Night owl

Yooooooooooo. Just got home from a crew shift at the theatre. I was supposed to be on camera, but I ended up suggestionizing and camerafying solo because there was a no-show. It was fun! I hadn't seen a main stage show in a good bit. Hoorah!

I performed on Thursday night and was in some fun scenes - Buzzer Talk Show, Spanish-Dubbed Soap Opera, Sit Stand Lean Oscar, ABC Buzzer Beatnik Poetry, and Musical Styles (Reggae, Blues, Country, Rap). I have an official new favorite game of all time: ABC Buzzer Beatnik Poetry. Oh man! That junk is crazy-fun! My mom came to the show (per usual!) and so did two friends (JM and SLW). Baller!

Well, I've been staying up way too late since this whole hospitalization thing. I gradually stay up later and later and sleep later and later. I've pretty much lost all structure to my days, but I'm going to fix it ASAP. I guess this proves that, when I have it my way, I'm a bit of a night owl. I've always thought that I was a cross between a morning person and a night owl, but someone who slumps in the afternoons. I think I prefer being up late versus going to bed early. See? I wouldn't be having this debate with myself at 1:21 a.m. if I wasn't a night owl.

I don't really feel like saying anything else. I could try to recap the entire week, but it runs together. I went to the doctor and it went pretty well, but I need to see the eye doctor and the neurologist. Umm, my roommate and I went to Willy's on Thursday for lunch, but I think I need it again tomorrow (which is now 'today').

Honestly, I just can't believe October is ending. It feels like it just started... Happy Halloween! I don't like Halloween.

25 Hours

Well, we earned an extra hour today. It would be so awesome if there were 25 hours a day. I realize I'd probably still find a way to feel as though there isn't enough time to accomplish everything, but it is so nice to get that extra hour. Too bad it only happens once a year; it ought to happen every Sunday.

Halloween just blows my mind. It seriously does. Maybe it's that I'm not very celebratory regarding holidays in general, but I just don't understand Halloween. I guess it's a socially-acceptable way to act like a child and play dress-up, but it amazes me to see how much effort people exert. It's fun when you see a clever, creative costume, but that's rare these days. It's more like people come up with a generic costume and then find out how to convey the idea with as little clothing as possible. I'm pretty glad to have not gone to anything costume-related this Halloween.

My improv show is rescheduled for Tuesday night at 8:00 p.m. Woohooo! I'm really excited about it, although I had a dream that everything under the sun went wrong during the show. I was late and missed the first half, then was doing scenes with people from work, and it was just disastrous. Thank goodness it will be awesome in real life! I also had a dream the other night that everyone was telling me my eyes were green. Hmm...

I went running Friday and today, so that's an accomplishment for me. I like exercising and all, but just haven't made the time to do it lately. I did sprints on Friday and longer distance today. I guess I feel pretty successful! I remember when I used to work out 5-7 days a week. I enjoyed it, but it's nice not to feel so obligated anymore. It's good when it fits nicely into your schedule, but not so much when it adds unnecessary stress.

It's almost bedtime. I need to get a good night's sleep so I'll be fully energized for another FUN MONDAY!!!! Last week I did really well getting good sleep, so I'm hoping to continue my new found routine.

I wanna be doooooooown

Happy Thursday!!!! Today is our work Halloween party. We are watching a movie and eating lunch from noon to 2:00 p.m. I don't know if anyone's going to dress up in costume. Supposedly there have been contests in previous years. I made a somewhat pitiful attempt to be in the holiday spirit. I have on an orange sweater and my Converse shoes that have spider webs on them. I would wear this any day, but oh well.

Last night my roommate and I went to Steak and Shake. I figured drinking dinner might be in my best interest, although there has been significant improvement on the stomach front. Perhaps it was just a week-long shenanigan.

It looks like our improv DVD is definitely out of commission, so second show, here we come! I hope I can outperform myself.

I heard something on the radio this morning about Atlanta. A new study came out saying Atlanta is the second most likely city in the nation to become infested with rats. I'm pretty excited about that; it was a good way to start my Thursday. I remember seeing a lot of rats at college...and the MARTA station.

Well, I am working from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. now. I don't know if I've lost my mind or what, but I like it so far.

Girls just wanna have fun

Too funny. Right as I started writing this, I saw my first commercial for Vampire Diaries. It looks...interesting. Boy, there is a lot of trash on TV. Maybe it's a good thing that I never got around to fulfilling my New Year's resolution of watching more TV. Maybe in 2010. Gosh, saying 2010 is weird.

I think I'm meeting my sister and her friend at Taco Mac momentarily. I love Taco Mac so much that it's ridiculous. Looking at the menu is so exciting there because almost everything looks good. I have no idea what I'm in the mood for, but I'm sure it will be easy to make up my mind when I get there.

Well, I spoke at the CF Foundation event last night and it seemed to go pretty well. It was the corporate recruitment kick-off event for the 2010 (weird!) CF walk. It was a cocktail party and was hosted at this absolutely ridiculous country club, where the houses started at $800K. That is absolutely absurd. The clubhouse was sooooo gigantic and extravagant. Anyway, I think my speech went well. I pretty much winged it, but it's not hard to wing talking about personal experience. Especially after the fool I made of myself on Tuesday...nothing would top that.

I got this Ben and Jerry's ice cream a while ago and finished it this afternoon. It was incredible. It was Coffee Heath Bar Crunch or something fabulous like that. It was magical! I'm usually a sherbet/sorbet girl, but this hit the spot.

There's a lot of talk about Halloween lately. I am anti-holidays for the most part. The hype drives me crazy, especially for Halloween. There's so much pressure to come up with a good costume and, frankly, I don't even care. Then, if you don't dress up, people think you think you're too cool to dress up. So, it's basically a lose-lose. I guess Halloween is in a week; I don't have a plan yet, so maybe I won't even have to deal with the costume-figuring-out-escapade this year.

Oh man, I just saw a commercial for Sour Patch Kids. I love me some SP children.

Anyway, time to head up to the Mac.
