I've realized in the past 2 days why I had previously believed I was so happy and together: I didn't have time to think about it before, so I simply chose a conclusion that freed my mind up to think about other things and moved on.
Now I'm not saying that I'm wrong and I'm a waste of space (a heavily contested point) but I'm afraid this free time may lead to an analysis of my life for the sake of analysis and I'll draw some depressing conclusions, just to give my brain something to work on.
Maybe I'll dedicate more brain power into coming up with logical scenarios for how I could meet George Clooney and make him fall in love with me.
Lets face it, even when I'm working, my brain isn't really being bogged down with complex thought. Putting clothes in bags and alphabetizing things does not require as much mental energy as I had previously anticipated.
What do you suppose are the odds that I will run into George Clooney in Milan in some "hilarious after the fact" accident in which he comes to my rescue? A runaway cart of bread and/or produce seems like it would factor nicely into this scenario.

Anne Maloy tours the world '07So I originally was going to be spending my birthday in Denver. Then those plans fell through.
Instead I'll be in Madrid with my mom and my sister......como?
Today my sister ((e:mk)) texts me and says "were going to Italy this summer" and I laughed and then puked. (I was hungover. Puking is not my usual response to my sister's text messages)
Anyway, so I go home this afternoon to discover that (e:mk) is serious. My mom really wants to go to Europe. So instead of doing all the things I SHOULD have done this afternoon, I sat in my kitchen with my mom and sister and booked flights. We're not an impulsive family, yet here we are spending tons of money to go to Europe just because we want to. We each named places we wanted to go. I wanted to go to Ireland and Spain, (e:mk) wanted to go to France and and Italy and my mom wanted to go to Italy Spain and Ireland. After debate and ticket pricing we opted for:
Flying into London, then flying to Milan, spending a couple days there, and then flying to Madrid on July 3rd (meaning July 4th I will be in Madrid!!!!!!) spending a few days in Madrid and then flying back to London for the night, seeing a show and staying in a real hotel. AMAZING!!!!
I'm so excited I can't take it.
Sidenote, as I discovered a long time ago, its waaaaaaay cheaper to fly out of toronto to london then taking easyjet to other countries.
OMG!!! Yay!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!

We're men.... we're men in tights..So there is yet another Robin Hood series, this time on BBC america.
I swear there's been like 10 mini series, 2 televsion series and like 15 movies. in each one, robin gets more badass and maid marian either is a total slut or is equally butch as robin hood.
there's a show on BBC America right now in which every time they show this woman she and her husband are ordering things at restaurants and when asked what she wants, she screams "I WANT A FUCKING BABY!"

Tooting my own hornI like bragging when I do things well that I know that I worked hard for and earned it...
so I'm bragging about the fact that I've officially lost 15.2 pounds since January 16. I'm proud of myself and I wanted to share it with lots of people.
WeightWatchers is sweet yo. Only a few more months til summer! Maybe I'll buy a bathing suit for the first time since middle school....then again maybe not...

It's oooooooverSo my show closed yesterday. I was really emotional about it. I'm a big loser.
So far I'm all good with the "what do i do now"? considering its been 1 day. But since I have almost nothing to do except school and work I anticipate in a couple weeks going totally nuts. The longest stretch of time I've had between shows since January 2006 was 2 1/2 weeks. Those were the most boring 2 1/2 weeks i can ever remember. I don't know what to do when I'm not working on a show. What do normal people do?

Well if you can't get clooney you can always get Taylor Hicks and put him on an exercise regime and there you go. But if you really want cloony here is what you do. Get cast as an extra and do that for some time. Then find out about a project he is working on and make sure you are an extra on the set or in a scene he is in on the project. The trick is that you have to do something that makes him come to you. I have heard he is a preaty down to earth kinda guy. I at least got you on the right path, now you can go follow your dreams.
i think you should dedicate your brain power to planning two sweeeeeeeeeeet vacations, one to milan and madrid, and one to new york city.
downtime can be bad. i discovered that last year working in the office, which, as you know as well as i do, can be pretty freakin boring. i think the most interesting thing that ever happened while we were there was eating delicious donuts. however that's not a good thing either! anyways you aren't a waste of space you freakin loser. you rock my world. i wonder where that expression came from.
