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!

No. You should let that person know how much an inspriation shes been. I mean, if its a she. It could be a he. I mean, if I affected someone like that, it would be nice to know. By the way, I have a feeling that I know who you were talking about in you post. You're not so sneaky. But I'll play along. You should really ask the theatre person for a letter of rec. I'm sure she'll be happy to, at least for you. There I go with the gender specific pronouns again...

One thing: your "quick" question took like 4 paragraphs. Let's rename it, shall we? (BTW, that's a good rhetorical question.)

Let's try, "I have a question that requires some explanation, and now that I've described how much listening you will have to do because I'm upfront like that and wouldn't trick you by saying its a quick question and not having it be one, would you like to hear it?"

Yes, much more fitting...

Oh, Tom, how I love thee...:)

Emily-Ann,
I say write the letter. Whether it gets to IT or not, at least you will have expressed yourself; I think you will make you feel a lot better. And if it does make it to IT, IT will be thoroughly blessed. <3

As for the letter of recommendation, I suggest you ask THE PERSON and the OTHER person (whom THE PERSON does not particularly enjoy the company of) to each write you a letter, so if one fails, you will have the other. I know that THE PERSON is busy, but THE PERSON will gladly do it for you and I know The OTHER person will gladly do it too because they both adore you. Better safe than sorry.

Oh, and Tom? I think I have a better Mad-Lib: "My brain is slowly turning into" Miss September in the 2008 Playboy calendar series. ;)
