So...hey Xanga.

Went to see Mission Impossible III last night with Nat, Jeffrey, Kevin, Alan and his friend Josh.....soooo good!  Such a good movie. Mind you this is coming from the girl who is not really into action movies....but I liked it a lot...that edge of the seat crap was actually fun for once, at least in retrospect.  I will never understand why I get so freakin involved in movies.  I mean, as an actor you would think I would be able to say, "this is fake, stop freaking out", but I don't.   I freak out when someone is in danger or hurt.  Literally affects my stomach and my heart.  I'm a weirdo. 

In other news I'm coming home!  Sweet Home Missouri.  I'm leaving next Tuesday for St. Louis.  I haven't solidified my Springfield time yet, but I'm getting headshots taken with Rebecca Grant on the following Tuesday and leaving that Thursday (25th) so I know it will be sometime around then.  Maybe Sunday night to Wednesday morning?  That's tentative.  But I'm excited!  For the vacation, for my family (my neice especially, the time is approaching when she might actually start recognizing me), and for those Springfield kids, since I know these visits will probably become fewer and far between.  

My boyfriend kicks ass.  He brought me flowers last week at work out of the blue and we've been lucky to have similar days off the last few weeks so we've gotten to enjoy some relaxation together.  We've both got this sort of similar schedule, lazy first few days of the week and then working our asses off on the weekend.  This weekend I worked 7 to 3:30 at the bar, in bed by 4, got up at 7:30 to work/meeting at FAO til 4, back to work at Pro at 5 til 1:30, in bed by two and then at FAO Sunday til six.  But it's worth it because now I'm off completely for the next three days...nice.  We also went to see Ice Age 2 the other day...I suggest you go see it.  It was great.  It's lovely to be in love in NY in the Springtime.  I'm totally one of thooooose people for the first time in my life and I'm basking in it. 

I think I'm finally ready to start auditioning.  I guess sometimes it takes a year hiatus.  I'm hoping getting headshots will push me over the edge, but if it doesn't I'm willing to wait it out.  This first eight months in NY has been amazing but incredibly hard.  I think I made it through the hard part and am finally feeling like I completely belong here.  I never wanted to put myself in the position of being in survival mode plus having the emotional tow of auditioning/rejectioning pulling me down.  But now I feel ready.  I just hope a year of not doing the work hasn't pushed me back too far.  We shall see. 

Also, I saw the Caine Mutiny about a week ago with Alan.  I thought David Schwimmer was miscast and brought the production down but he really got me at the end.  I think the military persona elluded him, but when it came to telling and intimate story, he did well.  There are other really great male performances that shouldn't be missed. 

That's all.  I'm out.  I don't really know what I just blogged about or why since I'm honestly half awake...I know half awake and it's almost one.  I'm lazy.  I think I'm gonna go to target with Nat.  I hope everyone who still reads this is doing splendidly.  Love.

Hello Xanga....it's been years right? Sorry old pal. I'll try to catch you up briefly on my life...it seems that's all I do anymore on Xanga, play catch up. Anyway. I switched jobs. Thanks to Natalie, I've secured a waitressing position at her bar/restaurant, Prohibition. I think it's going to be wonderful. I've had to stick through the hard part of training for basically no money and had a week of not great shifts...but now I look forward to taking in much more money than I was and not working near as long hours! Hooray...no more 55 hours a week just to slide by. Also, I got a raise from that toy store of mine, so I princess for a little more money which is wonderful and secures my decision to stay on at least a day or two a week. I just really love the people there....I can't give it up yet. Kevin and I are doing wonderfully. We've just passed three months, or as I like to say, a quarter of a year...it makes it sound longer. I met the parents a few weeks ago and it went nothing like that movie. I'm pretty sure they like me better than him, but I don't want to say anything. But seriously, I always love meeting people's families b/c it gives you an idea of where they're coming from. His was great. Jeffrey's been back from Missouri since Saturday and I haven't seen him yet. I'm pissed. I didn't see him for like 4 days before he left and he was gone for like two weeks and now since Saturday...It's been three weeks since I've seen my best friend! I'm gonna kill him. It sucks when schedules just don't match up. It happens a lot in our apartment. Natalie and I now see each other all the time finally....after seriously going weeks at a time missing her...and now it seems Jeffrey and I can't hook up. Makes me want to cry. I'll get by but seriously if I don't get a gay humping soon, some bitch is gonna die...that's right I'm hardcore gangsta. I'm coming home sometime in the month of May and I'm gonna come to Springpatch and hang and try and get my headshots done by Rebecca Grant I think....so yeah, if you're in Springtown and you could just go ahead and pencil me in for the month of may that'd be great. I'm trying to work out when I'll be there with my boss and my fam...and then I'll let ya know. Okay, I'm out...catch ya later.

Alright....sorry....I'm back Xanga....well, who knows...but today I'm temping at a new place and they have not yet tried to keep me from you....and they won't at all...because it's only a one day job.  Catch up time..

I'll start with that related news...I quit the investment firm that I was working at....not my agency just that place....one day, a week and a half ago, was apparently "treat Annie like an ass hole day" day there....and I wasn't having it.  So I told my temp guy I'd finish out my obligation to them (one more week) and then I didn't want to go back...  I don't know what's gonna happen now...but I"ve been madly searching for after-school programs to teach in.   I have an offer to audition to teach for Kaplan teaching SAT test prep...so I need to do that....I've just been lollygagging with my 55 hour a week schedule....This week is my "get your shit together" week though...I've taken off Tuesday and Friday and am only working five hour shifts at FAO Wednesday and Thursday.  I think it's going to feel like a vacation in the Bahamas.

Secondly, I had visitors last week...it was so nice seeing the kids from MSU.  It's always a treat to have a piece of home here.  Also, Michael Casey stayed in my apartment...he was a wonderful houseguest with funny pants.  That's all I will say.  We enjoyed having him as a subletter if only for a week.

Speaking of sublets...we have a new roommate named Leo.  I haven't gotten to spend a whole lot of time with him yet, but he seems like he'll be a lot of fun.  First impression is definitely a good one so hopefully no drama at 908.

I'm looking to come back to Missouri to get my headshots taken by Rebecca Grant...I don't wanna shell out a lot of money on for real NY headshots when I'm being a lazy bum about performing right now...plus, I really like her work and it's ridiculously inexpensive compared to the people I like here.  I think I may try to come back around graduation, maybe early summer...I need to talk to my people and make sure they'll be around.  

Finally, Kevin and I are doing wonderfully.  I could go on and on about how wonderful he is and how happy I am to have him in my world but then you'd start making gagging noises and I'd feel like one of "those girls"...so I'll just leave it at that...well and say...that like two weeks ago, I got majorly sick one night and took a muscle relaxer to fall asleep because my back was spasming like crazy along with feeling nauseated and faint and dizzy...and I woke up the next morning to his phone call saying he was almost to my apartment and he was bringing groceries to make me breakfast....I mean, I don't wanna say....but I'm just sayin....you know what I'm sayin?  He's a peach, I say!

I hope this was sufficient...I don't wanna get off too much on the wrong foot with this firm, so I probably will leave my entry at this at least for this morning....

I'm back Xanga!

HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY EVERYONE!!!!!

 

Listen...Xanga...Sorry I haven't posted in a year and a half....I uh...am busy...or something....are we okay?  Can we talk about it?  I still have feelings for you...No really I do...it's just...we're drifting apart.....there are new people in my life...and well.......................................Geez. I never expected it to be this hard.  Listen, I'll call...or something...

 

(p.s....this sucked...I was like...ooh I'll make it green for St. Patricks Day...and then I was like, oh no, my background is red...it'll look like Christmas.....so I was like...Orange!  Like the flag?  Sure...that'll work....welcome to Pumpking Town!  Ugh!  My life sucks!)
