My request

Okay so I have finally broken.
I'm so tired of hearing girls and women complain about guys who hurt them and then turn around and they still want to go back with them. I can't say that I am innocent of this but I am going to make a deffinate effort to change. I know women are strong and can change the world, but I also know that we can't do that if we don't stand up for ourselves. So make an effort. Walk away from that jerk who doesn't treat you right. And don't look back. Don't let some man control you and fight for yourself. Don't be a doormat and don't listen to anyone who says that your not good enough. We will never win the fight for equality if we're fighting as nothing but a doormat that wants to be swept off every so often. Be who you are and no one else. You deserve to be able to stand tall. Don't let anyone tell you that you don't.

Firemen

I have recently discovered that my life has been overrun by firemen. We are doing a play this week called "The Guys". It is based on a true story and takes place 10 days after September 11, 2001. It follows a journalist/editor who is recruited to help a New York City fire captain write the eulogies for 8 of his men that were lost forever in the World Trade Centers. The story is really moving and is the most serious play we have done thus far. Since the play opens Tuesday, we have all been going crazy getting ready for it. And just so you know, by all I mean the two actors in the play, the director, assistant director, stage manager, and me, the lighting technician. Now we have also added a spotlight controller and the projector controller. thats seven students and one teacher going crazy for one play that's about an hour and a half normally and about 2 hours including all the video. Not to mention that I have somehow nominated myself to do the PR for the play, which includes going around town asking complete strangers to hang up posters and writing letters to mail out to all the local firehouses (18 of them). It's alot of work, but also something that I have found out that I enjoy doing. I love being backstage. It's a lot of fun to see all the ins and outs of the play from every side.
Anyways, with all the talk about firemen with the play and reading a book by Nicholas Sparks called The Rescue which is about a firefighter, I have really started thinking about all the things that a firefighter does. It's kinda crazy to think that when everyone else is running away from the burning building, there are people that are running into willing to do whatever it takes to save lives and prevent excessive damage. These people are the ones that keep us safe and the ones that we know that we can count on no matter what. I always knew that they were heros. It was something that I've always accepted. But, until recently I never really thought about just how heroic these ordinary men doing extrodinary things really are. I'm so in awe of everything that they do right now.

Confusion to the nth degree

You know how sometimes you feel like you can not possibly get anymore confused? Well I reached that point the other day. And just when I was certain that I had reached that point, life got even more confusing. Two guys who have told me that they love me in 30 minutes. Talk about overwhelming. Did I mention that they are both my ex-s? I deffinately don't have that kind of feelings for the first one, but the second is more complicated. He's my first love and I honestly still love him. I just don't want to get stuck running around in endless circles which is what I'm scared to death is what is happening. We have already went out 4 times. When is enough enough? When do we finally say that we don't need to give it another shot? And what if we really are meant to be together? Man, life is so dadgum confusing sometimes!

Local haunts anyone?

Okay so i'm really interested in the paranormal as most people know. I'm wondering if any of you know of any haunted places in the area. I'm talking about those places that have stories about ghosts haunting them so everyones scared to go around it. Just leave me a comment if you know of any. Thanks!

Nair and prepare

So I just tryed the new Nair product Shower Power. Just a word of advice...save your money. It costs almost $7 at Wal*Mart. And that doesn't last. I had to use half the bottle in one sitting. For those of you who aren't so quick on the math, that's $3.50 everytime I decide to get rid of the hair on my legs. That's crazy. Plus one of the reasons that you use a product like nair is to avoid the pain involved with shaving. My legs feel like I've got a serious case of razor burn. I'm not too happy. And it didn't even remove all of the hair. Urgghhh!!! I'm sticking with a razor i guess. I'm so frustrated.
Now I've got to go pack so that i don't have to wake up at 3 in the morning to get ready to leave.
I can't believe that in 33 hours i will be on a plane for the first time ever! I can't wait!

My new obsession

Okay so on my way to school every morning I have started listening to a new radio station. Well new for me anyways. It's "That Guy" Kramer on Island 106. Which is actually 105.9 on my radio dial. It makes me mad cause at about 10-14 miles from my school the show starts getting static-y and i feel like I've missed something if it goes out for even a minute.
I have to confess that i only found the show because i was flipping stations when there was nothing else good on the air at the time. The hosts, Kramer and Holly, really caught my attention. I can't remember what they were talking about at the time but i know that it was pretty funny to listen to them go on in that bantering style that is normally hard pressed to find on a radio show. I have now found myself automatically turning my radio to see what their talking about every morning when i get in my car, around 8AM.
So here's a recap of the topics covered so far this week:
Monday - Holly got her first bikini wax. Very interesting to hear them talk about that one. They even had audio from the waxing that they played on air. Very Very interesting. Check out the audio at least. You can check out the video if you want, but I haven't watched it yet so I don't know how interesting it is.
Here's the link:

Tuesday - Kramer had found a study somewhere that 22% (?) of women in San Francisco would prefer to eat certain foods than have sex. Kramer found this unbelievable (or should i say impossible?) while Holly strongly agreed with the statement. Since I've never experienced the second option, I can't really have a valid opinion on this now can I? Holly followed her agreement with the statement with the best endorsement for The Melting Pot (a fondue restaurant) that I have ever heard. The Melting Pot should seriously hire Holly to do all of their commercials. I want to go to The Melting Pot now. And I've never had fondue.
Wednesday - The end of the world. According to the Mayan Calender, the world is going to end on December 21, 2012. For those of you like me who are wondering why December 21 would be pulled out of a hat to end the world, this is the date of the winter solstice. I mean seriously, why not wait till the end of the year. If I was in charge of the end of the world, I would end it on something like December 22, 2012 just to throw everyone off. Wouldn't that be ironic? I mean if the would ended we would all be dead so we wouldn't care about the irony, but it would still be there. I agree with the first caller on the topic. If your going to say that the Mayans are backed up by the bible on this one, at least let's throw out there the fact that the Bible says that the end of times will come like a thief in the night. That means that the Bible's not going to say that "Hey guys, just so you know, everything is going to end and you better get yourself prepared" And how do you expect to be prepared for the end of the world anyways? How far do you expect canned food to last? If it takes as much as it does to prepare for a hurricane, what would it take to prepare for something like that, THAT WOULDN'T END!?
So what will be talked about tomorrow? I wish I knew. Too bad I don't have school tomorrow.

Wanted: Five Guys and a Burger

So tonight me, my mom, and my stepdad went to see the movie "Wanted". It was a really good movie, and it had me laughing to myself at times when things probably only really seemed that funny to me. Like seeing Mr. Tumnus from Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (James McAvoy) shooting people as an assassin. Or watching Angelina Jolie boost cars like she did in Gone in 60 Seconds. All she was missing was the blonde hair. I strongly recomend going to see it. It's like one of my favorite Angelina movies ever. And i'm amazed at how versitile James McAvoy is as an actor. I mean he was a half-goat in Narnia, a late-18th century romancer in Becoming Jane, and now a trained assassin in Wanted. I'm fascinated.
After the movie, we went to Five Guys and a Burger. The burger was really good even tho they didn't put the bacon on my bacon cheeseburger. I could have done without the fries, which is weird since my mom just keeps going on and on about the fries. Maybe next time we can save and just get one meal and she can eat the fries and i'll eat the burger. Hehe.
A plus of the day...I got an email from my wonderful boyfriend!!!! Yay!!!! His email's been down this week so this is really really cool.
Can't wait to see what tomarrow brings.
Gotta go watch The Girls Next Door.
