Hilarious. However, do not go if you are easily offended. I was very surprised at how many people sent hate mail to this site, especially since it's only been up for about a month and a half. But, hey, I'm already going to hell anyway, so what do I know about what's offensive?

I've been a bad girl...
...by not updating. At all. Here's the important things going on in my life now:
- School. At NCTC, not UNT like I said last semester. Don't ask. Well... okay, it's because my GPA wasn't quite high enough, and then I deliberated for awhile about taking a semester off. But hey, I'm much more comfortable here than I was my first semester.
- Rehearsals for a play entitled "Talking of Michelangelo" which was written and is being directed by my friend Joshua Scott Hancock. It's going alright. We open in two weeks.
- Working seasonally at Costume & Dance World, the costume shop in the local mall. I enjoy the job... somewhat. My boss, though, is not exactly the friendliest person in the world. I'll leave it at that. Thank goodness it's only temporary.
- Travis and I are still together and in love and all that gooey shit (Our 1 year anniversary is on the 30th!). No complaints there. :-)
Aaaaaaaaaannnnnnnd scene.

Workin' On It
Don't have much time for a long entry, but just a quick check-in.
So far, I'm doing pretty good with the fashion thing. I've put together a couple of super cute outfits already, and I'm planning to work my way up from cute to hot to downright ahead of the times. I hope. And always keeping it grounded somewhat in a counter-culture style (punk/rock/goth, hippie, grunge, etc.).
I really hope I can get to work on my short film, Half Empty, really soon...
Ugh, have to be up in a few hours to do our first performance of this summer's Road Show... yuck. Performing story theatre for little children at 9 a.m. Not cool. (Thank jebus for the $$$.)

Fashion Forward
Omfg. I. Love. Fashion.
Not a new realization, but I will go months and months wearing jeans and t-shirts and no makeup, all because I just don't have time or energy to even think about looking good day to day. And then... lo and behold... I will stumble upon (sort of literally - on Firefox's Stumble Upon app) fashion photos and design blogs and what have you... and it makes me squeal and bounce up and down with a mixture of joy and frustration - I LOVE fashion, but I NEVER do ANYTHING to follow that love.
I don't dress how I want. I don't draw fashion designs. I don't take photos.
I'm so boring and lazy.
New resolution: I will make more of an effort to look how I want. I will wear makeup (almost) every day - at least some eyeliner and concealer. I will do laundry more often to ensure I have a nice selection of clothes to wear. I will remember to accessorize well with every outfit. I will be more fashion-minded, and my clothing, drawings and photographs will reflect this.
I feel better now.
(And if anyone gives a flying fuck, sorry I've all but abandoned this blog. I'll try to do better on that, too.)

Beginning of the Summer
Well, not too much important has happened since I last wrote. I've just been enjoying being lazy, hanging out with Travis at the Bordello.
My cousin died the other day. He had a stroke or something and it caused bleeding in the brain... he was put on life support, but there wasn't any hope, so they pulled the plug on him. The funeral is tomorrow. I wasn't that close to him, so I don't feel devastated, but I feel terrible for his two kids and his two sisters (to whom I am a little more close).
We've had a couple of Lysistrata rehearsals lately, and I'm pretty excited about it.
Saturday, I saw a screening of Pinkston's (one of Travis's roommates) final film project for his Advanced Directing class at UNT. It was pretty fantastic. I really didn't care for the other films from the class, but Pinkston's was stellar. That night, we also went and saw MTD's Crazy For You at the Campus Theatre, which was also seriously amazing. I think Travis loved it more than I did, though.
Well, my phone bill is larger than it's supposed to be, so I have to go contend with that. I'm also supposed to head over to the Gallagher household to visit Eva today, and then rehearsal tonight. Yay for keeping busy. ^.^

End of the Semester
I have had only about four hours of sleep in the past 48 hours or more. And I'm still awake.
Monday night I stayed up until it was time for me to go to class in the morning to finish my final art projects. Then last night, after the End of the Year Party for the GCC theatre department at Robin's house (which was pretty fun, and I even felt just a tad bit emotional saying goodbye), I was up till 6:30 finishing my final film project. However, despite the whole last minute approach, I had a lot of fun with that one, and learned a lot (especially on what NOT to do), I think.
Then today, I packed up my crap and moved back to Denton. I am home!
But of course, because of the aforementioned lack of sleep, I am more than exhausted. The only reason I am still awake is because I am trying to stay lucid to spend a little time with Travis after he gets done editing for tonight. Although, I must say, it may not even be worth it, because last time I hung out with him after editing, he could not stop thinking about the film afterwards. But still... there may be sex involved...
I suppose we'll just have to see if I last or not. :-P

I Hate Spiders... So Much
So, today we were finishing up cleaning Silver Wings for the end of the semester. Everyone else had piled into Tenna's truck to go take stuff over to storage, and I was left to move patio furniture into the shop.
So... I'm dragging the wicker love seat over to the shop doors across the patio... and I watch as a BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER runs out from hiding in it onto the ground. I freeze - spiders are seriously my worst fear, and this particular one happens to be the most poisonous in the good ol' U. S. of A. So I'm standing there thinking "Oh shit oh shit oh shit, what do I do?" Well, I figure that the little beast needs to DIE, because I'm sure as hell not going to let it continue to add to the brown recluse gene pool. So I look around... I'm the only one there, so I can't get someone else to do it. The patio, for once, is devoid of one-by-fours, which happen to be perfect spider-smashing tools if available. Finally, I spot Tenna's toolbox off to the side of the patio. Is there a hammer in there? Yes, yes there is! I grab the hammer, and slowly move over to the little git, who thankfully hasn't moved. I quickly work up the courage to go ahead and smash at it - and miss! So I go again... and miss again! And of course, this pisses off the spider, so he starts running around, which freaks ME out. So there I am, playing the arachnid version of Whack-A-Mole, screaming "Die motherfucker, die!" while dancing around like a maniac.
Thankfully, I eventually hit the eight-legged creature. And again, and again, and again. I made sure that all that was left was a venomous pulp. I then stuck the hammer back inside the toolbox and went inside to wait for everyone else. I was done moving furniture. Quite done.

Ugh... Rain
Wow, it's pouring buckets outside, and I'm trying to dry off in this freezing cold building. It's not working. I love rain, but only when I don't have to go out into it. I'm like a cat; I seriously hate being cold and wet. I am waiting for it to stop so that I can head over to the dorms and be cozy and warm. I wish I had a hoodie with me!
Cleaned up Silver Wings today, which was good. Now I have a lot of work to do for my Life Drawing class, and I need to check up on some stuff for my Intro to Computers class. Also, I need to finish writing my screenplay fairly soon, because if I can reshoot my final film project, I will.
I wish Travis would call me. I know he doesn't want to because it makes him miss me more, but there are things I want to talk to him about, like Lysistrata and my screenplay.
Just waiting for this rain to stop... might write a poem in the meantime.

Phew... Big Update
So, I went to Denton this weekend... and didn't get online even once, mostly because Travis's internet is out. But it was quite a hectic weekend anyhow.
Thursday:
Got into town around 10:30-ish. Joey dropped me off at Brad's, where Travis was hanging out, and I watched the last third or fourth of Platoon with them. Then we hung out there some more, and then Travis and I went home.
Friday:
Woke up for my dad to go take me to get my completely unjust seatbelt ticket paid, then he dropped me back at the Bordello and Travis and I went over to the Arts & Jazz fest. Saw people, listened to music, ate food, drank beer. Then went back over to the Bordello for a pretty rockin' party, and everyone got wasted.
Saturday:
More Jazz Fest. Not so much partying though - Travis and I were tiiiired. Saw lots of great people that I missed very very much.
Sunday:
Coffee with Caleb in the morning, which was quite nice. Then I shot my film project for my Projects in Acting class rather hurriedly; I was totally unable to come up with anything good, but was running out of time. Deni and Bryan did fantastic jobs, but I may have to re-shoot the whole damned thing. :-( Then auditions for Lysistrata, and I feel I did fairly well. Went over to my parents' house for dinner afterwards, and hung out there for quite awhile. Then I took Travis back home, and hung out there till reaaaallllyyyy late. Unfortunately, with all of this, I missed the last day of Arts & Jazz entirely, and with it, Brave Combo. However, apparently there was a big fight that broke out there, ensuing in Joey getting punched in the throat, and his dad having to go to the ER to get stitches. So, I'm not entirely depressed to have missed it.
Monday:
Woke up late after only a couple of hours of sleep, and ran out the door to drive back up to Sherman for school, accidently leaving my beloved hair straightener behind. Oh well. Went to class and lunch, then went back and forth between sleep and a horrible anxiety attack all afternoon and evening. Then I sat down to watch Desperado to calm me down, and it worked.
Today:
Class. Lunch. End of the year talk with Tenna and Robin, letting them know I'm going to UNT in the fall. They were pretty supportive, which was cool. Hung out the rest of the afternoon filming Joey getting hit by Taylor's car over and over (for his film project), and just talking to people. Dinner. Joey and Andy were being retarded and threw a hammer around outside. Then a little while later, I got a call from Josh letting me know that both Travis and I got cast in Lysistrata. Yay! Now I'm just hanging out, and I really ought to get to work on my art projects that are due next week.
Phew! Crazy up and down past few days, no?

Frustrating Morning
Ugh. My teacher got kind of mad at me when I didn't follow instructions on the test, I ripped the new shirt that I had bought because I was too lazy to do laundry last night, and I had to wait twenty minutes for a computer to open up in the library.
Oh well. After I finish class, write the script for my film project, do laundry, and pack up, I get to head home to Denton for the weekend. Yes!
While I was waiting for this computer, I was thumbing through some books on filmmaking here in the Grayson County College library, and I had to smile. I love it so much, and I seriously want to learn everything about it. I really hope that my GPA is high enough after this semester to be able to get in to UNT. I really think film is what I want to do, and it's nice to know that it's somewhat related to my other passion of theatre. I'm really freaking excited about my personal discovery of this art form. I don't know why I never thought about it before, though I think it's because I had previously only considered the acting aspect of it, and had written it off as too hard to break into. But writing and directing? That's something that I feel like is more attainable (whether it really is or not), although it's a little disheartening to know that about 90% of most great filmmakers have been male. But hey, time to change things, right?
Ack, time to head to my Life Drawing class. Which, by the way, I both love and hate, because I'm not always in the mood to draw, but I have to admit that it has kept up my skills, and even improved them some.
I fucking love all art.
