The Icon Faerie

I'm sure people who follow me on multiple sites are sick of seeing this, but OMG THE JUJAMCYN THEATERS PEOPLE E-MAILED ME FOR AN INTERVIEW. I could be a theater operations intern with one of the three major producing organizations in the city. It's not artistic but I DON'T CARE. I love doing anything having to do with theatre. I am excited. Cross your fingers.

Also, OMG CASTLE. ALL MY CREYS.

First things first: Emmy nominations!

Second things second: I have a new layout for the first time in like... two years. It's not super fancy or anything and I will probably continue to tweak a little -- I started feeling sick last night and that put a stop to my fun -- but it is Doctor Whoish, which is fun. dramaturgy

Third things third: meme.

Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep

This song has been on my Sleepytime playlist for ages. I don't know if I'll ever take it off.



The miniseries in general is wonderful, but it has a beautiful soundtrack. Everyone should check out the miniseries. I like the old movie, but this is much closer to the book and original story. Not to mention the cast is stellar, even Keira Knightly. Hans Matheson is one of my favorite actors ever, Sam Neill is creepy but wonderful, and before I saw this I didn't even know that Kris Marshall could actually act. BUT HE CAN!

One of five grad school applications is in. \o/ Of course I have to send other stuff, but it's a place to start.

ETA: Although I can't remember who I sent my GRE scores to and how much money it's going to cost me to resend them to everyone. ;_;

So I haven't updated much because honestly it's been kind of low-key around here, but today I finally have good news, so here's what's been going on in the last week.

1. I worked two days in a week for the first time in a long time. I love pretending like I'm going to be a contributing member of society.

2. I joined westerosorting and am working diligently on finishing AFFC so that I can get my app in so I can find out what great house I belong to. \o/

3. I am taking my second GRE on Saturday and I have been relearning how to do algebra, geometry, fractions, and learning about statistics and probability so that I can do better than I did originally. I also wish that I could somehow inherently improve my essay writing skillz like a mofo but alas I don't think it's going to happen. I'm just going to have to make sure that I'm doing my best.

4. On the TV front, my mom has started watching Dirty Sexy Money with me, and my dad has taken to watching Heroes with me so that he can make fun of me when I make noises and yell at the TV. I also finally finished Angel (I liked it, but not as much as I liked Buffy -- it had its moments, like Smile Time wherein Angel becomes a puppet). Joss always kills my favorites, though. The bastard. :( With Angel behind me I no longer have an excuse for not writing Reneesme Cullen/Connor Angel-slash-Reilly I can now watch Doctor Who and Torchwood, which I have started to do -- Doctor Who, anyway. I'm making myself wait for Torchwood (WAH). I think I secretly adore Christopher Eccleston and I want a TARDIS for Christmas.

5. There were many lolz to be had in RP last night. LOLZ are the only reason I do anything anymore.

6. I was contemplating doing NaNoWriMo because I really, really want to and I have an idea and everything, but I'm just not sure. I don't want to start it and be on track only to not do anything for three days in the middle of the month and then boom get behind and discouraged. I might do it anyway, since I don't have pile of homework and three term papers like I have in years past. >_>

7. One reason I love my Movie Gallery job: I get to talk about movies and be paid for it. My co-worker and I last Saturday talked about scary movies with basically every customer who came in and wanted a copy of The Happening, which we can't seem to keep on the shelf. She can't do them at all, and my problem is that I can never seem to find one that's scary enough. The last one I saw that I was truly scared by was The Blair Witch Project which -- okay, say what you want about that movie, but when you're twelve, watching it in the middle of the night because you know your parents wouldn't let you, and watching it in the dark lest mom and dad become suspicious... that is a fucking scary movie. I did not want to get up off the couch to turn off the TV. Maybe I'm too cynical for scary movies, I just end up thinking, "Man. That's lame," and I inevitably get bored.

8. Friday we were all ready to go to my brother's play(s) and then BAM my sister called my mom and asked if anyone was going to come get her. It was her fall break, except she had neglected to tell anyone this until that point. So we changed our plans and went to Cedar Rapids to get her. I took her back yesterday, and reminded her to tell us the next time she wanted to come home. I'm glad that we got to go to CR, though, I love road tripping with my family because seriously. Some of the stuff that happens when I'm out with all of them I could not make up if I tried.

9. Finally, I got that job I interviewed last week for and I am going tonight to do paperwork. \o/ I am going to go crazy but you know what, at least I will be paid. Not particularly well paid, but still paid.

Yay.

Whew.

If my brain weren't encased in my head, it would leak. ::plugs ears::

Today was long and suffice it to say I want my mommy. Or something.

When I first tried, my internet didn't work (argh) but then roseanna fixed it by methods yet unknown to me. She's just that good.

I don't have to do anything until noon tomorrow because I was exempt from the writing sample. ::dance:: Yay for sending in something for the writing scholarship and stuff. Hooray.

And. I brought a lot of crap. That is all.

Coe College has thusly awarded me with three scholarships of $1500 each for four years as long as I remain involved in the activity for which the scholarship is for and in good academic standing. One for music, one for theatre, and one for writing.

So happy with myself right now.

Those must have been some really big good vibes you all sent me today. My speech kicked total ass. 39/40, baby!

I was driving this evening and stopped waiting to make a left turn. A car flew by me on the otherside (this being a four-lane road) and what should be sticking out the window but an arm shaking the middle finger at me.

At first I was offended, finding I did nothing wrong, but I had a strange sort of satisfaction about it, too. Flipped off while driving for the first time today. This is truly a day to remember. *grin*

Ooh! And relic5_5 is back! Whee!
