Along the Way

I'm in the middle of a "blah" phase of my life. There's a lot of good things happening but a lot of bad so I don't what song would describe my life. One that could describe it is the song Along the Way by Thee Armada. It's about how friends help carry you through life even in the rough times and all the fun adventures friends have.

My favorite Thanksgiving food is my grandmother's oyster dressing. It's better than stuffing. Plus, it's got a great cajun flare to it that I abslolutely love. Louisiana style Thanksgiving is the best. Every other year we might have some crawfish too. I'm getting really excited now because I will go to New Orleans on Tuesday! Woo! Go Turkey Day!

I am most thankful for my family. A lot of people say the same thing. My family is so supportive of what I do and tell me to follow my heart. The economy is really bad for my mom's business and my family is very understanding and help us out. Without them I wouldn't be here.

I have so much to do this weekend. Tonight is the second showing of the play, Crimes of the Heart. It's awesome and the set is fantastic...I helped build it. Tomorrow, at the crack of dawn, I have a mock competition in Flower Mound for AcDec. We are beasts!! I'm so determined to go to state this year. But I have no doubt about it!! It's just a little nerve racking. Plus, I'm the only girl on the team. It's a bit awkward but I know the team really well. Then I have to babysit tomorrow night. I really wanted to go help at the play again but it's my mom's friend that I'm babysitting for. She's a new "client" and I want her to be able to depend on me. Plus, I'm super broke and in need of some mulla (money). $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Oh yeah...if you noticed, my title is in code.

I don't know what my best compliment ever was. I often get compliments about having pretty green-blue eyes. That would probably be the majority. It's nice to hear that from people. It lets me know that people are actually making eye contact with me and that they pay attention to detail. I don't have much self confidence so it always makes my day. Once Kyle Burns, the drummer of Forever the Sickest Kids, said I was pretty when I asked to take a picture with him and it just completed my already amazing night. It seems like these days people don't give a lot of compliments. Could it be because of the materialistic world we live in? I don't know.

The Ultimate Question

The question that I wish I could always have the answer to is: What is the meaning of death? We focus too much on what the meaning of life is. But there is the beginning and there's an end and that what death is. Whether someone is religious or atheist, it's all the same. Death is the end of our spiritual presence on Earth and the beginning of our decay...as nasty as that might sound. But what is next? Is that the end? Is there a heaven and hell? Or do we simply add to the natural process of decay and give back to the Earth. The questioning behind what the meaning of death brings about other questions, such as the meaning of life, what's next, and so on. Now that I think about it...this is going way over my head. I smell popcorn and I know at the moment that death is far away and my next adventure is to find the source of this intoxicating smell...

The season of giving gifts approaches.

When I returned from my trip to New York this summer, my camera was stolen. In it was my memory card that was full of over 500 pictures. They were not just pictures, but memories as well. It was quite an expensive Nikon camera and I miss it. If I I could receive any kind of gift, I would love a new camera. I miss my random adventures into the countryside or photo opportunities in the city. I'm hoping I can get one before this summer. I will be going to Europe and I must have a camera to remember this amazing opportunity.
