Every hour we spent together lives within my heart...
I really like that song.
Anywho
Summer is almost here. I can feel it everytime I step outside my front door...or my garage, really. The pool water is already warming up on it's own now, no help from the cover. It's only a matter of days before I'm oficially done with school and then it's off to LA or Vancouver. Hopefully I'll have the money by then. I'd prefer Vancouver over LA though. Since my plans of going in the winter were foiled by the horrible conditions driving over the mountains in Oregon, I've been determined to go in the summer. And I can drive down to LA anytime I want, pretty much. I've got family down there, so there's no need to rent a room. Plus, my dad told me Vancouver is at it's best in the summer. Then I've got a possible Santa Cruz trip and a wedding to attend and CRASH at the end of July. Busy summer.
My birthday is also in the summer, but I doubt I'll do anything for it since I practically won't be home for more than 10 minutes at a time. Sweet 19. There's just nothing really appealing about that. Sweet 25, or sweet 27 is what I'm really looking forward to. Don't ask me why, because I haven't the slightest clue.
Speaking of weddings, I've got another wedding to attend to in the beginning of December. In Mexico. Our dear friend Soren, or Sven as he likes to be called (something about his Viking heritage...), is finally tieing the knot. And he's going to be teaching me how to surf, which is something I've longed to do since I saw my first surfer at the age of 11. It's the reason I got into snowboarding, which is something I'm also looking forward to next January/February.
I'm also researching screenwriting. I've been going to Barnes and Noble for the past few weeks and taking notes out of every book I could find, just to get an overall idea of the process. Yeah, I'm more interested in acting out the finished product, but I'd also love to write something of my own someday in the future. My grandma asked me if I preferred acting on camera as opposed to on stage. I told her yeah. I've only done a little on camera work, some of which no one will ever lay their eyes on. and I've done a lot of stage work. Stage work can get boring really quickly, in my opinion. You do the same show over and over and over for the audience. For weeks at a time. I couldn't do it. We haven't even put on our first showing of our one act, but I'm already getting tired of hearing the same lines over and over again. Acting on camera, you do the same scene multiple times, but only once. You don't have to come back a week later and still have to work on it. Just my thoughts though. I still enjoy acting on stage, it's just not my lifes ambition.
I was just talking to a friend of mine about getting a dog. He and his fiance want to get either a Bugg (Boston Terrier+Pug) or a Puggle (Pug+Beagle), or some aquatic creature(s). If they go that route, I'm rooting for a merman. Or a Dolphin. But if they decide to go the four legged fuzzy route, I'd say go for the Puggle. However, that brings up price issues. Those little cuties cost a small fortune, to me anyways. In situations like this, I say stop by the local pound and pick out a nice little puppy. That's how we got our dogs. Jesse was found under a car with a pink bow on her neck, and Rainy was found in the sewer with the rest of his family. They turned out to be quite entertaining friends. But whatever they choose, I better be allowed to be the best aunt ever and bring treats every time I visit. (Especially for the merman...)
I'm excited about tomorrow. We are putting on our first show of 7 Menus. Both of my parents are coming. They missed my fall performance and my dad missed Monty Python. I hope they both enjoy it this time.
Well, I'm off to do something productive...Like watch my recorded shows and delete them off my DVR so my dad can record his fishing shows...Ugh. I will post another blog tomorrow night, talking about how wonderfull the one acts went.
