Summer Slumber
I've been sleeping like a child for almost a month now. I go to sleep between 4 and 6 am, only to wake up around 4 or 6 in the evening. Horrible sleeping pattern, I know. But that's how it usually is for me during summer break. All those nights staying up, writing papers with overlapping deadlines....it's nice to just sleep away.
But I'm going to stop doing that soon. I wanna work out -- gained 5 lbs or more, thanks to my wonderful! birth control,ugh -- and even head out and look for casting auditions and such. Y'know, make money and work on my acting skills. I'm really happy that for my debut in theatre, I was a lead role. And it has just sparked that sleeping passion in me. That and I really need to make a fuck ton of money for my parents to live the rest of their lives peacefully. Being a middle school teacher isn't going to help me afford that. But it's not a burden. I love acting...so this kick in the butt and reemerging passion is welcomed.
Shari and I spend all night either on the web or playing Modern Warfare 2/Rock Band. I got back into anime as my friend Zack lured me into watching Fullmetal Alchemist -- an anime I've never been attracted to -- and now I love it. It's given me muse to write, to read more...It's amazing. I absolutely recommend everyone to watch it. There are two series and I just finished watching the latest one that actually follows the storyline of the manga -- which just finished in June! And just yesterday I started watching the first anime series, which apparently is the one that had everyone go crazy over FMA, even if it diverts entirely from the manga. It's supposed to be more scary and all but what I like the most about it is that this first series spends more time connecting with characters. So when the character dies, you'll bawl like a baby --- like the time when Dumbledore died? Yep, just like that.
But the best thing about this summer has to be how Freddy and I have just gotten stronger together. We made a year and 7 months Monday and he came over and he made me a chocolate souffle. I'm going to miss him terribly when he goes to New York...or Cali, if I can convince him. But I'm not going to think about our departure now. Else I get all depressed and shit.
Tomorrow we're going to make crab and lemon thyme souffles. I hope it comes out looking like the picture in my cookbook lol. And tasting as how good it looks!
