Updates, shmupdates

I finally moved out.

YAY. It's definitely great not living at home anymore...but it's weird feeling like a guest all over again. Hopefully it will start feeling like 'home' soon. Although, nowhere has felt like home in a long time. We'll see...

AND...

Being in this play at Christy's church has just made my missing of the acting even worse...so i'm going to really get serious about preparing for auditions and whatnot...and therefore I will be working on stuff and recording it and asking my glorious friends for critiques and advice and praise...so get ready!

AND...

I need another job...as in, a second one. Starbucks sucks in the giving of hours category, and paying rent is going to drain me. So yeah...wish me luck.

AND...

My internet connection at the house is crappy b/c we don't pay for it...so until we can, my internet visits will be few and far between...i may start bringing the laptop to work with me to get my fix....sad, huh? But hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!

AND...


there is nothing else.

Letting it go...

Happy Birthday Kelley!

Today is my dear friend and old roommate Kelley's birthday.

She passed away last July.

I remember celebrating her b-day last year...for pretty much an entire weekend! She was so wonderfully silly...as are so many of my friends...she definitely was one of the ones who 'got' me the most. I wish everyone I know now could have known her. Not being able to celebrate with her this year is weird...I miss her terribly...some days more than others...today especially.

Sigh.

Love you Kel! Keep it real out there! ;op

Reading for the sake of READING...

...I forgot what that was like.

I mean, I feel like whenever I read anything lately, I just want to finish it so that I can move on to the next book. I JUST realized this as I finished a book tonight (er...this morning?). Great book. Great author. Melissa Bank. She writes 'single women' well. In this case (the book is called 'The Wonder Spot') the main character is a Jewish woman...and I love her. And I also realized that this is not the first book I have read about a young-ish single jewish woman...and how much I love this type of book. I don't have any close Jewish friends, so i don't know if these thought processes are natural, or if these authors just write similarly or what...but it makes me wish I was Jewish and think that I should be. I don't seek these books out...they just find me.

I make no sense.

I just like their man-adventures.

But the point of this post....

I read the book...but i read the last half of it very quickly...probably skimmed it more than i should have....and I have been doing that a lot lately. I used to REALLY read things...get insanely caught up in them and emotional...(for example, Harry Potter...Had to put book 4 down and bawl my eyes out when Cedric died...book 5...when Sirius died, i was so freaked out that i ahd to put the book away for a couple days....)

I miss that. The next two books I have to read just so happen to be children's 'fantasy' type books, so maybe I'll get some of that back...

Blah. I think this all goes back my whole lazy, uncreative, uninspired dilemma I was having last week...

I think I should cut the cord on the TV.

...that happened in a book I read once....

And then there was music...and it was good!

Added some music to my profile...

Sara Bareilles is amazing...Uh-Maze-Ing!

The kind of songs that you listen to and think (in full 'Family Guy' fashion) "THIS SONG IS ABOUT MEEEEE!!!!"

But seriously...I rarely relate to so many songs by the same artist...

Listen for a minute. You'll see what I mean.

Don't you know who I AM?!?

Being in Columbus makes me feel like a celebrity... :o)

I'm so glad that I decided to go for a couple days...even though my wallet is very unhappy with me now...

I feel a lot better now...A LOT.
