Oh, oh, hey Readers, hey. Thanks again for reading my silly ramblings. I was once told that in theatrical design, an element appearing once is a mistake, twice is an accident and three times is a pattern. So, apparently all of my blog entries will follow the week update/thought pattern. :)
As most of you know, Monday was Valentine's Day. Not Single's Awareness Day or that nonsense, Valentine's Day. My mom sent me to school with FunDip and note cards to give out. I am five years old. But, I did have a great time. To me, Valentine's Day is just a celebration of love! Whether that be friend-love, romantic love, familial love or otherwise. It was so fun to see all my friends faces light up when I gave them a little note and some of the best 90's candy EVER. I don't know, you may be alone one Valentine's Day (I'm not dating anyone...), but you don't have to be lonely. Tuesday was crazy busy. I did get to have lunch with two of my favorite people, however. I did homework until call for V-Monologues and then went home and did more homework! Yay! Wednesday was pretty busy, too. We watched part of an opera called Dialogue of the Carmelites in my Intro to Opera class (duh), and it made me really sad. It was a bunch of nuns being executed near the end of the French Revolution. I think it upset me for two main reasons---I just don't understand how one can be so cruel to one's fellow human beings, especially innocent people! And the second reason is it made me think of last semester's opera (which was also about nuns). Moral of the story, don't be a nun. Thursday was NUTS, but it was super fun. I had a test in my make-up class that I ACED. Thanks to all my practice with the opera. I also had lunch at a sushi restaurant called Ninja with some of my friends. Here are a few cute pics I took. :)

After that, I had a good voice lesson and then went straight into a production meeting! The make-up is gonna be so great. I'm excited to get in on it's feet. Following the prod. meeting, I had dinner with my best friend and then opening night of V-Monologues! It went great. The best night, I think. After the show on Friday, I took my roommate to Off The Cuff, which is an improv comedy group here in Cedar. Saturday, we spent the afternoon cleaning up after the mice that made their home on our pantry. YUCK. I would post pics, but they are really gross.
Now for the thought. This is the part dealing with the four-letter word. Love. This week has been one of reflection on that word for me. I don't recall telling anyone outside my family that I loved them until about Jr. High. Needless to say, it was kind of a big deal. After that, I did say it more, but I didn't and don't ever say it unless I really mean it. I am a very deeply emotional person, which is why I think I love acting and music so much. It helps me channel out the extra. Anyway, the combination of me being an emotional creature and having so much respect for the word, "love," I am unable to reciprocate unless I really feel it. Usually, when people I don't know very well (or even at all sometimes!) tell me they love me, I just say, "Thanks!" or I smile and try not to look really uncomfortable. :] I wish I could say, "I like you a lot, too. But I don't know you well enough to love you," and not look like a big weirdy. The people I do love know it, however. I feel like I tell them adequately, whether it's face to face or in my silly, little notes. So, that's my thought for this week. I hope it made sense. :)
NINJA! I WANT NINJA!
