On 2008 and being eager for the new year
In 2008, I gained the confidence to audition for the musical.
I lost strength in my left leg, because I fractured my ankle falling down stairs at school and then got attacked by a sting ray in the same foot.
I stopped regretting the past and got over my mistakes.
I started blogging!
I was hugely satisfied by Obama-Biden’s win, and Brit’s comeback.
And frustrated by my grade in...

I live the good life
Yesterday, I helped my brother with a photoshoot for Adrienne Janic at Thompson Hotel in Beverly Hills, brushing shoulders with the PR guy for several high profile celebrities and an assistant to an international fashion designer.
In the evening, our sisters joined us at The Grove and the Farmer’s Market, where we shopped, ate fresh fruits, and spun in circles beneath artificial snow. We...

Je suis ici pour toi toujours.

Rejoice!
I’m finally feeling the Christmas spirit! Perhaps because I spent all of yesterday immersed in the season’s joyous consumerism, traveling from Fashion Valley to Barnes & Noble to Target to CVS and to Ross. I actually ended up finding things that my recipients would like or use, rather than purchasing gifts for the purpose of obligatory giving.
But my Yuletide cheer is more likely...
Fleeting
Moments of my life have gone undocumented; the bare pages of my Moleskine crave words, my tumblr remains vague. Days are passing by gently, but deliberately. I refuse to face expressing my emotions now.

From A, to Z
A pound of potato salad, perfect songs for watching precipitous weather together, my head on your shoulder, your hand on mine.
There isn’t a better way to celebrate the best five months of our lives.

I suppose
I just have to regard it as a psychology experiment. That way, the world looks a little nicer and I don’t have to realize that it’s personal.
Bliss
Thank God for my friends and my family. I love the people around me, I love where I am, I love where I’m going. For the first time in a while, I feel ready for what’s ahead of me and I can’t wait for my future. I’m more excited than I am scared out of my wits.
Friday night was the Good Shep All-Night Party and, despite getting hit in the face and having a bloody lip and...
For you
I don’t like the choices that you’re making, and I wish you could talk to me about it. I’m not fooled. But it is your life after all. Just remember I’m still here, as I’ve always been, as I’ll always be.
How lovely to be a cast member
I drove to school at 8pm to check the final cast list. I’ve been antsy since today’s callbacks and I really needed to know how it all shaped up, but of course I drove slowly because I hate hitting 45. Anyway, I arrived in front on the drama room, parked in the middle of the street, and physically couldn’t unlock the car because I was so jittery. Rebecca and Taylor were outside...

It could've been such a wonderful life
In fact, it is.
Callbacks: Check and CHECK! Today’s dancing portion was brutal on my left ankle, still not completely healed from my injury (falling down stairs while reading biology notes) this past spring, and I didn’t sing as well as a ton of the girls there. But, I guess DH and Mandock like something because I MADE IT THROUGH SECOND CUTS! I’m totally ecstatic and I...
Aspiration
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Philippians 4:8
Quaecumque sunt vera.
it's that time of the month again
And by that I mean the Falcon Flyer deadline. Surprisingly, I’ve upheld my vow to extract the paper from my daily thoughts, concerns, and responsibilities, as it caused excessive stress for no monetary reciprocation. I did next to nothing for this issue: I wrote two articles, one of which was a satire that the editors “didn’t get” (so I took my name off of it because they...

Can I just go to college already? That’s all I’ve got to say about the past week and a half.
