back on estrip. I must've missed or deleted my confirmation to change my email address so i was out of commission for a few days.
any tick, here I am. If only I had anything interesting to post about.
Friday night my cousins aged 8 and 10 came over to watch High School Musical 2. Having only seen part of High School Musical 1, i didn't really care. And it was awful. The singing was TERRIBLE. Ok not everyone. They sounded so canned and studio-ified I couldn't handle it. Even still I could tell who was good and who was bad. Vaness Hudgens or whatever her name is should never sing or really act again. Her career is over after this franchise goes the way of many other teen star vehicles.
yeeeees. then saturday night I did nothing. I went to bed at like 10. Im basically the coolest person I know.
wooohooo!!!

keey teeSo I got a cat. His name is Oscar. He's about 6 months old (they aren't really sure). He has tuxedo markings which means he's almost all black except for a white belly, chest and paws (like he's wearing a tux jacket).
right now he's on my bed bathing himself. he's so cute. He has his first vet visit tonight after I leave work, I'm sure he'll LOVE it.
I adopted him from the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter. There's really no particular reason I chose the animal shelter over the SPCA or the Humane society except that the animal shelter is closest to my apartment and the adoption fee is lower. Granted, he's not fixed and all the animals at the SPCA are.
I'm pretty sure the guy behind the desk at the shelter thought I was cute. Which I really don't understand why, I looked like total crap. I think he liked me because cats over 4 months are supposed to be $30 and Oscar was only $20, the deposit to ensure you get them fixed (according to the website) is $75 and I only gave $50 and he did something else too but I wont mention it in here for fear he get in trouble.
I recommend the animal shelter if you are interested in a kitty. Oscar is a sweetie pie. see?:
the baybay
lounging on the bed before mommy goes to work.
(e:mk) is allergic to cats. But she's just about as allergic to cats as she is to dogs and we've had dogs our entire lives. basically our solution is that Oscar isn't allowed in her room. It seems to be working out ok, she doesn't seem bothered by his dander. I wipe him with these cat wipes that he haaaates, but i gotta do it.
He jumps up at like every little noise inside and out. he keeps pouncing on my hands as I type. Ok enough about the keeeten. he's so cute!!!

It's funny - when I was a young teenager, I'd get mistaken for an older teenager, but by the time I was and older teen, people thought I was younger than I was.
Now I'm not college-age anymore, but I'm back in classes with kids about 8-10 years younger than I am, and they have no clue that I am so much older. One of my TAs nearly fell over when he found out I was older than he was. Yet I'm never carded at bars or grocery stores... maybe I just don't look like the type to try to get away with something illegal.
I guess it pays to look younger than you really are - I figure I'll really appreciate it when I am 40 and can still maybe pass for 30.

I wonder if he was hoping you would say something like "well I could pretend if that would make you feel better ya wanna see me in my private school uniform". Or maybe he thought that if you where in HS that you had a hot mom around his age. But that being said often telling a lady's age is very tough some 16 year olds look 28 and vice versa.

hmm.. it looks like a chat-up line, unless ofcourse you wrecked the building plumbing with something high-schooly.

always tiredOk why am I ALWAYS tired.
I just put my head down on my desk for about a minute and dozed off. What? It's 2:30!
Oy. My shoes are too big. I'm not sure what to do about this. I know there are inserts you can get to make them fit more snugly but I'm not sure where to get them. I used to use them when on wardrobe crew at the park, but they were always provided for us.
I've been typing the same document for almost 2 hours. Looong explanation short: Once in awhile we get a document that requests that we admit certain things about certain documents, and we have to respond. We have to retype each request for admission which is 1 long sentance, and then leave a space for a response. There are 270 requests in this document. I started yesterday off and on, and have been doing a couple here and there all day, I'm only up to 206.
So I went to school and got my degree in Theatre. Now I'm a legal secretary...yes the correlation is apparent to me as well...? I feel like I should be disappointed or like saddened by the fact that I'm not working in my chosen area of study; but the truth is i'm not at all. I'm totally fine with it. I have no interest in or desire to be out there stage managing. Like absolutely none at all. I still love theatre and I love seeing plays and reading them but I just don't want to stage manage right now. It's too much stress and pressure and even though I'm good at it I have no desire to do it. Probably in a couple of years I'll be interested...probably. There's always the possibility of grad school in the distant future... eh, maybe.
whooopeeee!!

You know, you're not the only theatre person I know who is doing something completely different and not regretting it. A friend of mine got her theatre degree, did stage managing for a few years, got really sick of it, and now does event planning and managing for a catering company. She still loves theatre, too, but she's perfectly happy doing something else for a job.

there's nothing like the classic fall asleep at your desk in the early afternoon. you just ate some lunch (maybe delicious kettle corn), it's probably a nice temperature in your office, you're probably in a cushy chair...oh yeah. it's nap time. feel no shame.

that was my thought at first too lilho "ah, they're just stupid magic kid books" until a my-age friend of mine said 'i dunno, they're pretty good' and I tried the first one- and I was hooked. just picked up #7 (I know I know, 24hr late!) and am looking forward to spending the afternoon in the hammock reading. But first I need a refresher since I already forgot what happened in #6.
