New Bird

I got a new bird today. He's adorable. Help me think of a name for him! (or her, I can't really tell yet) He's a regular green budgie, if that helps at all with names.

We ordered Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on pay-per-view tonight. I had forgotten how utterly bizarre that movie is. This time I was able to actually pay attention to the message behind it, and sort of understand some things. I guess I never really got it when I was a kid- the spoiled brat message I got, but I never really understood the competition girl til now. Anyways, back to my book! :)

It's true... I tend to cling to my relationships (maybe even after I should have let go)... I think it's because I crave connection.

Your Love Style is Storge



For you, love and friendship are almost the same thing
And your love tends to be the enduring, long lasting kind
(You've been known to still have connections with exes)
But sometimes your love is not the most passionate
Leap before you look, and you'll find that fire you crave

What's" Your Love Style?

Cinderella

This is by far my favorite play I've seen at the high school. It's so funny! The actors are amazing, especially the step family. Cinderella has a beautiful voice, too. I have a lot of fun in pit orchestra. I think the fact that we're so friggin big seems to add to the hilarity of the play. Dustin and I have a favorite line... when the fairy godmother is making the pumpkin turn into a carriage... she says, "Cinderella, LOOK!" and she says it so funny every time. Like it's the best thing since sliced bread. Ted you gotta loan me the movie so I can listen to the lyrics and see what's going on during the ball scene and stuff...
My mom brought me flowers on my birthday to the play. They're soo pretty and it was really nice of her. It helped cheer me up a bit. This morning I felt loved too because all the retirement home ladies really appreciated my help with Bingo. They're all so sweet, except this one lady kept calling Bingo out when she really didn't have it... I feel bad not giving her a prize but it's not really fair to all the other people playing so I can't let her have it. Otherwise I would though.
I think I'm losing my mind... seriously. I'm not myself at all lately. I dunno what to do about it though. I feel like I'm on this giant yoyo, being lead by a string controlled by other people. I try not to let things affect me, but they do. They shouldn't, maybe, but they do. I don't like not being in control of my emotions. I normally don't have that problem...
Well, I'm uber tired. Long long day today. Probably going to be an even longer day tomorrow. I can't wait for winter break!

Happy Birthday

As a birthday gift to myself, I am creating this blog. I already have a livejournal, a myspace, and a ujournal (which is called something else now...) but since the school blocks all of these, I think I should create a blogspot! I'm 18 now. It's... not very different than being 17.9972527473, really. My birthday this year isn't going to be very eventful. I have pit orchestra seemingly during every waking hour for the past few weeks, and the opening night is tonight. No time for family birthday or friends birthday. Oh well... I should get used to it. Every birthday after this is going to be less and less enjoyable. Childhood is officially (socially) over. *clinks glass*
