LET'S HEAR IT FOR NEW YORK

In New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
There's nothing you can’t do,
Now you're in New York!!!
These streets will make you feel brand new,
Big lights will inspire you,
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York

Welcome to the bright light..

Seriously the song of my life right now

most resourceful christmas ever.

So this year - like many others - I am incredibly broke this holiday season. BUT the other night I had the most fabulous idea!

This year, I am making my family cloth bags out of recycled fabric to use at the store instead of plastic because it is more environmentally friendly. The layout and basic design of each bag is identical, however, the decor on each will be different and personalized with quotes, flowers, pictures, and other pretty things!

I'm also going to give them a ton of baked goods, and will possibly make each person a small recipe book for food or drinks I think they may enjoy. I may also make them personalized horoscope charts.

I think I'm also gonna make them another little booklet with tips and things about how to be more green/why the cloth bags I am giving them are awesome!

What are you doing to save money, but not skimp on Christmas?

the night that God kissed me.

Tonight I feel incredibly lucky. Incredibly blessed. The world seems limitless, even though I know it isn't. I have so much that I am looking forward to, and things seem to be falling into place. I know there is much work that I need to do. There always is, but somehow, tonight, it doesn't seem daunting, or intimidating, or impossible. Everything seems beautiful. I know where I want to go in life. I know the things I want. I want to see the world. I want to touch the world in a massive way. I love the world, and the universe, and everyone that lives in it. I want to travel. I want to write. I want to act, and live and breathe theatre and film. I want to spin around and dance and sing and rejoice in the universe...in the world...for what it is. I am so lucky. I am so blessed. And as crazy as it may sound, somehow I feel as though I was kissed by God tonight. I've never been very religious...but something out there is holding me and loving me and watching me, I am am eternally grateful.

but I know, too, that "This, too, shall pass," as everything, good, bad, ugly, beautiful, lovely,or terrible eventually does.

but tonight, I am rejoicing in life, and love, and all of its endless cycles.

tonight I was allowed to daydream, and I finally saw, for the first time, truly and fully what I want to be. What I want in life, and how beautiful everything is.

I love you. All. Everyone. Everything. and I am forever grateful that you have graced me with your presence, no matter how great or small, how transformational or how insignificant it may appear to be...because its not. nothing is insignificant. nothing is small. you are a great being with great power who is fantastically special and wonderful and beautiful and you may not even know it. but you are. don't change. everything that ever was loves you. and you should, too.

madness.

Exam week is kicking my ass. I have:

- a 10 page theatre history paper, which was assigned to us one week before the due date.
-to create a "Career Action Packet" and presentation for business of theatre. (This entails cover letters, a website design, and a million million other things.)
-write a paper for Acting for the Camera/study for this final
-write an essay for bio 101/study for the exam this friday and the final on wednesday

-OH and make up about 30 hours of work in the theatre's costume storage, BUT the up side to this is that I was given the master key to the shop so my 30 hours of work will actually consist of about 20 hours of dress up!

also - I am getting head shots done on friday.

and finally - IAMABOUTTOEXPLODECHRISTMAS!
