Life-up-to-date

Hello cyberworld. If you exist.

So many things going on right now!

Fraiz and I are grrreat. I leave for Germany in 2 weeks! Exactly! Cannot wait. I miss that boy like craaazy. He sent me the sweetest card you could possibly imagine today. : ) It made me smile. I think I've read it like 3 times already. lol.

Got a new job! Hosting Karoake at The Rusty Nail out in Hermitage. It's pretty awesome. $10 an hour plus tips! woot woot!

Been working at SNS still-- ya know, gotta pay the bills. Almost have my credit cards paid off!! I worked yesterday from 9am-midnight, but it was worth it. $230 baaabay.

The show at Chaffin's is almost coming to a close. It's been real, fun, and real fun. Auditioning for a show at Millworks, the new theatre out in Lebanon, soon. We will see it how it goes!

Got some new headshots finally. Wesley Young of Carter Photography. He's great. I'll put them up later.

Still managing WMTS-- oh the student media center, sigh. And working at WMOT. No, we have not lost the station to those of you who keep asking. It will be going, unfortunately, to a more news/talk radio format, but we are still keeping some jazz. I know, I know. I'm sad, too.

Got my bubby a job with me at sns. : ) It makes me sad to see my little brother growing up so quickly, but I'm glad that we are staying close and I can tell that we are growing closer everyday--which I love.

I had a dream about war last night. As in I was running around a building with my niece in my arms and bombs were dropping from the sky. Incredibly frightening and I hope I never live to see the day.

Paige had her baby! Little Caden Cole. : ) Julie is due soon!! Ah! And it's a girl. : )

I think this just about covers it! Peace, love, and don't eat steak n shake's butter burger.

Going-Ons

So much has happened since I last posted... I'll try to cover it all:

-Sarah and the Secret of the Cellar opens on Tuesday at Chaffin's Barn. I play the role of "Fake Suzie"... It's really fun and I get to play several different characters and whatnot. Hope all of you can make it out. It just might make you pee in your pants. Hilarious... or I'd like to think so myself anyways. The show costs $8, which includes drinks and all shows start at 11am. www.dinnertheatre.com

-I've also been working at SNS as much as possible. I made $150 the other night from the Bonnaroo rush AND I got to wait on Claudio, the lead singer of Coheed and Cambria! Woo! Love them!

-Fraiz wants me to come see him in Germany again, so I am....attempting.. to save up money. I would really like to. I love me some Germans. If I go, we'll also be taking a trip to Spain as well... which is awesome.

-I'm starting a band. It's gonna be pretty amazing. I hope. lol. : ) I found an awesome guitarist who seems really motivated and whatnot. We'll see how it goes!!

-I finally got to get out of the rents' house today. Two weeks was three weeks too long to be staying there. I don't know why I thought that'd be a good idea for a little while... ugh. LOVE my family. Living with them---nooooot so much.

-More later! Much love! : )

Life is good.

That is all.

I danced...

today for 45 minutes by myself.

Empowering. lol.

Tonight we have our first read-thru of Sarah and the Secret Cellar at Chaffin's. It should be fun. : )

a relaxing, much-needed hiatus

Today has been so so wonderful. Well, starting from last night really.. I went to bed at a decent time, got up on my own time, having gotten the first full complete's night sleep I've had in a long time, and waking up without an alarm!! I had my phone turned off the majority of the day, which factored into the relaxation. I'm house-sitting for Kim, so my day simply consisted of: exercising, reading, writing, running with Sawtelle, and listening to music(Beethoveen, mostly... except when I decided to listen to Schoenberg, fell asleep, and woke up to the extrenuous sounds of "Pierrot Lunaire" when it reached an incredibly forte moment...ugh). As far as working out goes, now that I HAVE TIME!! YAY!!... I am going to be even more hardcore. lol...

I'm still working on Sophie's Choice. It's a loooong book...good, but long... and I am very a.d.d. when it comes to reading. I am actually reading about 5 different books right now... a few pages of each daily.: As I Lay Dying, a book on African history, Collected Poems of Plath, along with her college journals, a book of poetry by Emily Dickinson... hmm.. oh, and I read some Self magazines today.... I'm kind of a bit of a health nut. I just enjoy being knowledgable in an area that COULD POSSIBLY DECIDE THE LENGTH OF MY LIFE! lol. By the way, the book Fantastic Voyage by Kurzweil is great. So great that it convinced me to take a total of about 12 vitamins daily... sometimes more. I mean, if you can do something to make yourself healthier, why not??

After a beautiful day, I have decided to start scheduling myself "me" days. It really is necessary. And the way that my life is always busy and scheduled... it would be necessary to plan my selfism. That's just the way my life goes. Maybe one day working my butt off will actually pay off!! ha!

A vent

I don't understand why people feel the need to buy cats and dogs. There are so many animals that need homes....that are free (other than shots) at shelters. Why is it that people just have to have the teeny tiny dogs...or the full-bred dogs? When you buy a dog, you are supporting these people that "grow" these dogs. There are way too many dogs without homes to support people breeding dogs unnaturally. Please think about it. All I ask.

Slumdog Millionaire

No wonder the movie won tons of awards. From what I've studied about Mumbai, they really seemed to hit the nail on the head in this depiction of life. It's sad but a lot of the movie reminded me of Honduras-- the conditions, the children having to fend for themselves and fight for their lives. : ( I wish I had magical powers so I could steal all the children away and make their lives better. When I see those children, it makes me want to adopt like fifty kids...or as many as I could take care of. : / Which probably isn't many at the moment...I have tons of love though!!
