Naps and Stars

2005-10-13 - 12:59 a.m.

I love to nap. However, sometimes, I fall asleep, and then I wake up at, say, 1:00 am. Currently, I'm almost tired enough to go back to sleep, but not just yet.

So I'll post on something I've been meaning to post about.

Since I went to a school with a really good drama program and had ties to that program, I met a lot of people who wanted to go into acting. But it was only once in a while I'd see someone I had known. These past two weeks, I've seen THREE people I knew, culminating in a new character in a show The Boy and I absolutely love. The weird part is that because it's the TV, it's out of context. So I'll sit there for a while, thinking that I must just remember this person from another movie or something, I couldn't know them. And then WHAM! Holy crud! That's so-and-so! (imdb is wonderful for proving I'm not wrong, otherwise I wouldn't even be writing this.)

I'm really happy for all three. I wasn't best friends with any of them, but they were all very nice, and I wish them the best. Kinda amazing, though. Makes me wish I had the ability to be a TV star, in a teenager sort of way. I know, it's a hassle. You have to put up with people trying to convert you to Scientology and deal with the paparazzi, but honestly? I already have people bugging me on my blog and stalkers are something I've dealt with before...

Just kidding. But kinda neat all this is starting to happen, huh?

Sick at Home

2005-10-11 - 11:03 a.m.

Tired, cranky, exhausted. Luckily, I'm only missing one class, which might be the reason why I don't mind staying home. I don't know, I always feel guilty for staying home, but I'm sneezing and my throat hurts and I just want to sleep. I'm getting silly little stuff around the house done, so that makes me feel better (drafting the "thanks, but no thanks" letter for firms, writing up the change of name forms for little things, etc.). But why is it that we can't just lay down and get better when we're sick once we're adults?

Sometimes, I think we should all get a kid day. A day where we just play in our rooms and have chicken noodle soup and sleep when we get tired. Where we just sit and rest. More than that, though, I wish every little kid got that when they were sick. I see the news about Pakistan and the school that collapsed, and I feel so helpless. People wonder why I believe in God, but I can't help but think that the children who couldn't be saved are now in heaven, being tucked in and loved in the greatest way possible. At the same time, as much as the people in New Orleans and around the South need our help, imagine the mourning parents and orphaned children in Pakistan who have nothing compared to the wealth in America, and our resources.

We as a blogging community and outside this community have given a lot to help Americans during this time. Our hearts are bigger than this. I don't have anything to offer to compel people to give but my words. Whatever your faith or your beliefs, please find some way to help these people who have no resources, no astrodomes, no shelters.

GreenKitty in the Hizzie

Yay! Greenkitty's over here, spending time with me for some reason. She came in last night, and we've gone out to dinner, watched some movies, played with kittens, and just hung out. It's so nice to have her here. She's one of those people you can always, always, always count on. She and her husband have been great friends, and I can't ever say how much I appreciate them both.

I should get going, but I wanted to put in a happy entry so her husband can know she's alive, well, and has now seen Pirates of the Caribbean.

Enough

2005-10-06 - 12:18 p.m.

So enough is enough. I understand that my genetic family does not have as much effect on me, but they're trying to let me in. Which is great! I am so happy to know more about them!

Sort of.

They're racists. Not in the out loud all the time sort of way, but the quiet, "what can you expect" sort of way. And they send me forwards. One of them was about Katrina and how "ungrateful" the people have been.

Particularly black people.

For the LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT'S HOLY. Even if the descriptions are true, even if they are, they are symptoms of SHOCK. Take anyone through a situtation where they had to fight for their lives, lose people and things they care about, and see how polite and kind they are to a fucking blowup mattress and a fucking sandwich. ooo! Ooo! Thank you for your kindness and generosity!

I am so angry, and I just can't get over it. I finally responded today and told them that it doesn't say Love thy neighbor when you think he deserves it.

Grrr....

Anyone have a long pole to smack relatives with?

Unofficial

2005-10-04 - 7:07 p.m.

Unofficially, off the record, you know...

1. I don't floss daily. Hell, sometimes it's only weekly.
2. I sometimes? Swallow gum instead of having to deal with throwing it out.
3. Sometimes I even laugh like Eddie Murphy. It's true. Scary, but true.
4. I don't keep my nail polish new and nice, even with dark colors. Stone me!
5. I just bought glasses that look exactly like my old glasses.
6. When I was in college, I bought a coat just like the one I had in high school. I still have the coat from college and wear it.
7. I don't like Zach Braff, even though I love Scrubs. There, I've said it. I'm sorry.
8. I love the GE commercial with the dancing baby elephant. No matter how many times I see it, I tear up. No, I'm not kidding
9. No, I'm not pregnant. No, seriously. Not pregnant.
10. I called the firm in Minnesota and accepted.
