Creepy Horoscope

As I was logging on to my computer, my horoscope was right there on my homepage. Generally I have a giggle since they are so generic, but today...it is uncanny have a look:

You have been overly expressive, without necessarily being too productive. Now, however, it's time to keep to yourself. You can effectively work behind the scenes and it can even feel more fulfilling than being seen. You are relieved that the spotlight is on someone else for a while. Keep in mind that this is temporary; you'll be back on stage in a couple of months.

Odd, right? As I am currently working back stage, and more than happy to be, and excited to perform in Grease this summer. That is all I have, except I am a bit pissed off today.

I am soooo done waiting on other people to be my friends. I will just have to only rely on people I can count on, not people that I wish I can count on. Cryptic enough for you, eh? If you don't believe this applies to you, it probably doesn't, and I don't even think the person that it actually applies to will read this. I won't ever say anything...that's not my style. Self-reliance, here I come!

Ghosts and Ghouls

Some of my readers may be aware that I am obsessed with the paranormal. I have always been really empathetic, to the extent that I have been aware of my friends emotions from long distances away. It is an uncomfortable feeling to not know the source of your own emotion and have no real control over them. I also get alot of Deja vu something that tends to make me uncomfortable. I even had a complete dream of something that hadn't happened and wouldnt happen for another couple years. Needless to say, I am intrugued by these types of phenomena.


I also love ghost stories and hearing about encounters with them. I personall had quite a bit of experience with the theater ghost, Vera, at my high school. An interesting tid bit is that there is a ghost here at Pacific named Vera as well. Not that it is that original of a name, but...coincidence? Hopefully I will get a chance to experience Vera in all her glory, and I heard some cool stories already.


On another note-Happy Birthday Elias. On this day in 2003 I was granted an amazing nephew on 03/03/03. I love you little buddy.

Sleepytime!

Well, I am kinda tired and trying to sleep. I haven't really gotten down to it yet, but even thinking about sleeping makes me want to say up even later. I am not completely sure how that works... Maybe I have a disease. Or, I just don't like to sleep. Maybe that is the answer!

Anyhow, so today was my first REAL rehearsal for On The Verge, well the first one where I did anything. I ran the soundboard through the cue to cue. I think I did pretty well, if I say so myself...which I just did. It isn't really brain surgery though, all you have to do it click on the go button when the stage manager says to. The worst thing about today was getting up early...I had to be there at 9am. Ew! I am a nocturnal animal, who was the crazy person to think 9am was a good time for something theater related. Not me! It went well anyway.

The best thing about today, well, that would have to be hanging out with David! I so didn't realize it was after 1 when I left. If you read this...sorry about that, I had NO idea. But I had fun hanging out and joking around... I haven't done that in a long time. (I have just realized that I have used the ellipse(...) 4(now 5) times, is there such a thing as an addiction to ellipses?)

What Am I going To Be?

Yesterday was a sophomore major fair where you could talk to people in all of the departments and the registrar had a booth where you could declare you major(s). The plural in my case. I have now officially declared(the paperwork still has to be processed) as a Theater/Music Education major with a minor in Spanish. Yay! I am really excited to be taking this step but completely flabbergasted at the same time. I will have no life outside of the theater or music buildings.

Honestly though, I am kind of ok with that. I have loved music and theater so much for so long that it would be completly amazing to live that way...forever. That is one thing that I worry about though. I have to be in multiple musical ensembles(well not have to...sort of) as well as various productions through the theater department. I really hope that the schedules wont be too crazy. I know they will be fairly crazy as Music and Theater are some of the most time consuming majors what with rehearsals and practising and memorizing stuff and lessons and....the list goes on.

Here goes...oh, and I am the sound board operator for "On The Verge" which opens next weekend. I have my first rehearsal tonight.

I am off to spanish now...enjoy whatever weather you have!

Well, That Was Interesting...

So I went to the last home basketball of the season last night. Actually I went to two games, the girls and the guys games. They were playing against Willamette University, and both teams won. but this blog is not about the Pacific Athletic Department, it is about ME! So enough of that. I don't even remember what the scores were...look them up if you care. I really meant for this blog to be a bit of a rant about the jerk who sat behind me during the guys game.

First off, I am not really a sports fan, but, I thought since I had not much better to do, and since I hadn't been to a game here before I would go. Also, the pep band was playing, and of course I went to support them. Anyway, during the girls game there was hardly anyone in the stands and I had space to sit without anyone bothering me. When the guys game started I was surrounded by strangers...who really like sports. The game was down to the last couple minutes and the uber-fans in front of me took to their feet. I couldn't see, but I wasn't really in the mood to stand yet. I wasn't that enthused it seemed like that clock was stuck. Anytime the ball was in play it only dropped about 3 seconds then there was a foul. So as the clock dripped down this jerk starts yelling at people who were still sitting down, myself included, to stand up. I just ignored him and continued to crane my neck around the wall of people in front of me. The ass then decided to hit me in the back of the head!

Oh, I just about killed him, not to mention his buddy who had been crowding me for most of the game had knocked my stuff under the bleachers. I was ticked.

That is all for now...I don't really have anything else to rant about. Here is a poem that I like just for fun.


i carry your heart with me- ee cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder thats keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Geek Out!

So, I have a psychology test in the morning. ack! Although, I am fairly positive I can fake my way through the first part of it. The second section on neurons kinda freaks me out. So, obviously since I make up stories to help me understand things, I did it for the motor neuron. I had been talking about it for a while and since I should be studying, I thought I would split the difference between procrastination and review. So now for your reading pleasure...The Epic of The Motor Neuron. (Please don't send me hate mail...I know it is lame, but it made me giggle)


They received a message from the Dendritic Spines that was passed through the dendrites and was taken straight to the Nucleus in the Soma. This required action so our heroes headed to the Axon Hillock to begin their journey. They jumped along the Axon highway over the dreaded Mylin Sheathes, a Glial Cell of the Schwanns type. As they hopped along they landed in the Nodes of Ranvier just for a moment to invert the charge. They traveled this way for quite some distance when they reached the horrific synapse. That liquid filled space between the Axon highway and their destination. They decided to chance a jump and made it from the Terminal Button to the muscles where there was much rejoicing (YAY!)

Good News And Other Awesome-ness

I got my micro-theme for Lord of The Flies back this afternoon. I got an A. Yay! I wasn't really sure if my professor was actually going to like it though since it is so imaginative. But she wants me to clean up a few things and send it to her as an attachment so she can give it to the class and keep it in her files. She said that after reading it she went "wow!" Yay, I'm smart! (no smart-ass comments please)

This week has seemed like school is really starting. I had a Spanish test today, and a psychology test on Friday. I think i did pretty OK on the Spanish test, but I really should get studying for my psych test. Today's lecture went right over my head, kinda made me feel dumb. I blame it on the fasting test I did over last night. I had to go in early and give some bodily fluids to the psychology department for a research thing. Hey, at least I get 20 bucks tomorrow for turning in a vial of spit.

Any-who, If you are anywhere where you will be able to see the complete lunar eclipse tonight you should definitely check it out. I totally will, after my writing class. Speaking of...I have some work to do, so it is time for me to stop procrastinating and get to it.

I wish you peace, love, and crazy relatives everyone!
