Who Am I?

^{Heidi (with the blue hair) and me (with the pink hair) at the Bard’s Bash (Summer 2008)}

My name is Donna Weber. I enjoy long walks on the beach and warm mountain breezes. I believe in dance parties and taking ridiculous amounts of photos. Okay seriously…

I started this blog for my class Ideas In Performance during Spring 2008 at Mary Washington. Ideas in Performance is an amazing class which basically asks why we do theatre. If you haven’t been able to tell by reading some of my entries, I’m a Theatre Major. I have one semester left in the Fall and then I shall enter the “real world” where I’ll hopefully pursue a career in Development or Patron Services.

Although I started this blog for the class, I really enjoy this format of communication. Blogging is one of my favorite things and I plan to continue using this space as a place for my thoughts, both about theatre and daily life.

Also, in case you were wondering, the title of my blog is taken from a Jimmy Eat World song. These are the lyrics….

I got a story, its almost finished
All I need is someone to tell it too maybe, that’s you
Our time is borrowed and spent to freely
Every minute I have needs to be made up
but how?
I’m looking for a nice way to say
I’m out.”

I want out.

I fall asleep with my friends around me
only place I know, I feel safe
I’m gonna call this home

The open road is still miles away
Hey nothing serious
We still have our fun
Oh we had it once

Windows open and close
That’s just how it goes

Don’t it feel like sunshine afterall
The world we love forever gone
we’re only just as happy
as everyone else seems to think we are

I’m in love with the ordinary
I need a simple space
and rest my head
Everything gets clear
Well I’m a little ashamed for asking
but just a little helps
It gets me straight again
Helps me get over it

It might seem like a dream
But its real to me

Don’t it feel like sunshine afterall
The world we love forever gone
we’re only just as happy
as everyone else seems to think we are

You should see the canals are freezing
You should see me high
You should just be here
Be with me here
It doesn’t seem there’s hope for me
I let you down
But I won’t give in now
Not for any amount

Don’t it feel like sunshine afterall
The world we love forever gone
we’re only just as happy
as everyone else seems to think we are
