About Me

I know that I haven't posted here in a while and I apologize mainly because college has been completely stressful these last three months or so and I have barely had time to breathe let alone type something unrelated to school. However I recieved 3 A's and one B in  my four classes so I guess all of the stress and work payed off in the end.

Anyways, I have been thinking and I believe that I may as well give a formal introduction about who I am and why I have suddenly had an urge to start blogging. 

My name is unimportant unless I know you personally or like talking to you. However, I am a hopeful actress/voice actress/writer despite the fact that those career choices are some of the most difficult to break into and not many people give me support. I graduated high school in 2009 which makes me 20 years of age although I get mistaken for a 12 year old all of the time for some reason, possibly due to me being only 5 feet tall. At the moment I am stuck living in a small town which has the same name as a psychiatric hospital in New York. Overall nothing extremely exciting ever really happens here. The  location is hardly ever even shown on a global map.

I go to a college a few miles from this town where the people who actually want to learn and get a degree and do something with it are few and far between. In fact, I will more than likely be blogging about these sad souls until the time I get my degree which is hopefully going to be some time next year. Nevertheless I have been fortunate enough to meet some really awesome people at college as well and because of them I have not gone completely insane yet. =P

Personally I have an issue trusting people. I am somewhat close to my family and because I sometimes have a hard time speaking to others, have a "happy-smiley" personality, or how I act like I always just drank 50 energy drinks, certain people find me rather 'odd' which I'm not sure is a good or bad thing. But I am sincerely grateful for the select few friends that I do have and when I say 'select few' I mean 5% of my 80 something facebook friends hang out with me- living out of the area is an exception to this. But I am completely ok with having acquantances for I do like most people, some are just more relatable than others.

As for the things I enjoy? Well I could probably go on forever about a hundred different things and I am guessing I like something that's on your list as well as long as it's not something like "robbing convenience stores with my homies." 0_o But I do love theatre and musicals. Whenever I have the time I'll usually go see a show around my area just to get ideas on how I can improve my acting technique and what not. I think that great maniacal laughter deserves recognition and I also have an odd tendency to talk to people in old Shakespearian english or a British accent whenever I get bored. I really like learning about history and literature and I am one of those people who does read the classics like Northanger Abbey and understands what's going on. Furthermore I am an insomniac, a type 1 diabetic, and I am terrible at cooking but great at baking. Apparently baking powder is not a reasonable substitute for baking soda...


I swear that I have seen the movie Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street about a thousand times. I absolutely love movies, especially the classics that came out in the 1900's such as Gone With the Wind, Night of the Living Dead, and The Wizard of Oz and usually if a television show has an interesting plot or is recommended to me I will watch it. Currently I'm loving Person of Interest and Criminal Minds although M*A*S*H is one of my favorites as well.

Some of my favorite "famous" role models include Helena Bonham Carter, Judy Garland, J.K. Rowling, Keira Knightley, Jane Austen, Marla Schaffel, Jenn Gambatese, Alison Bruce, Lisa See, Carrie Preston, Kate Higgins, Michelle Ruff, Hugh Laurie, Michael Emerson, Genghis Khan, and Augustus Octavian Caesar. However I do not aspire to be them, I just really admire their work. In the real world my role models were my grandfather and grandmother but they have sadly passed on. I really just want to be my own person and wish not be modeled after someone else because that's just sad.

I listen to a lot of music and I constantly have some song in my head but Vienna Teng, The Corrs, Rachael Lampa, Anuna, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Sirenia, Lyriel, The Beatles, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Phil Collins, and Hayley Westenra have to be my all time favorite artists and bands even though none of them are really even close to the same genre.

To answer the question as to why I started blogging? Complete boredom. I would like people to think that I have something to say through my writing and I like to think that I'm great but I am aware of the fact that I am not as important as I think I am. I am human just like everyone else.
Additionally I would just like to point out that YES RAINBOW IS ONE COLOR AND UNICORNS ARE REAL!!!

So if anything I said somewhat relates to you or you just want to follow me for fun please don't hesitate! I promise I don't bite or store skulls in my refrigerator. But to clarify things a little, I will not tolerate idiots. I will respect you regardless of your gender, your religion, your sexual orientation, or your occupation, but if you're an idiot you're and idiot and I will not tolerate you.

Why Is It So Hard For People To Write And Type Correctly?

Seriously why? Unless you are dyslexic you have absolutely no business typing or writing 'lyk dis.' I know so many people who keep typing like that and frankly it is getting on my nerves. How hard is it to add an a to 'that.' THT is not a word. Neither is the letter N. Anyone who types like this needs to stop it right now. It just makes you sound like an idiot.


I'm not saying that I don't make spelling and grammar mistakes, heck I probably just made a grammar mistake in the last paragraph but that doesn't make me a spelling/grammar nazi if another person tends to spell something wrong or put a comma out of place. I just wanted to point out that being illiterate is not cool and because of the random things I have read on facebook,other websites, and even in school in the past, I am going to use the above ^ post to state all of the stupid things people say when they are trying to type gangsta or sound cool. I will also be stating my opinion on all of these idiotic sentences- if you can even call them that. So unless you wish to be a part of this, please quit typin lyk diz 4 iz not kewl!

Sick of People

I am so sick of people. Actually its not the people I am sick of but more likely how people can BE.

No one seems to care about my opinion. Ever, maybe they are just caught up in their own little world and because Im short they find myself not as important as others. No one ever technically listens to me.

During play practice yesterday we all got split up into acts 3,4,and 5 of Hamlet. Me, thinking I would possibly get Ophelia's crazy scene because heck, I'm crazy and I like crazy people. But no. I realized that my life really sucks. I am never Ophelia.I am never Gertrude. I am Laertes, soldier number 3 and Rosencrantz. . Needless to say I'm kind of sad. I'm sad just writing this.

I know that in the life of theatre you cant always get the roles you so desire but this is ridiculous. I was in this play LONG before everyone else and even went to all the stupid breathing exercise workshops and since day one I stated that I wished and hoped and dreamed of being Ophelia. I get her brain yo! But because older children (out of college) are older I get stuck being soldier number 3. 


I also found out today that I am apparently not funny. I had all subs today in school and in choir class I got really bored so me and two of my friends played hangman(my idea.) The whole class then joined in (atleast those who weren't at the band festival with my teacher) and one jerk of a kid wrote on the bored THE SUB IS A JOKE (as the sub was watching). After that it was my turn so I wrote that the kid who wrote that was also a joke and nobody found that funny, because really, why would they? I'm defending the sub! Then another boy writes on the board in hangman formation that I am emo which is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. I wouldn't even know how to be emo if I tried! 

This morning I also slammed my hand in the car door so now my hand is all bruised! I can barely type right now and I should probably get off before typing something I regret. I'm signing off, bye bye!

Not Acceptable Behavior!

One of the top 100 rules about humans: People are stupid and will do unexpected things.

I finally realized for the first time ever an important acting tip today: there are good directors and bad directors. And if you must say no then sometimes its for the best. 

Last night when me and my friend went up to Hamlet play practice we were acting out a scene where Hamlet gets mad at Gertrude. I got paired up with a very nice guy with and at the end I got paired up with my friends partner. I already have problems with him considering he singles me out every play practice asking if I can go to freaking matinee shows or not. Um, maybe if you stopped singling me out infront of everyone and being such a jerk and let me talk I would have an answer for you! 

So getting on with my story. I am paired up with this assitant director jerk and he comes over to me and tells me that he wants to abuse me and throw me around on stage. Okay, sure,whatever. I'm cool with that.
 Well what he didn't tell me was that he was going to throw me on top of the dead guys body and move my leg up and down to make suggestive scenes. THAT creeped me out A LOT! Like, no. Not acceptable behavior. I felt dirty. Not only that but my friend got punched in the nose. 

Needless to say I am not enjoying this play at all. We get our lines on Monday. Hopefully it will be for the best!

School! I Am So Sick of You!

Like the title says I have HAD it with my school. I swear every time I walk through the doors I seem to get stupider and stupider! 

Yesterday for example, some kid calls the teacher a b**ch and she didn't even care. How rude can you get? If I was the teacher I wouldn't care about my career anymore I would just slap the kid. Then another kid was counting the kids in the hallway for some reason. I was number eight. I was just thinking "do you really believe you are going to succeed in doing this?" Yeah my school is small but its just lame to count students in the hallway for no possible purpose!
I can not wait until I graduate, only 2 months and 7 days left.
The only good thing about yesterday was that I watched The Mysterious Ticking Noise of the Potter Puppet Pals on youtube. I have never seen an episode of the show and my friend recommended it to me so I watched it and it was hilarious! Its a pipe bomb...YAY!

 

VANDALISM!

So on Sunday the stupid kid who lives next door to me who is my age and all of his little druggie friends found it a WISE idea to break my trampoline. These kids haven't liked me since 6th grade considering my best friend used to have a crush on my neighbor and he found out about it and yeah a whole bunch of lame drama.

I usually go with my dad on Sundays because its the only time I ever get to see him and when I came home my mom points out in the yard and goes "Why is our trampoline down?" It was flipped over and a whole bunch of the parts were sprawled all over. Luckily my step dad was able to fix it, his exact words and I quote, "Im quite disappointed with these kids considering if they are going to break something they should have broke it right."

Then today the lame kids were all like YEAH WE KNOCKED OVER HER TRAMPOLINE WHOO!! I told them if they come in my yard again they are going to be arrested because I would be calling the cops about vandalism (they are all 18. All of them can go to jail and I wouldnt have any second thoughts about it.)

But for some brighter, happier, news, yesterday when I had play practice the director/assistant director and everyone told me the perfect job for me would be to be an anime voice actor (one of my dream jobs!)
