I guess I've just been a wee bit busy...
I love the word wee... Sandra of Belfast said it all the time when she was at my school in the fall... "wee pet" "wee cuppa tea" loved that...
AnyWAY.. I'm so busy I haven't blogged about anything relevant (ever, wait that's not true), in a while. It's because school ended, I have a few loose ends over there, and I'm leaving for Israel in two weeks!!!! I'm SO like running around in a BLUR>>>A BLUR... I just keep seeing my buddy Paige during her interview with me (in my documentary i say smugly) moving her arms fast enough to blur on camera. She was talking about how the world was moving on around her...and I just keep seeing her doing that in my head...
Anyway as a film person can I say I hate how much one has to pay for Final Cut Pro and how annoying it is that my school gives the finger to it's film/tv students by having a fleet of g5's and comm arts students can't have proper accounts on them?????? And people wonder why pirating of programs is such a problem... not that I think you should pirate all the programs you need, but if you need it and can't afford it...well that's most art students right?
oh and a twitter thought... I think Demi Moore is on there and she's following John Larroquette and I like the total Nightcourt lo(ser)ver I am I followed him...I'd love to know what these celebs are doing day-to-day in a fairly professional realm but I feel like I'm kinda being a creeper... and then again is it them at all or someone playing an elaborate RPG with my head??
ok so finishing Dani's Car Wreck after my drink wasn't my best idea huh?
I'm going to be at the Mem. parade... I'm shocked that I'll be conscious (considering the parade starts at like 10), but I might actually be... or maybe I'll avoid it (like I do every year) and just go to Dani's for burgers and beer afterwards... That's really what I'm looking forward to anyway...
OH AND HAS ANYONE SEEN THE TRAILER FOR NINE OMG I'm really really really excited...
and as we all know I would post it here but the trailer itself is spazzing so I'll post the link in hopes it works for you... Do it for Italia Guido
Good Morning...

Goodie of the non-video kind!!!
My darling hallmate Jane got in a lot of trouble for stealing a Chirstmas Angel off the Tree in the caf. Being raised Jewish I wasn't sure how big a deal this was... Then I remember I was at a Catholic college... and realized poor Jane had some explaning to do... so this is what she did...THIS is why I love her.

Dear Joan B*,
On Friday, December 5, a friend of mine dared me to take the angel off the top of the Christmas tree in the cafeteria. Without hesitation, I thought it would be funny as well, so I did it. I am also a bit of a Grinch around the holidays because of sad family situations. So I took the angel. I had the intention of putting it back later in the week. It resided in my room for four days, and I decided to return it on Tuesday, but Kelly W* beat me to it. She came in my room and removed the angelic contraband; I felt guilty that I had not been able to put it back myself.
I was unaware that the angel meant so much to you, and that there were other elements involved in this situation other than humor. It was insensitive of me to follow through with this dare. I should have thought about the effort involved, with decorating the tree, as well as the cafeteria workers being questioned about the whole incident. I’m so sorry that it made you feel bad and stressed out. I promise you that I’m a generally good person, I just hate Christmas so much, and taking the angel made me laugh-- something that I don’t do so often around the holidays. This act was not directed to you or anyone in particular; it was an act of immaturity and mischievousness. I’m sorry for spilling my awful feelings for Christmas onto you and the staff. It was a bad choice, and I promise it won’t happen again.
Have a safe and happy vacation. If you need help with anything, or would like to speak to me in person, feel free to call me. I don’t bite.
Love,
Jane D.

A new year...A similar perspective--new motovation
Hello lords and ladies!!!!
It's New Years eve-day and I wanted to say a few things (when don't I want to saying something honestly,but anyway). I'm still not sure where this blog is going. I've had it for a while and there is still no clear direction, just kind of a splattering of what's rolling around in my head, but I think that's what I claimed it would be in the beginning...so maybe it's not such a bad thing.
I joined twitter, to further myself into the digital world (so I can never be free of its silicon embrace), and I love it, go try it, it's like crack or something...
And the world...how is the world doing on a day like today?
I think it's hopeful. Hopeful that this year will be better than what came before it. Less anger, less hate, more jobs, more food, more time, more love. Wouldn't that be nice?
Love
(It needed space, I'm letting the word ruminate in your mind and in the post)
I mean Barak Obama... I'm amped!
Gas is down
stocks are wavering (for the better thankfully even if they aren't consistent)
They caught Madoff (No one is looking at this, yes 50 billion dollars that I'm pissed as hell about, but he can't take anymore can he? I wish he never was able to make a penny off of people but at least he's stopped)
I have a job (a good one, even if it's just minimum wage part time)
It snowed (and yet it melted and it's wet and soggy and too warm)
It's not all peaches and cream (but it's not all shit either.)
Happy New Year folks
I know I'm going to celebrate the arrival of the new year!
try and do the same!

Terminally single
so I was in the Golden Roach(diner) with Dani talking about how officially told my ex to get bent and listening to Dani's tale of ex-ly woe. At some point I mention that I'm not pretty, and I'm waiting for a guy to look past that which I lack and find me intelligent and eventually enjoy my company...And I'm about to keep talking and ask her if she wants start doing dance aerobics with me while on break and instead I don't make it to the dance aerobics question because Dani flips out. She's annoyed with me mentioning that I'm not pretty ( think a few of the guys at the other tables were staring as I said in a clear voice, "I'm not pretty, I get it.") And things of this nature. Dani proceeds to try to prod me with a fork. I doge her attempts with ease. But her eyes were twinged with sadness... while saying "stop talking about yourself that way... I'm going to tell your mom!"
And here is a question... Is it ok for a person to accept the truth of their lack of good looks?
It seems not, because people start to question your self-esteem, and get annoyed and tell you about how you can't compare yourself to movie star who are air brushed ...etc etc etc ... but there are some of us who know we can look our best and still not look as good as other everyday individuals. I take steps to look my personal best, or presentable, wear clothing that looks nice, and put together, but I'm not good looking... WHY IS THIS SUCH A PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE? I'm not saying I'm not good, or particularly ugly. Just not good looking. I'm smart, fun, funny, sweet, a hell of a baker, a nice singer, a great roadtrip buddy, a good tutor, and an ok babysitter. And I;m getting pretty good at the film thing, so I'm not without my options. And yet
People base what kind of relationship they want to have with other people on if they are attracted to them or not (It's a much more complicated process than that I know but it plays a huge factor in it of this I'm sure.). And I've single without any interest in a very long time so following my logic I'm not attractive to the many people I've met... I get this, I'm not thrilled about it but I get it. So why does this upset people who know me?
And another thing
When a guy is not interested they (and they have the balls to admit they want you to step back) always lamely offer "You're a nice girl, and very pretty but I'm not into you". I find that these words are empty. The person saying no is appeasing you by giving you that one shred of validation the women crave... "You're pretty"
We are so much more than pretty or not pretty ... like men are more than good looking or not good looking... Why do we like to focus on this so much?
I don't get that... I never have... I mean sure I've found people attractive, but I try to find out more than I like the way you look in that shirt.
