Dear Journal,
Happy Thanksgiving all! I know I havent updated in a while, and I would like to say that life has gotten in the way but frankly I have just been to lazu or something.. but here is a list of things I truly am thankful for... in no particular order...
*My family- Ok soo yeah we are a bit eccentric, but every year I am happier to come home to them then ever when Im away. People are growing up and its scary, but its nice to know that Im accepted in this wierd bunch of people. My mom made brunch today and we went to my aunt and uncles for dinner and everything was tasty and I could not have asked for more. Wait I take it back.. I wish that my grandma or gma as I call her wasnt sick and i wish Natalie was doing better... the jiggly puff is having a rough time with her lungs right now and I feel really bad, but there isnt anything any of us can do for now.. we have to tough it out.
*My friends (buffalo)- I honestly feel like I have the best friends on the whole planet. I had an swesome time with my girls last night drinking at goodbar haning out, getting cruncked and then eating chicken finger subs.. I <3 being a Buffalo New York girl.. we can kick your ass and drink you under the table.. but I like to think that we do it in style. Im so excited for Saturdays party.. its going to be fantastic.. food, fun, and drinky drinks. For those of you who I keep in touch with from NU I miss and love and miss you all. Hopfully I can get to all soon.
Oh before I forget... FAY is was amazing seeing you a couple weeks ago.. I had a blast and I really want to hang out more often if we can.. It was great catching up with you over a beer and chit chatting. It was like picking up a book.. I feel liek no time went by when I saw you.
LU- Yay for getting married! Congrats and all that.
JAMES- You astound me. Im so happy we maintained our friendship, I dont know what I would do without you in my life
*My friends (towson)- You keep me sane in Baltimore and weirldy enough support my work. You give me the inspriation to keep doing what Im doing and actaully have enough faith in me to take part in my art as well. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my friends and taking me grocery shooping, swing dancing, and making me take part in general mayhem. ALso... to my costume shop gals (and guy) you make me smile when I dont think its possible, Im learnign so much from you all every day, thank you for keeping me strong and for letting me vent when nothing is going right.
*Steve- Yeah ummm I am thankful that he is back in my life in such a positive way. He keeps me going by smoothing tensions just by talkign to me every night from 2 states away. When we are together I feel complete, that the pieces that were missing in me are suddenly filled. I dont know what the future will hold for him and I, but I do know that he is teaching me so many valuable lessons about what it means to be in a healthy adult realtionship. Thank you for returning my calls, for making me feel happier then I have ever been and for holding my hand and stopping me in the street to tell me that "we are doing to much walking adn not enough kissing". I wonder what I did to deserve such affection from him. I have to pinch myself every time I get off the phone from him becuase i dont undertand how I lucked out so hard by getting a second chance with him. I know in my heart this isnt an accident or simply just a coincidence.
*MFA- I am so thankful that I am finally getting a chance to prove myself in a professional atmosphere. Thank you Micheal Todd King of the wild frontier for asking me to be your costume designer, thank you Stephen Nunns for making me relize I need to write my own plays, thank you Junaita for pushing me in playwriting, thank you Cheryl for making me pull out my stiches over and over again until the garment is perfect.. so that I learn the right way to make a costume. thank you lane for giving me the lead in your thesis even though i bitch about the pain you put me through as often as I can, thank you thank you thank you for molding me into a true experimental artist.. i cannot wait to make you all proud of me.
my brohter wants to get on the computer.. i should let him.
but once again.. thanks.. if I havent siad it enough Im sorry... but seriusly guys thank you.
with 1000 sweet kisses
