I have decided,

that technical theater sucks majorly.

In spite of the fact that ya know, nothing is explained & there are contradictions between the syllabus and what my teacher says. On top of the fact that he doesn't inform us very well as far as what the junk we're supposed to be doing. And on top of the fact that we cannot do homework while this stupid Opera is sucking up 4 hours of my life every night.

I am now a Humanities & Photography cluster. :)

The Muppets

That is who I am paying homage to in this blog post. My one rock in this changing world! Haha

But seriously. If ever I need a pick-me-up, I resort to Muppet movies. Today I'm watching A Muppet Family Christmas & missing my family more than anything.

And in this Muppet special lies one of my favorite songs of all time.

It's in every one of us
To be wise
Find your heart
Open up both your eyes
We can all know everything
Without ever knowing why

It's in every one of us
By and by

It's in every one of us
To be wise
Find your heart
Open up both your eyes
We can all know everything
Without ever knowing why

It's in every one of us
By and by

Friends are lifesavers

I don't think I coulda gotten through this Thanksgiving week without the amazing friends who took me under their wings & took care of me.

That's what I'm grateful for this Thanksgiving. My family away from my family =)

I love nights like this...

I may end up eating my words by the end of next month, but I truly do love watching the snow fall at night, catching the light of the street lamps.

Not the fat, chunky blizzard snow that falls in your face and blinds you but the soft, white whispys that fall gently & make you wanna twirl around & around under the sky with your arms above your head.

I came out of doing the Opera tonight in a fairly decent mood but seeing the light snowflakes falling softly made me smile. I drove home, got out of the car and turned up Mannheim Steamroller's The Holy & the Ivy as I laid down on the roof of my car and just soaked in the moment.

I feel recently that not enough people take a moment out of their incredibly busy days to just enjoy a simple thing like a snowfall. As I walked back into my apartment I took a moment and just stood their and watched the snow again. I love peaceful nights like this. It's at those moments when everything is quiet, that I feel the happiest.

The only thing that was really missing was just someone to share it with.

Blessings, blessings, blessings!

So I should be in bed right now. I have a class in less then 7 hours. But I'm not even a little bit tired!

After watching National Lampoon's Christmas vacation at my favorite guy's apartment, I can't help but remember all of the blessings that Heavenly Father has given me. Kind of a funny thing to think about, especially after a Chevy Chase movie, but I think with the mixture of the holidays, family & amazing friends that I have, I've come to realize how ungrateful I've been.

Not that I never thank Heavenly Father for anything. I thank Him for many things in my prayers every night! But I do think it extends to our attitudes just as much as verbally expressing our thanks, you know? My attitude has been such a bad one lately that it could easily be seen as being ungrateful. Which I really need to work on... and honestly the things that put me in a foul mood are things that, in all honesty, are not that big of a deal at all!

Sure I complain about this stupid Opera that I'm being forced to do, the fact that I feel lonely on Friday nights and how I wish I could be in a warmer climate, but really, there are so many good things that are going well in my life right now that I rarely, if ever, talk about here.

I mean, I'm healthy. No more fainting spells (which I'm a little sad about, because they're great power naps! haha) I have a fantastic teacher that I TA for who is more than incredibly understanding, I have amazing friends (both guys & girls) that I can literally count on being there for me whenever I need them. I have outstanding roommates that try to include me in everything that's going on & somehow make me smile even when I feel like crying. I have the best guy friends in the world who drop everything to give me blessings at the moment I tell them I need one. I have a stellar screenwriting professor who encourages me to better myself in my writing and tells me that I can shoot for the stars. I have the best Bishopric a college student could ever ask for. I have an incredible family who help me with anything I may be struggling with. And more importantly, I have a loving Heavenly Father who watches over me & directs my steps on the path that I'm going on.

That being said, I think it's safe to assume that I have a lot to be thankful for.

All in all, let me just close in saying that I'm sorry if I've been coming off as an ungrateful, spoiled, brat. I've discovered that the more I serve others, the happier I get, and the more I realize exactly how blessed I am.

This is the only thing getting me through this week

Yes, I am a total nerd. But you have to have your occasional dosage of brain heroin at some point. Better this than Twilight right? I'll post the epicness that is the movie trailer shortly.





And yes, I do still have a fatty crush on Draco Malfoy.

You may be awesome at what you do but,

your people skills SUCK MAJOR BALLS.

Ya know, I'm 21. Twenty FREAKING one years old. Don't treat me like a mentally challenged eight year old when I walk into your office and ask you for ONE THING to rent from the costume shop.

I freaking despise people who try to make my life more difficult when it really shouldn't be. Yeah, I get that you're amazing at designing costumes & crap, but your people skills are revolting. Maybe THAT'S why you decide to work with fabric rather than with other individuals. How bout you stick to that hmmm? Because you obviously have no idea how to talk to another person without being incredibly rude. You come off as being a heinous wi-atch from the get go.

So the next time you treat me like an idiot I swear on everything holy I will go off on you & not feel sorry about it at all. I don't care how many years you've taught in the theater department. Get whatever is up your butt & causing you to have a hernia out or I'll do it for you.

People in this major take themselves far too seriously.... and I'll be happy to take you down about fifteen notches :)

Untitled Piece of Crap

I see the sunset in your eyes
Tears of color when you cry
I feel the ocean on your skin
Waves of goosebumps from within

And I want to steal your attention
And I want to rob your affection



Only a few lines but yeah it kinda sucks. But leave your criticism anywhere you please. Just be gentle, it's my first time haha

Maybe I should listen to sappy break up songs more often...

There's one song (the only decent song I believe) on Taylor Swift's new album called Last Kiss that I've listened to that I actually like.

But even more than that, there's something about it that has kinda led me to attempt to write some songs. I am definitely not a proficient especially in the art of lyric and song writing but I do believe I've found some sort of Muse. I'll put a few of the lyrics up but please be gentle, it's my first time :)

(Nick I'm counting on you as a fellow creative writer to be brutally honest!)

Actually I'm too much of a chicken. I think they're incredibly corny so uh... false alarm! haha Maybe I'll put them up later on today.... I'm such a pansy!
