My friend Malorie and I have recently begun making videos. We are called The Wafflettes. When the Westboro Baptist Church came to town to protest at Holocaust Museums and High School about how much God Hates Everyone - we thought it would be a great first video! SEE:

Magic.
Today I went to another park and it was covered in knitted pom poms! I came to this park on a whim and had no idea it looked like this. It was so, so, so pretty and fun. I thought it fantastically awesome that I had decided to bring my own knitting with me today without knowing I would find this. Thanks Knitting Gang of RVA!
To learn more about Knitting Gangs (specifically Knitta,Please) look here and click on some of the birds. I will warn you that the home page is quit bright and flashes different colors very quickly - if you think this will give you a seizure or scare you then don't go! (It's crazy) <3!

Dark Cabaret.
Earlier today I was meandering about online - just looking up random things - and I came across this amazing British comedy singing group with a satirical cabaret act that began in the '80's and still goes on today!
They are called Fascinating Aida. And they are fabulous.

This kid is pretty bad ass.
Check out this adorably precocious ten year old step it up for gay rights.
...and I lost my temper and said, "Ma'am, with all due respect, you can go jump off a bridge."

I am in a relationship, and its complicated.
I am in a relationship, and it's complicated.
I am in a relationship with the Olive Garden on West Broad Street, and it is highly dysfunctional and sadly co-dependent.
If OG were a person, I would have gotten ride of them by now.
It drains me. OG is not my passion, but it takes up so much of my time.
I stay for the money. I'm like a whore getting fucked by a corporation.
I see people work 10 hours or more and not be given a break. Not a chance to sit down or to eat.
I have guests who take pride in making me feel below them.
I stay because it's safe.
Sometimes management can be so, so, SO nice. And for a moment, yes, we feel "like family." And it doesn't seem so bad. And I have fun with the guests...
but then days like today come, and I realize that the nice is like the kind of nice that comes after a husband beats up his wife and says oooh baby I'm so sorry, I never meant to, I love you. I just love you. And it entices you to stay. And you stay and your happiness and life dry up. Your passion leaves you. Your excitement leaves you, and you live for safety and the only thing giving you life is the drama of it all. Nothing else exists for you in life because, along with being dysfunctional and abusive, it is also very controlling. OG must be number one!
OG is stealing my dreams and robbing me of my youth!
and. I. STAY.
I keep telling myself - oh by June you'll have a vacation check and a degree, and then you can peace out. A little more than three months.
UGH.

My oh my wow oh wow.
Well, the time has come to hunker down and focus on reality again. It is March first, and I spent the entirety of last month living in La La Land daydreaming about acting, graduating, and moving to LA. (All as a result of spending the first week of February in LA...or...LA LA Land.) Now - a little day dreaming is healthy and fine, but I have literally wasted countless hours on LA Craigslist looking at apartments and jobs and the like. Which - I still maintain is NOT entirely a waste, but - I've really been neglecting the present with all of this future tripping.
It sort of reminds me of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. I feel as though I've been focusing on the top needs while neglecting the bottom and most basic.
I need to graduate.
I need to pay my bills.
I'm glad I allowed myself to future trip and daydream so ferociously this past month.
But I only have three months left here.
And I have so much to do. So much here and now that needs my attention and focus.
So - this is my goal for March.
Yes, I have a lot of goals. Yes I have a lot of cover letters that I am dying to send out to LA NOW. Yes, I have so many ideas and projects and dreams.
AND YES I HAVE A THEATRE HISTORY PAPER THAT NEEDS WRITING RIGHT NOW AND TWO MONOLOGUES THAT NEED WORKING BEFORE CLASS TOMORROW MORNING, SO PEACE YA'LL!
