Finally figuring it out.

So it's summer and...

So it's summer! Huzzah! Happiness is touching my soul! So much has happened that I will probably have to bullet-point in order to even get the highlights in:



In no particular order:




  1. School's out! For the Summer!!!!

  2. Our final show, Hot L Baltimore, went...well.

  3. We had our final evaluations at school to determine whether we were being asked back for next year (I am) and what they expect of us (I need to just be a student and stop worrying about "not making it yet")

  4. My family went to Disney World for 4 days and had A BLAST! (pictures to come at some point...when I have 3 seconds)

  5. I read a non-theatre/non-acting/non-play book! Excitement! (Speaker For The Dead by Orson Scott Card)

  6. I am currently reading the next book in the series (Xenocide).

  7. I am riding my bike as much as humanly possible (and for those of you who knew about the back-brakes thief, I did get new brakes put on)

  8. I am working at both, Victory Gardens AND at Act One (to help pay for tuition next year!)

  9. My zoo is doing well...(Chinchilla- McGreevey, Rats - Dante and Wilson, Rabbit - Blue, and Chihuahua dog - Sparky)

  10. I have to save $400 by November to get another damned round of headshots! Grrrr. But it's good I'm just grr about the money.

  11. Jon and I had a HUGE leak in the kitchen b/c the stupid people in my building use chemicals on crappy pipes. We may have to get a new cabinet for under the sink. It smells gross and musty. Ick.

  12. Jon successfully killed and sprayed the plethora of silver fish living in our apartment thanks to the hot water pipe running along the baseboards of the window...and the Section 8 screaming-slob-hicks who live next door to us.

  13. For my former dear readers who were interested in my blog about Sarafina the unheeded prophet, the improv went very well. My character did shine throughout and I was happy with the experience overall.

  14. Our group of 10 in the conservatory has gone down to 9 b/c one of the girls (the craziest one) has NOT been asked back.

  15. I'm going to see Avenue Q in a few days. Truly excited about that show! Saw it in NYC about 6 years ago and fell madly in love with it!

  16. I'm drinking a lot of water.

  17. I'm having 2 girls nights out in one weekend! I can't believe it. I never have nights out and almost never girl's night's out!

  18. There's a bunch of summer movies I'm planning to see: Indiana Jones, Dark Knight, Sex and the City (no judgements, I do have a vagina and I did enjoy that show)

  19. I'm ridiculously obsessed with 2 reality shows: Top Chef (until last week at least since I know the chef who was eliminated) and Step it up and Dance (which Jon and I lovingly call Shut up and DANCE!)

  20. Fail dogs, fail blog, xkcd, post secret, lol cats, and lol dogs are a few things that make me happy.

  21. Also, Scrabbulous.

  22. And Peggle. Seriously. Download that game. Popcap games. It's the most addictive thing since Tetris.

  23. And I'm learning that whether you believe in Karma or not, it does mete out justice in its own way.

Whew. Is that enough? I'm sure I forgot some other important points. Ah well. Lovely thing about blogs and only 3 readers, you can edit and add things and it doesn't cause much grief in the grand scheme of things.


Cheers and happy days!

(Thank you fail blog for this hysterical post below. I laughed so hard it hurt!)
