Sometimes I feel like I'm not truly wanted in my home.  Like I'm that family member that comes to visit that no one really wants there but they put up with anyway just because they're family.

I'm the designated screw up of my family.  I'm not afraid to admit that, even though I am ashamed.  It's the truth; I've been in college for almost 6 years ( Read more... )

Recently, I have felt incredibly INSPIRED.  And I know the source; The Pixar Story.  It's a special they show on Starz that's about an hour and half long or so about the story of, who'd a thunk it, Pixar Studios.  Just seeing everything they've come up with, all the stuff they've been through, and knowing that the people of this great company are ( Read more... )

You know, we are all told throughout our lives to forgive. To live and let live, to give others the benefit of the doubt and to be the bigger person. An event has occurred in my life (actually, it happened several months ago, but it still bothers me) that has tested my powers of forgiveness to its limit. I won't go into details cause it's too long ( Read more... )

Just needed to get some of my thoughts down.  Been really restless as of late.

My life has changed so much in the past year and half.  I've gotten a whole new start in school, and I love it, I've lost a great love...and possibly found another.  I lost a dear friend to her stupidity,but found better friends in those I already knew (Retta, Blicky ( Read more... )

So I was on my way to work this morning when I hear on the radio more blather about the whole Christmas PC thing.  I've known for a while that it's supposedly more PC to wish people Happy Holidays rather than Merry Christmas cause SOME people get offened cause they don't actually celebrate Christmas, but this is getting riCOCKulous...Seriously...

Well...I'm not sure what hurts more.  Not being a bridesmaid in one of my bestfriends' wedding or actually feeling as if I've lost that friend forever.  And knowing in my heart...that I brought it upon me.  I guess I should've just done what everyone else seems to have done.  I should've just sucked it up and gotten over the fact that I didn't like ( Read more... )

One of my best friends is getting married next year.  It should be a happy, exciting thing right?  Right...but it's not.  I'm not happy for her, because I think the guy she's marrying is REALLY bad for her.  He's controling, he's narrowminded, he drinks alot, and he's not sensitive toward her needs at all.  Last night, he said something to her that ( Read more... )

So yeah....had a really rough weekend -_-.  Manda got in a car accident on Thursday and ended up in the hospital till yesterday afternoon.  She's home now, but not completely  hale yet.  She has two minor contusions on her brain, so she's really groggy and her head hurts.  For a while though, on Thursday especially, I was a wreck.  The doctors even ( Read more... )

So had my SECOND day of classes today, this time with Design Fundamentals and Acting and Movement.  I was a little nervous about design, since I've never done it before.  But my professor is really cool and I finished the first assignment in class!  It was kinda neat, I just hope I did alright.  As for my Acting class, oh my GOD!  It was a blast!  ( Read more... )

So yeah, had my first class at the Art Institute.  It was observational drawing; 4 uninterupted hours of drawing bliss....or so I thought.  The entire time...and I'm not kidding, the enTIRE time, my professor did nothing but TALK.  Talked about him, his work, his jobs, his shcool, etc. etc.  I was amazed!!  I mean, we did get our first assignment, ( Read more... )
