I am a Shiny Penny
I had a migraine last night probably caused by congestion. It was so bad I threw up. I was so excited to continue the Wheel of Time, book 3 The Dragon Reborn, but I couldn’t read because my eyes hurt. I was sure I wouldn’t be able to come to work today, though I made it. No lasting effects besides getting up late this morning, big shock. These ( Read more... ) -
Bad Day, Bad Roommate
I make plans and get upset when they don’t work out. I line things up in my head, think through them, figure out what would work well for me then, maybe, express what I’m thinking to whoever else is involved.
I was supposed to move in with my boyfriend in September. We hadn’t decided if we wanted to move to a new place or move into my townhouse. ( Read more... ) -
Young Artist Programs
I am auditioning for young artists programs now. I am in a very good stage of my career that I am being hired locally and hope to get even better parts as I gain a reputation. I have a job where I can take maybe a month off during the summer to do a young artist program. I auditioned for 2 this winter. One, I knew I wouldn't get into because ( Read more... ) -
Silencing Christians: Mess with the Results
Mess with the results of this survey.
www.silencingchristians.com
It is another one of those Crazy Christian groups that really only has one platform, those crazy people are destroying our Christian Society. I like messing with them.
I'm also a Slog Tipper for Dan Savage. That made my day.

Facebook Stalking
The problem with Facebook stalking is that you don’t want to admit you were stalking. I have no compunction to contact this person in person or online. A friend, H, and I were just discussing a few people from high school.
Cut to yesterday, my friend H calls me to let me know she friended K a girl from our high school, an overly religious and ( Read more... ) -
I thought we were Miranda and Steve
There is a transition period when you are dating someone. You go from trying to show the best side of yourself so they will be attracted to you to showing the rest of yourself so they know what they are getting into. This is, frankly, new to me because none of my previous relationships lasted longer than 6 months. I am almost a year and a half ( Read more... ) -
One little two little 3x and I am going to kill you
I am having a mouse problem in my office. Unfortunate little remnants of a mouse meal are left for me where I keep my oatmeal or when my bowl isn’t washed completely out or something like that. My coat hook on my cubicle door is where I hang my morning oatmeal in a plastic Trader Joe’s bag. Somehow, the mice have figured out how to run along the ( Read more... ) -
Opera Translations
Personally, I love to do opera in English. I don't know any other language well enough that I can memorize with out memorizing the translation too. It was a great disappointment to me that Germany does all their operas in German, France does all their operas in French, and Italians in Italian. Why are we the only ones not to have Mainstream ( Read more... ) -
Maybe this time...
Most of the time I have an audition, I attempt to sing well and I leave. I don’t know what anyone thought of my singing until I get some news two weeks to four months later. I have auditioned for Washington Opera 5 times. Yes, past Tuesday was my fifth time auditioning. I was much too young and inexperienced when I auditioned the first time. I ( Read more... ) -
