Life Update

Hey Guys! I know I haven't posted in a little over a month. Things have been crazy..lots of decisions to make, etc. so I haven't really had the time to write anything over here. But anyway, let's catch you all up on my life.

Roy and I decided to live with my parents until we move to New York so that we don't have to pay rent and we can actually save money for New York cause well, it will be nice to have some cushion money when we are just starting out there. We will be paying for all of our own stuff, we just won't have to pay rent which will be nice. Also, this allows me to be able to go back to school and keep doing theatre. If we both had to have full time jobs, those things wouldn't have been able to happen. So all in all, it was a great decision we made. I don't care if people are judging us for living with our parents, it was a good decision for us and that's all that matters.

I got cast as Lily St. Regis in "Annie" which is really exciting. I finally get to play a part that is comedic relief, sexy, and a villain. I always get stuck playing the innocent goody-two-shoes but finally I get to do something different. This will allow me to grow as an actress which is really awesome. The more training I can get the better.

Everything's great. I have an awesome husband, a place to live. I'm in a great show and school's starting soon. And God is going to lead Roy to an awesome job soon. I can just feel it. Everything is finally heading in a positive direction :)

Being A Nerdfighter

Nerdfighter: A person who is full of awesome and wants to decrease world suck.

Let my first explain that Nerdfighters do not fight nerds.They are nerds who fight against world suck by supporting charities and just doing great things for the world. John Green (my favorite author) and his brother Hank Green started this community via their youtube channel The Vlogbrothers. It is an awesome community full of nerds and being a nerdfighter means a lot to me. I love John and Hank Green's videos soo much and I love what they are doing for the world.

I have been a nerdfigher since Aprill 2012. My best friend Lauryn suggested I read John Green's books. I first read "Looking For Alaska" (an amazing book...everyone should read it) and after I read that I saw that he was a part of a youtube channel and I had to check it out. I watched one video and realized it was something amazing. I was from then on a nerdfighter and I will be for the rest of my life.

Being a nerdfighter is big, important part of my life and I would never change that.

I'm writing a post about this today because I went to Barnes & Noble today and for the first time, left a nerdfighter note. If you don't know what is, it is writing a note about being a nerdfighter and telling someone to go check out the vlogbrother's channel and leaving it in one of John's books. It was a great experience doing that and I hope that note makes someone realize that they are made of awesome.

Summer Of Love

This summer has been a great one. I married my soul mate on July 20. We had a beautiful, nerdy wedding. I mean, it was so nerdy that the wedding party walked down the aisle to music from Lost, Roy & I's first dance was "Under Your Spell" from the Buffy musical episode, and we all danced to "Shake A Booty" by Hank Green & "Don't Unplug Me" by All Caps. I know...we are awesome.

Anyway, another great thing about this summer was that I let go of two people that I really should have let go of years ago. I had two friends who were the most toxic people you will ever meet. I did things I was not proud of just because I wanted them to like me more. They called me fat, friendless, and annoying behind my back even when I decided to become friends with them out of pure kindness on my part. They brought me down so many times and that's not what friends are supposed to do. Friends are supposed to lift you up, cheer you up when you are sad, care about your life, and be honest with you. They are not supposed to be negative all of the time and say cruel things about behind your back. Oh, and they also are not supposed to start horrible rumors about your brother...but that's a different story. Anyway, the point I'm making is that I put up with them for way longer than I should have. I give too many second chances and I trust too easily. I know that being trusting and giving second chances are good, admirable qualities...but sometimes people just don't deserve second chances..and you just have to accept that. But everything is fine because I cut them off completely and life is pretty great. I have a way higher self-esteem nowadays and have realized that by focusing on them..I was cutting myself off from a lot of people who actually genuinely care about me and that is not okay. So now I have reconnected with a lot of wonderful people and life is just dandy.

I don't know what made me want to blog about all of this because it's been months since I said bye bye to them. But I guess since summer is now over..it was a good idea to reflect on the events of the summer. Because reflecting on the past always makes the present clearer & also makes you learn a lot.

At the end of my blog posts I am now going to say how many youtube subscribers I have and what book I am currently reading. Woot!

Subscribers: 14
Book I'm Reading: "Someday Someday, Maybe" by Lauren Graham

Deal or No Deal is way more fun to play than to watch.

So ever since I didn't get the call from PetSmart I've been pretty down in the dumps. I have been feeling like I will never get a job. But then today happened...and I have a renewed hope for life.

This morning I got a call from John's Incredible Pizza (which isn't just a pizza place..they also have a big arcade & mini-rides and what not) and they want to interview me on Friday. And then a few minutes ago I checked my e-mail & I had an e-mail from an animal rescue saying that they may want to hire me.


Life is looking pretty great right now guys.

Also, I played Deal Or No Deal with my family via my dad's computer and it was a lot of fun. My dad pretended to be Howie Mandel and we took turns. It was intense. I won because I won way more money than the rest of my family. Haha suckers! :P I wish that show was still on...because I would soo totally win lots of money.

Youtube Rocks!

Today I'm taking a day off from applying for jobs because it's been really draining & I need a day to relax. I pretty much apply for jobs all days every day sooo yeah, it's time for a break. Being an adult is definitely not as fun as I thought it would be. But you know, I know God is looking out for me and will lead Roy & I to the right job at the right time very soon. I have to trust in him so I can stop stressing so much about it.

Anyway, I really love youtube. I am subscribed to sooo many channels and love every single one I'm subscribed to. I feel like these people I'm subscribed to are my friends in a weird way because they share so much of their lives that I feel like I know them. I also love making videos. I've made about 20 or so videos on my channel so far and it has been so much fun. It is another creative outlet for me and you can never have too many of those. I encourage everyone to make youtube videos because there is something really great about sharing your life via video.

My favorite youtubers are The Vlogbrothers (John and Hank Green) and Kristina Horner. Who are your favorites? (:

I can smell season premieres in the air

So I didn't get the job at PetSmart. I'm really sad and I have been in a funk all day because of it. It was one of the jobs I've applied for that I would have actually liked. Now I'm probably going to be stuck with a job I hate.

Sorry for the pessimism today guys.

I'm just in a really bad state of mind right now.

Anyway, on to happier things.

It is September and September means that it's time for T.V to come back! :D

Tell me if any of you watch any of these shows! :)

Pumpkin Pie In A Cup

Hank Green is really terrible at Portal 2 but great at it at the same time.

Like really.

I am watching him play it right now on youtube and he is such a brilliant person & understands the story so well...but there are some levels he plays that to me are so easy but it takes him like 30 minutes to figure out haha. And then there are levels that are super hard for me that he solves in like 2 seconds. So I guess everyone's brains just work differently.

Anyway, I went to my best friend Lauryn's house today so I could try a homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte (I had never tried a Pumpkin Spice Latte before so this was an exciting time for me). IT WAS LIKE DRINKING PUMPKIN PIE! AND I LOVE PUMPKIN PIE! 

Oh, and we also watched the first 2 episodes of Season 2 of Once Upon A Time because she had never seen season 2. I had seen season 2 already..but OUAT is one of my favorite shows ever ever so I was definitely up for watching the season again. Especially because Rumbelle (Rumplestiltskin & Belle) is my favorite couple of all time :3.

EEEK! Tomorrow is Friday and Friday is the day that PetSmart is calling me to tell me whether I got the job :O
