Crazy Life

So in case any of you have ever wondered, my blog titles usually have nothing to do with what I write about. I always pick the title of the song I'm listening to when I first start. Or, if the song if lame and retarded (like "Prelude to the afternoon of a faun") I press the skip button until I get one I like. So ya, just if you were wondering. This particular song is one I've had on my computer for a long time but I've never actually heard. It's from the Coil album by Toad the Wet Sprocket. Weird....the word sprocket reminds me of Lake Powell. Do you guys remember that giant hornet that was living in the railing? Spigot, that's what we named him. Why'd we name him that? He came out of a spigot....?? Hahaha
I haven't written a blog for a while now, and though nothing I've written about has really been that interesting, I honestly have not been able to think of anything to write about this summer. A lot of things have been happening lately though, and I'm starting to get my anxious beginning of school feeling. I forgot how much I liked that feeling. I'll be starting school again in a week and I have to admit that I'm actually very excited. Especially because I'll be living at home this time and don't have to worry so much. I'm way less nervous. Yay for the U!
But ya, like I said, a lot of things have been going on, most of which I'm excited about. I just started Freaky Fridays at Clayton, which is a halloween show at my dance studio. There's usually only a Christmas show and a spring time show, but this year Kim (the director) has decided to try out seasonal shows. Hence Freaky Fridays! It's not what I'm used to at Clayton, but I have to admit that the change is a lot of fun. It's always interesting to try something new. The show is going to be at Wheeler Farm during October and I still haven't decided whether it's supposed to be scary or not. I think the general idea at first was that it WAS supposed to be, but seeing as how it's Clayton, we haven't come anywhere close, hahaha. I get to dress up like a zombie though!! I'm so excited! The costumes are going to be like Thriller and we're each in charge of our own costumes, so I don't have to worry about it not fitting and all that jazz. I'm excited to buy something and then just totally rip and burn it to shreds. Woot!
Along with having a lot of fun at Freaky Fridays, it's also been a major wake up call to see how out of shape I've been this past year. Good grief. My thighs are still so sore from rehearsal on Wednesday that I can barely walk. Well, I can walk now, but tackling the stairs is still an event....But ya, I've been realizing that no matter how much I may hate running and things like that, they're really important and I've got all the wrong muscles all buffed up. I need to balance it out a bit. Hahaha. If that made sense
Another thing that's happened lately, or I guess, will happen soon, is my friend Natalie moving to California for the semester. I'm most definitely NOT excited for her to be gone for four months, but I can't begrudge her for choosing to go work at Disney. I seriously thought about doing that myself but I felt strongly that I should stay and graduate from college first. (When I say 'felt strongly', I don't mean inspired or anything, it just made a whole lot of sense to me to stay and finish) I'm afraid that if I went to Disney I would love it so much that I wouldn't be able to come back and just finish boring old college. But ya, I'm going to miss her a lot. She's been one of my constant friends since I was....I dunno....six or seven?? Since we met. She's been my best friend basically my whole life and I'm sad she's going away. :( But she'll come back and I'm not one for sad goodbyes and all that jazz, so I haven't been too upset about it. I can always text/email/call/facebook her and all that. Yay for technology!
Another thing lately is that I've also been considering joining the Air Force. Completely random and a half, I know! I mean, I don't really want to be in the army and have that whole never being home issue, but it's just something I've been thinking about it. I dunno, what do you guys think?
I've been looking for a job lately too. Woof. That's been interesting. I think it will be a lot easier to find a job once school starts. A lot of people will be quiting before school starts and I'm planning on taking one of their spots. I only have classes on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, so my schedules pretty open now. I would really love working somewhere like the Mayan or in a bookstore. I want to get a job at Barnes and Noble, mostly for the discount, but I actually think that would be a lot of fun. At this point though, I'll take JUST about anything. Haha.
Ya, well, I want to write more and there's been a lot more going on, but I tend to be very longwinded, so I'll stop for now. May the force be with you!! :P
