Well, its that time of year... there are trees popping up in places that confuse nature, there are Christmas commercials jangling at us and most importantly... I get to eat a chocolate every single day! I like to think back on what I was doing this time last year... starting my job at vue, I think... yup, New Moon was running its course and Avatar was a week or so away from release and I was mostly cut off from the world or sanity or something- I'd hardly spoken to anyone outside my mother and brother, a bunch of cats, a dog and the babies we had... I got far less sleep then, shift work combined with unholy babysitting hours was a nightmare, I can tell you!
You know what though? I have done, like, so much stuff this year... I worked a lot, and it began to feel like that was all I did- babysit... work... eat... sleep... But; I auditioned for a few Universities, got into university, went to hong kong, dyed my hair for the first time, went to my first convention, was featured in a sci fi magazine, met adam baldwin (stand up bloke- though if he was sat down we'd be on a better eye line hehe), met kyle newman (director of fanboys!!), moved out of home, met a boy, do my university stuff.... I remember last year I woke up at like 5am every morning to listen to stage right on blogtalkradio, good times, though, if I'm honest, I probably should have taken those couple of extra hours' sleep.

Thing is... last year, I really wasn't all that happy a person. I smiled a lot, and said smiley things- but i was like alone for a long time. Pretty much all of my friends had moved away, I was sat around doing not a lot- couldn't afford to do anything really, didnt have anyone to do it with anyway. I remember crying all night before my audition to UEL- thinking I was going to fail miserably, and also that i had pissed off everyone. Now I really hate thinking that i've upset someone or made them angry- if the idea so much as goes into my head, I confess it- my eyes well up and I try to run away so they won't know- which then makes me think that I'm pissing them off even more because they think I'm ignoring them... I'm getting off track- This year is going a lot better (so far) I'm doing what I love, aggravating as it is at times, I'm around people who I can talk to and be silly with, its just... better. I love my mom, I really do- but I really needed to get away from home.
Back to the time of the year- its brilliant- I'm going home for a couple of weeks in about 18 days, got three essays to write over the holiday, oh... did I mention I have two performances i the next two weeks? oh yeah, its going to be grand! I dont know *what* we're doing in one of them, and the other is a public performance... anyone can watch and we're doing some pretty weird stuff...
Well, I'm not entirely sure where i was going with this post, or what I'm even talking about anymore, so I'll say 'toodles!'
