to buy a glasses because I have only contact lenses and really OUT-DATED glasses, I had that glasses since my sophomore year and I refused to use it in here because it is so embarrassing. The glasses have silver thin rims and really loose, like old grandma glasses. So it is time to CHANGE! I picked a cool Vogue glasses with thick black square rims with white and silver glitters on the ends.
I went to Forever 21 and there was a sale so I brought a cute red jacket with big oversized buttons on front and top of shoulders for only twenty two dollars. I saw exact same jacket in target and it costs fifty five dollars! Then my friends and I went to shopping spree in American Eagle which I brought a cute dark pink and white checkered buttoned shirt, dark loose gray blouse (good for covering a tank top under it) from Forever 21, cute “half” boots with fur which looks like slippers, black and gray skirt tights, and hair dye with dark brunette strawberry color from Target, liquid room scented “Christmas Cookie” with sticks to smell more around the room from Yankee Candles, “Pocahontas”, “UP”, “Tomb Raider”, and “Legend of the Fall” from a huge sale at F.Y.E., and a game called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 from Game Stop for my brother (Which I lost a bet with him so I have to buy him a sixty dollars game!).
I came back to Gallaudet University with many bags and a huge smile because I am so GLAD that I actually brought what I really needed, especially for movies.. I am a movie freak so I am tempted to buy them. So I am done shopping for myself but I am so ready for Black Friday after Thanksgiving for my siblings and family’s Christmas presents!!!

On October 29, 2009, I was a usher at theater for Spoon River. I have worn black pants and white shirt. I came at 6:30 P.M. and helped the house manager by cleaning around the halls and chairs before 7:30 P.M. which the viewers will come. When the first viewer came, I torn his ticket and gave him a pamphlet for the show. The first opening night, we got around seventy-five people watching. At the middle of the movie, almost twenty-five people left because the movie talked too much and too confusing for some people, it was not confusing for me because I have the director, Ethan Sinott as my teacher in my class, Script Translation to A.S.L. every Tuesday and Thursday. Also I did read the book by Edgar Masters called Spoon River Anthology.
Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Masters and adapted by Ethan Sinott talked about over 260 characters being ghosts and got up from their graves and told in backstabbing way against other characters, for an example, one person killed the talking character. Then next scene, the killer will talk about denying that he killed the character. The movie is so complex for some people who don’t know what the movie is about. They have to read the summaries from internet and read the book by Edgar Masters to understand. Many of my friends watched themselves and in the end, they asked me a lot of questions because they don’t even understand the movie. I think the reason they are unable to understand because of the movie was cutted into about 90 characters from around 260 characters because the director don’t have enough time to film and edit all of the characters.
I was a character in the movie, I was Daisy Fraser and I was the town prostitute. I looked a bright white ghost which that time I had blonde hair and was wearing a white dress. I stood behind white hall. So it was so fascinating for almost every viewers because they thought that was so tripping for a girl in white and signed with her hands which was so tan and her eyes was so blue. My favorite character in the movie is Mrs. Sibley because she got the shortest monologue than others but it was the most powerful which impacted me. She talked about she had sex with many men even she had a husband which was a priest. Also I liked her because she don’t like to tell everybody that she had sex with men and don’t know which one is the father. She died with the baby in her stomach and nobody knows who was the father ever.

FYE #7

Yesterday is Halloween! My favorite holiday and I am a college student at Gallaudet University. Gallaudet University doesn’t have any event on October 31st and that is so sad! So I decided to call my mom two weeks before October 31st and ask her to give me her wedding dress. She don’t care about the dress in her closet because my dad and her got divorced six years ago and she feel that dress is a bad charm in her closet. She wanted to get rid of it until I asked her for the dress. She was so glad to kick her dress out of her house to me. Last week, I got the dress and I rode the metro to Friendship Heights and went to Spirit Halloween Store. I brought white make up cream, white fake hair, black hair spray, long black creepy eyelashes, black lipstick, black eye shadow, and black nail polish.
Yesterday, I put a empty water bottle on my head, pulled my hair up to the bottle, and wrapped them onto the water bottle cap with a rubber band. Then I added a lot of adhesive hair gel to make my hair to stay up so stiff. When it is so stiff and I added black hair spray on it and fake white hair on top of my ears to the end of my hair on the top. I put a lot of white cream on my face, chest, and my arms. I added black eyelashes, black eye shadow, black lipstick, and foil frankstien necklace. When I am in my costume and I went to Chinatown with my friends. My roomie was in her 80’s clothes and my good friend was in her sexy tuxedo. We went to chipotle to get free food and we ate outside with lots of people staring at me because I am so awesome! When we decide to go to Georgetown to get more free food from chipotle, after eating more, we went out to the streets and showing off our costumes. Lots of people asked me for pictures because I was so unique and so perfect like the movie…. My dress is a real wedding dress, my hair is up with completely black and white stripes, my skin was so bright with white. My eyes was bursting with black… I was the BRIDE OF FRANKSTEIN!!!!!
