Oh the things I SHOULD be doing...
Hello dear friend, and helper of procrastination...how glad I am to have you.
Yuppity yuppity yuppity.
Now THAT is a fun word. Unless it's some sort of racial slur that I don't know about...which is quite possible.
But yeah...I'm thinking that it's time to switch to a more festive LJ scheme. I'm SOOOOO excited for CHRISTMAS!!!!
That should kill some time...time in which I should be working on my history of texts paper. Or doing one of 4 directing analyses which are due. Or critiquing The Miser...or anything productive.
Didn't go to New York this weekend as planned. Mike's Aunt Theresa passed away...so the trip with his family has been post-poned indefinitely. I feel bad. I chickened out on going to the funeral with him. Well, the viewing AND the funeral. But I was sick for the funeral...even though I think some of the sick feeling was from me being scared of going. I've never been to a funeral. All of my relatives died when I was too little to go. My momma didn't want me to see that kind of stuff when I was in the single digits. And I think that's ok. But it's something I need to learn to do. I've only been to one viewing...and it was so completely traumatizing that I don't really care to relive it right now. In fact, I'm ending this topic right now so I don't get depressed.
Yesterday me and my mommy and daddy and Michael spent the day in Pittsburgh!!
We went to the Carnegie Science Center and took a look at the miniature village! They added some really cute little things to it to make it a little more "Pittsburghy". We saw a super-boring show in the planetarium...but they had this AWESOME display on how they make movies and stuff...I knew most of the information already from classes here...but they had all of these neat artifacts...like Satine's "Diamonds" costume from "Moulin Rouge"!!!! OMG!!! AND they had the model of Satine's elephant that they used for all of the aerial shots!!! It was soooooo neat!!! I love that movie. *grin* Unfortunately they also had one of the ET puppets...*shiver*. Scared the hell out of me...it's probably the first time a 20 year old gil got scared at the Science Center. Then we took off for Station Square...grabbed a bite at the Hard Rock...where service was terrible but we could watch the pretty fountain so it wasn't that bad. :-D
Then we went outside to actually watch the fountain...and it was just so perfect. It was just chilly enough to make my nose red...but Mike's hugs kept me warm...and it was just sooo wonderful to spend the day happy. With my mom and my dad and Michael...the 3 people I love the most in the world. :-D I'm so incredibly blessed. I sometimes wonder what I did to be as lucky and as happy as I am. :-D
I can't wait for Christmas!!!
