I babysat 3 children on Friday and 7 children on Saturday! Both times I teamed up w/ another girl, but it was still a handful (they were all under 6)! Still, I got paid handsomely. ^_^ The youngest two were between 1-2 and the oldest was 6. Everybody was fighting over the swings on the playground, but then we got bubbles and they were hooked ( Read more... )

I got hired at Applebee's in Speedway!!! ^_^ Yay! (more specifically, it's on Crawfordsville Rd.)

I have been looking for a job like mad, and no one would hire me, because I've never had a job before. Well, this Applebee's is desperate (so if you really need a job, and you can drive to Speedway...). Lol. Anyhoo, I go to orientation on Monday.

I saw DaVinci Code last night, and I am joyous to say that I liked it much better than X-Men 3. It stayed very true to the book. I think there were only minor departures from the book, and those were instances w/ purpose. For example, there was a scene where Sophie rubs Langdon's temples because he's having a claustrophobia attack. That action ( Read more... )

Last night I went to go see X-Men 3 w/ a huge group of people-- Meghan, Scott, Kyle B, Jesse B, Kady E, Peter T, Addy and more, but those are all I can think of right now. And I ran into MT Reynolds, which was nice because I hadn't seen her in ages. ^_ ( Read more... )

Hey, Guys & Dolls was freaking amazing and if you didn't come you totally missed an awesome show!!! I wept and wept at our "circle" before the last show because of all the wonderful people I'll be leaving when I go to college. It reminded me why I joined in the first place, you know? The Saturday evening show, as usual, was the best. Let me ( Read more... )

I have just written a comparative essay/critique over Shakespeare's Macbeth and "Throne of Blood" by Akira Kurosawa for Japanese class. They were actually very interesting. Kurosawa was a director who took painstaking efforts to layer symbolism in his films. Fascinating stuff ( Read more... )

I've been pretty out and about this week...Wednesday I went out to dinner at Sapporo w/ Japanese Club. Thursday I went on a field trip to Castleton Mall w/ my Mass Media class and had lunch at Burger King; I had a madrigal concert that evening and went out to eat at O'Charley's w/ Meghan and Nikki. Friday I went to see King Lear at the IRT w/ ( Read more... )

Long time no update, right? I'm pretty thankful for how well my life seems to be going at the moment ( Read more... )

For those of my beloved friends who read this, today's post is not a self-centered, angry rant, as so many of my posts have become. Rather, it is an impassioned plea for a change in our society's thinking ( Read more... )

My dad just got in a car wreck. Go figure. The air bags didn't go off, so it may not be totalled. He lost control of his truck on I-70 E (at the N. split, if anyone knows where that is--downtown area) and hit a semi. He's not hurt. Of course the semi isn't hurt ( Read more... )
