Calm before the storm!
Posted 17 years ago"Father of the Bride" had a very successful weekend. Only minimal problems occured, one being a whole card-index turning into "52 pick up" after my sister Kay slammed it down too hard.
Today's show, my entire family was there. And just my luck, allergies hit me like a red-headed stepchild. By Act 1, I was blowing and coughing something terrible. Act 2, my forehead felt like it was swelling.
Act 3, I felt almost too sick to do anything. But according to my family, they couldn't tell.
I've just gotten home from the show, am out of my sweaty costumes and into more modern, selfy clothes. I still feel terrible, but my parents were kind enough to spend their Sunday at "The Grove" with some Subway Sandwhiches. Bless them.
Whole house to myself. Should I write? Nah, I'll play Spider Solitare until my eyeballs fall out.
Next Thursday, I have to repeat the same process. And then a week after that.
"O fortunate, O Happy Day"- Mr. Banks

Showtime!
Posted 17 years ago"Father of the Bride" premieres this Thursday at 7:30pm. Seeing as nobody I know on here knows where I live, or anyone who lives nearby, I won't bother with more details.
We're far ahead of schedule, something I haven't seen in all my years of acting. Everything is going splendid (or "Like Magic!", as Mr. Massoula would say)
Once again, I play Tommy Banks, the youngest son, and it's by far the hardest but the most rewarding role I've had.
And I got my haircut JUST for the part. So it'd better be worth it.
As with every show, I gradually get so sucked in that I only feel truly at ease and relaxed when I'm inside the theater. Outside, I've been a nervous wreck. I sleep from the time I get home until I have to get ready.
And today, something very small got right to me and all the stress I'd suppressed exploded out. Not very pretty.....
If you read my last journal, to my surprise my ex replied to what I'd sent him.
"You deserved better than me"
What am I supposed to say? I never expected a reply, he said he rarely gets on Yahoo anymore.
But in other news: Lost at Sea Prt.2 is starting to pick up its pace!

It's not going to end... (bleeding heart warning)
Posted 17 years ago*Sigh* I've been single all of 2008. My boyfriend and I broke up in January.
Well, it's almost May now, and I'm still not over it.
There are times it slips my mind, sure, but then when I go to sleep all I can think about is him. It's so difficult.
Today (well, tonight, around 3am-ish), after dropping my friend off, I began to talk as if he were in the car with me. I can't really go into details, but I apologized and admitted I was a complete asshole, but I'd been so lenient with him in the past and it was crazy for him to blow me off.
The 'argument' was rather bipolar. It switched from self-pity and desperately wanting him back to blaming him for not seeing my side and how he said he knew me so well but the things he did made it seem like he didn't.
I sent him a short message on YahooMessenger that says "I never deserved anyone". Simple.
God, I was crying so hard. Even when we broke up, I sat in bed quietly with tears rolling down my cheeks. But while driving I started to scream and pound the dash, stomp by the petals, and bawl my eyes out. It was absolutely terrible.
Relationships, eh?
As Dane Cook said, "Love is like a party that everyone got invited to but you. 'Why didn't they invite me? Look at all the fun they're having!'. But when you get into that party, you're like 'Where the fuck's my jacket? I want to go!'
*Sigh*

Happy Earth Day!
Posted 17 years agoBe you liberal, conservative, or anywhere inbetween, Earth Day is the most important holiday out there.
While it's easy for Jews to denounce Christmas and Christians to denounce Kwanzaa and Chinese New Year, this is one of the few nationally recognized holidays that isn't based in theology.
And feel free to argue about this point, but saying "GLOBAL WARMING IS A MYTH" is a downright LIE. We have scientific proof that as our emissions of CO2 increase, the temperature increases and polar ice caps decrease. Saying it's a myth is only lying to yourself.
But hey, why not give some ways to conserve.
1) Drive as little as possible. Any place that can be reached by public transportation or bikes should be taken as so.
2) Turn the lights off. If you haven't seen Mythbusters, this is actually the best way to conserve electricity.
3) Eat only minimum beef. Not only does agriculture spoil the ground and water supplies, land is destroyed to make way for it. Cows are also the leading natural cause of excess CO2.
4) You can still use your AC and Heat, but don't make it sub-zero during summer and tropical in the winter. A few degrees above or below the outside temperature is sufficent.
5) Recycle, obviously.
6) Garden. It gives back to the land and acts as a sponge for C02 and water, which can then be stored in aquafers.
7) If you're going to take a 30 minute shower, do so only once a week. Every day wastes gallons of water.
8) Avoid buying individually wrapped food.
9) Reuse water bottles
10) Turn your computers, TVs, any electronic gadgets off before you go to bed or when not in use. Also, use them less.
Happy Earth Day! Which is a damn shame, since it wouldn't hurt to have it every month..

Eep! A haircut!
Posted 17 years agoTomorrow, that is!
I'm in "Father of the Bride" as Tommy Banks (Oh, I look my age, everyone says. Give me a break, this kid's 15). Since a 60's haircut isn't acceptable, I agreed to get my haircut to resemble someone in 1950.
*Sigh* But I'll miss my hair. Three years of growing it out, EVERYONE fawns on it and loves it, I've had strangers tell me they loved my hair..
Well, change doesn't hurt. I'm looking forward to it, in a way.
Measured, from root to tip, my hair is 14 inches long!

*Smashes computer*
Posted 17 years agoI hate Limewire. I always have, always will.
My friend's come down from studying at Bradley University to stay over spring break, he's staying with my friend. They're over here often, and since I have the best computer they're always on...but never on FA, I hope!
To make some CDs, they downloaded Limewire. With the songs they brought several Trojans in.
Instead of uninstalling it, they erase my hard drive!
"But now Limewire runs better"
ACH! But they deleted ALL of my dolphin material, ALL of the messages from my boyfriend, and ALL of my manuscripts and notepad ideas.
Sigh...right when I was REALLY starting to get sucked into Lost at Sea part two..
So prt.2 is going to be delayed more.
They felt pretty bad...so I have quite a nice collection of Reggae for my NEW Itunes account :)

Lost!
Posted 17 years agoWhen's it going to end? I hear they've already got another season in the works...that's insane.
Speaking of Lost, not much progress on Lost At Sea 2.
The show date is getting closer and the whole cast is tense.
On my day off, I'm supposed to rehearse at the theater from 10am-8pm. Oh joy. I don't even work that long!
So, until the play's over, I won't be writing. I'm in 'that mood' again...
Anyone up for a hug? I'm sort of sick of going to sleep every night gripping my comforter. It's like I'd fall off if I didn't hold it as tight!

Lost at Sea....part 2? (Need input)
Posted 17 years agoWell, Haitwan is, for the time being, no longer a work in progress. I'm seriously considering trashing the 16-page draft I have so far.
But I've been rereading Lost at Sea in hopes to create a writer environment again. But I fell in love with Gregory and Isthia again, even if I haven't heard from them in about two years.
I know a lot of people have too, and this is the story that changed my life, simply through a fan message.
So.....I'm proposing a Lost At Sea sequel. This time, I hope, there will be more detail, less violence and confusing conversations...and plenty more dolphin action! Hehe.
This'll pick up where the story left off last. I hope in this one, the characters will come to life more and I can make up for the sorry excuse of a story that is Lost at Sea the original.
Any comments? Should I do it?

Midwest covered in ice, 1 dead
Posted 18 years agoWell, it's been a hectic day. Mostly spent indoors. The ice isn't as bad around here, but for some odd reason, both my driveway and the alleyway behind my house are completely covered with ice, about half an inch thick.
To anyone else in the Midwest region or areas hit by these snow and ice storms, please drive carefully. And to the people affected negatively by these storms (unable to travel, power outtages, car crashes, death) my heart goes out to you.

Posted 18 years agoI mean come on, it's been over a year since I've churned anything out. The least I could do is complete the story I promised a friend, it's much shorter and isn't even dolphin related.
Things have been very hectic lately, really, but I've been slacking off more than I've been getting distracted.

Posted 18 years ago*Sigh*
Things haven't been too good for me lately. As expected, I'm going through another bout of depression, and this is the worst kind, when you don't feel necessarily sad or lonely, just like you're still yourself but a huge veil has been placed over your eyes.
And that veil shows you some disturbing things. I spent the last hour or so deciding what my funeral would be like, what I would say to people.
And with the exception of last night, things have either been bad or just dull.
Speaking of bad..yesterday I goofed and backed into a woman's new car. The scratch was as long as my fingernail and was on the back bumper, but she insited the car be repainted.
There go our insurance rates...
To all those of you I talk to online..I know I say I've had trouble talking, which is true, I just can't seem to communicate (even verbally my words come out jumbled, muffled, and slurred) and its impossible to have a conversation..but too, its just this depression spell which I hope will pass.
Last time this type of depression came, though, I considered offing myself. Those times were different though, its been about 6 months since that's happened

Posted 18 years agoI thought the days of playing tag with my bro were over. I guess not!
My bro (Kovu998) doesn't even play as fair as my real brother!
Ok, but there's no time outs or quitting here, so I'll go on.
Weird habbits-
1. I tend to slur my words and say "Pretty much" at the end of my sentances...Jimmy off of South Park, you're a theif!
2. Chewing my fingernails...manicures would be better.
3. I tilt my head to one side often, or it will roll at glacier pace throughout the day....that's mostly due to my scoliosis.
4. I rub the chipped or sharp spots on my (big, ugly) teeth...my tongue is naturally cut often
5.I crack my toes...they need it the most.
Facts-
1. I sold my first story in 3rd grade, made 25 dollars.
2. I love my boyfriend VERY much!
3. The first standing ovation I received was at age 10 after reciting the "I have a Dream Speech"
4. My favorite artist (of m/m works) is ReptileCynrik
5. My favorite artist (of f/f works) is Kovu998
6. A NEW STORY IS IN THE WORKS!
Phew...I feel better now.
Here's the next list of victims:
cetacean
Orka
AgroAntirrhopus

Posted 18 years agoWent and saw Transformers tonight. Was very nice, but the cinematography was a bit too much.
After playing cards at a nearby coffee shop, I was left alone. Not having a ride, I wandered around at 11pm looking for a payphone.
While running across our 6 lane stretch of old Route 66, I tripped while cars were speeding my way. Adrenaline pumping, I hopped up and kept running.
Needless to say, I looked around for about an hour for a payphone until I realized the Jewel Osco at the same lot as the movie theater was still open and had a payphone.
Oh well..nice adrenaline rush

Happy 4th of July!
Posted 18 years agoI hope everyone's 4th of July was a happy one! :)
Cause mine wasn't...
On July 3rd, my parents announced they would be getting a divorce, after a 19 year marriage and 25 total years of living together.
On the 4th, I did get to swim (finally) at a lake, which I finally realised how much I missed swimming, and how it makes me feel so alive. Hence, why I'd make a good dolphin trainer.
I got a small sunburn, luckily the UV index was low. I also got buried in the sand and made into a mermaid..hopefully pictures?
We didn't have as much good fireworks as last year, except we do have a bulk of bottle rockets. It got boring after a while so we stopped lighting them. My cousin and I went back into the house and started playing Perfect Dark again.
Still working on German studies (informal study, that is. I'm watching "Fokus Deutsch" and reading stories and comics written in German) so I can't guarantee I'll be adding a lot to my story.

*Yawn* Studying German like crazy (Offer inside!)
Posted 18 years agoAnyways
During my down time, I'm working on my Deutsch before the private classes start up again.
Fokus Deutsch, an older PBS show, is avaliabe on the internet and the episodes are streamed with transcripts to help you read what they say (I know its in German, but still, they're hard to understand because they speak so quick!)
Haitwan is in working order, and by now the dolphins have begun to appear within the story! Right now I'm looking for ANYONE willing to read what I have so far (10pgs worth) and give me some feedback, that keeps my writing going and stops me from writting 70 pages of pure crap! So please, if you want, contact me via email and I'll send you the story so far. Please be as critical as possible-YET HONEST!

I hate allergies
Posted 18 years agoNo, wait, let me rephrase that.
I hate when I have allergies and people decide I should go outside or near the cornfields.
Or making me run around (literally) the town because my bike's chain in busted.
I almost puked in A&W the other day.
It was 90 degree weather, and I had a bad cold mixed with my allergies.
Anyway, riding about 5 miles (in my XL blanket sized MM shirt, which is black) to the bank, I decided to go across the parking lot to A&W to buy a drink: I was delirious and confused, not to mention nauseous.
There's only one guy in line, a Mexican who can barely speak a word of English. He's taking his sweet time as I feel the bile start to rise. I wished he'd hurry up and get his food so I could buy my drink and settle my stomach.
Cashier: 12.45, please.
So...he pulls out a dollar bill!
Cashier: Sir..that's not enough
Guy: Oh, sorry.
He pulls out a ten.
Cashier: Um...that's still not enough
Guy: Really?
Cashier: No...you still owe a dollar 45, sir.
Guy: Oh
He puts a dollar on the counter and starts to count out pennies...
By that time I'm starting to gag and get out of line, rushing to the bathroom. Luckily no ones in there, and the only toilet is open for me to puke in.
I go to the sink, drink a few handfuls of water, then splash it all on my face, neck, chest, back, even on my new shirt.
But screw it. I felt better-still delirious and confused. But better.
However, those damn tree-huggers decided to put a Mega-Blow in there. Instead of getting toilet paper, I decided that leaving myself wet would be better.
I didn't care that the cashier and Mexican were staring at me as I came out. I was thirsty!

I channeled the shiman, otherwise known as Hunter S. Thompso
Posted 18 years agoEver had one of those times when you get so caught up in something you're no longer yourself?
Yesterday it happened to me.
We'd finished dinner. I was the last one inside, cleaning up. There was an ant crawling up the wall and I wanted it out.
I don't squish bugs. Never. Well, unless its accidental. Usually I'll pick them up and put them back outside. It can't be fun being an insect so killing them is only putting them out of their misery!
Well, this little ant wouldn't cooperate. Eventually, and I don't know why, but I started to talk to it, trying to coax it to getting onto my bandana.
"Eh you little pecker, I won't gish you if you'll just get over here"
Somehow Hunter S. Thompson came into my mind, and I started to talk as if I was Minnesotan, cigar wielding, and a writer with at least 40 years of drugs under my belt.
"Hey ant, ya ever killed anyone? I did, didn't like it. But I might get a second opinion from you."
...Then I squashed the ant and went outside. I'm really glad nobody saw me!

Haitwan is open for business!
Posted 18 years agoI'm happy to report that my new story "Haitwan: Dolphin Facility" is in the works and I'm at my same usual pace! I'm feeling great about this one :D It ought to be on here at least by the end of August or July, I'll try not to make everyone wait.
Returning the favor for shadowdolphin
Posted 18 years agoShadow's got a game going on that I couldn't resist trying out.
Here's what he'd do.
"1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll challenge you to try something.
3. I'll pick a colour that I associate with you.
4. I'll tell you something I like about you.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this in your journal"
Here's his reply to me!
"1. Exellent novelist
2. To Draw a dolphin
3. Grey
4. Your alover of Dolphins
5. Talking to you about your stories.
6. Dolphin
7. Are you a Real Dolphin Zoophile?
8. Your turn to try this."
My turn :) The picture should be up soon.
1. Very loyal Fan
2. Write a part 2 to your story, or at least draw out a scene
3. Dark Grey
4. Interesting, good with words
5. You talking to me about my stories
6. Dolphin!
7. Are you working on any new stories or pictures?

Es gefällt mir nicht....
Posted 18 years agoJust everything lately.
In order from least to greatest, here's the problems.
1) My graphic novel is screechin to a halt. I'm on pg.26 and I've reached my usual block between my ideas, looking for space to fill.
2) "Haitwan Facility", the working title of my story, is also halting. That's only on p.2, though, so I have plenty of time to work with that. And I could delete this paragraph's that has thrown me off.
3)My computer has so many FUCKING VIRUSES!!!!
4) My show is over. We did great...but how long can I survive without going to rehersals? That's my life now!
5) Worried about a problem with my nose. One nostril is swollen and is starting to droop, and every few weeks it will hurt on the inside. I hope its not cancer.
6) Two friends of mine (ex-friends now, sadly) have terminated their friendship. I won't go into detail, but its horrible what's happened.
7) I've broken up with (or, rather, been dumped) by my boyfriend...I still don't know what happened, exactly why he's broken up with me, why it happened so suddenly after many months of a perfect relationship after our huge fight....but that fight's been brought back up, and he's severed ties with me. He says he still loves me but can't be with me because of what I've done.
8) Old feelings are coming back. They say someone who's attempted suicide in the past has a much higher chance of committing suicide in the future than someone who just feels suicidal.
I'm scared. Scared, worried, depressed, and taking it out on myself by less sleep and horrible eating habits, the opposite of how I usually am.

Should I sue FA?
Posted 18 years agoThis is going to seem weird once the site is updated, but has anyone noticed that the message for the search being out is "The search is currently lost at sea"
And isn't my story "Lost as Sea" technically copyrighted? It says so under the name.
Hehe, I'm not one to sue, mostly because I couldn't afford a lawyer and technically FA owns the rights to my story (which I gladly gave up, I only want credit for writing it).
Oh well, I have better things to do. But that surprised me!
*peeks out of blinds*

NO NO NO NO NO!
Posted 18 years ago...
Fucking Emachines.
I finally received my copies of "Oklahoma" that we performed (yes, for the 100th birthday of the state itself)...and this cheap computer can't read DVD's.
This is, what, the 21st century? Celebrated 7 years ago, been that way for 6? We've got Ipods, palm pilots, and mp3 players so far.
Yet I'm stuck without a DVD player in my computer?
Looks like I'll do it the old fashioned way. Hook my camera to my DVD player and then import the footage into the computer.
This might take a while

I feel happy! Oh so happy!
Posted 18 years agoThat people don't commission writers. Hey, even 50 bucks wouldn't be enough for me to churn out a story, especially if they're asking for one with dogs or gryphons or snakes or rabbits...uh, anything like that.
Dragons, dolphins, and possibly mares (popular request *whistles*) are usually the topics of my stories. I'm sorry, but dogs just don't make for good material!
I haven't gotten word from the Chicago Casting places, and I noticed they took down their flyers the day after I submitted my form. It's been about 3 weeks so far.
Oh well, I'm going to swallow my pride, count my losses, move on, and...
Entertain some kids! Cmon, what can be better than that? But don't ask Steve from the first "Blues Clues", chances are he'll say "Sex, Drugs and shitty music".
*Sticks tongue in cheek*
I'm trying out for the local theater's version of "Alice in Wonderland", which is being shown exclusively to all the grade schools in town.
That's not fair, when I was their age, that theater put on "Hiroshima Taro", and these kids get Alice? Lucky...
