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!

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!
