Things I love Thursday
2nd time trying to write this all out and repost it.Stupid internet. But it just makes me have to remember all the things I'm loving/grateful for at the moment. Lots of love at the moment.
Things I’m loving <3 :
-weddings!
(My best friend’s brother is getting married next Saturday and I can’t wait to see him and it’s a great excuse to get dressed up!)
-sunny days with blue skys and cotton puff clouds
(I’m so tired of grey,nasty,rainy days here)
-Lord of the Rings books/movies
(I’m re falling in love with the amazing poetry in both of these. The movie cast is also very inspiring-I've been watching behind-the-scenes videos on youtube. and yes I am a nerd thanks for asking ;) )
-mail!
(I’ve been sending mail like mad and received some lovely replies. Anyone on lj like a card of some kind? Just email me your snail mail address and I'll send you something pretty! kit_kat_gs315(AT)msn(DOT)com )
-purple anything
(Purple trolls, hair, nails, clothes, whatever,I’ve decided it’s my color this year)
-inspiring quotes
(The one Gala picked is so easy for me to relate to at the moment.
“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” - Albert Schweitzer
-chocolate chip cookies :)
-My 1st real technical theatre job!! I'm stage/floor manager for AASU's show 'New Voices'. It's a bunch of skits and monologues written by students about whatever- serious life events,random things (there is one with 3 girls talking and acting out what popcorn in the microwave are thinking...it's funnier than it sounds.) All I really have to do is keep the prop table organized, tell the actors to shut up backstage, move the occassional set piece, and for one monologue make broken glass sound effects. It counts for my theatre lab credit of 1 hour. It's been fun for me so far, I believe opening night is tomorrow in our new Chinese Theatre.
-My new corset
(I've been wearing it off and on the past 2 days to break it in and get myself used to it.)
-dark retellings of fairy tales
(I just finished Lani Lenore's Peter Pan story.Wow..Go check out here twisted fairy tales now: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/142868/Lani_Lenore and http://www.fictionpress.com/u/142868/ . I've also been debating buying Black Swan, White Raven by John Crowley. Anyone read it? Opinions?
-FREE HUGS
http://www.freehugscampaign.org/ I really want to grab a friend and go do this one day.
-My (sort of ) make over
(When I go back for the wedding I'm getting my hair trimmed and re highlighted. I decided to go lighter and if I don't like it then I'll try being brunette. I'm also going to try and get a manicure with my best friend. I'm tired of looking so tired, so I'm hoping that updating my look wll help perk me up!)
-Girl Scouts world center in India-Sangam http://www.sangamworldcentre.org/en/home
(I've been searching the website over all today and I really want to travel to India and participate in one of the sessions.)
What are you loving/grateful for lately?
