This morning I found out that, starting next week, my work hours have been cut back to 16 hours a week.  Then, because of some incorrect information that one of our directors told a parent, I was made to look like an asshole.  Then, I got my rejection notice from Yale.  Yippee.  Whee. Guess now I won't have to use money that I won't have to fly up ( Read more... )

So, in case you've wondered what the hell I've been up to the past month..."Hmm, whatever might Melissa be doing at this very moment, rather than attending our delightful social gathering?"...I've been getting my first 3 graduate school applications (and all of their tedious supporting materials) together to send off by the deadline, which happens ( Read more... )

I've been holed up in Chattanooga for a couple of weeks...trying to accomplish stuff...rehearsals, great plans for the future and all that...more to come on that once I've actually gotten some things submitted. Anyways, I should be back up in Knoxville for the weekend next week. See everyone soon.

Despite saying otherwise, I will be attending Sanctus tonight. Yep.

So, I will be in Knoxville for about 4 hours today, then I have to run home to get some sleep before I get up obnoxiously early Saturday morning and go with my mom down to the Stone Mt. Highland Games outside of Atlanta so that she can play her harp with people. These particular games are a little bit boring, unless I happen to run into people I ( Read more... )

My momma gave me a pirate Hello Kitty.  She is very much like the one I saw at DragonCon, only she's not 7 feet tall with a man inside.  She's gonna come sing karaoke tonight.  Happy Birthday to me!

So, Friday night was entertaining. I received "Best Supporting Actress" in the Circle Series for "The Underpants." It was the first award of the night, and I presented not long afterwards, so I sat through a lot of ceremony. Later, I went out with several people, danced sweatily in my formalwear at a new club, watched two of my friends compete ( Read more... )

The Chattanooga Theater Center's annual awards, the Miss Annies, are tonight. I am up for "Best Supporting Actress" and "Best Lead Actress" for the Circle Theater. I am also presenting "Best Supporting Actor" for the Mainstage Theater. I will be wearing my red halter dress with the roses and my fake latina hair. Mwaha. Wish me luck! Everyone ( Read more... )

I won't be in Knoxville this weekend because there's a bat mitzvah at the temple instead of a regular service. So instead, I am about to embark on a trip to Grundy County. Why the hell would anyone do that, you ask? That would be because my friend Thad has organized this environmental awareness day up there (www.cumberlandwild.com), and I have ( Read more... )

So, it went pretty well. No major slip-ups (at least for me), and the audience was happy with it. Except for the heat. The air-conditioning had gone out during the day, and the professionals didn't show up to fix it until showtime, at which point they were told to come back the following morning. Furnace, oven, sauna...all these were applicable ( Read more... )
