A pocket full of Change.

 I find it simply fascinating that I can sit down and write an entire blog at least a page or two in length only to reread it and decide to erase it entirely.  I do this for a few reasons: sometimes the blog is just stupid/only consists of me whining/gossipping/complaining (which is synonymous with whining, I know)/having an emotional breakdown (which, let's be honest... blogs are not the place to have those... that's what friends are for) OR I feel like the worlds biggest prat.  For instance, this last blog I just erased... I felt like I was some British anthropologist discussing change and it's effect on me and my all grown up life... blah blah blah.  I was so boring!  

So here's to this blog in hopes that it's a hell of alot more interesting and quite frankly not a bunch of hoity toity balogna.  

Welcome, nice seeing you again.  Been awhile.  Roughly five weeks actually.  Last time I was here I was having a bit of an issue.  And of course I was being passive aggressive about it and trying to subtly hint at it without really saying what I meant-best communication skills ever.  Which for the record didn't work- at all- because they were pretty darn subtle and pretty awful hints.  So I had to grab life by the balls and make a decision and be assertive.  Which in the end worked out amazingly well.  

So let me rant a little about what's gone down in the past few weeks (and because I love lists... that is what you get): 

1) The issue that got settled was me telling the guy I liked that I liked him.  The whole thing is one funny story and maybe I'll share it with you one day... but that day is not today.  So, like I said above.  It worked out well, because we're dating now.  Exclusively.  Meaning he's my boyfriend (Hi Michael ^_^).  We've almost been together for a month now, which is kind of weird because it definitely feels like it was last week... lol.  But I am very happy about this.  Extremely happy actually.  And even though I'm going to miss him over the summer while he's away... I'm still happy.  :)  (Speaking of which, Michael, feel free to call/text me when you're done reading this... lol)  He's kind of  (no kind of, he just is) awesome and I'm super lucky and blessed he's decided to give me a chance. :D

2)  I finished my final play in Salomon Theatre at PLNU.  No Exit.  If you didn't see it... well you missed out for sure.  Mainly just because I think it was one of the most challenging roles ever.  I played an evil person... well she was a very selfish manipulative bitchy person at least.  Also, pause, how the show came together like it did I will never know.  I technically was barely off book the week before we ran it... and the dress rehearsal?  Yeah I skipped a full page or two of dialogue.  And yet... somehow.. it pulled together and we kicked some major butt.  So anyway... my character was evil.  And my mother (who saw it almost every night- thanks Mommy) said that one of the nights during the final scene where my costar picks up a knife a girl behind her started whispering 'stab her, stab her!' (the 'her' being me) And I just think that is one of the coolest things ever.  Which may sound odd.. but to know I played a character well enough to get an audience member wanting to stab me... well, I think I did pretty well indeed.  And it was just a whole lot of fun in the end. (the beginning and middle not so much though... haha).

3) I graduated?  Yeah, I graduated.  Technically I'm officially waiting on my Calculus grade before I can be completely gung-ho but as long as I get a D- or higher I am in the clear!!! I had so many people come down to support me and I can't thank each and everyone of them enough.  As awkward as I got sometimes with all the attention I still appreciated all the effort and time everyone took to make my graduation day a thousand, nay a billion, times better than my high school graduation.  I am so grateful to you all.  

4) I'm on a plane tomorrow flying to Orlando Florida with my Mom, Dad, and Daniel.  We're going to be hitting up DisneyWorld and Harry Potter Land (which is actually Universal Studios and AdventureLand but ever since Harry Potter Land opened.. That's really all I call it.  For obvious reasons).  And then we fly down to Cancun.  So.. lot's of sun.  Even more sunblock and all the pina coladas I can drink- within reason of course.  

5) Random things I want to touch on really quickly: 

     -Those of you who haven't heard.. I sprained my ankle two weeks-ish ago... now that you have heard... I'm doing much better.  It was a fun experience to say the least, but here comes another giant thank you to those special few of you who took extra good care of me in my gimp-like state.  You all know who you are (yes, that includes you Mom).  So Thank You!!!  

      -I've been trying to lose weight since the start of the semester... that's a lie.. I'm always trying to lose weight...since I can remember at least. haha. but this year I actually made a real effort... and it's paid off.  I've lost 18% of what I used to weigh.  I'm not down to my goal size just yet... but I'm not about to stop now.  So that's super exciting!!! 

      -I'm planning on staying in San Diego.  More information on that to follow considering it's sort of tentative... :D 

      -Pinterest is seriously one of my favorite websites ever.

      -The Avengers movie was bloody fantastic.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but I can't remember it for the life of me.  With that said: Thanks for reading and I'll catch you the next time around-which hopefully will be sooner than five weeks from now... but no promises.  ;)
