Alrighty, welcome fellow friends and family to another great edition of Breakfast at Emily's!
On tonight's show: My weekend escapades! YAY! (I am sorry if I seem very animated...it is actually the total opposite of how I actually feel right now...I just find it funny that I can make it seem that I am more alive since I am typing and not actually talking.....)
Let us begin at the beginning (according to a very fabulous source, that is a very good place to start)....
Friday evening. Lindsey came and picked me up. We got all dressed up and went to Taco Bell. Actually we got all dressed up for the theatre but made a quick stop at taco Bell for dinner. Then we were off the the theatre....or at least we tried to get there....The theatre is located on Monroe street. So there we are in downtown Phoenix in the midst of all the president streets (Washington, Van Buren, Jefferson, etc....By the way, Van Buren got a main intersection and Washington only got a side street.....that is because Van Buren is where all the prostitutes go and Washington I guess was too good of a president to have a prostitute street...I would have been honored...JK) anyway, Monroe was this little itsy bitsy street with an even tinier sign.....so we drove right past it, once we started getting streets that were no longer presidents we kind of figured we had to go back. I noticed the street as we were passing it so we had to make our second u-turn to get back to Monroe again. On Monroe, I turned to Lindsey, "Do you know what the theatre looks like?" and she replied, "No, I don't." We drove a bit more and came across this huge building that said on the side of it, "Herberger Theatre Center" or something....."Look Lindsey I found it!" was my smart ass remark. As we were walking up to the theatre, they have this naked statues (which was strange), and I was about to walk up to them when I noticed one of them was not a statue but was instead a lady singing opera ballads (she was still there when we left the theatre too...I wonder if it is a good business for her)....The show, now that I wasted time with the unimportant "you-had-to-be-there-funny" stuff, was AMAZING. I love this play. I am going to buy it and use monologues from it for the rest of my life! It was just so intense and well written and the woman who played the main character was so good. I thought going into it I was not going to be able to enjoy her performance because i am biased (Meryl Streep will be playing that role on the big screen on Dec. 12) but she was so good! I am so excited for the movie now!
Then we went back to Lindsey house, after first trying to get smoothies but failing miserably when we saw the place was closed. We had an interesting phone conversation with Kristen, I was nursing a sore tail bone, and Lindsey was throwing things on the ceiling fan....(You know what I am referring to Lindsey)...
Saturday:
Lindsey and I woke up fairly early to go to Gold Canyon to visit Blair and the babies, which are growing so fast you almost can't call them babies anymore! I love those children so much! I miss them already and I saw them yesterday! We stayed a little while and then we were off to the Sanchez house so I could do my little sister, Jessica's hair for her homecoming! I, personally, think she looked really fabulous! She looked so grown up though, my little sister is growing up! :( She had a great time and I was so excited for her! I love you sis!
I went to Allison's house after that and my other little sister, Nicole, also looked all grown up and pretty! Allison and I watched Johnny English (Love Rowan Atkinson...so funny) and started, finally, to make our dolls. I ended up with skin (we are making them out of t-shirts, and they take forever to sew, by the end of the evening I had "skin" because I had finished sewing but had yet to stuff it. Also, Baja Fresh went out of business, which really freaking sucks!
Sunday morning, I stuffed my doll, almost all the way. Allison has to finish stuffing when she closes me up. And then, someday, we will finally finish them. We went to church. Went to youth group. Then Allison and her dad dropped me off at the dorm (around 3). I went on the computer checked my email, realized that when I sent my teacher my monologue to help me cut it some more I didn't send the monologue attached....so I will hopefully get her suggestions by tomorrow so I have time to work on it before Tuesday morning.
I started playing Bingo online but realized I was falling asleep, so I took a nap at 4. I set my alarm for 5:30, when it went off I turned it off and told myself, "Why are you waking up? If you are tired sleep, you have no where you need to be..." So I did just that, and woke up again at 7:15 ish (I don't remember exactly when I woke up but it was sometime after 7). That was a really nice nap, I needed it. Now it is 10:30 and I am feeling drowsy still so I will be able to sleep more! Dad was telling me he took a nap and now won't be able to sleep tonight...but I am different and can sleep all the time!
I wanted to go to my mailbox because I have a movie there for me but I will go after bio and watch it tomorrow afternoon before rehearsal.
Tomorrow I have English, and Bio-lecture. Fun stuff let me tell you!
I also plan on going, after english, to get a big breakfast because I am kind of hungry now (but not too badly) and I am too tired to make something and eat it....so I am looking forward to breakfast!!!!
I really wrote a lot, what else is new, and am getting tired again. So, I will go. Hope everyone is doing just fine and I will write again tomorrow....
YAY, Kristen just figured out how to post on my blog using her AIM account....I have been on the phone with her, but not talking to (because I cannot multi-task) the entire time I have been writing this. SO, I do not have a winner of the last mad-lib yet, because no one posted and Kristen just did. So, no mad-lib on this post....sorry!
Bon Appetit!

There is nothing like Ice Cold Water to wake you up....
All my water froze in my fridge, so when I am thirsty (or think I will be thirsty) I must take one out and let it sit for a while. Now, when ice melts it turns into water, and the bottle can only handle so much pressure....so when I opened the bottle the water came rushing out and into my lap....now do you understand my title? Also, when Lindsey and I filmed our Physics music video (which for those of you who have not seen it, it is on youtube....titled nuns and inertia) and we jumped into the pool...that was freezing as well. Stupid as I am, that was not the first time I voluntarily got into a freezing cold pool. Brittany was trying to trick my grandfather (who, even though suffered a stroke and is out-there, knew the pool was cold in January) into going into the pool. She decided she would push me in to show him it was fine. I hesitated and we basically wrestled each other to the ground (those of you who know my sister know I must be pretty strong to hold up a fight with her for this long) and I surrendered myself because I knew she would fall in too....that was really cold, I couldn't feel any part of my body and I was having trouble breathing for a while afterwards (not too good)....
But anyway, on to my current life....
Yesterday I had my calc test, I don't think I need to go into detail. It was painfully easy.
Also, I had lab bio (we played with seashells), I had to roll a pair of dice 100 times and record the numbers I rolled (riveting stuff).....
And acting! OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH
ok, so we were supposed to have a monologue picked out and memorized on Tuesday but I missed class so I procrastinated even more and waited until wed to start memorizing mine (really bad thespian I know)...and on Thurs I had to perform it for my teacher for feedback and I will perform it for the class on Tues. But, I was worried because I waited so long to do it...it was Catherine from the Foreigner...... but I went in and did the best I knew how and she said, "You have such a beautiful presence onstage that I couldn't tear myself away from your performance to take notes." That got into a really good mood. But now that I have shared my good mood-ness, I want to drop the subject because I need to focus on it and I am not at any point where I can just not-do and be amazing, heck when I do-do I am not amazing.... also I feel weird talking about myself in this way....so, I'm done
Today I had english, my favorite class (if you cannot tell how I cringe when I say that...imagine the thought of getting your tooth pulled by a giant rhino tusk...still attached to the rhino)
But my friend (Lindsey, the only one I have) David (aka-Chubbs...idk) is in that class. On Wed I went out to breakfast with him and his friends. Today we weren't hungry enough to go get food, so we walked around for 90 minutes. It's great because both of our next classes start at the same time. We are the worst at killing time though. He walked with me to turn in some papers, then he showed me the secret garden on campus (that place is cool; it's relaxing and quiet, and remote) and we found a bench and talked. It was nice.
I went to bio...I swear this old man is like Mr. Dole just less eccentric. He talks about the perverted science stuff, which most teachers talk about but make it get-your-mind-out-of-the-gutter-this-is-nature, in the most perverted way possible....today he was talking about how rhino tusks (my reasoning for using that example earlier I guess) we ground down to make aphrodisiacs but nowadays we have Viagra which, "I have heard, I don't personally use it" works better and is cheaper.... That was awkward... I thought you you Allison...you know why, "Afternoon Delight"
In about 25 minutes I will leave to go to the most pointless class ever, Orientation to Theatre and Film. We are working in our groups today which I have never met and we have to do something or another.....whatever....I will just go with the flow....like a dead goldfish being flushed down the toilet....
Later, Lindsey will come over and I will give her the grand tour of ASU....Allison will get hers on Sun. And we are going to go see Doubt, a tony winning and Pulitzer prize winning play about a nun who thinks the priest is having relations with a male student. The movie, starring Meryl Streep and Phillip Seymore Hoffman, opens in theatres on December 12. And, the critics are already saying their performances are Oscar nominations at least. The trailer looks amazing! If you want to watch it go to simplystreep.com and you can find it there. It is worth watching.
I just realized I have my bio final on that day! YAY! At least I will end the day on a good note...kind of....
Well long time no mad lib so, and I will still give prizes....it may just be difficult to get good ones....
Monkey see, monkey __________ (don't be boring and say "do")
Bon Appetit!

Mother Knows Best
Before I get into today's topic, I will recap on some other issues.
Tom- I understand it is Yale, but you are such a lizard. Why are you in a place where it snows; and I, the snow bunny, am stuck in the desert. I am being rhetorical I don't want to hear "Because I got into Yale and no place would accept you"
Allison- I have family members who read this, so to talk about that one thing would be quite interesting, but now I brought it up so here we go!
Backtracking to the Olympics. We were watching the men's gymnastics and Allison was laying on the ground right under the tv, and exclaimed how everything looked larger...and then up on the screen comes a man who's stretchy pants displayed his, in Allison terms, junk. She was a bit frazzled by this and it was quite funny. The other day I was walking back to my dorm and this guy rode by on a skateboard and lets just say it was the reruns of the Olympics. I just started laughing hysterically. So there, my story for you Allison.
Class today was ya'know. I had english again...I really dislike my teacher...as you also know.
Then Bio...our other professor is back...he is cool too though....he tries to appeal to his students though....like today we were talking about plants and he said, "They have kinky sex." We all kind of couldn't believe he said that...but what he meant was, since plants do not have legs and cannot just get up and reproduce there needs to be a third party involved. It was funny but weird considering he is in his 60's.
After english though, I went to breakfast with a guy from my english class and his friends. I enjoyed myself and am glad to finally start becoming social! YAY ME!
Now for the chaos............and the reason for today's topic.
Words of advice: When your mother tells you, "Do you have everything?" even if you know you do, check.
I got back to my dorm and realized I had left my phone charger home...and my phone had less than half the battery life..... I called home and said, "Don't say I told you so...but..." So, mom knows today I get out early, and Britt had a doctors appointment at 1, so she said she would run it by. My phone is completely dead at this point. Instead of going out to lunch, I hurry back to my dorm, open the blinds, and do some work on the comp. Hour after hour goes by and mom isn't here yet. I start talking to Allison on Facebook and asked her to call my house and see whats up. She writes back, "go on AIM mom is online." I do so , and turns out (to make this long story a bit shorter) mom was waiting for me to call and tell her I was in my dorm....HELLO my phone is dead, I have no friends, and my roommate is gone all day; how do I call you?!?!?!?!? So we have this weird lecture like talk over AIM for about an hour...
"Do you want me to come now?"
"No I have rehearsal in 30 minutes, but I don't want to walk home at night without my phone"
"Well when dad gets home we can come up or do you want me to bring it in the morning?"
"I have class at 9, It's up to you , I do not care"
"Well what do you want?"
"You're the one who isn't feeling well, you decide"
"Dad and I will come up later, where is your rehearsal so we can meet you?"
(Mind you this went on longer and in more depth...and now I have to explain to my mother the campus that she has never been on and hope she can figure it out)
I leave for rehearsal, get there and one of the other actors is there but our director and all the other actors aren't. We wait for 20 mins, try to find a computer to check our email (the comp lab was closed for testing), and checked all the other rooms in the building. Finally, at ten to six, we decide no one else is here she must have canceled and left a voicemail which I cannot check. So, we leave. I get back to my dorm have Allison call my parents, find out they are on their way, and can finally take a sigh of relief....or can I....
I go out to dinner with my parents, get back, plug my phone in, and the messages roll in. I check my voicemail...5 new messages....
First three from mom, "Call me so I can bring your charger'
The next one from Tifani (my director), "He Emily, We will be meeting tonight at six not 5:30."
The last one, "Hey it's Tifani, it's a little after six hope you are on your way."
I got these at 9..... so I will see her in class tomorrow and i just hope that I am not in trouble because I also had to miss Monday's rehearsal because mom was sick and we had some issues at the house.
On a good note: I have my monologue almost memorized for tomorrow's class....UGH
I swear my life is a sitcom...and will become a very entertaining book when I do write it!
OH, Kristen though is funny. I am telling her all about this and she says, "I don't think I got that all, can I call you so you can explain it better?"
"No, Kris, my phone is....."
"OOOHHHH, I get it"
I love you Kristen!
Well, I will let you know how far up the creek without a paddle I am tomorrow when I find out.
Tomorrow is my long day.....and i have my first Calculus exam....
By the way...I passed the bio exam...with a 78%, not as well as I thought but I passed!
I have some Lab bio homework to finish and I need to work on my monologue more...so for tonight, that is all....
PS: My allergies are worse than yesterday too, so I had to deal with that while dealing with the rest of life.
Until next time,
Bon Appetit!

Happy Autumn!
Even though it feels like the dead of summer, it is officially autumn! That excites me, only about a month more of unbearable heat!!!!!! By Halloween we will be cooler!
I will first say, this post will be short. Please contain your sadness. My allergies are going bonkers and I cannot sit and stare at the computer for very long. Which happens to stink because all of my homework this evening is on the computer. But, I will manage.
So, yesterday I didn't have to go to school. I , instead, went to pick up my letter of recommendation from Blair. That was an adventure! (Hmph) But it was wonderful to see her and I enjoyed my self nonetheless.
When I got home last night from my visit (home as in where mom and dad live) I was supposed to take Brittany to urgent care but she threw a fit, therefore sparking a war between mom and her. Therefore causing mom to relapse into poor health, therefore my missing class this morning and rehearsal last night. I am all good though, emailed the director/teacher and all is good. I made it back to campus today, thanks to Jill and Haleigh (OMG that was such a fun frigging car ride! NOT). Went to calculus, went and grabbed a bite to eat, and am now about to journey into homework land.
Tomorrow I resume my english class (O I cannot wait).
Glad to have you aboard Lindsey! Hope you feel better, Allison. And Tom, don't forget me when you become famous in 4 years.
Until the sun will set again....
Bon Appetit!

Double Whammy!
OK, So I just had a great weekend! I went down to Tucson to visit with Lindsey and I decided not to tell Allison I was coming. We planned the whole thing out...it was great. When I finally surprised her she screamed so loud, someone probably thought she was getting murdered!
Also, we went to the movies. I HAVE OFFICIALLY REACHED MY GOAL; I HAVE SEEN MAMMA MIA! 10 TIMES! On the way home from the movies we made a wrong turn and ended up 25 miles outside of Tucson....in the middle of the desert....we were fine...it's kind of a really funny story now....BUT....There is a movie A Cry in the Dark about a woman who lives in Australia and, while camping, sees a dingo exit the tent where her baby was sleeping and her baby goes missing. However the court thinks she murdered her baby, and after 3 years in jail finally realize (oops) she didn't do it....It is based on a true story too...but In the movie she screams, "The dingo's got my baby." We were in the middle of the desert and Lindsey said that line, but there are no dingos in AZ so I changed the line to (imagine with a bad Australian accent) The coyote's got my baby". It was funny to us....
We had a great time together...I almost didn't want to come home, except I am seeing Blair tomorrow and am so excited for that....
ALSO:
I was asked this weekend, by my little sister Jessica (actually your sister Tom, but she is mine too) to do her hair and make-up for homecoming next weekend! I am so excited, she is the little sister I never had!
What else...oh...ALlison wins the mad lib contest..But I have decided that if you feel like doing my random mad-libs cool, however, I do not think there will be anymore prizes....they are just too difficult for me to come up with....I am sorry, if that makes you decide to not do them....fine I will find a way to entertain myself.....
As for the person who should not be named (and yes Tom, you were correct..and your falling out had nothing to do with mine....) ... I have a new outlook on life: 1) What's happened has already happened 2) What will happen will happen 3) I have to accept things the way they are and as they come 4) I cannot let what has happened stand in the way of what is to come 5) My time will come, and it will be well worth the wait! 6) I am so blessed and lucky to have 5 amazing friends who will do anything for me and love me unconditionally 7) My family rocks and I am lucky to have such a great family 8) I have my whole life ahead of me, what is happening now will only make me stronger for the future AND 9) My future will be amazing, it will be filled with loving friends and family, a great successful life, and I will be happy...as I am now!
What else.....
Mamma Mia! comes out on DVD on Dec. 16th!!!!!!!!!! I know what I will be doing that day!!!!!
Oh...the double whammy....do I dare explain.....well......lets just say....it will be a chapter in my book (when/if I write it)...dealing with incest lesbians.......
I have to go... I want to straighten my hair before I go to bed...and yes it is early but I have to be up at 6 tomorrow...I am going to see Blair!!!!!
To infinity and _____________ (lets see who decides to do this one)
Bon Appetit!

We had a great time together...I almost didn't want to come home, except I am seeing Blair tomorrow and am so excited for that....
ALSO:
I was asked this weekend, by my little sister Jessica (actually your sister Tom, but she is mine too) to do her hair and make-up for homecoming next weekend! I am so excited, she is the little sister I never had!
What else...oh...ALlison wins the mad lib contest..But I have decided that if you feel like doing my random mad-libs cool, however, I do not think there will be anymore prizes....they are just too difficult for me to come up with....I am sorry, if that makes you decide to not do them....fine I will find a way to entertain myself.....
As for the person who should not be named (and yes Tom, you were correct..and your falling out had nothing to do with mine....) ... I have a new outlook on life: 1) What's happened has already happened 2) What will happen will happen 3) I have to accept things the way they are and as they come 4) I cannot let what has happened stand in the way of what is to come 5) My time will come, and it will be well worth the wait! 6) I am so blessed and lucky to have 5 amazing friends who will do anything for me and love me unconditionally 7) My family rocks and I am lucky to have such a great family 8) I have my whole life ahead of me, what is happening now will only make me stronger for the future AND 9) My future will be amazing, it will be filled with loving friends and family, a great successful life, and I will be happy...as I am now!
What else.....
Mamma Mia! comes out on DVD on Dec. 16th!!!!!!!!!! I know what I will be doing that day!!!!!
Oh...the double whammy....do I dare explain.....well......lets just say....it will be a chapter in my book (when/if I write it)...dealing with incest lesbians.......
I have to go... I want to straighten my hair before I go to bed...and yes it is early but I have to be up at 6 tomorrow...I am going to see Blair!!!!!
To infinity and _____________ (lets see who decides to do this one)
Bon Appetit!

I'm slipping...I know
Here we go again, I missed a day. I am sorry. I will try to stay on top of things (leave it Tom). Speaking of Tom....I may be obsessed, but I like being obsessed!!!!!!
And the winner, by default, is Tom. Allison didn't enter.
I am sorry you do not like your Canadian medal...I couldn't think of anything else...
Today, you win.......
^ ^

\___/ a smiley face (it's better than a Canadian Medal....right?) (It's the thought that counts)
Yesterday, I had that bio exam.....
Easier than I expected, but that could be a bad thing, but I think I did well...I will know tomorrow. I also had the conference with my english teacher. She has no idea what she is doing in my opinion. Basically she told me everything that I learned in high school about how to write is wrong...when I know it isn't....
But whatever...then I had rehearsal, that was fun. I really am excited about this project. I wish we had more rehearsals in a week but, we only have 2.
Today:
I had acting class, I love that class!!!! So Much!!!!
I also had Lab Bio, I cannot wait to get into more interesting stuff...like dissecting squid! I can't wait! But we did a lab about natural selection and evolution (Allison, do you remember in Dole's class doing that lab with the piece of cloth and the little hole punched pieces of colored paper, and we distributed them on the cloth and had to pick 25 of them quickly...and the moral of the lab is the ones that blend in with the environment survive.....that's the lab we did today).....
Then I had calculus....she wants me to sign an honors contract and get honors credits for the class...I love that class because i feel so smart!!! :)
I get to sleep in tomorrow morning!!!!! I don't have english again until next Wed.!!!!!!
I will probably watch a movie online, or the rest of The Dick Van Dyke show season one....then go to sleep, and then wake up late!! I don't have to really get up until at least 9!!!! I am so excited!!!!!!!!!
I want to rant for a second.....
It is over something stupid but I want to share with you all my issue...
It is stupid because it has to do with myspace...but our generation is "run" on websites now, and something said on myspace means something...
Anyway...I had this friend, he was one of my closest friends ever, I could tell him anything, we had a ball together, he was/is great...then he got a girlfriend....this girlfriend had/has him whipped...and e stopped talking to me...I figured she would co off to college and we could piece our friendship back together...but the other day I went on myspace and realized he wasn't on my friends list, so I looked into it and it turns out he deleted me from his friends and blocked his profile...I was so hurt, I am still hurt...and I mean yeah it is just myspace, but our friendship meant a lot to me...and I miss him and I had hope...but by his recent action it makes things more permanent in a negative direction.... I am really hurt...but what is done is done, and what is to come is to come...I have decided to stop trying so hard to make things happen, I am going to let them happen as they are supposed to.... I have my new college life ahead of me and he will be the sorry one...what goes around comes around...it's almost my turn for something great to happen....
I can't say that...I have amazing friends and an amazing family...and I am so blessed for many things! My only concern is what is going to happen on Monday, when I go back to the High School to pick up my letter of recommendation and visit with B, I am bound to see him at some point...but I have a feeling he will just ignore me like he did the last time he saw me.... No biggie...I will just work extra hard to look good, look happy, and look like I don't think about him anymore.....I have moved on, according to him....you all will back me up right? And Tom, this is a subject I really don't want you to mock me about...I am really upset over this...I need your support...not your bull....and don't try to say that is your support....I know you have a better heart than that for me....
Really changing the subject
"You're simply the best!" -Tina Turner (or Jim Carey at AFI Lifetime Achievement Awards for Meryl Streep) (really great clip...look it up on youtube! it's on my favs)
It is still pretty early but I am going to go watch the Dick Van Dyke show to make me feel better, I would love to watch The First Wives Club or Mamma Mia! right now but that isn't an option!
Good Night all, sweet dreams, and if the bed bugs bite-bite 'em back!
Oh...I need a mad-lib.....
If you ever catch on fire, remember: Stop, Drop and _____________ (if you say roll, you are disqualified)
Bon Appetit!

Belated Post
I am so sorry I did not post yesterday. I do not know what came over me.
So I will start with yesterdays doings....
I signed up for my english conference: I got tomorrow. So, I don't have class on Fri or Mon! (Well I don't have english, but I have my other classes). Bio was Bio....More Darwin stuff...I think we get it by now! Rehearsal was cancelled. And the time was returned to 5:30 instead of 7...so, Allison, I will be walking there in daylight, and you don't have to worry.
Yesterday I also watched She Devil it was so bad it was good! The story line and screenplay was horrid but to the point of hilarity. Meryl Streep was hysterical. She is so versatile. But this was one of my favs of her...then again all of her characters are my favs....I'm not obsessed though...there is a difference...she is just my idol...don't judge me....I mean, you can, but it won't change my opinion or anything....
Moving on...to Today!
I had acting, which was amazing! turns out the monologue I thought I needed for today (which I didn't have prepared) isn't due until the 23rd, so I have time...but I will jump on it so I am prepared.... We worked on soft focus which is where you don't make eye contact with any object or person, (it's difficult to explain) you are aware of everything but aren't focused on any one thing....I found it easy because it was like dazing out...you know when you are aware of everything but are like paralyzed, and someone waves their hand in front of your face...I do that all the time, so this came rather naturally.... Then we did Colombian Hypnotism...which is where you have a partner, and one person is A and the other is 1....to start person A holds out their hand (with the palm facing their partner) and you lead your partner...if you are the follower your partner's hand is all that matters to you, it is all you are focused on and you must follow....My partner, as was most of the class, was all giggly and said, "I must look stupid"...when we switched (and i have done this before in HS and I love this) I was 100% focused and into it and when we finished she was in "awe" and was like, "you are so good"...I kind of wanted to say, "duh...I was focused, the whole point of the exercise is to focus...duh" but I didn't.....And I came to a realization (I have thought about it before but ...) And that was... As an actor, people tell me I am good, but I cannot see myself act...when I am on stage I become so into the play that afterwards I don't remember being on stage (for instance, when tandace and I did Your Mother's Butt supposedly someone in the audience made a remark and I don't remember hearing anything...) It's weird....But when I act I try to throw myself into what I am doing, just letting go, sometimes it is more difficult but it just makes it so much more fun to really "become" whatever I am doing...Recently I have heard, on like three different accounts from three different people (some of which weren't even directed to me but I still connect them with myself) that in acting you are where you need to be when you can let yourself go to the point where you become lost in piece...and, jumping back a little, sorry, when people tell me I am good I kind of just look at them , because I am a modest person...I am not egotistical (except when talking about singing at thespian conference...we got an excellent...that's just funny though...right Tom?)...but taking all of this in I feel (I can't explain it right but I will try) I feel like I a on the right track...if I pursue acting, I know I have so much to learn I am not saying I am amazing because I know I'm not and I want to work to that...but I don't know if any of this makes sense or if I am just going on and on....It just makes me feel good knowing I am doing something right....
Anyway... in between Acting and Calculus...I watched an episode of the Dick Van Dyke show...I laughed so hard _______________ (next mad-libber)
I am debating on who should win the last one....I would follow Allison's in a heart beat...but Tom's was really funny....and it really can't be a tie because he commented on Allison's ( I mean I am in charge I could make it tie...but it doesn't feel right)...
I think I will give it to Tom...BUT...in the future....NEW RULE (yes I can do that) You cannot use what the other person has said...it's an unfair advantage...and it is not as much fun for me...
BUT for now I will give this one to Tom...you win.....
(Sorry I am a bit distracted...I am listening to Alvin and the Chipmunks sing the Time Warp)
a joke.....
What is green and grows and has little red wheels (I'm just kidding, that is Kristen's joke)
For those of you who are curious about the joke above....Kristen told us this one...the answer is...the grass...I lied about the little red wheels...(cricket chirps)
I really don't know what your prize shall be Tom! I will continue writing and if I think of something I will go from there....
calculus was easy again, we have an exam next Thurs on the stuff we covered up until today...so what we will do this Thurs and next Tues is beyond me...but I was helping this girl today...it made me feel smart! I like calculus!
So I will start with yesterdays doings....

Here is your prize Tom...it is a Canadian Medal
Oh...I forgot to tell you about my Gym experience....
No, Tom it is not a romance novel in the works...honestly he is not good looking at all (not that I was going for that reason, I really want to get into shape..my eating habits have gone to hell since I moved out and I just feel out of shape) Anyway...I had to do some small assessments to see where I would start out...I had to walk as fast as I could on a treadmill without stopping or slowing down for a mile...I walked 4.3 mph and I wanted to kill myself after the 15 minutes it took to walk a mile....ugh! But like 10 minutes after I was back to my dorm relaxing my legs felt better...today though my gluteous maximus is sore and I don't know why...from walking?? I hopefully will go back to the gym tomorrow or Thurs/Fri and keep it up....wish me to break a leg (I don't really want that to happen I just have an actor's vocabulary)....
I have a huge Bio exam tomorrow...if i fail I am required to attend every class for the rest of the semester, which is not good because on Monday i have to go see Blair and I don't have Eng so I was going to take the day off... So pray for me! I believe it is on the scientific method...but it is more complicated than it sounds....
I also have rehearsal tomorrow...we should finally start working! I am excited for that!
Other than that not too much going on.... I will let you know how all of this goes tomorrow evening!
Allison, keep awaiting for your surprise, it will arrive this weekend...I mailed it out and they assured me it will be there! Sorry to keep you on the edge of your seat but it is a surprise!
Bon Appetit!

"You seem so far away, though you are standing near"
Today, I went to the Arizona Cardinal's game with the Sanchez family. We were in a suite...it was so cool! BUT, something even cooler happened. Johnny Depp was at the same exact game...I really like Johnny Depp.....I would love to have a more interesting story for you (like say...we met him....) but I don't. That's right Tom we lied to you. We did not meet Johnny Depp, we were just in the same building (with like 50,000 other people). I thought it was cool!
Other than that my weekend, went by and is now gone.....
Tomorrow is an action packed day!
I have English! Biology (lecture), where we will be getting ready for exam on Wed! I have a meeting with Dave, my personal trainer! AND...I have rehearsal from 7-9! I am tired already actually! I don't have a problem with any of it...my only tiny issue is having to walk home in the dark after rehearsal....I am working on that...I am going to ask people at rehearsal if they will walk with me or give em a ride....if that fails...Wed I will ride my bike there...so I can ride very quickly home.... Please do not worry about me, I am not worried! Allison.
Also, I have a play report due on Thurs. I am trying to decide which one to read. Tom, your opinion will not be considered here, because I know you hate him...My choices are...
Beyond the Horizon
Anna Christie
The Emperor Jones
The Hairy Ape
All by Eugene O'Neill...don't say anything Tom...skip ahead....
As for Mad-Lib contest number 4....the winner is...Allison....because she went the step further....
She wins.....A surprise which she will get on Friday...or sometime this weekend...as long as I mail it out in time....This is that thing I was talking about in another post about this upcoming weekend...I wish I could share but I don't want to give it away...so once I know she got it I will let you all know!
Tom, thank you for sharing your schedule with me. I appreciate it. Although I didn't know until today that you got into the play! Congrats! Oh...and the only issue i had with you possibly going to London (I actually think it is awesome and hope you can go!) is that Linds and I were going to come and visit you over spring break....But when opportunity comes a knocking...I say let them in! You will always have Lindsey and I, you won't always be able to tour in London with an Improv troupe.....
I saw Mamma Mia! again this weekend, that makes 9. Not only do I really enjoy the movie, but I made a statement that I would see it 10 times and I cannot chicken out....So, only one more time to go! I just hope it stays in theatres....that would suck if I got up to 9 and then it stopped showing...I guess there is always dollar theatres.....
I cannot wait to go check my mailbox tomorrow...I should have a netflix movie....She Devil.... I am excited for that!
Oh, Allison, thank you for the monologue suggestion...I would so totally look into it, because i loved that one too...but the next time I plan on seeing B is on the 22nd... and I need to have one picked and memorized I think by Tuesday....so, I am going with one I already know fairly well just to save myself from hours of torture pulling every follicle of my hair out...one by one...
I have an early day tomorrow and had a busy day today (woke up at 5!)...so I am going to retire...
I close with one thought......

Origin if BUB
Actually, although I have heard Allison use it many times, it is a yiddish slang word. It is a short version of Bubeleh, which is a term of endearment. However, I have heard it used in many tones (i.e.: sarcasm, endearment, resentment...etc).
But, yes I use yark from Allison. He he he (Thinks of phone conversation between Lindsey and Allison).....
Oh, I am so terribly sorry I for got to mention the winner of mad-lib contest two. It is Tom, because Allison didn't submit an answer....
You, Tom, win..... a Knock Knock Joke.....(sorry)
Knock Knock...(who's there?)
Con...(Con who?)
Con-gradulations Tom!
As far as contest three goes....I am declaring no winner....We will have a rematch....
Allison: I know you love me more, but that reply was a little mean...
Tom: Your response was not original enough...and then you added economics....
But, it is my fault for giving you one that is overdone.....
As for my day....
I had english (woot woot, so much fun!), although.... We are doing a project right now (A profile of a place...I picked the movie theatre)...what you have to do is show how this place is significant in American culture....yada yada yada.....Starting next wed (so, next wed, fri, and the following mon) We have signed up for one-on-one critique time with our teacher...I signed up for wed...so fri and the following mon I have off from class!!!! Friday I will be sleeping in and Monday I will be going to visit Blair! I miss her oh so terrible. (She is my drama teacher from high school, and is now one of my dearest friends. I watch her one year old twins...they are so cute!!!!) So, that made english a bit less mundane.
Then we move on to Lecture Biology....more happy-go-lucky fun there... We talked about evolution...mind you my professor is a roman catholic.....but is still a scientist..... What ever....
Now normally, I have my "Orientation to the Film/Theatre school" class Friday afternoons but today was different. We are selecting mentors. So if your last name is A-L you go at 2...and if your name is M-Z you go at 2:30...so I didn't have to go to class until 2:30...This was the most dysfunctional system ever....All the faculty is separated, by areas of focus, in different rooms. You have to visit more than one room....however, the teachers were leaving after the first round....they talked to one group and that was that....I started in the writing room (playwriting/screenwriting, which I am interested in)...then I went into the acting room and all the teachers, but one, left...I talked with the one but decided to pick my mentor from the writing group...He is Jeff McMahon..he specializes in Acting/Movement/Playwriting, so I think I have the right guy! Hopefully he is the one I end up with, because one of the other teachers mentioned that we will get assign one...but they were as confused as we were......
Then I came home....then I left...I went to the Sanchez household....Hung out, ate dinner, hung out some more.... Tom your family is a laugh riot! OH...sorry Kristen....we had her on speaker phone and Momma Sanchez thought she sounded drink...so, we listened more carefully and she so totally did! But, as we know Kristen very well, she would never talk about alcohol, so it was just bizzare and hilarious!
What else.....
Football game Sunday with the Sanchez's. Tomorrow I get to shop for dorm food.....
And then the routine begins again!
Happy Birthday to Kristen and Lindsey's mom (tomorrow, the 13th, is their birthday!)
Kris is finally 18!!!!!!!!!!!
If she were home we would ____________________. (#4)
(this should be a good one...remember you get one chance to try this one out...If I feel they are both equally worthy...I will figure out to do then)
I am excited because I get to watch TV!!!! Hopefully something good is on!
Quick little agenda for the upcoming week....
MON: At 1 I have an appointment with a personal trainer at the gym at my school, Dave. I want to get back into shape, get on a healthy diet, and take care of my body...so I set up an appointment to take a few assessments to see where I need to start out and where I need to set my goals....I am excited! Also, I have rehearsal at 7-9.
TUES: Nothing comes to mind...
WED: Last day of eng for the week! Bio Exam! Pray for me! (If I fail I am required to come to every class from then on...if that happens I can't go visit Blair!) Rehearsal again.
THURS: I think I have a math exam (either here or Tues...)
FRI: I want to tell my plans but I cannot...until they happen!!!
Overview of my upcoming projects:
I talked about the one i am doing in Eng.
In acting, we are starting monologues....I have yet to pick one...that will be decided this weekend....
In my "Orientation...." class I have a film critique (one that is currently in theatres)...Guess which one I picked....did you guess Mamma Mia!?...if so GO YOU!
I hope that is all I have to do...that is all that comes to mind right now.....
But I am getting sleepy and want to watch some tv...so I will conclude this entry....
Bon Appetit!
Em
But, yes I use yark from Allison. He he he (Thinks of phone conversation between Lindsey and Allison).....
Oh, I am so terribly sorry I for got to mention the winner of mad-lib contest two. It is Tom, because Allison didn't submit an answer....
You, Tom, win..... a Knock Knock Joke.....(sorry)
Knock Knock...(who's there?)
Con...(Con who?)
Con-gradulations Tom!
As far as contest three goes....I am declaring no winner....We will have a rematch....
Allison: I know you love me more, but that reply was a little mean...
Tom: Your response was not original enough...and then you added economics....
But, it is my fault for giving you one that is overdone.....
As for my day....
I had english (woot woot, so much fun!), although.... We are doing a project right now (A profile of a place...I picked the movie theatre)...what you have to do is show how this place is significant in American culture....yada yada yada.....Starting next wed (so, next wed, fri, and the following mon) We have signed up for one-on-one critique time with our teacher...I signed up for wed...so fri and the following mon I have off from class!!!! Friday I will be sleeping in and Monday I will be going to visit Blair! I miss her oh so terrible. (She is my drama teacher from high school, and is now one of my dearest friends. I watch her one year old twins...they are so cute!!!!) So, that made english a bit less mundane.
Then we move on to Lecture Biology....more happy-go-lucky fun there... We talked about evolution...mind you my professor is a roman catholic.....but is still a scientist..... What ever....

"Lady Luck came and found Me"
(Little Shop Lyrics)
Anyway, I want to take a quick moment to express how I feel right now at this very moment.
I was just brought to tears by one of the greatest people I know. Tom, that comment you left me literally filled my eyes with tears. (As well as Allison and Kristen...I had to share this).
You surprise me. One day you can be a big lovable jerk, then, out of no where, you say something so meaningful that it brings people to tears.
I feel so lucky and blessed to have such amazing friends. Tom, Allison, Lindsey, Kristen, and Nicole are so amazing. No matter how far apart we are I can feel their love. You are lucky if you can find one true friend...I have five. I wouldn't replace them with any others. They mean the world to me and I don't know what I would do without them. It may seem difficult at times because we are all over the place, no where near one-another, but it is our love and memories that keep us going. Also the constant thoughts of what the future will brings us, what amazing memories we have yet to make....
I love all of you so much. Words cannot accurately describe my feelings for you all. You have helped to make me who I am today. I cannot imagine where I would be without you in my life. All I do is think of one of you (or all of you) and a smile appears on my face.
Making new friends is strange, and it is a work in progress...but no one can or will ever replace you...it's like that scene in Devil Wears Prada...
When Emily is finding a replacement for Andrea, she says, "You have some very large shoes to fill. I hope you know that."
Well, if anyone tried they would be in the same predicament, however, there is no possible way anyone can fill your guys' shoes....no matter how hard they tried....
I am now at a loss for words on the topic, and I am getting a bit emotional, no tears or anything like that just sappy and lonely....
So, for my own personal health.....I will change the subject.....
One more thing. Thank you Tom.
Thank you for that note and thank you for putting up with me. Thank all of you for putting up with me, and loving me, continuing to stand by me.
Now I really am changing the subject....
Ok, so I have my acting class this morning and I thought I was going to be late. So I am trying to hurry up, I get there and the teacher isn't there yet. So, we all just sort of hang out, talk, wait....and wait....Finally one kid gets up and says he was leaving. So we all contemplate if we should leave or not.. One other person had her number from the syllabus, so we call her... As it is ringing the kid who left called us and said she left an email saying she wasn't going to be in class...I could have slept in!!!!!!! Oh well...
Oh, and this is my longest day of the week, I only have three classes but I don't like walking back and forth from my dorm all day, so I usually leave at 8:30 and don't return until about 4. BUT, since my whole morning was blown, I had a dilemma. I decided to just hang out in the building, and do some work on my laptop (mind you I don't bring my laptop everyday, but for some reason today I brought it, thank God!). I actually started working on my one-act, The Funeral. I was told by my teacher from last year, to fix certain things and submit it. I kind of procrastinated this summer but I had nothing else to do. Now I am so excited about working on it! I wrote a whole 3 pages today, which when you are the writer is a lot. Then I had Lab Bio (a whole 2 hours later). We did another boring lab....in a few weeks we will start more interesting ones, like dissecting a squid (which will be fun, but not as fun as Allison an My pig, Raphael Hamlet the 17th). After that I grabbed some Burger King, and after another hour, I went to math. the teacher was late again and we got out early as usual. The content covered was also pretty simple...God Bless Mr. Stone!
Back at home base (my dorm)....I have done absolutely nothing. I talked to Kristen, we went on Google maps and located each other's dorms and waved to each other....
Tomorrow is Friday!!!!!!! This weekend I am going home!!!! And am going to the Cardinals Football game with the Sanchez family (minus Tom, sorry bud).....
And I have a big secret up my sleeve that I cannot tell you but if it happens I will let you know all about it, but until then anticipate it! (I know you hate that Allison!)
It is 9. I want to watch another movie tonight but I have some homework that I want to get out of the way....
I believe that is all for now.....

Just for Tom
You know something bub? As much as I love you, I find you extremely annoying. Which I know is how you want me to feel. For some reason it makes you happy to annoy me..... I'm sure on the other end it's a jolly ol' tally ho' time, but on this end it is pretty ridiculous....
SO, since master Tom was a sore looser about losing the first mad-lib contest....and tried to disqualify Allison (which you have no authority to do.....my blog!)....I wrote you a poem, just so you won't feel left out.....
Tom you are a cheater,
I don’t think you beat her.
Even if her boobs aren't real,
Allison’s still has more zeal.
(For those of you with confused expressions...Allison's mad-lib referred to a calendar girl and Tom tried to disqualify Allison by saying the model's boobs were fake...see the comments....we are strange little earthlings)
Also, how long do we have off for Christmas break? A month (roughly)....I understand you want to spend time with your biological family....You can...we are asking for one day....
Oh, and you may not enjoy snow but I do, very much so. Also, you better start getting used to it, Mr. I'm going to live in New York someday...... And with friends it is different, trust me....it is. But, if you still don't want to go, you don't have to. Kris, Linds, Allison, and I will go; and we will have a great time no matter what. Except for the fact that you seem to be drifting further and further out of our lives..... we'll manage....
Sorry to have wasted the rest of your lives with something I could have personally sent him.
Oh, to the rest of my interested friends and family...
I decided to watch My Best Friends Wedding, cute movie....It was a good choice for tonight!
I want a George! (The gay best friend, who is absolutely amazing; if you don't know why....see the movie)
But for now....Sweet Dreams....and...
Bon Appetit!

Kicking off my Shoes
That's it! This week is half over!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! (Kermit the from anyone?)
Anyway, from the comments I have gotten, I see that you enjoyed the mad-lib...I will try to incorporate more of those....
And I believe Allison won Tom.
Tell her what she won....a poem written by Emily on the spot about her....
(here we go)
Allison you are a laugh riot,
don't even try to deny it.
You make me laugh till my face turns blue,
So congratulations, you get a poem about you.
That was lame, I know. It was worse than __________? (contest numero dos?)
I am hungry, however I don't want to leave my dorm and I don't know what to make...Soup or Mac n Cheese (which I made for lunch)...there is also cereal....bread...peanut butter... and soup....
But the dilemma with the soup....My roommate is the one with the microwave...and I have permission to use it...but she doesn't have it plugged in....she has other things plugged in and I feel bad unplugging them...ok I really don't but usually she had just left so I know I have time to cook and put things back where they were....When I got home this evening she was already gone and I do not know for how long she will be..... I mean I could just say, "Hey I plugged in the microwave...I will plug your stuff back in when I am done."...then it is settled soup....
I shall return shortly...pretend that there is that cheese elevator music like when you get put on hold.....
Ok I am back...not that you can tell the difference....the soup was a very good decision! Thank you for helping me to choose.....
I was watching my picture slide show screen saver and boy do I have some great memories....
Like this for example...I was supposed to be cleaning my room...but what do I do? Play dress up.....
But anyway....I just added a picture I wanted to figure out how to do so, I knew I could and I knew it would be fairly simple....I had just never done it before.....
Did I tell you about my test yet? I don't recall doing so.....
This was a waste of my life....And it wasn't what I had expected....they said it was going to measure my reasoning skills and what not...I expected multiple choice questions like:
If a stampede of elephants came around the corner, heading toward a window factory you would:
a) Yell, "Watch out!"
b) Dress up as a giant peanut and lure the elephants away from the window factory
c) Pull an Indiana Jones move, pull out your whip, swing onto the lead elephants back, and steer the pack to safety
d) wake up from this stupid dream
e) I have no flipping idea
but NOOOOOOO....
I had to write two essays.............(I am making a very evil face right now).
I don't remember exactly what about...but it was dumb and I know I didn't do as well as I could have because I wasn't prepared to write essays nor did I want to write essays....so I played it by ear and I'm just glad this isn't for a grade.....
Any who.....
I personally would have turned into Indiana Jones, wearing a peanut costume, saving the day from a shattering disaster......
I think this evening I will watch a movie online....Netflix has this new thing where you can watch certain movies right on their website....I might have to take advantage of that!
Also, I don't think I have much more to say...I can make stuff up but I don't know if I can top the rest of this post.....
I am sorry you sit through this.....but since you do....
Bon Appetit!
Em
I have just one thing to say...
And that is, I have actually more than one thing to say.
BUT, the thing that really made me start this post is Tom. I absolutely love your comments. You make fun of me like no other but I still end up laughing my ass off reading your comments.
Also I want to rant, but I will do that in a second.
Tom, I understand that you are in a place where it snows and the last thing you want to see in Arizona is snow (unless that comment was sincere, which I doubt)...but the fact is not that we are going to see snow, the fact is that we will be going to see snow together, all of us. I personally think it will be oodles of fun! And I don't care what you say or think, you are coming!
Now a quick rant!
Tonight I have to take a stupid 2 hour long test. There is no class it is for, nor is there any reason why I have to take it. I will not get the results until February or March of next year. They want to measure my critical thinking, my analytic reasoning, problem solving skills, and written communication skills.....ugh!
So, I will write more after I return from that fun adventure!
Until then...
Bon Appetit!

Have you ever had that feeling?
Ok, let me explain. I am in some bizzaro mood right now. I just want to write and write, but I don't exactly know what to write, and I feel very artistic but I don't know where to begin. It's a place that I have been before but I cannot recall how I found my way through the fog.
That was just the first thought that came to my mind, so I shared. On a more normal note. Today I had acting and calculus. Nothing real exciting. Nothing new to report.
Oh, Allison, I love you so much! Words cannot describe it.
I have been truly blessed with amazing best friends. Tom, Allison, Lindsey, Kristen, and Nicole are so amazing. Life would be incomplete without them.
moving on rapidly tonight. I think i will watch that movie tonight, you guessed it, I did not watch it last night.
Unless I have homework due tomorrow...i don't believe I do though....
Quick rhetorical question.....
if you admired someone you didn't know, and have just learned a lot from this person without ever meeting them, and to found a way to contact them...would you write a nice letter describing what they have done for you and thank them for helping you in your life without having ever met them?
If you couldn't put two an two together....I found an address where I can mail a letter to a certain someone who has really been such a Godsend to me. This person has taught me numerous things, they have been my motivation, my inspiration, my goal, my idol, and I just want to thank them...I would try my hardest to make my letter more about the thanking and less of the praising...but if I mailed this person I would have to say at least one praising thing....
If you think it is a bad idea, share your comment with me somehow and why you think that. Honestly, I am really leaning toward doing it. I doubt that this person would ever really get it, but in that small chance that they do I think it is my duty to tell this person what I have to say....so I might not listen to you if you tell me not to (unless you bring up a really good point) but I value your opinions.....
back to business....It is only Tuesday...this week is slow....OH
Another dilemma....I need a letter of recommendation for my audition into the theatre department (I am only pre-theatre until I do this)...all of the letters I have from applying to college are not theatre specific and the one that is isn't on an official letterhead and so my dilemma...do I ask this really busy person to have one written within the next week and a half? Do I have a choice? I feel bad giving this person such a short amount of time to write it...but I do not know of anyone else who could write it....I know I asked a question and I am about to answer it myself but the process of writing it down hoping for a potential answer sometimes gives you the answer...I will email this person and tell them they are not obliged to do it...all else fails I have a letter that I can use, but it isn't theatre specific and it just isn't very good, but will have to do if all else fails....
I want to apologize...I have noticed that I have many typos and this post may be hard to follow because I jump back and forth...I am so sorry...My brain is slowly migrating to a far away land....and it isn't leaving it's new address...if that even makes sense...I am also slowly turning into _______ (insert something fitting there).
While I let my brain recuperate from lord only knows what....
Bon Appetit!

I want to apologize...I have noticed that I have many typos and this post may be hard to follow because I jump back and forth...I am so sorry...My brain is slowly migrating to a far away land....and it isn't leaving it's new address...if that even makes sense...I am also slowly turning into _______ (insert something fitting there).
While I let my brain recuperate from lord only knows what....
Bon Appetit!

Home Sweet Home....right?
Well, I am back in the oven of America, Arizona. I am so tired it isn't funny. So, don't laugh. Today was oh so interesting. I mean, I cannot believe that only this morning I was still in Texas?!?!?!
Let us begin our adventure there.
So, I wake up freakishly early to catch this flight. I get home, go to my dorm, drop off my bags, change, and go to english. Then I wait around campus for an hour (if I went back to my dorm I would have been dead for the rest of the day). I go to biology (lecture), and have to force myself to stay awake. Then I checked my mailbox and went back to my dorm for a little nap action. It was nice!!!! I would have just slept the rest of the day but I had my first rehearsal/work session. That was fun, even though I was dazing in and out. We basically did some journal work and discussed where we can focus the show. Now, I am back in my dorm, deciding if I want to watch my Netflix movie tonight or tomorrow.....It is Falling in Love with Robert DiNero and Meryl Streep..... What to do what to do?
Hmmmm, what else to talk about?
Oh, Just a short note:
Tom and I are convinced that squirrels and birds are trying to take over the world. So, we are starting a protest against them. Tom will stand on street corners with cardboard signs and flyers in New Haven and I here, we will then work out way around the country until we convince everyone of our premonitions. So,if you could be kind enough to just believe us, it will save you the trouble of having to apologize when they make their move.
I just want to say, like i did in an earlier post, when i am tired I babble. So, this post might begin to get a little messy.
For instance, everything in my fridge is frozen. My water, my juice, my olives...wait are my olives frozen?.....No they are not!!!! Yes!!!! I could go for a good olive right about now! MMMMM olives!
Anyway, in 12 hours I have yet another class.....
did you know the serving size for olives is 5 olives. I eat like 20-30 in one sitting, that's probably bad huh? They are just so good!
I am waiting to hear back from Lindsey, to see if she will join our crusade against the squirrels and birds.....
I want a puppy. Bing with Jethro and Bella this past weekend really made me realize just how much i miss having dogs. I don't see why I cannot have one in my dorm if I take care of it. Elle Woods was allowed to have her dog. I have an electronic dog on my facebook, but I forget to feed it and whatnot because it is on some program through facebook and I can't really play with it. One day I will get to have my puppy. Until then I will just complain! :)
Ok so my olive serving was only about 10 olives today. I am too tired to eat.
What are olives? Where do they come from? Why are they so salty? Is that why they are not so good for you? I don't expect answers, I am being rhetorical.
My roommate is leaving, I don't know where she is off to.... she probably has a life, whereas I do not. This is my life, informing you about my life, that I don't have.
This weekend I should have a life! It is Lindsey's mom's and Kristen's birthday. Lindsey will be home. I want to see Mamma Mia! again. I know, again. It makes me feel good and I am in the mood to see it. If Lindsey doesn't want to see it again, I will go alone. I don't care, I need to see it. It is essential for my overall mental health that I see it.
It's only Monday! UGH. O well, I cannot change the calendar, or the way the earth spins.
Speaking of the earth spinning, I want it to be autumn! I love the autumn and winter, even though in Arizona you don't have the autumn and winter I would like to have.
Speaking of winter, and Tom this will be the first you hear of this. I have convinced Lindsey to take a mini day trip over christmas break to go see snow in northern Arizona. Tom you and Kristen are also invited. We will have a ton of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a threat and a promise!!!!!!
If anyone else wants to join us, feel free to do so! Allison!!!! Come on now! For you out-of-staters....most of you have snow...and for those who don't and want to find a way to come...great! (the imagination is a great form of transportation)....
That was good emily. Imagination is transportation! Someone has probably already copywritten that.......
I am getting very babbly so I will retire...
Bon Appetit (and sweet dreams)

Don't Mess With Texas
Don't worry, there will be no "messing" from me. I absolutlely love it here! The weather is great, the neighborhoods/city are great, and I love being with my family!
I mean, I really REALLY want to be back in New York, but if I don't get my "big break" and make big bucks to live in New York, Texas is fine by me.
Today we went driving around. We saw the ranch where the TV show Dallas was filmed. We also went and looked at model homes. Now, I know you already think I am a major dweeb, but I have always loved looking at model homes. So, to do that today was a lot of fun and they were such amazing houses! And so much cheaper that anywhere else!!!!!! "Hey ma, dad, pack up all of our crap and head on out!"
And then we went out to dinner. The food was great! We were going to also go bowling, but we were so (and still are) full. So, bowling is planned for tomorrow.
I am having a really really great time.
But I am very sleepy, so.....as I did earlier
Bon Appetit!

Howdy Y'all
Greetings from Texas. This one will be short because it is quarter after 2 in the morning here and I have had a long day....then again if I stay up for about 5 1/2 more hours I will have been up for 24! No thank you....it has been a long day already.
So, few quick updates....well, not really updates, just things I want to tell you....
The plane ride was ok. I love riding on planes! We had a stop over in El Paso...when we landed there it was pretty rough....we really "landed"....it caught all of us off guard, even the flight attendants....But, when we landed in Dallas, it was much smoother. I am so excited to be here! I love my family and wish I could see them more often...
Hey, if I do get transferred to Fordham I will be a subway ride away from most of them...
Other than that not too much happened since my last post.
My highlight for the day is still the bird incident....
ON that note....
Bon Appetit!

Hi all, I know it is comparitvely early for me to be posting...but I am off to the airport and will not be able to write today. Actually, I don't know that I will be able to pick up a connection where ever I am so this might have to satisfy you for the weekend....
Today was a very good day. I don't exactly know how to explain it but I just had that all around good feeling, you know?
I had my acting class, and we just talked all hour about resumes, so not too much happened but I love that class and we are a very entertaining bunch so what seems to be a boring talk was actually quite fun. I also had bio (lab) and I thouroughly enjoyed that class today. We did an "experiment" where we observed skulls and, well we were supposed to form hypotheses about the distinct characteristics that each animal had (ie: sharp teeth, where are the eyes/nostrills located)...but along with that we decided to try and guess what each animal was.... I really enjoyed that...I might have to take a palentology class in the future.....
Before Bio, I had a very intersting experience....it's actually a quite entertaining story now that I look back.
Basically....
I went and got some Starbucks (a drink and a coffee cake) and found a shady bench to sit on and enjoy my 40 minutes before bio. I was doing just that when a brid flew up. At first I figured, "you want my food, but you can't have it...so go away." Well this bird could read my mind because....it just sat there and stared at me....Now, birds usually are scared of humans...but this bird was not...It litterally sat like 5 feet from my feet and just stared. It had these green glowing eyes and it started to creep me out so I shooed it a little....it barely moved...It hoped a little and then took a seat next to me on the next bench....I was so freaked out by this damn bird that I packed up my stuff and went and sat somewhere else.... The fact that it was so close that I could see detail in its eyes was creppy...I could feel my artistic juices flowing in my mind....
So I texted Lindsey the story and she basically laughs in my face...now I laught a little....
BUT, on a lighter note, she got called back for a part that she did't really give off..so we see that as a good sign...the director wants to see how veersitile she it.....break a leg darling, I love you....
Well, I really would love to talk more but I must go get ready to leave....
Bon Appetit!

Well it's Wednesday...part 2
Sorry about earlier...Kristen called me (she is in California going to school) and I had to talk to her. Before I knew it, I had to leave for my meeting.....
The meeting: went well. Had a few more people. Rehearsals (working sessions as I like to call them) start Monday. I call them working sessions because we have to play with ideas and devise a script. It is a project that we will get to perform, it's not a play that we will be showcasing. I am really excited for it. It will be a great experience. Not just for acting, but for writing skills, directorial skills, etc.
"girls just wanna have fun"
You guessed it I am listening to Allison's cd still....I put everything on pause until I had returned.
I am now eating cereal because I had such a craving for it. Yum...cinnamon toast crunch!
Lindsey should be at her audition now. Break a leg chica!!!!
I have to go over what homework I can do before I leave, if I haven't done it already. I have two more classes before I can leave....ugh I want to go now!!!!!!! But I can't....
This post will be significantly shorter than the previous because I said most of what I wanted to there. Here I just wanted to let you all know about my meeting.
Have a lovely evening/day/week etc.
Bon Appetit

Well it's Wednesday...part 1
This post will be in two parts. Let me explain. I felt like writing now, but the day is not over yet. Normally, this would be fine because all my classes are over and I am just hanging in my dorm, not too much can happen (or at least something that cannot wait until tomorrow). But, I have another meeting for that show at 5:30. So, after the meeting I hope to have some more info to share that can not wait until tomorrow.
Today, so far, I had english and bio (lecture). English was pretty mellow. As was bio. Not much happened. Some group work in english that seems pointless. And lecture in bio (lecture) go figure. technically I don't have to go to that class unless I fail the exam, which isn't until the 25th (ish) of Sept. But I go anyway...like I believe I have mentioned, I have copious spare time. So, to waste it by not going to class is dumb. Not only that, but I want to go to class. I am taking this serious because, in case you missed the memo, this is school. It will help me in life, and the least I can do is help myself..
Congrats to Tom, for making call backs. Break a Leg my friend.
And to Lindsey, Break a Leg this evening on your audition. I love you both and hope for the best... and remember: it's a dog eat dog industry... be prepared for ANYTHING....
Allison, I am listening to your anti-prom '07 mixes...they make me smile....
"It's tearing my heart when I'm with you, but when we are apart I feel it too..."
Oh, I got back to my dorm and realized I have a giant tear in my pants right below the pocket on the butt. It's not bad...just awkward. But hey, c'est la vie!
"with or without you"
Listening to music while trying to type is not one of my strong points. When it comes to music I cannot muti-task to save my life. Ok, if my life was on the line, I am sure I could focus enough to do it. But normally, I can so caught up in music. For example, We (Lindsey, Kristen and I) were in the car listening to Mamma Mia! and I was singing, and supposedly Kristen had a whole (one-sided) conversation with me, and then got my attention and i had no idea what was going on... So, if I am intently singing or listening to music....make sure you have my full attention...hit me with a fish or something. If you don't have a fish handy...improv....Actually don't use a fish. I hate fish. Eating them, feeling them, smelling them, I only like them in a tank....those are pretty....See how off topic I am now...I blame the music...even though I know that this is how my brain just is.... I call it creative/imaginative/artistic/etc...not unfocused/or any negative adjective....
"Like a record baby, right round round round."
The chicken dance! I love the chicken dance Allison!!!!!
Sorry.
Oh, this cd rocks! And it is only cd 1!
Back to the blog.....
I am all packed for Texas, tomorrow. I have to pack ahead of time. Not only because it is a wise traveler's tip, but because right after class I am off.... I am so excited!!!! I cannot wait.....
Speaking of being random (I know I wasn't speaking of being random, but I go off on tangents very often and I use the first thing that comes to mind to transition...ie: once I think I said, "speaking of saxophones (or some instrument), we should do dinner and a movie". I am a very bizarre person...Oh no...cd one is over...hold on one moment please.....
Where was I, right, being bizarre....I am told (by my friends, yes Tom I have some) that it is one of my best qualities...
"I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind"
How fitting Allison...nice timing!
It probably scares some people though...oh well...any actor you meet will have this quality...you sometimes don't know it though...Why, you may ask? because we are ACTORS...we know how to pretend to be something else....like normal....we really are no where near normal....Insanity is our happy place.....
OK...I had this dream last night....and I thought is was out of the norm because I saw a face of someone I don't know....I thought you can't see random faces in dreams...it scared me.... because I was supposed to marry this person...but I had no idea who they were so I called off the wedding....not to mention I was only 18 and none of my best friends were there.....When I get married Lindsey, Allison, Kristen, Tom , and Nicole WILL be there....be it in a dream or not!!!
Oh Allison I love you...
"you make me feel so young"
I know your man is Sinatra and I share that quality with you and I am in heaven right now....I needed this song....
Yeah...so I found this dream bizzarre....not to mention I was getting married! What the heck...no not for several years thank you......
I want to apologize if you cannot follow this long post. I have jumped all over the place...My brain is sloshy....If I turned my head sideways I would loose it all....
And...if I am this crazy with a brain...I don't want to imagine ho w I would be without one....Tom refrain from commenting....
Kristen just called me...Hold on one moment....
Ok...time is flying...I have to get ready to leave for my meeting...I promise to write when I get home...
Bon Appetit!

"I don't wanna talk"...so I'll just write...
I am glad this day was easy, because just coming from a long weekend I am quite tired. One would like to think a long weekend would restore oneself...but no, I am more tired now than I was before this weekend. That could have something to do with not really sleeping during the Meryl-thon. We got a total of 10 hours of sleep within 2 days. Thats not too bad....
Well, today I had only 2 classes. Acting at 9. We did some vocal warm-ups. Nothing too terrible exhausting. Then, at 3, I had calculus. The teacher was like 10 mintues late and we got out 30 minutes early. I can't complain though. I find myself enjoying the class because I get everything and find it very easy to complete. If I complain karma will shun me with harder work.
Tomorrow I have english, which I really don't like. The teacher speaks english as a second language....an english teacher with english her sencond language? Not only that but she is very strict. I mean, I expected that with college, but she is the only teacher I have who is this mean. She says it is part of her culture...to be tough. I don't get why someone should be that mean, it doesn't help the learning environment. But it's her culture, so I can't say too much if that was how she was raised. I also have biology (lecture). Ok, whatever. I sit. He talks. I take few notes. class over. I go get lunch. My day is done by 11:40. Still can't really complain. But sometimes it feels nice to complain, you know? To just let all the negative energy out somehow. Maybe it's just me. So, my copius spare time, which I joked about never having in high school and now have more than enough of, tomorrow will be spent packing. Because, on Thursday, right after biology (labrotory) I will be getting picked up to go to the airport to go to Texas! I am so excited!!!!! I am goint to visit my Aunt Bev and my Grandma. I cannot wait.
I remember when I was younger and had a bedtime, and when it was bedtime I dreamed of the day when bedtime didn't exist and I could stay up as late as I wanted. Now, here I am, no bedtime, 8:30 on a Tuesday night, and I want to go to bed. A few years ago this was my bedtime. I don't know what I expected. to stay up to the wee hours of the morning? It's overrated. It is very difficult to function on little sleep. Manageable but annoying. Unless you are slaphappy, then it is just entertaining.
Ok I am babbling. When I babble, you can tell I am tired.
Until tomorrow...
Bon Appetit.

Well, today I had only 2 classes. Acting at 9. We did some vocal warm-ups. Nothing too terrible exhausting. Then, at 3, I had calculus. The teacher was like 10 mintues late and we got out 30 minutes early. I can't complain though. I find myself enjoying the class because I get everything and find it very easy to complete. If I complain karma will shun me with harder work.
Tomorrow I have english, which I really don't like. The teacher speaks english as a second language....an english teacher with english her sencond language? Not only that but she is very strict. I mean, I expected that with college, but she is the only teacher I have who is this mean. She says it is part of her culture...to be tough. I don't get why someone should be that mean, it doesn't help the learning environment. But it's her culture, so I can't say too much if that was how she was raised. I also have biology (lecture). Ok, whatever. I sit. He talks. I take few notes. class over. I go get lunch. My day is done by 11:40. Still can't really complain. But sometimes it feels nice to complain, you know?
