Yes, I am finally home. I am officially a college sophomore and I officially hate Las Vegas...
Let me explain...all school year I went without being sick...I am not home a week and my allergies flair up the worst they have ever been (unless it is a sinus infection...in which case I should be fine soon....we shall see). As for Vegas itself...I haven't seen much of it...
It is nice to be home. Good food, sleeping in, being able to do relaxing things. Very nice!
I do still hope to travel to New York at some point (with a pit stop in Detroit). I know I will be going to Texas later in the summer. ALSO I am really hoping to go on a roadtrip to Cali with Lindsey the beg of August!!!
As for now...I think I am going to go to bed...sorry all.
Will post more soon.
good night,
Bon Appetit

If it's not one thing, it's another...
I can officially say I am a college sophomore!!!! Had my last final this morning. Have my room all packed up. The next step is moving out....which is turning out to be more stressful that one would normally expect it to be.
Mom is in town, staying with some friends of ours. She has no car and they work all day. The best plan would be to have her use their car when they get off work, come move all my stuff out, and then I would be done. One problem, their car is not that big, so it would take a few trips to get all my stuff to the storage unit. The woman's boyfriend has a pick-up truck, but he does not speak English....so, I think what is happening is....they will get home from work, use the boyfriend's truck and come move me out. Seems simple, no? Hopefully it will be.
I am all packed, out of meals on my meal plan, and have absolutely nothing left to do. So, moving out tonight would be the absolute best thing for me.
My roommate and her dad just left to get his rental car and go check him into his hotel. I am assuming they are also going to go put the money down on our storage unit. If not....I obviously cannot move out tonight...I am pretty sure that is one of their errands though.
Ah the stress. Of course nothing involving my family can be stress-free, that is just not how we function. Having been away from home for about a year though, I have come accustomed to stress-free daily activities and this new-found stress is unnerving...lol. It's like humidity. When I live in Florida the humidity did not bother me. I moved out to Arizona, went back to Florida for a visit and couldn't believe how horrid it was to be in humidity. That is my family: humidity; and I have been adapting in the dry desert.
Love them though, and once I am officially moved out and on my way, things should calm down a bit. I mean, mom and I still have no way to get us back to Vegas, but that bridge will be crossed once I finish crossing the bridge I am currently on. If I had my own car, most of the stress going on in my life right now would be non-existent...however, I do not have a car. A lot of things would have made these events non-existent; but, no use complaining or hoping for a miracle. I just have to accept things as they are and take it from there. I will continue leaning on the Lord for all my support and on my friends for theirs.
Hopefully my next post will have some relieving news...
Until then:
Bon Appetit

The End Draws Near
That is a pretty dark title...when in reality I am referring to the end of school; which is not dark at all. It is actually a great relief. So, now that that is cleared up...
One more final, tomorrow morning, costuming. After that I am done...with school. I still have to move out, which will be annoying and stressful. Soon it will all be over and I can hopefully relax.
Spent the weekend with Lindsey, which was awesome!!! We heartattacked kristen's house, we watched movies (Dark Matter, Last Chance Harvey, Steel Magnolias and Pulp Fiction), we watched The Nanny, we ate some awesome Trader Joe's food, we rocked out to Mamma Mia and we got frozen yogurt! I also had the best dream ever.....
Side note- My Awesome Dream
So basically, I went to the Ellen show in August hoping Meryl would be on to promote Julie and Julia. Turns out she was going to be on the next day. I, however, had written a letter to her and she had read it. So, Ellen called me onstage and told me Meryl was very upset she couldn't be there the same day I was but wanted to have Ellen thank me for writing such a beautiful letter. I was so overcome with happiness that (I didn't cry) I might have gotten a bit watery eyed and I went, "Oh crap, now my mascara is going to run. I bought the wrong kind and it is so sensitive to water. It is so annoying." Just as I said that, a voice behind me said, "Oh I hate when mascara does that." It was Meryl Streep, turns out she and Ellen set me up. Ellen had another trick up her sleeve. She told me she wanted to invite me back on the show the next day when Meryl was to really be on it. I told her that I was going back home right after today's taping and she said that she is putting me up in the fanciest hotel for the weekend. Turns out, Meryl was at the same hotel, right down the hall from me. She invited me out to dinner with her. While at dinner we called Lindsey and surprised her. Then the next day on the show Meryl called me up on stage and asked if I was going to the premiere of the movie that night. I told her I had no idea that the premiere was that night. She then asked me to be her guest at the premiere and offered to take me shopping with her to pick something out to wear. Just as we got to the red carpet and I saw what it is really like to be a movie premiere...I woke up.....but it was still an awesome dream...and I am looking for tickets to Ellen's show in August, just because I can...
Back to life....
Weekend with Lindsey was awesome and I cannot wait to see her again on Friday!!!!
Might see Mom tomorrow night...hope she is feeling ok.
Well off to bed. Got that final tomorrow.

I'm trying
I still feel bad. I need to log on more. This summer I promise to do so. I will have more time on my hands.
I have been so stressed. School is going well. Finals almost over. Picked up my script for the play next semester. One more final left.
what i am stressed about is moving out. Mom is coming into town, but we won't have a car so how the heck we are going to move my stuff out is still up in the air. I am struggling to figure out how to pay for my storage unit. I could pay in monthly, but the roommate want to pay up front so we get a discount on the third month. I am trying to come up with the money but not having too much luck. Mom says not to worry about it she will figure it out, and she always does, I just hate not having money!!!!!! Sucks that the job fell through this semester. Next semester will be so nice. I will get a job and have an apartment so I won't have to move out in the summer.
Once i move out i have no clue what my plans are. Mom and I are staying with friends but we don't know for how long or how to get home....I will feel at ease come the end of June.
Mom goes to court for her social security hearing and hopefully we will see progress. dad is still looking for a job. Times are hard but I just need to remember to put my fears and troubles to the lord.
Going to Lindsey's for the night, which is a breath of fresh air and will help me to set my mind on other things than my troubles.
This was not one of my more uplifting posts but I am rather stressed. I will keep you posted and write more. It is a way of venting that does work for me. I should take advantage of that more.
Prayers are welcomed and are appreciated. Love you all!
Bon Appetit

p.s. The Trailer for Julie and Julia came out!!! Woot can't wait until Aug. 7 to see it!!!

I feel terrible!
Ok, I haven't heard any complaints. So, I don't know if that means people stopped reading (because I had such a big group of followers) or if you have been checking regularly hoping I soon would return.
Well, I want to sincerely apologize for my absence. But, I promise to try to keep up more regularly.
To give you a readers digest version of what has been going on....
I moved in with Amanda late January. Things have been going nicely there. She is the greatest roomie I could ask for...at ASU....
Classes have been going along nicely. Cannot wait for the year to end though.
Movement has been tough but I am really loving it. My professor just did a one man show that really connected with me and gave me some ideas for a show I want to write. Those are all the details I am giving out right now.
Playwriting has been GREAT. I love writing and love learning more about how to make my writing much much better.
Costuming has been so great as well. We did a make-up section (so much fun, pics have been up on facebook). We then made teddy-bears and paper masks. I will have the pics of my mask up soon...as soon as I take them. Next we are making puppets. Our theme is sustainability. I decided to do an old style New York taxi cab....not so much about sustainability but more so I could create a character with a thick New York accent! lol
Eng and Hist are annoying.....but after this semester I will be done with them forever!
I had to audition again to get into the Theatre/acting concentration and I made it this time around!!!! Woo Woo.
I also, as of just recently, can officially be titled as:
Emily-Ann Moriarty
Undergraduate at Arizona State University
majoring in Theatre with a concentration in Acting
and minoring in Architectural studies.
It's a mouthful I know, but I am super excited.
I think that is all the things that are really significant in my life that needed catching up.
Now that we are pretty much on the same page, I am going to sign off for tonight. I know what you're thinking, "Good, it's about time."
So you're right. I'm off to slay dragons and shell oysters.
Take Care and...
Bon Appetit.
Glad to be Back blogging!

An uphill battle
This is not a metaphor. Today I rode, with Amanda, to Tempe Town Lake....which was downhill....so the ride back was uphill....my thighs were screaming (metaphor...that could sound really bad...but that is only if you are Tom or Lindsey, who have there minds in the gutter!) It wasn't too bad actually. It was a lot of fun. It was hard work, but that is because I am out of shape. So, I needed this. It was only probably a total of 5 miles, not bad.
Today I had my movement and my composition class.
Movement is going to be hard work, but I know if I put forth the effort I will gain a lot from the course. (Friday we are going to be doing pushups and sit ups and starting a work out regiment that we will need to follow all semester...not what I expected, but it is only one day, and then we will get into the real movement work)
Comp was comp. The grad student teaching the course is weird, but I think I will survive.
After class I went and got my books. Oh, here is a story. I call them yesterday to see if they had what I had ordered (they told me a week ago, when I ordered, they would call to let me know when they were ready...no phone call so I call them). She said all but one. I told her i would be in either wed. or Thurs. and she said they would hold them until then. So, today I put all my old books into my backpack, so I can sell them back, and we ride over to the bookstore. 1) all the books I want to sell back cannot be sold back because those courses are getting new books (so now i have to put those 5 in my backpack and my new 7 in my backpack...ugh) 2) I go downstairs to get my new ones and the lady tells me after the first day of school all un-picked up orders get shelved...but since her co-worker instructed me wrong she would go find them all for me. 3) They had all but one...so i had to go to the main bookstore and get it there 4) I end up with 13 books in my bag and I am on my bike and am dying.... it was very interesting to say the least....but I hurried back to my dorm and dropped them all off and was free.
Then we went to the lake and after that back to Amanda's dorm. As soon as we got back we crashed. I put on the tv and we basically just laid there without moving for an hour, we were both dead. Then we had a snack (cheese, pepperoni and crackers...so good!) and played Wii!
After dinner I headed back to my dorm and hopped on the comp. I went onto facebook and had a little too much fun pranking Kristen. Had a heart to heart (in a good way) with Lindsey and one with Amanda. Cried in overwhelm (also in a good way) and am finally ready to settle down and go sleepy time.
Tomorrow I have playwriting, costuming and history. After those, going to hit the gym and write my "worst play ever."
So there you go. (In Greek accent, like in My Big Fat Greek Wedding)....(that is my new phrase right now)
Happy Slumber....and
Bon Appetit!

One score and nine days ago....
I posted last....
That is 29 days by the way....
I chose that title because today was inauguration day.... I know dorky and thematic...
Sorry it has been forever. Hope everyone (like I have that large of an audience) had a nice holiday season! I had a lovely holiday season...I will now tell you about it....I will, however, refrain from going into too many details. If I were to do so, no one would want to read because it would be dreadfully long. I know...you're hurt....but you will heal in time.
Well, when I left you I was in Las Vegas, it had snowed, I didn't have a room (but that wasn't a bad thing), Lindsey and Kris were planned to drive out on the 27th, we were hoping for Mamma Mia! tickets and the guy who lives under us hated us.....
Well....... Christmas came and went...just another day on the calendar, not a bad thing. Especially when you are going through some tough financial times...but I got a digital camera (Yay, finally) and the Mamma Mia dvd!!!!!!! On the 27th Lindsey and Kristen did, in fact, drive out. That night we went and saw Doubt (Great movie in my opinion). On the morning of the 28th we got the tickets for Mamma Mia! and went and saw it that evening.
OMG- the best show I have ever seen...(Lion King on Bway was also awesome). Mamma Mia! is by far my favorite musical. This was an experience that words cannot describe. I just hope that I get to see it when I go to New York in May (will talk about that in a bit)
On the 29th I drove back to AZ with the girls. I stayed with Lindsey for about 5 days. Went to her godmother's house for new year's eve....and then to Kristen's at midnight to ring in the new year....
On the 4th I went to Allison's for the week. We had dinner at Grandma's, that was hilariously fun! That Friday night was Grandma's birthday party at Macayos. The entire week I was at Allison's all we really did was play Mario Cart Wii.....and board games....it was great!
I then went back to Lindsey's on that Sunday.....and we prepared to go to Tucson on the 13th.
In Tucson, I went and saw the comedian Jeff Dunham with Allison and her sister. It was great!
Came back to Gilbert that weekend. Stayed with Allison again. This past Sunday we went to RAGE fest (An all day concert...where several christian groups perform)....it was so much fun! We got to meet the band members (some of which were really HOT!).... Allison post those pics!!!!! I also got in some serious headbanging....... just call me "HB...Head banger" (mamma mia reference...sick I know!). The next morning we had some serious ragefest hangovers...lol
Monday I returned to campus and was reunited with Amanda! Missed her over break! Hopefully she will be my roommate in a few weeks!
Classes started today....
I had Playwriting, costuming (lecture) and History....
So far...AWESOME!
In costuming we are going to work 4 weeks on makeup effects...old age and gore (my absolute fav!). Then we get to put bullet holes on ourselves....and other prosthetics...we get to make out own! How cool is that?!!! We also have to take a piece of artwork and put recreate it on our faces using makeup techniques! After makeup we will learn basic sewing techniques. After that section we get to makes masks and puppets!!!! It sounds so cool! I am really excited!
In Playwriting, my first assignment is to write a three minute (app. 3 pages) play with these guidelines...."The worst play ever"! That is due next Tuesday. I am really anxious for this class...I am really into writing now....
History seemed overwhelming at first...reading 85 pages a week....but he said it isn't as bad as it sounds and he is a really easy teacher and gives easy tests and assignments...so yeah!
Tomorrow I have Movement and English. Normally on Wed. I have my costuming lab...but they start next week.
I am nervous about movement. The professor is very successful in the business and seems a bit intimidating...but I hear he is one of the best on campus and this his classes are amazing. So I am rather excited too...
I plan to post every day or every other day again. So, keep checking for new updates.
Hopefully this wasn't too long.... Oh, also, I have pictures (if you haven't seen them) from my break uploaded on my Myspace and Facebook....
Until we meet again...
Bon Appetit!
