remember, remember the fifth of november

the gunpowder treason and plot
i see no reason why gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot

i love guy fawkes day, if only because of V for Vendetta. i plan to watch the film this evening (with my father... my sister, whom i originally thought would celebrate with me, is once again abandoning me to watch the film with kt & friends), and i plan to make this bonfire toffee, and i plan to blow something up, which is really what we should all do on this day. just don't hurt anyone or blow up anything too important.

another thing i was going to do today is audition for the cover of LIFE at tnt, but then i got a call from a woman at church asking if i'd be in the little christmas play they're doing because a girl dropped out - rehearsal is this evening. i agreed because, even though it's just a little play and a little part, it is something. and i need that. plus, i can audition for the other play on thursday.

it is now much later and i have accomplished most of what i set out to do on this fifth of november. all except to blow something up... perhaps with a bit more planning i can fulfill that task by the next november the fifth. however, the toffee was delicious, the film was excellent, and even the rehearsal was all right (i only have about 5 lines, but that's okay - someday soon i'll have more).

i would like to write more intellectual philosophical things about ideas and oppression and revolution and maybe about how watching V this time made me think of Fatherland, one of my favorite novels. but all these thoughts churning in the ocean of my mind prove difficult to transform into a coherent river of rationalization - words phrases paragraphs exposition... as usual not my strong point. so i'll crawl into my bed and let my mind take me away into eventual dreams, where things make sense even when they don't.
