I have 6 rolls of film to develop over the course of about 2-3 weeks.

Grab the nearest book at hand. Go to page 42. Go to sentence 11. Post it and the name of the book (and these instructions) both in reply and in your Journal.

I’m reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown (Same guy who wrote The Da Vinci Code)

“He watched as images flashed before him–live feeds from hndreds of wireless video cameras that surveyed the sprawling complex.”

I think if you didn’t read a bit before and a bit after, you’d think this was a naughty book. But it’s not, so far it IS quite interesting, and a slight vocabulary challenge but that’s a good thing right? I mean at this rate BOGGLE will be easier right? However I’m only on page 136 and there are 569, so I better get crackin!!

Saturday
Michael and I drove down following mommie, randy, Rikster, friends Cory and Jen and their son Cody to Knotts berry farm fun!  THEN, hi, Michael didn’t want to go on any roller coasters!!……….. WHAT????  I admit I was a little peeved, I think a part of me still is, I mean why go to a theme park if you’re not going to ride the rides?  Who wants to pay mula to walk around when you can walk around for free.  Like those mommies that pretty much go and hold the new born while the 2 year old an dad go on peter pan.  Dumb things.  Anyways, Miguel DID go on the Log Ride………..wow.  I asked him why he came along if we wasn’t going to go on the rides and he said the rides will mess up is back and neck, and I hated that response but if I had a messed up back, walking would probably be good enough for me.  So I just buddied up with Randy and my mommie and Miguel would sit while we went on the rides with Cory n Jen.  My mommie doesn’t do roller coasters.  She’s been on ONE in her ENTIRE life, and that was just earlier this year at disneyland, she went on Thundermountain (there’s the goat Kaza!!!)  And I never give her crap for not going, I just really thought Miguel was gonna ride them with me. ………..SATURDAY NIGHT………..was MEDIEVAL TIMES and i’m SURE that if you know me at ALL you know THAT is like, my favorite place in the world.  The food, the food and food is tremendous and the entertainments is ALWAYS fun!!!!  I’ve gone enough to learn the pattern of what will happen next, and sometimes I would hum along witht he music but I LOVED it and I LOVE IT EVERY TIME I GO.  My favorite knight, Ruben, was of course not there as he stopped working there in January.  (big frown) and I hadn’t gone in such a long time that I thought no one would remember me. BUT alas 3 of them did.  “Irish Michael” as I call him, remembered me, gave me a big hug and asked me where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to.  And he made a point to find me before going away so he could say good bye and that it was good to see me.  He playes the…….the……Chancelor?  He’s not a knight he sits up top with the King and the princess.  Travis (our knight) recognized me.  Said he knew I used to go there all the time and knows I have a really difficult name.  So I told him, and he said That’s right! and gave me a hug.  and we took a picture and I had him sign my little crown (as I ALWAYS do, always in line with the 3-8 year olds is the 6′ tall lady acting like she’s 12.  I say 6′ because 98% of the time I’m sporting a good pair of heels or boots) I wandered around and took pics with some of the other knights, some of them are so much shorter than me it’s always wierd.  Then the blue knight, Kyle, saw me too and smiled and I said “member me member me member me” as I ALWAYS did to HIM.  And he laughed and said I remember you, I remember you always doing that (the member me thing) and I know your name is very hard to remember.  I laughed and told him he said thats right!  (why do they always say “that’s right” and not just the knights ANYONE.  As if *I* am guessing as well…..hhmmmmmmm) hugged me, signed the hat and took a picture.  So that was fun.

Sunday
My Michael and I went and had breakfast, we stayed at the Embassy Suites right NEXT to medieval times………I gotta say working for Embassy Suites was grand in SLO, not so grand in la la land, and staying at them is really great.  You get comp cocktails, and lightsnacks from 5:30 – 7:30pm every night FREE with your room, and a huge cooked-to=order breakfast from like 7am – 10am.  Not just toast and a bagle I mean I had eggs and sausage and bacon and a couple pancakes and fruit, they got cereal and mile and juice and coffee and danishes.  It’s great, it’s always great.  If you travel stay at an Embassy Suites.  Thanks.  SO we ate, went upstairs and got ready to checkout while watching “The Saint” with Val Kilmar (sp?, sorry Ro if I spelled it wrong, I know he’s a friend of yours!!!!) so watching that and packing took more like an hour and a half instead of 30 minutes.  Whatever, we were in no rush.  We checkout at about 11:30 had starbucks got some film for my camera and went to the Movieland Wax Museum.  It’s bigger than it looks.  We spent about 3 hours walking through it and a good 30 minutes in the gift shop.  Nahnnah, michael found some CUTE nightmare before xmas things, and I’m sorry I couldn’t buy them BUT we thought of you!!!!!!!  I wanted to buy wonderwoman stuff for me and loke and superman stuff for sister and smurf and I love lucy stuff for jack and wizard of oz stuff for jack, but in all honesty – Im’ extrememly poor.  Only reason I was able to do stuff was because it was either free, or someone else spent their money so I could do it.  Do ANY of you remember when I had a Good job and credit cards and was having a good life?  I can’t really remember it all too well.  oh well I guess.  THEN……..we went to Ripley’s believe it or not.  Pretty cool, not as bit, not as much stuff as I thought there’d be but still cool to see what I saw.  Then miguel and I went to Outback for dinner and got on the road at about 6pm.  Stopped in Camarillo at the Target on Las Posas road and hung out for too long, then got back on the road and got home by about 11pm.  Good weekend.  Fun things!

Monday
Hair appointment at 10am with Emily at Rontal Salon.  (by the way, my uncle is Rik Rontal and it’s his salon, how cool is THAT.  Yah he’s the only straight male hair stylist I know) I said,  “Do whatever you want to it” (keep in mind for 25 years only my uncle has cut my hair.  Parted it down the middle cut it straight across the back and layered it in the front.  ……..  So I go and we chat away.  And she’s lookin’ at my hair and runnin’ her finger through it and says is your hair naturally curly? and I say yah but not like spiral curly or anything.  It’s got some waves but can never hold it’s own it’s too thick or heavy and it always looks like I didn’t comb my hair.  She said it’s kinda curly, thick and kinda heavy and it frizzes too doesn’t it?  I said yup.  She said ok lets go wash your hair and get started.  She cut off 3-4 inches off the bottom, fine fabulous whatever.  Then she took these wierd things that looked flat and grabbed my hair and just randomly cut.  and CHUNKS of hair would fall off!!!!  Wow is all I could think of.  I think she said I’m texturizing your hair.  So she was kinda layering it I guess is what it looked like.  Then she took my hair and had this razor and started SCRAPING my hair OFF!!!! It looked like HUGE hairballs falling on the floor.  She said that would make my hair a little lighter and go flowy flowy flowy instead of frizzy frizzy frizzy in the windy windy windy.  I said cool.  She parted my hair on the side and cut some layers near the front.  Then she was done with tools.  She sprayed some leave in conditioner and used a very light moose in my hair the scrunched it up and held it with about 3 clips.  Then dried it gently with a hair dryer.  When she took the pins out my hair was curly.  and I was like…………woah. and just kept staring at myself.  But I had to stga so I didn’t keep the girls, I had pretty big hair!!!! ………so we flattened it and I payed her and left.  Feeling,……………..wierd and different, but pretty at the same time.  So yay for that……..MONDAY NIGHT Caitlin came over and hung out for a bit, she’s fun! It’s nice that she lives like 2 minutes away!My michael came over later too and he and smurf and my dadda and I all started watching Grumpier Old Men.  Then my dadda took off to skarieokie and 30-45 minutes later he called the house, terry answered and he asked to speak with Michael.  not me…..Michael.  He asked if the movie was over, no not yet, he said pause it and come down to bills place.  We laughed and said sure ok.  And I know I’m a committed skarieokie Junkie and of course VERY loyal to Kevin the Karaoke God and on the occasion I go to mothers……….BUT…..My DADDA asked for us to go play.  We HAD to!!! it was SOOOOOO FUNNY and fun.  We hung out, I sang songs I’ve never sung before, and consequently the Mesa Karaoke books do not have them.  So I felt it was ok. hahahahaha I sang……..

Uninvited
Don’t Cry for Me Argentina
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy
Thank God I’m a country boy (its a hick bar right?, dad sang a country song, even my michael did so of COURSE i would….)
Don’t tell Mama (from Cabaret)

It was fun and funny. There were like 8 people total there, and 5 of us were singing.  My dadda cracks me up.  You can sometimes still hear is accent when he sings.

Kaza~
Mary Meserve came into the green apron and said when you’re in town we have to call her she wants to go to karaoke, AND she said this time She’ll SING.  Told her I’d hold her to it!

Today I should go to the gym but need to run some errands first.  Like to my storage unit in Nipas, they want money and I need to put some stuff back.  I need to unpack, I need to EAT……..i’m starving!!!!!. But whatever, tonight!  skarieokie at the Dunes!!! And if you don’t come out ususally you SHOULD.  it’s been slow and we can sing more often and try new songs! and not that you care but I’ll be gettin’ to sing “Defying Gravity” again, from WICKED.  I love that song.  Love listening to it, love watching it (the clip from the tony’s) I’m not sick of it.  And a part of me feels sort of complete singing it and motivated to do something as well. 

Speaking of doing something.  Daddas cookin’ me lunch – time to go!

A letter to the girls in New York

Kaza, Nahnnah, and Ro~

You are the bravest girls I’ve ever known.  EVER.  Strange towns to me are supposed to be driven through, and big cities – well I’ve never seen anything bigger than Los Angeles, but they’re to be left alone as well.  I just stay there long enough to dip into the world and get out as fast as I can.  You all dropped your lives, your jobs, your security your home to pursue what we all just see when our eyes are closed.  And I think the hard part is the reality of when our eyes are open.  And I know there’s ALWAYS SOMETHING standing in the way.  We have to not let it discourage us.  We have to just see it as part of the path.  It’s a rock on the path, not the dead end to it.  The people who get lucky and make it on chance have great stories and it always seems so unfair that some of us have to work harder and longer and struggle more.  BUT, it makes making it there SO much better. 

My advice?  Though you didn’t ask, and many a time I don’t practice what I preach.  But in this particular case, I did.  Write it down.  The goals.  Write the big goal down and what it takes to get there.  Write it in a personal journal, write it where it’s not on random so you lose it.  Write it where you will always see it.  Number it off of what needs to happen first, and make that happen.  Then check it off.  Time goes by too quickly to worry. But then again, time is the only thing we have that will remain consistant.  Dont’ waste anymore time not making something happen.  But also, don’t look so far forward that it looks impossible, one day at a time is great too.  And maybe write it down in that journal where the goals are.  Or write on a calendar what you accomplished that day and at the end of the month you can see what you’ve done.  And if you need to change something do so.  Don’t plan too much for little things.  Like, I don’t plan on walking on the beach on monday and wednesday with Caitlin, but I do plan on excercising. So after I do – I write what excercise I did on my calendar.  Make sense? Do at least ONE thing a day for YOU, to help you stay focused on what you need to do, to get you where you want to get. 

Some of us are living vicariously through your adventures.  Though you think you are not having any.  Nahnnah? write in your lj what happened on the subway or something.  People watch!!! You fabulous ladies are in  New York City.  And apparently different parts, doing different things – so tell us about it.  We really DO want to know, we really DO care, we really ARE listening.  When you’re happy, upset, hormonal!, crying, missing HOME, poor, cranky, quixotic or tired. We want to know.  We want to know because you are important to us.  Tell us what stores you see, if decorations are appearing.  We’re coming up on Christmas FAST in New York City aren’t we?  Tell us about the cold and the wind and the colors and how it smells. Tell us about the people that smile or don’t smile. Tell us about your workouts, whether its climbing stairs or going from 7 layers to one in under a minute flat.

Don’t think for a moment you don’t have anythin to write or “report”.  Tell us about a dream you had, a pair of shoes you wanted. ANYTHING.  Because THIS will ALL relate to when those dreams…..til those GOALS are reached.  You will have great “remember when” stories” and EVERYTHING, and all of us WILL remember when.

It’s time to try defying gravity.  I think I’ll try defying gravity and you can’t pull me down. 

I’m through accepting limits, cause someone says they’re so.  Somethings I cannot change – but til I try I’ll never know….

Sing it, love it, Live it

There’s gotta be something better than this, there’s gotta be something better to do, and when I find me something better to do – I’m gonna get up I’m gonna get out, I’m gonna get up get out and DO IT

I love you all very much and will see you SOON

Love,
Yani

Where to begin…..ish….a la….Me.

Loke and Sgt. Jim went to see The importance of pretending to be 18 with Huge Knockers on friday.  It was a surprise when suddenly I realized they were in the front row.  I didn’t have my glasses on, nor do I have any contacts to wear and the audience sits about 2 1/2 ….3 feet beneath us……but low and behold I recognized that laugh and caught a glimpse of them in the middle of Act II .  It was wonderful having them there.  I felt a new surge of energy rush through my body the moment I knew it was them and tried to throw them a couple looks, like when I said “well I’m really only 18 but I always admit to being 20 when I go to evening parties”  At the curtain call Loke handed me a GORGEOUS bouquet of flowers. GOR….GE…OUS.  Vibrant with color and full of life.  I’m sure I blushed through the pounds of blush I was already wearing.  Then afer the bows we go out and say hi to people and we hugged and I thanked them for coming and Loke said “yah, I wouldn’t miss it” and i almost cried.  I dont’ know why it meant SO much to me at that specific point, the fact that it was Loke and I just smiled and didn’t know what else to do.  I guess I sometimes forget that my friends actually WANT to support me and my shows and my choices and stuff.  So. Loke and Jim thank you again for coming, it really did mean alot to me (even though I know I told everyone not to go, it was really cool that you did).

Saturday was the 2 last shows.  A matinee and a night performance.  Between shows the cast went to Gregs house  and he and his wife had prepared Enchiladas.  And YUM YUM YUM.  My tummy thanked them.  The night performance, the closing. …….didn’t feel as emotional as I normally do.  But then again I wasnt’ as attached as I normally am.  Great crowd, all laughing and sending energy up to us on stage.  My mommie and Randy and sister and Rikster all came to see it and they sat with Phillips parents and they all, of course, would crack up about me and Phillip. BUT it was at the appropriate times, so that was nice.  The cutest thing was at the very end when all the couples are together and I’m staring at Phillip and he’s adorable, dont’ get me wrong at all, adorable – love him very much…..but he’s you know…..my brothers best friend and I’ve known him since he was 12. ……….BUT ….cutest thing – at the end we’re standing there holding hands and being “cute” and he took my hand as he always does and put it on his heart, as he always does, but then just said “thank you” and I thought “aaaaawwwwww”  He knows that there were times that I wanted to just say “you know what nevermind” he knows I struggled being “nice” to the director and what not, and I knew just by that he was recognizing all those things.  And it was just cute. So there’s that.

After the show we go down and say hi to the audience and sister comes over and reminds me that Matt (her boyfriend of…..um….awhile now) got me a present.  This I remembered, as she had text it to me a couple days earlier. BUT she brought it WITH her.  So she handed it to me, wrapped and right away it looks like a CD. I’m thinking to myself………..I have NO idea what it could be.  Can’t be John, have all those – that’s a lie I don’t have the     

I downloaded the Fraggle Rock theme today too – that was fun!!!

To remind you:

Tristain Nathaniel in la la land is t_nathaniel

and Ro is on now too with:  robink

Remember: It is only one persons opinion

The Adobe Press saw THE play and said this of me:

“The highlight ofthe show is undeniably Aiyani Mersai as Cecily Cardew. She is amazingly confident in both her English accent and manner. Her perfect comic timing as she delivers her witty remarks with wide, innocent eyes and dimpled cheeks had the audience laughing out loud at last weeks’ performance.”

The Santa Maria Times saw THE play and said this of me:

“Of particular note is Aiyani Mersai’s clever performance as Cecily Cardew. Her debut with the Players as the coy,yet not so coy young woman who falls for Algernon Moncrieff is seamless. Her natural instincts for delivery, movement, and facial expression create a welcome depth to the role. However enjoyable and hilarious is Brown’s portrayal of the grandoise Algernon throughouthte plays’ entirety, he particularly shines in the scenes with Mersai. Their chemistry is certainly fun, and funny, to witness. ” ………………”And Cherise Lang’s portrayal as the assertive Gwendolen Fairfax offered a nice contrast to the younger Cecily. She was at her comedic best in the scene where she meets mersai’s Cecily for the first time.”

The SLO Tribune saw THE play and said this of me:

“Greg Brown as Algernon Moncrieff and Aiyani Mersai as Cecily Cardew also gave standout performances, the former echoing Wilde with his slightly effeminate gestures and melodramatic flair.

Mersai thankfully used a light hand with her role as an innocent ward yearning for excitement with her guardian’s “wicked” younger brother. She balanced the over-acting of Nancy Jo as her tutor, Miss Prism and the lapel-grabbing, sputtering Alan Vogan as her caregiver, Jack Worthing. ”

Michael and Adriane are seeing the matinee tomorrow.  I KNOW I KNOW, no one was invited but I have their WORD they will behave and not poke fun.  The matinee will be played with Phillip (the 18 year old) Tonights performance and saturday nights show, and sunday matinee show is played with Larry, The director.  not bad not bad.  Not Great.  But alas, not bad.  I guess THE play will continue to have it’s moments.  No idea if the new times will see it, and if they do when. 

Tonight my jig was off, my voice didnt’ sound like my own nor did my lines and my accent was not sticking with me.  I haven’t been using it everyday like I did last week.  I shall talk with it all day tomorrow (obviously with 2 shows) but I can’t lose it again.  Some lines I only remember with the afflection that I use when speaking with the so called accent. 

meh.  I shall sleep now, clean hair and clean face and ready for nodtown.  I had a lovely dream the other night.  Remind me to tell you about it.

Joo can doo et!

Which Fantasy/SciFi Character Are You?

Hmmm….Where to begin?  I shall rewind to when I had notes to self:

Loke & Sgt. James!
Congratulations.  Loke you looked GORGEOUS and you’ve soooo lost weight, not that you were ever big, but hi – there’s a total difference.  and i’m so proud of you for having your toenails painted!!!!!  and I’m so sorry you two for missing you when I came back to Sunset Dunes.  Vicki said you guys left about 20 minutes before I got there.  We had the show, then STUPID notes, then we had to run certain things and i just didn’t get there.  After I was also VERY Hungry, and the Angry Housewives surprised me by showing up so we ate, and I quickly went back to the dunes to find I had just missed you.  But I’m SOOOOO excited!!!

Opening Night Weekend
Went rather well surprisingly, ….ish.  And to my surprise (as you may have read above) the other Angry Housewives showed up to root me on for opening night.  They had specific instructions and actually came through on it.  They 1, all came together ,2 on one of the dates I “allowed” them too, and 3 wore the color theme that was dedicated to them during the show.  And to my exTREME surprise, they actually wore the “food fight” costumes.  Meaning, Rebekah stole the costumes from the little theatre and they all wore them.  How funny and cool is that???  I don’t know any group of cooler ladies (because coolER is a word) We are all so different but have so much fun together, we should have someone video taping us when we’re together.  Seriously. hahahahahaah

The Director
Has to take over for Phillip (who plays opposite me) this weekend because he has another show to be in.  So last night I went to his house to run lines a few times then lines with blocking.  Then we just sat talking about plays.  And THIS was the director I could sit with and respect.  The director who thought he was all high and mighty and better than everyone else – but had to say it…..had disappeared it seemed.  He also asked me what I thought of his directing and that he respected my opinion because he knows I’ve worked with most ofthe local directors and theatres and such.  Me? He respected MY opinion??? Wierd.  Then we got into talking about how he originally didn’t see me in that role and I asked why he cast me he said becaues I had the best audition and he actually DID think I was younger than I am and I could play younger easier than older.  Gwendolyn was the role I auditioned for and she’s supposed to be late 20’s how funny is that.  And I looked at him like *I* had the best audition.  Granted not alot of people tried out for this but there were at least 10 girls up for the parts.  And he said not that he was displeased with someone elses performance (male in the cast) but he thinks that the guy I auditioned with may have just been more energized and just had a great audition because he was playing off of me.  Which is quite frankly, the BEST compliment for an audition.  At least to me it is.  That was very nice, and coming from THIS director was close to amazing.  he’s not really one to give compliments or say if he likes something.  If he likes something he just lets it be, if not he’ll suggest/direct for change.  He said he took a bit of a risk because he didn’t know me.  But he first casts for reliability and Phillip told him I was VERY reliable (how cute is the 18 year old, brownie points for trying to “get me in” hahahahaha) then for the part.  He said my look was also a little more ethnic than he had preferred but there was no way he was not going to cast me.  That plus his co-founder (lisa, who is also in the play) said I was great and blew her socks off and he better cast me.  I laughed.  We laughed and I was on my way to skarieokie.

New York in December
Will Happen!!!! I leave December 11th and will return on the 17th.  Which means OF COURSE I get to see WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;dlfkajd;foiawe;awfj;a f; OMG.  I’m SOOOOOOOOOOO excited.  and hang out with nahnnah and Ro and Matty and MAHROOOOOOMMMAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH……….. L;AKDFJA;OWEUAFJA;SDKLFJA;    hi.

Husband – we need to talk about Utah.  It may have to be….later?…..call me call me call me!

Medieval Times
Michael and I are going the first weekend of November, also to Knotts Berry Farm and the Wax Museum.  fun weekend!!!!! AND I got a fabU rate on a room at the Embassy Suites right next door to Medieval Times.  Granted…….my favorite knight Ruben is not there anymore, nor probably any of the knights that would remember me.  BUT it will still be fun!!!! and I can’t wait to go!!!!

Paul McCartney (mommie had dinner with him and many other celebrities)
Hi, yah. So October 15, 2004 my mommie and sister went to a dinner/fundraiser thingy for Heather (Paul’s new wife) in Century City.  Tables near the front were I believe $50,000 for a table of ten.  The middle section was $20,000 for a table of ten, and then seats farthest away were sold separately at $500 a pop. Where my mommie sat.  however, she said she was only like 6 tables away and could see him just fine.  During the night she almost got to talk to him, she walked up to his table and got like an arms length away and he looked up at her in a sort of “yes?” way and then before she could speak a big bodyguard guy very kindly (my mommie says) said that they were trying to keep as many people away from Mr. McCartney as possible and would she mind just leaving the table.  She said she didn’t mind at all, she was just going to say hello and she walked away, looking at him again and he looked up at her as well – eye contact again!!!! ooooo aaaaahhhhhh (let us remember my mom has loved this man and his music since she was 9….NINE, he is her john mayer) When she turned around she ran into heather and said “oh hello heather” and heather said hello back and mommie kept going.  Sometime during the night she spoke a bit the Jay Leno introducing herself and he said something like she looked like the Soccer Mom type, and she said she was.  She also spoke with….._____ Aniston, Jennifers Dad who is on Days of Our Lives.  And sister stood RIGHT NEXT to Orlando Bloom and Mommie saw Matthew Perry as well.  Sister said Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones were there but they did not see them.  And Paul played about a 40 minute set and there was also an auction and all the money went to the cause they were there for.  Land Mines or somethign like that, like “no more land mines” fundraiser or whatever.  They even auctioned off the plate Paul ate off of, he signed it and it went for like $12,000.  Hello??? Hi. Yah, hi.  SO my mommie was VERY excited and had a WONDERFUL time, and she is on the list to receive emails for future events and fundraisers.  Both she and sister were like “you need to become famous quickly so we can have the closer tables” we just laughed and I said “I’m working on it I’m workin’ on it!”

The Green Apron
I told the t.g.a that my availability starting November 1, 2004 will be 12pm – close.  No more opening for me.  5am is TOO early.  Besides I’ve decided the mornings will be dedicated to my excercise.  I have to lose MUCH weight and reshape my body before I take new pics with Cavaleri.

Cavaleri & Associates
It was difficult but I told them to make me inactive, meaning not submit me or send me on auditions until May.  Cinthia was VERY nice about it and said keep in touch and let me know when I got back out there or when I was ready to go again.

The New Plan
So, I plan on moving back to La La Land in May of 2005.  I plan on going to the gym, saving money, and getting back on track.  I know I need to take more/better pics for headshots and Cinthia knows the photographer she wants to use.  The problem is, living here I miss ALOT of auditions because I can’t go the same day.  And there’s only so many auditions that are for the next day, you know?  And the problem I am having with booking things is also a combination of factors.  On more than one occasion I’ve been told I’m too pretty to be the Character Actor, and I’m too Big to be the leading lady.  I’m not comfortable in this body, it doesn’t feel like it’s me.  All my life I’ve been a bit soft but I’ve NEVER been THIS BIG.  It’s so sad for me.  SO – I’m focusing.  I’m “choosing my attitude” by setting time aside to excercise, setting money aside and having a goal.  My mommie said anything worth getting is worth working for.  And all my life I’ve wanted to be in movies and on television making people laugh and cry.  I know to some people television and movies are not “real” acting and theatre is. Well, it’s still the goal I’ve always aimed for.  And every play,  dance class,  theatre class  commercial class, dramatic class…ANYTHING..every song I’ve sung at skarieokie….. everything I’ve done has been to help me get to where I want to be.  And now, my resume looks good, my training has been with some amazing people, I’m not shy singing or nervous when I cold read.  I’m comfortable in my brain, knowledge is always good, however the next step is how I feel in my skin.  And if it’s not comfortable, I have to change it. 

After The importance of pretending to be 18 with Huge Knockers is over, it is no more plays.  I know the fashion show will come up again, and of course I’d love to be apart of that – but we’ll see.  We’ll just have to see.  I know after speaking with Jason a couple weeks ago we were talking about what I could choreograph but still being IN it, I’ll have to be MUCH more comfortable with myself and my body.  I know most of you think I CAN dance, but if you’re not feeling like you look good, it shows in your face and your dancing.  I’m sure you would agree.

SO – keep me on it!  cheer me on! and don’t let me eat pasta and rice and bread! Only…..protein and veggies and fruit.  Lots of water! The exceptions are when it’s that time of the month – if I want salt give it to me, if I want dark chocolate let me have it – or fear the rath!!!! I think thats it for now.  This will be an interesting next few months.  Please just remind me that “if it’s worth getting, it’s worth working for”  I like that one.
