So... I haven't been updating lately, mostly because people haven't been reading. However, I think it's somewhat therapeutic to get things out there sometimes.
I feel as though my life is going in a complete circle. I won't go into GREAT detail, but it's pretty frustrating.
More in a minute...maybe...

It's been a while!
well, well.......forgive my lack of capitalization. it's one of 'those' days.
my second interview was today for a new, awesome little school off of 45. i REALLY want this job. i think i could really rock it! i miss being around kiddos. :(
nothing new. really excited for the fall-LOTS of great shows coming up, which i'm sure i'll be blogging about sooner or later.
i haven't been acting recently. i'm not sure if/when i'll continue. i really want to audition for the next show, but i need to make sure i can handle it and that it doesn't conflict with any of my amazing plans. (HELLOOOOOOOO, Mr. Mraz! (: )
so let's see. august 5th is Barcelona. i can't wait! i discovered them in march when they played with mae, person l, and tokyo at Walter's. they are the best. i'm serious. this poppy, bedroom-sounds, dirty tunes with annoying club beats stuff has GOT to GO! it's about time real talent shows its face! (It's About Time is also the title of a Barcelona song. I also recommend 'Fall Out Of Trees.') actually, just get the whole album-Absolutes.
september 5th is going to be a huge night for java jazz. Forever The Sickest Kids!!! WOW! also on the bill that night is my friends-Furthest From The Star, Betterluck, and DriverF. it's going to be amazing! the ffts guys are really looking forward to it, as am i!
september 10th. what's that day, again? oh yeah...MY BIRTHDAY!!! although 22 is nothing to write home over. my insurance doesn't even go down. boo.
september 16th-JASON MRAZ!!! 2nd row! i was online with m password for preorder and pit tickets were already GONE! i was less that thrilled, but 2nd row is excellent and it's at the pavilion, so that's even better!!!
september 18th-it's been 2 years, but my friends from Ha Ha Tonka have decided to come back to htown! can't wait! they're indie rockers with a country vibe. love them!
october 4th-rob thomas. he could sing the phone book! amazing talent, amazing lyrics!
november 14th-LUDO! back again! with.......HA HA TONKA! it's a reunion and i'm about to die of anticipation! should be an awesome night!
so....there's my run-down of cool things to come! i really should write more. twitter doesn't have enough characters for the complexity of my brain.

An Angel Among Us-Maura DeSouza
Maura went to heaven this morning. Sometime after 10am. Though I was not able to keep in touch throughout the years, I knew Maura in high school. We did a few plays together and she had an amazing voice!
I am without words. Being human, there are so many unanswered questions. Being a believer, there's so much more than this life.

update!
so...it's been over a month since i've updated.
a)because acting takes up a LOT of time!
b)i don't have many people who keep up with this
c)sometimes i just don't have the words to say
things lately have been...well...weird.
i had to quit my job. i wanted to. i was sick of the people, sick of not being heard after almost 2 years of employment, sick of being paid CRAP! i really loved the kids. that's why i took the job in the first place. i love those babies with my whole heart. i hope they never forget that.
so i've done a 180. I'm in sales and loving it so far! i still spend as much time with kids as i can, but i'm getting career-minded and this position is helping me make that decision. i feel like i would like to get involved with HR or something similar, but i'm not about to make any sudden judgements just yet. i love kids. i never stop learning from them. but maybe this is God telling me to focus and do what He wants me to do instead of just going to work to get a paycheck. (which is what the old job turned into.) we'll see...i certainly didn't go searching for this job!
theater:charlie brown has 2 more weekends (off this weekend for the strawberry festival!!! COME OUT!) we close on the 31st. :( i really expected a larger house for a great family show, but whatever... next is OZ!!! i got THE CUTEST shirt from target (i like to pronounce it as though i am french) last night!!! i'm glinda...the good! :) yay!!! it's like a vacation. i know most of my lines already and i get to be motherly. done!
shaba:my cat needs his own blog! people ask how he is before they ask how i am! most don't even get THAT far! i was cleaning a few weeks back with the screen door open and somehow, we got fleas! :( ooooh i was/am ticked!!! we thought it was allergies at first, because Shab has such loooong fur, and the vet didn't see anything. but then i saw one on the carpet and FLIPPED! so i've got powders and sprays and collars trying to kill every last pest! UH! ridiculous!
swine flu:IT'S NOT REAL!!! barbra walters was sick of talking about the crappy economy and created this conspiracy alongside ted koppel, katie couric, and george lopez. (seriously...SOMEONE has a sense of humor!) so no, not all texans have it, my northern friends. i have seen a few people wearing masks, there's a shortage of germ-x and purrel, and UIL shut down for a few weeks. haha! that's all i'm gonna say...
i got a new bed on monday!!! i lost my bed, and everything else, to the hurricane, so i got a luxury inflatable-top mattress for a while. well, shaba has back claws. enough said. a couple in JV was gracious enough to give me a queen size mattress and box spring for free! i was literally in tears on the way home! i had been on the floor for months! i slept till 1pm on tuesday! :) HUGE deal!
so i was wondering today, which is often a dangerous task for minds as large and intricate as mine, (okay, kidding!) and i've come to the realization that everything has worked out for the best since everything happened last month. (i won't get into the details)
since everything changed, i've been so much happier with life! i've got a fun and extremely financially rewarding job with potential to grow without limits, i've gotten to spend some time with Shaba and pamper him, i've had time to enjoy being with the people i love most, and i'm finding myself again. it's a good feeling. :)
on the down side, there are about 50 amazing little people i miss terribly. but i'm getting back in touch with most of them and they know i love them.
so...i'm paying the bills and then some. thank GOD!
there's something else that's been grating on my mind though...and that is...how can someone have hundreds of myspace and facebook 'friends,' all who you know on a personal level, but you don't speak or spend time together catching up on things? has our society become THAT modernized that we rely on twitter and iphones? really? because if so, i want out!
contention 1. i have my own life. i am not a celebrity-i would not appreciate that lifestyle. so...you don't need to know that i'm buying shampoo, cutting my cats' nails, then going to eat with so-and-so at such-and-such place and then going to bed at 3am. seriously!
contention 2. you can NOT sense sarcasm in a text/email/tweet/twit WHATEVER! enough said.
contention 3. i am SICK AND TIRED of people asking private questions or making comments on walls/profiles/etc. i have a voice and it works quite well. pick up a phone, moron.
so, having said that...i will continue to have a myspace and facebook to keep in touch with the 5 people who actually use it to keep in touch. i will not do that twitter crap or text you all day 'bc ur brd @ wkr!' not happening.
something caught my eye tonight that lifted my spirits. a girl i went to high school with has been battling tumors and cancer. SHSU gave her a private graduation in her hospital room and the video is on youtube. it was the most fantastic thing i've ever seen-especially on the internet. i guess there are a few good people still left in this world. God bless SHSU, God bless Maura and her family. My heart is with you all.
so...on this note? what more can YOU do to help someone today?
a)because acting takes up a LOT of time!
b)i don't have many people who keep up with this

Busy, busy, busy!!!
so i'm sitting in the dressing room for sordid lives. 2nd weekend. haven't blogged in FOREVER! i'm starvin marvin and ready to get out of this joint. but it's all good. this show has brought me some cool new friends and given me an outlet for my current life frustration.
there goes the cue for act 3. intermission passes too fast.
anyway...i got the part i wanted in charlie brown. well, i guess i would have been happy with either sally or lucy...BUT sally gets to wear PINK!!! so i'm happy with that! :) sun and mon were auditions. tues i went to les mis with some theater peeps, rehearsals began wednesday.
my life never stops!
there's so much i could write. but just in case i ever become famous, i'd like to have some type of privacy. i guess.
not that anyone reads this thing anyway.
love love love

i'm leavin on a jet plane...
...well...not really. BUT i AM going to see ludo this weekend in austin! we were planning on seeing them back-to-back in houston then austin, but we decided we needed a break. so, we're leaving tomorrow morning and coming back laaaaaaate sunday night-which i'm not exactly thrilled about, but hey, it's all good. what can i say? i love to sleep! hopefully james and i can get to go to the zoo on monday and not waste our day off together! if not, we'll probably just watch will & grace or gilmore girls or something.
so. the making of this weekend has been entirely stressful due to finances, transportation (my brakes sound like a freight train) and scheduling. it BETTER be worth it! i'm sure it will...my favorite people, one of my favorite bands, and a day off of work/rehearsals. (which, by the way, are going NO WHERE! i have NO VOICE!) i'll blog as our weekend progresses...IF i find the time!
LUDO on cribs on MTV tomorrow! 330 i think...double check tho!
i'm working on a production of 'sordid lives' at stage door inc right now. i'm not so sure how i feel about my role, but i think overcoming it is going to lead me into the direction i'd like to go. idk. maybe i'm converting to 'the dark side.' don't judge. ha. i just hope i can survive, learn my music with an actual singing voice, and maybe actually one day make a decent profit from acting. psh. we'll see.......
i'm terrible at lying about myself and my accomplishments. even I know I'm lying! haha
i've been sick since legally blonde. i got the flu that weekend, almost a month ago, and haven't been able to breath out of my nose since! i think i've become immune to the meds...seriously. and i've got a sick kid in my class and his parents won't keep him home long enough to get better! he could shoot some mean spitballs out of his nostrils, if you know what i mean. i have a weak stomach. ew. it's sick. not to mention the kid who had the 'flu' and came back after one day! PARENTS-TEACHERS NEED TO FEEL WELL, TOOOOOO! KEEP YOUR KID HOME!!!
whew. rant of the day.
i just watched ANTM 12 online since i was at rehearsal on wednesday. i gotta say-this season is alright so far. alli is stranger than i thought. i've been her myspace and deviantart friend for quite some time. she's got some wicked eyes though. thalia is great. she just needs to work it. she's a burn victim-as a baby, she pulled a hot pot of coffee onto herself. sandra...ohhhh sandra. that's all i'll say. and a *gasp* PLUS SIZE GIRL?!?! ha. she's skinny. and really pretty. and dated dale e. jr. and from houston. i think she's my friend. or at least i'll pretend.
so i need to pack. meh. tomorrow. 'it's only a dayyyyyy awayyyyy!'
