There are so many things that I ache to do and accomplish, but unfortunately those things have nothing to do with my priority, School. Graduating is the most important thing without a doubt, but sometimes I NEED to do other things, to focus my energy elsewhere. Now that the Women is finished, the creative part of my brain is beginning to itch and squirm. I've started a few projects, but with the way school is going at the moment those projects are being put on the back burner. This maddens me! Hopefully though things will even out, and I will be able to get my creative juices flowing again.
Halloween is going to be awesome...as are my costumes!

Why does it seem like everything in the world piles on top of you to the point you feel as though you will be crushed into a squishy glob of goo?!
I won't go into details, but I feel thinned out, stretched to the limit, and as though at any moment I will crack open like an eggshell. Maybe I should get some sleep...I am simply tired of feeling like I am grasping for smoke, and that everything I do is half-assed and no good! I HATE THIS FEELING...so instead of complaining about it, I am going to change a habit or too, figure out what's wrong, and fix it! I know that this is harder than is seems, but I feel like its possible.

So, it has been a long time since I last posted, but I feel the need to get some stuff out.
First off, I loved working on The Women, and I miss everyone from that show terribly (even though they all live very close to me, I sill miss seeing them everyday in a working environment) We absolutely killed the audiences we had, and I received some really awesome feedback from people who saw the show, and professors. It was nice to get some affirmation, and this process has reset my convictions that I am on the right path.
As soon as The Women closed however, I started working as assistant stage manager for The Boyfriend. This is an interesting job (that I am doing right now)...I don't really do much during rehearsals. I take music notes, and sometimes I'm on book, but other than that I am not doing much...I will be horribly busy once we start runs and then tech. so it won't be so bad. I don't think, however, that I will pursue stage management any further, but it's something that I can put on my resume. Add a skill to the list, which means if I'm down on my luck, and I'm not getting cast, but I get offered a temporary SM job then I can take it to pay the bills. So there's an upside to everything!
Fall break just happened, and I went home with Cassiebellerina. It was really fun! We mostly hung out with her family, and her friends. She took me to Solomon's Island, and Myrtle Point which was fun...and cold. On Monday, we were supposed to go to Six Flags so that I could ride some awesome roller coasters, but the bastards decided to close it! We went to DC instead where we went to the National Gallery of Art (where I saw my favorite Monet-Houses of Parliament), and where we saw a picture that looks EXACTLY like Cassie. I saw the portrait from at least fifty feet away through the gallery and I said "that picture looks like you!". Cassie was like "you can't even see her face!" but then we got closer, and it became very scary how much it looked like her. We then went to the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, where we saw dino fossils, and a bit of the sea creatures, then we went through the human cultures, (if I had lived back then I would have been a GIANT! Cassie would have fit right in.). While we were ogling the human skeletons we were rudely kicked out by a guard...the museum was closing, and he was really mean about getting us out. All and all it was a really good weekend and break! I needed a change of scenery and that was perfect!

So, I have been living without wireless internet on my computer for several months now, and it has been driving me insane. So finally I take the damn thing to computer services. They tell me that there is a download-able server thingy that is not on my computer, which means that I must download these things from the internet (which I don't have) in order to reestablish my wireless connect-ablity.
I begin to think about why these programs would suddenly disappear, and it occurs to me that I lost the internet around the same time my memory become full, as a result of full memory, I began to delete files I thought I didn't need...I am so clueless about computers that I deleted the programs that kept my wireless running...I amaze myself sometimes.

What a glorious day!!! First off it snowed, which makes any day magical. Secondly, I watched my first inaugural ceremony!!! I watched from my room as one era gave way to the next. I am, once again, filled with a great sense of hope. His speech called for us to take responsibility for the past, the present, and the future. Too long have we been careless, and it is now time to help, and to fix. I adore the fact that he speaks of the unity of all Americans, and that unity is absolutely necessary to overcome the great obstacles set in our path. One man cannot do it alone, we must be held accountable, and everyone must help!!!
Plus, I wish that I could rock that hat like Aretha! Get it, girl! Yo yo ma is my hero, and I cried at least twice. Michelle Obama is gorgeous in her personally designed gown!
What was even more amazing was the fact that every other minute I was on the phone with my mother saying "this is so exciting" and we would tell each other "I love you, and thank you for sharing this with me." Multi- generational lovers of politics unite! I love living in the time that I do, and I can't wait for the future to begin!

There are very few things in this world that I truly hate; two of them are cleaning and packing, and right now I'm doing both...and it sucks. I don't necessarily mind packing for a trip or something, but I am packing for the next year...and it's really nerve-racking!!! I don't like haveing to sort and figure out what I might need...It's very icky, and I'm not happy *puts on pouty face to the best of her ability seeing as she currently has four stitches in her mouth*

Either vaccination or pasteurization, without which infant mortality would increase, diseases like polio, typhoid fever, measles, flu, and tons of other sicknesses that people with easy access to these vaccines take for granted would still kill most of the population. Along with the current state of the environment, I think that the most important thing that developed countries could do to help third world countries would be to educate and distribute these vaccines to the people that need them most.
As for pasteurization...I really like milk

It brings me unending joy to think, that for however brief a period, the nations of the world can come together without cynicism and hate to celebrate the achievements of the worlds greatest athletes. I just watched the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, and it never ceases to amaze me how beautiful and masterfully executed each ceremony becomes. This year the people of China brought us an artistic and aesthetically gorgeous production; the innovation of each piece became more and more electrifying, so that in the end the senses were completely enthralled. More to the point, however, I hope that in this time of tribulation and conflict we can use this event as an example, to prove that we, as a people, can come together as one. I have found a renewed sense of hope through this symbol of unity and peace, and I now see that, maybe despite all of our differences we can become one race, one people, one world.

I cannot wait to go back to school!!! As much as I love it here at home, I am getting a little cabin feverish. The wonderful thing about college is that I am already involved in so many things; even before the start of term. Unfortunately I cannot truly start working on them until I actually get to campus. So as of now I am stuck here, not really doing anything. I do have things to look forward to like the CD release party that will occur on Friday at my house, and there's always dirty linen night in the quarter (which will probably be my last hurrah in the city until I get back). I only have little over a month until I go back, and I plan on making every minute of that count with my family, but part of me still can't wait until school!

There are some days that I just feel icky...today was one of those days. I did get to go play cards with my Grandmother, which kept my icky-ness at bay for a little while...yay, good for me. But, To add to my overall mood, I couldn't tell whether my mental icky feeling was induced by the physical icky, or whether my physical icky was induced by the mental (I think that would be an excelled psychological case study: what comes first the mental or the physical...or vice versa. If I were doing this study I would have to actually use the word icky due to its extreme scientific nature). Anyway, to sum up, there are just times when I feel insignificant, unoriginal, and useless, and sometimes I cannot figure out a way to change the way I feel. I try to look on the bright side and get over my self, but that doesn't help, or I try to create something, which usually ends up a big blob of unimaginative poop! I guess the only way to get out of this icky cycle would be to stop whining, suck it up, go to sleep, and stay optimistic about tomorrow, I can't stay icky forever...which is a very hopeful thought!

I have been very neglectful of my live journal...oops! I promise, though, to be better from now on, and actually use my account.
Anywhoozle, This summer has simultaneously been extremely eventful and rather boring; don't ask me how that one works out, except that all the gloriously fun and exciting things happen in very short and concentrated bursts. For example, I was stuck at home for about two weeks at the end of May doing absolutely nothing, when suddenly I was in Ireland for two weeks (the journal about that trip will be coming soon, I can only post so much). Then after that I was home for another 3 weeks; I did have mouth/gum surgery (which was so much fun, just let me tell you) *please note that italicizes (spelling) generally denotes sarcasm* Luckily for me my brother was home and also out of commission due to shoulder surgery, so at least I had someone to make fun of while incapacitated. Florida came next where I sat on the beach, desperately trying to avoid the sun by all means necessary. Not only did I manage to keep clear of the sun, but I also scored some hot cash by baby sitting (yes...money!!!). And then this weekend we had Miss Kathy visit, which was wonderful. Also we had a very large and obnoxious 4th of July Party, which was lovely because I saw some people I hadn't seen in a while (hey Natalie!! *I think I spelled your name right)...and got to meet some new people!!! YAY!!! I love parties. Now I am sitting at home, avoiding the many chores that mother has assigned for me (she gives me these chores so that I won't feel like I am living at home for free...whatever) anyway must go the cat is now on fire *not really, but it's a good excuse*...love you all!

So in the first two weeks of college I have made great friends, gotten through orientation, got a tree stuck in my eye, and broke my hip (possibly). I just have to tell you the series of event that have made my life just a little more complicated and interesting...
I was feeling a bit low, and homesick on Friday last, so to keep the blues at bay I went for a bike ride (Lance Armstrong eat your heart out) through the wonderful nature preserve on campus. I listened to music while I rode, and I became really relaxed and I felt really good (nothing like a full serving of endorphins to pump you up!) until I got to this massive concrete hill I had to ride up to get back to the rest of the campus. Now first thing you have to understand is that I had biked about 3 miles, and I was tired (physically), so as I was climbing this hill my wheel hit a pothole and came out from under me. I hit the pavement on my hip, and rolled a bit. The pain was excruciating, but somehow I managed to get up walk a block and a half, and up a flight of stairs without remembering the pain much. The presence of adrenaline pumping in your body really makes you invincible. Anyway, I immediately call my parents, and get ice on my hip. That night I was in bed by 8:30 pm because not only was my hip giving me problems, but my head was on fire as well. (I am really glad that I wore my helmet, because I would be concussed otherwise). The next day, however, was worse than the actual accident because this time my whole body was sore, and on top of that I had to go to the theater because it was our work day. Luckily I was doing something really easy; I sorted gels (which are the little plastic, colored squares that go over the lights to create certain moods on-stage). Over the next two days I earned the name Limpy Gimpy, because the clinic was closed and I was walking without crutches. The pain remained the same throughout. Monday I go to the clinic to get crutches. They tell me to come back at 8 am the next day, which I do. After seeing the doctor I am, referred to the Piedmont Radiology Center where I get my x-rays. I am then referred to an orthopedist, and today he took more x-rays, and told me that I need an MRI to see if my hip is cracked in one place. I get my MRI Saturday.
Although things have been tough, I am increasingly surprised at the kindness and caring displayed by the people up here. At every turn someone is holding the door for me, or giving me well wishes. I have found the greatest set of people around. I could not have chosen a better group of people to be my friends. They constantly help me (even though I don't really want or need it). They have shown unending concern for me and I cannot express how grateful I am to them. If it wasn't for them I never would have gone to the clinic in the first place, they were really stubborn (almost as stubborn as me!) . I owe them a lot, I just hope that I will have the opportunity to show the same kindness that they have shown me.

It has been 127 weeks (basically 2 years) since I posted anything. lets see what has happened since then.
1) I have graduated high school (with the visual and performing arts award)
2) I have been to Austrailia (sp), Ireland, and Italy
3) I now have the ability to buy cigarettes, porn, and go to big girl jail, and yet have done none of those things
4) Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and changed a lot of things
5) I can drive (finally)
6) GaGa has died, along with Sally the Dog
7) Granpa Fred has Alheimers (sp), and Honey is really sick but still the light of my life
8) I still love my parents
9) I was in the greatest show in the world, while playing the greatest character in the world (the Baker's Wife in Into the Woods)
10) and President Bush is still a moron and an effing insensitve doofus
I am prolly leaving a lot out but I have niether the energy nor the memory to type them all down...till next time.
