The Laramie Project

Happy 29th Birthday, Matthew Shepard.

Matthew shepard was 21 when he was brutally murdered on the evening of October 12, 1998 in Laramie Wyoming. The Laramie Project is a play constructed by 5 actors and writers about Matt's world-renowned case.

I watched it tonight.

For two and a half hours, my dad waited in the car for me so he wouldn't have to waste gas making two trips and just so I can watch that play. I love him.

I got lost going to Santa Monica College. I went to the wrong campus or wrong part of the college. I asked both Lindsay and Noel for directions. Praise God I know people who are familiar with that area.

I got lost looking for the theatre after I found the right campus of SMC. Security told me to go go to this one place, but it was something of the Angel Food Fundraising thing. There was a red carpet with lights and railings on one side and the repetative logo of the corporation in the background (like when the stars walk out from the grammy's). Walking through it made me feel.. special. The fact that people there were nice enough to give me directions to the correct place was awesome. I was able to walk through the bunker where I think a silent auction was being held and where lots of high-rollers were in. I never imagined I'd experience something like that. Awesome stuff.

Today, I learned that getting lost isn't always so bad. It may be stressful and extremely irritating, but in the end, everything will work out for the best. Great experiences come when you find yourself again.

Too many things are going through my mind right now. I have some homework to take care of and I'm sleepy [since I didnt get my nap and didnt get home til around 10.] =/ Good night.
