I have a job at the Bartow History Center! I'm so excited! I actually get to use my degree! So many people were telling me, "You know you don't have to get a job in a history degree-related field." Yeah, I know that, but I love history, so why would I want to do sales? I hate selling things. Whenever we had school fundraisers, I was usually ( Read more... )

I auditioned for "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" on Tuesday of last week and it didn't go as well as I would have liked, BUT I made the best of it because now I have this fun guessing game I play with myself where I cast all the people auditioning and then check the Pumphouse Players website for their official cast list to see if I casted people accurately ( Read more... )

I can't remember the last time I posted on this thing. Here's a quick re-cap of the past month: one week (a month ago) I was a substitute receptionist at a law firm, the next week Toby was super-sick, then it was Emily's wedding week, then I helped my mom with her classroom (not the whole week), and now it's this week ( Read more... )

I'm a substitute receptionist this week at the law firm this guy from church has and it has been...a...zzzzzzzzzzzzz.blazzzzzzt. Just kidding; it's been a little interesting. I just got a phone call from someone asking if "Someone-eh, espeak-eh, espanol" and I said, "Lo siento; no hablo espanol," to which she replied, rather hesitantly, "Eh... ( Read more... )

I auditioned for "The Importance of Being Ernest" on Monday. The whole day I was sick to my stomach and I had an excessively dry mouth during every scene I read. I had no energy and after the first scene that I read, I was ready to go home. So, the good news is that I wasn't nervous anymore.

My dad misplaced the roll of film from my graduation and for the past couple months we have looked everywhere for it. It turned up in the kitchen hidden in the clear scale used for weighing food. We don't weigh our food very often. I was excited to see the pictures, but I completely forgot that there were other pictures on that roll. First, ( Read more... )

I just checked my e-mail and found an update from my old pal Snoop Dogg. It's not too much of a surprise to hear from him as I signed up for his mailing list over a year ago. The subject line this time was "Go To Church." Hmm...I'm thinking if anyone should recommend church-going, it probably shouldn't be Snoop Dogg. Then again, it could just ( Read more... )

So I'm in the kitchen making my coconut cake for my mom when I get this frantic phone call from Erin, Amanda, and Melissa (I think I was on speakerphone). "Katie wants the hutch and blah blah blah!!!" For some reason Alicia didn't want to tell Katie that the hutch she left in the apartment was no longer there and she and her parents were going to ( Read more... )

"This is not a wedding 'ceremony'; this is a wedding 'worship.' So, if you're one to laugh or cut-up, or make jokes, this is not the place for you." Those were the wise words of my cousin Wendy's preacher. I wasn't planning on being bad in the ceremony or smiling in 'God's' house, but as soon as he said that, I had no other thought in my mind ( Read more... )

Just kidding. Okay, you know, I don't have to pay rent and I don't have to buy groceries, but I am nagged constantly and there aren't very many fruits or vegetables to eat. Just meat. Lots of nasty, polluted meat. And the water is soooo cold. I hate cold water ( Read more... )
