William and I both had to leave the house right after we discovered those two wasps in our house. When I got home, William was standing in the middle of the living room with a giant stick, one wasp dead, searching for the second. We couldn't find it, so we went to bed, thinking maybe it went out the way it came in ( Read more... )

Dear Friend-

Your bull shit is annoying. Please stop being such an ass hole. You have more control over your life than you realize, so if it's not working, change something. (Complaining more does not count.)

Sincerely-
Emily

Living in this house, with actual rooms and only one other person and too many boxes, we have been slowly expanding. All of the stuff we haven't unpacked just sits in slightly conspicuous places while the stuff we have unpacked is scattered every which way in multiple rooms. It's a terrible mess. Not a dirty mess, but a tangled up, trip you on your ( Read more... )

I feel sort detached from my life right now, from the people and things and chores. I wake up begrudgingly, but then I click over into GO! mode, and that's what I do. I get up, William leaves, I eat some breakfast, laugh at The View because it's all that's on television, unpack some small fraction of the house, clean compulsively, eat something ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I have a read through for my first paid acting gig! I am so excited. I feel like a grown up, especially since the people invited to audition were hand-picked by the playwright and director.

We went into this groovy local skate shop (that was roughly the size of our kitchenette) since he's thinking of investing in a board instead of a bike this summer. Then ( Read more... )

In an effort to find some time and space for myself amidst all the hustle, bustle, and stress of school, the show, and all the other stuff my life seems to include, I finally read Without You, Anthony Rapp's autobiography. I was very pleased that I did so, because it was exactly what I needed: something to make me laugh and cry and think about all ( Read more... )

Dear friends and neighbors,

Please do not be assholes, computers, or cars. All of these things are very annoying, and none of them are very cooperative or fun to hang out with.

I will make an exception if you are a robot, and therefore contain a computer. Spaceships (cars of the future, perhaps) are also exempt.

Sincerely (ready to go bed),

Emily...-is sick of only having one sister consistently ( Read more... )
