One Ring to Rule Them All...

Wow, it's been a while since i've blogged. A lot has happened since then... My Dad cam back from his three month business trip in Europe just in time for Christmas! My Mom and I are beyond happy to have him home. I met a wonderful guy who is probably the biggest geek that I have ever met, but that's part of why I like him. I've started to become more of a geek, I mean come on, I bought my first comic the other day. (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) I am the costume designer for the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at my college. That's a new experience that i can't wait to have. I started watching Smallville due to the fact that Superman is my favorite Superhero. I love it! I'm just about to finish season 4. I got a bunch of my hair chopped off the other day so I now have short hair.  You like?

My new hair

My brother and sister-in-law came to visit and we had a ball! It was definatly a good visit. Over this past semester I was involved with two shows at my community college. The first was "The Pillowman" by Martian McDonagh. This involved some twisted stories that involved child killings, and me playing The Little Jesus Girl and getting crucified...that was definatly really interesting! The second show was "Dark of the Moon" Which was basically Twilight with witches instead of Vampiers and a sad ending.
My band finally played a paying gig and we kicked some major butt!!

Obsession #10 Lord of the Rings.
Ladies and Gents for those of you who don't know me I have a love of this series. I read the series in the 8th grade and have been watching the movies since they started 10 years ago. (the ten year anniversary was a few weeks ago) Recently my boyfriend and I watched all three movies and I am excited to say he is more obsessed than I am with the series. During the movies he would sit there and mouth the lines and sing along with Merry and Pippin, or whoever was singing. Most girls would have found this annoying, but me? I find it friggin adorable and awesome! Now, due to my love of the series I am learning some phrases in Elvish.   Man lu vin achenitham? which means: When will we see each other again?      Gerich meleth nin. which means: You have my love.
I told ya'll I was building my geek cred.

Geronimo! Take care readers!

Two Women and a Few Weddings...

So, my father has officially left for Europe for the next three months. These next few months are gonna be tough for my Mom and I. My Mom because her husband is gone and they have never been apart for more than two weeks, and me because my Dad and I are really close. I am having trouble imagining life in this house without him and his cheezey sense of humor. I will however have my boyfriend around to pick up the cheezey humor slack that my Dad is leaving, so I won't go completely without it. Still, I miss my Dad, and can't wait for him to be home!

Obsession #9
Wedding Shows
So my Mom got me hooked on watching Say Yes to the Dress. We sit there and crtique the dresses and I beg her to not be too oppinionated when we pick out my dress and then we talk about what kind of dress I want. Now we have also started watching Four Weddings, and discuss again the aspects that we like and what I want at my wedding. Might I add that I'm only 19...

We Never Come Up With Good Ideas on the Otter!

Ever have that feeling like you've been replaced, or somewhat forgotten? I've been feeling that way a bit. When I first came home in the winter from Indiana I had realized that my "little sister" had replaced me and that weather or not i liked it, I wasn't apart of her life anymore. She had replaced me with a friend and i was no longer a member of the family. Now, I feel more forgotten then replaced. After leaving Indiana and some of my best friends, I kind of feel as if I've been forgotten. I still have a few friends whom i speak to on a regular basis, but there are some that I was so close to, that barely speak to me at all now, and it saddens me, A LOT.  I suppose I really can't help that, I try to keep in touch as much as possible, but the ball is in their court now. I try not to be bitter, or upset with them, but sometimes i just can't help it.

There is a video on You tube that has plagued my movie group, and well, I'll let it speak for itself...

My Life is a Movie

So I know I mentioned waaaaay back when that I am involved with a group of people who make full length films for fun.Well, today we are filming at my home. We are currently filming a movie called "Autumn", which is about the effects one girl's death has on many people's lives.  And we are filming in my backyard, which in the movie is the backyard of the coke addict's home. We are also in the middle of filming a five part short called "Night of the Clowns" in which we all get tortured by clowns, creepy clowns, REALLY CREEPY CLOWNS. Did I mention my freakish fear of clowns? Like I see a clown and I cry in a corner. But after a while they aren't creepy because I know the guys behind the make up. Speaking of the movie group, we just had a premiere! It was for our movie "Tower Phi", which is about a killer in a fraternity.
So let's start from the very beginning, a very good place to start.... How did I meet these wonderful people that have become my best friends? Well I'm glad you asked. I originally met them because of an audition for an Indie film for a movie called "Mach" by Mike Simek. Kevin Greene, who is our writer, director, and creator of our production company Achieving Movement, was at these auditions looking for more actors for his movies with Achieving Movement. Kevin saw my audition and wanted me to play a role in his movie 9TEEN. Kevin contacted me a few days after the audition while I was downtown with some friends. I had originally gotten a text message from a friend saying "hey this guy wants your number can I give it to him?" Before I even get the chance to tell him yes I get a text message from some kid named Kevin Greene saying "Hi, I saw you at the Mach auditions and I want you to play a role in my movie" So, I said yes, and here I am, letting them film in my backyard and watching Kevin snort powdered sugar.
Obsession #7
The O.C.
So I recently started watching The O.C. because Kevin Greene decided that I needed to study their acting and take some notes. Not only do I agree that the acting is phenomenal, but this show has become addicting!

Just Friends?

Anyone else hate it when a guy you like asks you to hang out as "just friends"? It sucks right? I had that happen today... Let me tell you it sucks!!! Especially when you know the guy likes you! AHHHHH!!!! Ok, sorry about the slight two sentence rant and scream, but it was really bugging me, and still is.... What I want to know is, is he asking me to hang out as friends and hoping it turns into a date, or does he really just want to be friends???? People confuse me!! or maybe I'm overthinking it... I tend to do that...

Obsession #6
DISNEY!!!
I know I've mentioned Disney multiple times in the past blogs, and now you really get to read how much I really do love it! To start off, I've been going to Disney once about every 2 years since I was 9 months old. I'm 19 now, you do the math... My room is themed after Tinker Bell, and if you look carefully around my house you can find all of the subtle Disney things in each room. And mind you, when I say each room I mean EVERY room in the house has something Disney related in it. Also, I know all of the words to basically EVERY Disney song! Go ahead, test me, i dare you!

I'm a what?

So I've officially started my Sophomore year of college, that's really weird for me. I finally adjusted to the fact that I'm in college and now i'm a sophomore? What is this? Well despite my non believing I'm a sophomore I've had a pretty damn good week so far. On Monday I had one class and it was Acting 1. My teacher is from the south with  of course a southern accent and she is friggin hilarious! It's nice to have a teacher with the same sense of humor as me. On our first day we got up close and personal with our classmates as we made letters with our bodies. Today we practiced different kinds of walks and learned how to breath correctly.
Now, my Psyc class is just as awesome. My teacher, whenever a student walked in late, pretended that the student walked into the wrong class before telling them they were in the right room. he cracked a lot of jokes and made fun of himself a little. I spose that is what will make the class more fun then a regular Psyc class.
Today I also went to the JC Players, which is the theater group on campus, and I got a tour of the theater department, and what was I most excited about? I got to walk on the catwalk! Even though i am afraid of heights I got up on the catwalk and looked at the stage from above, and it was fun! After the tour we all played improv games and NINJA! In which I completely dominated! I think I'm gonna be ok this semester!

Obsesion #5
Accents. I love them. I especially love them when the come from a guy. Over the years I have perfected my British accent due to my love of Harry Potter (an obsession of its own). I started by mimiking Emma Watson and continued from there and now I can say that I think it's pretty good. Recently I've been working on my Irish accent due to Damien Mcginty of The Glee Project. 

Disney and Bazinga!

So I am officially going to apply to do the Disney College Program in Florida! I would be spending a year in Florida, in Disney, working there! How AMAZING is that?!?!?!?!?! There is a possibility that I could be apart of the performances in Disney or working in one of the shops! Heck, even if I end up cleaning toilets it will be an amazing experience! Disney is a very big part of my life. My family and I go to Disney about every other year. Suffice to say we love Disney, A LOT!!

So I've decided to add an obsession to the end of every blog so this one is the fifth or sixth...ok now i have to check...................ok so its #4... that is if I counted it right...
Obsession #4 (I think)
BIG BANG THEORY! I have a love of a TV show Called Big Bang Theory which is about four scientists at a college, One of which is EXTREAMLY awkward and stubborn and set in his ways. Watching the antics of Howard, Leonard, Sheldon, and Rajh is one of the most entertaining things in the world!
