The Road Less Traveled


Although life brings you heartache, it brings you a lot of joy too. Nothing in this life has turned out how I expected it to. Everything from love, to school, to friends, to even family has been twisted and churned into something new and different than what I wanted. Take school for example! I thought I was going to go to SUU for a long time there, and look at me now! I'm a student at UVU! And that happened after a lot of different options came across my path. It's funny how the Lord works.

And love.
That right there is a different league that is entirely of its own.

Lets face it, I never thought that I could fall in love again. When I had, it was too hard and too painful an experience for me to live through. I was a zombie in a very much alive world.


And here I am. I've done it again.

But this time, it is more beautiful, more true, more real, more perfect than before. It's made the other Love dwindle in it's sadness and diminish it's great power over me. I've experienced things I never thought I would experience and things I was determined not to feel, think, or touch.
But that's what's happened.

I've figured out that when I sat down and told God all of my plans for the future (like how i wasn't going to get married for a long time, I was going to go to Yale for grad school, and how I wanted to live in New York and maybe even try the film industry) He laughed and gave me Adam.

And THAT has made all the difference.

Humpty Dumpty (aka Joaquin Phoenix)

This is very sad! I really liked Joaquin Phoenix as an actor and person and he's just gone downhill! But it sure does make for a good laugh!
Here's a video of highlights of him on David Letterman. Let the night of February 11th, 2009 go down in the history books of hilarity!




Oh, silly Joaquin.

"How do I love thee?"



I love Elder Holland. He is my favorite, and he is now my home dawg. I'm just saying.

The End.

Twelfth Night; Or What You Will

Basically, to be an actor you need to have either a lot of stamina or just excess amounts of hours to sleep, both of which I have none of. But it is so much fun and I do love doing it with all of my heart. Plus, doing the show gives me an opportunity to spend time with people I love, and that rocks.
Right now I am performing 12th Night with my University. We just relaunched it at a new venue and everyone is already ready for it to just be over. I am playing the part of Sebastian, and before you go back to reread that sentence, Yes. I am playing a boy. As a boy. Not as a girl playing a boy, but on stage I am a boy. Some people's brains explode at this point, but just trust me. In real life, I am very much a girl, but on stage, to the audience, I am a boy.
I'm not going to say I play the part very well, but it really has stretched me and I have learned a butt load doing it. If you don't know what 12th Night is, Google it, because I'm sick of explaining a show that everyone should already know. :)

Until the next weak attempt to blog, I wish you every happiness in the form of gumdrops, rainbows, and ponies.

Oh, how confused can we be without a guiding light.

Can I just say that the music scene is just a little askew? We celebrate music without any point or reason to it. Lets celebrate some lyrics today, shall we?

"Through The Dark"
KT Tunstall

As I walk away
I look over my shoulder
To see what I'm leaving behind

Pieces of puzzles
And
Wishes on eyelashes fail

Oooooh!
How do I show all the love
Inside my heart

Well this is all new
And I'm feeling my way through the dark

And I used to talk
With honest conviction
Of how I predicted my world
I'm gonna leave it to to star gazers
Tell me what your telescope says

Oh what is in store for me now?
It's coming apart

I know that it's true
'cause I'm feeling my way through the dark

Try to find a light on somewhere
Try to find a light on somewhere
I'm finding I'm falling in love with the dark over here

Oh oh what do I know I don't care
Where I start

For my troubles are few
As I'm feeling my way through the dark
Through the dark
I'm feeling my way through the dark


I hope this was enjoyed by all.
