I dunno. I kinda wanna talk about some stuff.
My friend's not talking to me. Just because I was honest. My friend I haven't spoken to in years finally contacted me and I told her why I had been hesitant on reaching out and she just stopped. Why can't people react like they did in the 50s, where they were sure of themselves regardless of what people said, and they stuck to their guns. I'm scared my friend gets easily offended. I didn't mean to be rude.
Also I called the owner of a Subaru that they're trying to sell. He seemed unimpressed with my offer and that got me down. I really kinda wanted that Subaru.
It's been a down day. I feel better now here at work and all, but on the walk here, I was hot and miserable and started thinking about what the point to life is and is there one? And am I supposed to drown myself in project after project in the hopes that one will mean something to me? Why do I do it? and why is money so dumb? I cried tears that I've never cried before and called Atlantean to talk it over before I went in to work. He's been sending me funny pictures of penguins. He's sweet. And I do feel better.
Also both of the fun ladies in my work came up and talked to me. One used to be my YW leader and offered me earrings. The other came up and teased me that I wasn't brave enough to wear my Mickey Mouse shirt when my boss herself wore a Minnie Mouse shirt a couple days ago.
I'm also bored. I love my play, and I love directing it, but we have one very simple scene this week. I'm gonna miss it. I want something that means something. I started reading Sherlock Holmes. I have this big beautiful edition from Barnes and Noble. I like it already, but it's quite the commitment. I love Atlantean, but I'm thinking I want some time alone, but every time I get time alone, I want him to come comfort me, which is ridiculous. I also watched Carousel this morning. It was okay. I also really like Arrested Development. Rewatching that stuff is the bomb.
I dunno. Here I am.

June 25th
I figure I gotta get something in for June, though I will admit I'm nervous considering my boss told me blogging at work could get me fired if it wasn't on a personal computer.
I just wanted to cover a couple things:
Number one - my play has started! This summer I am doing a play that I wrote called Red With A Riding Hood. We have rehearsals on Mondays and Tuesdays, which my coworker isn't tickled pink about, but as my janitor friend said, "We all have to do things we don't like. Plus you're doing a kid's play!" (I asked her to take the afternoon shift on those days, which she doesn't like)
We have already worked on some songs, and we've rehearsed scenes. I have some fun characters in my cast, and I am finding I have more patience this year than I ever have before. It's been a pretty fun experience so far!
Number two - our car is in the shop. Our dear white Scion (lovingly dubbed the Toaster) went in to get it's oil changed, and they found a long list of problems that they suggested we started chipping away at. So we went in and told them we wanted the most important (and coincidentally, most expensive one) taken care of first. They told us it would take a week, which we consented to. Turns out they had just fired most of their guys at the shop so they were dangerously understaffed, and then they sent in the part that we need fixing into the only guy they trust and it turns out he's so backed up with other jobs that he can't even give us a date as to when he would be finished! So we are looking at two to three weeks! Thankfully, the car we are borrowing is not necessarily needed back by it's owner any time soon, but it's still not an ideal circumstance.
Number three - We still love improv! We found a new group we love and we auditioned! We went to Random Tangent's improv auditions to get into their group, and we thought our chances were pretty high until we walked in. Guess we underestimated them. There were 12 people there who were all really good! So our hopes went from high to plummeting in a matter of minutes. But then we bucked up our attitude when we just realized we were having fun! So we did :) and improvving with pros - let me tell ya - is pretty fun!
Then on Facebook, I won an AllAccess pass to QuickWits Comedy due to a little rigging on my part (I asked my family to like it to get the most votes) and then found out about some free passes at Game Haven. So we tried them out and I brought Dryad along. They. Were. FANTASTIC! I was so shocked by what I'd been missing! These men not only knew how to move a scene along, but knew how to throw each other a bone when the scene began teetering a little bit. They also valued walk-ons and knew how to do them so well! I really learned a lot from just watching them and am so excited to have won this pass!
Number four (all the rest) -
We recently had kind of a melancholy D&D which sent Atlantean into a small depression. I had something completely different planned (namely an interlude) but the adventurers decided to go on a separate quest and killed a character for no reason. They didn't know it was for no reason until the very end, and this made Atlantean feel bad since the character had begged for his life. They spent the entire night on exploring the realm for a thing they didn't need on a quest they shouldn't really care about, and then killed someone who wasn't even important. I'm not mad, I was actually fine with it because that's how D&D works - you make choices! Plus I now have a whole other night planned since we didn't get to my original material. Also we'll be trying Mutants & Masterminds next! A superhero role playing game!
Atlantean and I recently discovered a game at Game Haven called Chrononauts. It's a card game where you set out a "timeline" and flip over things that you as a time traveler change but they can cause paradoxes. You're each trying to set a certain timeline to get back home to your reality, and retrieve three random items from history. It's actually really fun and we considered buying it.
I am practicing the piano! My new goals have been one chapter of the Book of Mormon a day, 30 sit-ups and now - to play atleast one measure of piano a day (READING notes). I currently have been playing pages just to pass the time, and I'm actually getting good! For a very long time in my life, I have been obsessed with musicals, and even though I can't even play music, I have been buying the piano books for musicals I love. It thrills me to think that someday I could actually sit down and play them! So I have been practicing because I have always wanted to know how to play the piano so I could play these books. I currently have my stack of four easy piano books that I am practicing out of. I am one song away from finishing Princess and the Frog, then I bought Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, have Nightmare Before Christmas, and then an Easy Piano Dear Evan Hansen book which I recently brought to my in-laws and played on their grand piano!! Music is magical!!! And sometimes it is just SO cool to hear chords that I know and love so well coming out of my own fingers! I'm learning a lot and I intend to keep practicing!
Other dumb stuff:
I'm currently reading "First Aid For Your Car" and want to watch car videos on YouTube. I started thinking about it a couple weeks ago when my in-laws asked for my brother's help in fixing their light. My brother was such a jack-of-all-trades that he was very valuable to not only my family, but those of us around who knew about him. It made me want to specialize in something that could help my family too. All I know how to do is write, haha. I wanted a real skill! So I'm gonna give it a try.
Also reading a book on Polycystic ovarian Syndrome. I might have it :/
There was a cute white Subaru on the side of the road that really appeals to me, and if our car would just darn get fixed, I could maybe talk Atlantean into considering getting it. A car would be nice.
We went to the Scottish Festival and I found out Atlantean is the best person in the world to go with! We went to every single shop, got all the free stuff, looked up our surnames (kind of), watched Highland games and tried vintage Scottish food along with just Festival food. So, in essence, we did everything!
I then insisted we buy an expensive 25$ ring for Atlantean. It has Excalibur on it, very stoic, and I dubbed it "Valiant." Later this month, I received a piece of my Wish order, which was a American flag watch and an angel wing ring, which I loved as a combo. I could stare at my right hand and think, "For God and Country!" and it was cool. Atlantean dubbed my ring the "Wing Ring" or "Beauty."
