I want to start out by announcing the winner of the mad-lib contest from two posts ago. Nice effort Tom, but you literally made my brain hurt. Kris, c'mon, plays the oboe? You have to appeal to your audience here. Which is really just me, because I am the only judge..... But you are cute and I am excited you figured out how to comment. So, the winner is, Kristen. Your prize:
a poem written on the spot (bare with me):

I don't know how to start,
how bout something from my heart.
Kristen you are such a dear friend,
one I will cherish till the end.
Your mad-lib was kind of lame,
but at least you played my silly game.

Thank you, no autographs please.

I have been in my head a lot today. And, I want to talk. I realized last night, that I enjoy my own company. I know doing everything by myself is no good, and I like the company of others. But, the people I am meeting are making me like myself more and more. Let me explain. So David is really funny and nice, but when you add in his other friends, he changes. Same goes for his other friends. When I talk to them one on one they are awesome, put 'em all together and what do you get? Emily very disappointed. Now don't get me wrong, I am not giving up on making new friends, I understand this is a trial and error kind of thing, but I have no problem balancing out meeting people with meeting myself. What I am trying to get at is... Please do not give me a hard time for not be as social as others. I will do it at my own pace on my own time and in my own fashion. I want to find people I can be comfortable around, who I can be myself with, who I find potential in having a lasting relationship. I know I cannot replace Allison, Lindsey, Tom, and Kris. But I don't want fake friends. This is just me venting....sorry I am making you sit through this....

I will move on...well....
Also, the whole stereotypical "college life" is not my cup of tea. Alcohol and drugs are just dumb, I can have a great time without them, in fact I have. Staying up and out all night I find annoying. Yes, I could be having a good time, but I like sleep. I like being healthy and sleep keeps me healthy. I like having a bedtime for myself.

Ok, I am really done ranting about that crap....

Yesterday:
I had acting and calc.
In acting I performed my monologue for the class. I did well but I we cut my monologue so I could focus on emotional shifts but I was a bad thespian and didn't practice all weekend (I was very busy). My main focus is getting it as good as I can for my audition in October for the program. My teacher is excited to help me with that, so that is my main focus.....also cutting a Shakespeare to a one-minute-er. But she handed me a play, told me to read it, and told me she wants me to do a monologue from it. That's a good thing. It is All My Sons by Arthur Miller, and the character is Anne Deever.
In calc we got our tests back. 99% baby!!!!!! Thank you Mr. Stone for teaching me so well last year. I botched one thing, but that is how I roll. Most of my lost points last year were stupid mistakes....test anxiety....in this cast it was just me not using my common sense.... Now we moved on to the second derivative and the chain rule....more easy stuff! I really hope this is how the whole semester will be, because I am a theatre major why do I need math? Also I like math, just not hard math....

Last night I went to Young Life, a christian group on campus. It didn't start until 9, so I knew I would be out passed my bedtime. It was so amazing though! The people were so nice and everyone was jamming and worshiping, and the woman who leads the group has this really cool South African accent and her message was about taking the time to create relationships that are meaningful rather than fake ones (hence my little brain villagers rioting). Afterwards I was invited to go to In-and-Out with a bunch of people. I didn't realize it was like 2 miles away from the school and we were all walking at 10:30 at night. Also I was hungry but didn't bring money with me....and I was too tired to eat...and their food is really good but I am out of acid meds so that would have been a bad combo anyway.....
I am a wimp, so I brought up the fact that we were north of the campus and my dorm is on the southside of campus and it was nearing midnight....they said one of their friends stays at the same dorm he will walk home with me....and he did (again, with the others he was annoying, but when we were just walking he was so cool....) I got home at like 1 and went to bed...after doing a Sudoku...I am addicted to those by the way....(There you are Kris...more about me...you love getting to know who I am...."Have you ever been in a natural disaster?")

Today:
I had english: I hate that class more than I hate seafood, ok I hate seafood more but you get my point.
Bio was bio....boring but entertaining in a weird way....when he acts like Mr. Dole things get entertaining...
I had to meet up with my group from my Orientation class to do a project that is due Friday (our final meeting of that stupid class). We have to come up with some sort of thing and create a proposal....we are doing a fundraiser for the Phoenix Children's Hospital....but here's the catch....it is a Medieval Times Festival incorporating children's theatre into the mixture....it actually sounds really cool, I wish we had the time and money to actually do it....I say that now,but Lindsey is living proof that those things get pretty stressful..... Ours is just a mock proposal....
Rehearsal was canceled, which makes me sad, I love rehearsal!

Mom and Dad were supposed to come up today...but they have literally been sleeping all day long, every time I call I wake them up....It's bizarre....but I am pretty sure they are ok.....
I actually just called and dad was up.....but mom is sleeping.....

Not that you care and/or need to know....but my but is asleep.....

Oh! I had a very big dinner, my first big dinner on campus since school has started. I had pork and chicken and broccoli, carrots, mashed potatoes, and a brownie...it wasn't great but it was food!

I get excited over the stupidest things, huh?

Emily is so nerdy, she would get excited over _______________....
(rules for this mad-lib...be realistic...don't say nuclear physics or something not cool like that, you all know me.....or at least you should......)

The little brain villagers have stopped rioting, they are now just protesting..... The texting conversation with Lindsey and my brief rant helped calm them down a little bit....hopefully a good night sleep will get things back to normal....."Hey brain villagers....it's a school night, go to bed! Riot some other day! Please!"
They weren't listening to me verbally so I thought if wrote it they would see it more clearly....

Kristen I am sorry I didn't call you, I have been in another mind set today....Tomorrow? We shall grace each other's ears with each of our lovely voices!!!!!

As for the rest of you hooligans....

Bon Appetit!
