rikki came up with the female equivalent of the term cock block...
pussy pass.
it's vulgar. but it's not supposed to be wholsome.
it's been a long week.
new year's eve was insane. what i remember of it. we wne tto the water street oyster bar for dinner (amazing sushi) then big bobby's for a huge blast. copious amounts of alcohol and people. i'll spare the details, but i ended up crying on bobby's bathroom floor wanting to go home. rikki and boomer took such good care of me. it was an insane way to ring in 2008.
shanyn went back to NYC. it was really depressing, because i didn't get to spend much time with her at all. she won;t come home until june, and that's if she doesn't have a job.
i don't want to go back to class.
my best friend comes home in 3 days. i'm so fucking ecstatic.
what are yoou doing this weekend? i'll tell you what. you're coming to see...

TIRED ALL THE TIME!
i get 3 days off from work next week and i couldn't be more thrilled! it's been so hectic. i have 9 kids again, including lyndsie. every day is so exhausting. but it goes by fast. i got a bonus, and a christmas present from one ofthe parents, so i can finish up my christmas shopping. and i am really looking forward to 3 days off, even though i'm not sure if they're paid or not. i also get new years eve and day off. so that's a blast. celeste is working there now in the other toddler class, which is great. although i'm gonna have to help show her the ropes, and that's kind of intimidating!
tenor is trucking along. i wish we didn't have so much time off forthe holidays though. it's such a short rehearsal process, some of those days could be really crucial. and i'm struggling with my character. maggie is more like me than any other character i've played, but for some reason, i'm having such a hard time with her onstage. i don't feel natural for a lot of the show. but i'm working on it. otherwise, it's going well. the cast has a great, intimate dynamic.
the semester's over. boom and i got A+ on our acting final. on the 8th i'm gonna register for next semester. only 1 theatre class, then a few core classes. and i'm auditioning for dancing at lughnasa in february. i forgot howmuch i loved doing straight shows, even though i miss musicals.
the brown house is in the christmas spirit for the first time in years. we even have a tree! and lights outside! we have a lot to celebrate though. our family healing and prospering and all that yummy stuff. i love it.
so that's life right now. it doesn'tsound like too much, but i am tired ALL THE TIME. i just can't seem to get enough sleep.
i fell down grammy's stairs yesterday in the rain. i think i have a very mild concussion because i've been getting dizzy and i feel like i have a sinus headache. probably shoulda gone to the emergency room when it happened.
also, i've had this AWFUL pain in my right wrist for weeks. it's popping nonstop and now it's hurting to write. mom thinks it's carpel tunnel.
basically, i'm a walking 'caution' sign.
i've been cast as Maria in del mar's production of Twelfth Knight. this is the first shakespeare i've ever done, and the first play i've done in 2 years. this also means i'm fucking terrified. but i'm looking forward to a new theatre experience.
dad got some wonderful news in the mail. everything is going to be ok very soon.
at work, rylan is being moved up to the big boy class, and wyatt is being moved to the other toddler room. i am thrilled. that means that even with ara & isaiah the brats, and jakob the cry baby, i'm losing 2 trouble makers and my class will be a lot much easier to deal with. i'm actually looking forward to work tomorrow. i mean i love my job, but now i'm not gonna be dreading what the day will bring when they wake up.
one of my first big celebrity crushes was charlie sheen (after river phoenix, JTT and robin from batman). i watched him on 'inside the actors studio' and i think i'm in love with him again.
laura's baby shower was today. it was really precious. i felt kinda sad because jacqui & i were the inly people her age there. the rest was just family and friends of family. but she looks wonderful and glowy and she got some really great gifts. and i got 2 prizes for winning games. jacqui and i are gonna try to keep her busy and having fun in this last months of pregnancy.
6 days till shanyn comes home!!!
really long time no update. sadly, things are not dramaticly different in my life.
- i read streetcar named desire for acting 1. it's BRILLIANT
- auditions for twelfth knight are monday and i'm dreadfully nervous
- one of my kids is having to leave the day care for biting another one on the face. on my watch. i feel awful.
- tivo and sleep rule my life
- i have 2 crushes that i shouldn't have
- we're taking care of a dog that boomer and i found outside of elva's. she's a cute puppy but annoying as fuck.
- emeri's baptism is sunday. i have nothing to wear!
boomer sent me this chain text that said to describe him in 1 word and see how many different responses you get. i called him .indescribable.' i sent it out, and these are the responses i got:
boomer- passionate
shanyn- extraordinary
travis- independent
christina- wonderful
stephanie- almanac
monica - witti-ful (a combo of witty and wonderful)... that's cheating.
feel free to do it.
i'm watching once upon a mattress at steff's house with travis, gitt, steff and jacqui. not MY jacqui, her sister jacqui. what are the odds?
i really wanna play princess winifred. so does monica. she wouldn't stop talking about how badly she wanted the part, and it made me kind of uncomfrotable. auditions are in january. i'm not gonna sweat it yet, but damn that's frustrating!
the new halloween remake is fucking frightening!
i'm in the del mar computer lab. i'm here an hour and a half early because i learned the hard way that my english lab doesn't start till after labor day. i start actin 1 today, and english 1301 tomorrow. i'm so excited to go back to school. last semester, being at an unfulfilling job and not going to school made me lose a lot of self worth. then rocky came a long and gave me something to be proud of. then i got my amazing job which is invaluable, and now i'm back in college. i actually feel like a productive member of society again!
yesterday boomer and i were bouncing around town with total glee at being college kids. we're psyched to have carl yowell as our acting 1 professor. can you imagine he & i in acting together? having him here with me makes all of this so much better.
rocky is over, and i already miss it. during the final 'i'm going home,' i just started bawling. i haven't dreaded the end of a show so much since i did godspell. i made indredible new friends, and got even closer to people i already loved like alex. and rikki? she has easily become one of my best friends. who know the rocky horror show come have such a profound impact on a person's life? whichever show comes next, be it twelfth knight of christmas carol, it's got some big shoes to fill in my heart. we'll all be together again in a few weeks for the hearns' ranch party, so i have that to look forward to.
on the bright side, i get my weekends back.
for the first time in MONTHS, i feel really good about my life,
