Hehe!

"People say that Anakin is nothing but a whiney teenager, of course the biggest villain in the universe is going to be a whiney teenager.  He started out as a whiney teenager, an emo kid with issues."

I love Kevin Smith!

A New Week, A New...

So I am not feeling as weird/upset/depressed about things at the moment...I think the stupid full moon had something to do with it.  It always does, although I never figure it out until after the fact...anyways!  I am working on getting things ready for the art show at the beginning of February that I'm really excited about.  

I had coffee with Stephanie the other day for her birthday which was a lot of fun, and Kalin and I seemed to have worked things out...so I guess things are getting better...slowly.  I have a few leads on some more job type things which  make me happy.  I at least feel like I'm headed in the right direction...ok, now I'm rambling enough!  Off to run errands and then clean the house!!!

Socks!!

I just found the best website EVER!!! [Ok, maybe not EVER, but for someone who loves socks as much as I do, this is pretty awesome, AND affordable!]

The Wind...

I am feeling restless today...and in a very bad mood for no apparent reason...

I got home late last night and went to be about 12:30 only to be woken up at 1:30 with an overwhelming sense of dread and Carter mrowing most pitifully...so I got up to investigate and then was almost paralyzed with fear that there was someone in the house, but I found Carter and gave him a little bit of food and went back to sleep but I had weird crazy discombobulated dreams the rest of the night...

This morning felt anti-productive, that's right not just un, but ANTI productive.  It's like I went backwards, and the fact that I have 19.99 in my checking account and I don't get paid until the 15th and all my bills are due on the 13th is driving me CRAZY!!! I need more work....I have a lot of stuff out in the future that is coming up, but nothing RIGHT NOW...which is frustrating and I couldn't stop thinking about it all day today.....

At least I had rehearsal with the Munchkins which helped take my mind off things, except now I'm afraid that now that I am writing about it I'll start thinking about it again....but I get to see Kalin tonight which will make me happy [provided he's not being poopy!]

I think these feelings and nightmares can be largely contributed to the ABRUPT change in weather-the wind is stirring everything up on the Physical AND Spiritual plane which I know sounds like New Age hoo ha, but I really feel that at least for me a lot of how I feel about life is connected with my environment....

I also think I need to practice social interaction after prolonged periods by myself...

The End.

Christmas Cross Post

So this Christmas season has been an extremely busy one [my first out of school, with a real job even!] and with four family Christmases in a row I'm fairly exhausted! But overall it was a fun week, and I'm glad I got to see all of my family, and Kalin's without any major arguments [which is good on both sides!]

I also got lots of good presents for our modest Christmases, and a few that Kalin and I got for ourselves! Let's see if I can list them:

Kalin and I Presents! [we bought together]
New Printer/Scanner [now I can truly update!!]
Carpet for our hallway [now it's not as cold!]

Kalin got me:
The Acts of King Arthur and His Knights by John Steinbeck [I had been coveting this book at the used bookstore for months]
Brightly Burning by Mercedes Lackey [one of my favorites in hardback!]

Mama/Granma got me:
Lots of nice clothes [for work and such]
fun socks
The Jim Henson Collection [Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, and MirrorMask, which I took back because I have them already and got IronMan and TombRaider 2 Cradle of Life, go Lara Croft!]
The Sweeney Todd Soundtrack [I'm getting the movie off Amazon!]

Other Gifts:
First seven books in The Edge Chronicles! [Kalin's Dad/Stepmom!]
Amazon Giftcard 25$
Barnes and Noble Giftcard 25$ [got City of Falling Angels yesterday!]
Applebees giftcard [that we're saving for Valentines!]
A nice pretty glass bowl to fill with peanut m&ms
the promise of an afghan
other various and sundry items I can't remember now


And I know it's not about the gifts, and I did have a lot of fun being with all of my family, but I am verrrrrrrrrry thankful to have some alone time now to play with all of my presents, and a lot of the stuff I got for Christmas was stuff I needed [the clothes/scanner] or it was nice someone remembered that I liked it [books/movies] and I hope everyone else out there had a wonderful Christmas and has a fabulous New Years!

As far as this past year goes, all I'm going to say is that it has been a year of change and that it's now time to "Keep moving forward." More art, more theatre, more writing, and more love for everyone: that's my goal for this next year!"

Ciao!

Hmm...

You Belong in Amsterdam

A little old fashioned, a little modern - you're the best of both worlds. And so is Amsterdam. Whether you want to be a squatter graffiti artist or a great novelist, Amsterdam has all that you want in Europe (in one small city).

What European City Do You Belong In?

I find this interesting because...I know nothing about Amsterdam. Other than that I have a cat in my lap and it's a little cold in here. Christmas stories arriving soon...[when I feel like typing that much!!]

Strange dream...

So I had a very vivid and strange dream the other night, and here is all that I can remember of it.

I was in a car driving up a mountain, there were two other people with me: a boy and a girl.  I had the feeling that they were brother and sister.  There were trees and snow all around us as we went up this curvy road [felt a lot like the road I took to Blue Ridge].  All of a sudden the trees cleared and there was a huge mansion in a clearing on the side of the mountain next to the road.

the next thing I know we are inside the mansion, but we're sneaking around, looking for something.  The house was all white and icy blue, but I remember a black and white checkered tile pattern in the main hall with a grand staircase.

 We get split up, and after awhile something happens and I see the boy running outside being chased by whoever lives in the house [I think there are a lot of them].  I was upstairs and the girl came running upstairs and said I had to create a distraction by dressing up like a bride.  This involved wearing pieces of light blue and lavender silk, draped around me which I had trouble holding up as I went running down the stairs.  The group of people at the bottom of the grand staircase looked at me and then started chasing us too, we went out into the snow behind the house and somehow ended up back in our car driving away...

See, I told you it was strange...but at the same time seems like there's potential for a story in there somewhere...that's why I write these things down.  You never know...
