Harry Potter

Watched Harry Potter IV last night. Enjoyable. I was disappointed what they did with the horses, though, they were supposed to be frightening. I liked the dragons, but I wished they had included Sirius at the end.

More on the hike later: must watch HPV at movie theater!

Cranky

I'm feeling cranky this morning. First, the treadmill thought I had flown away while jogging so it shut down immediately! *kills treadmill* So I had to estimate how far I went and add it to what I did after. It makes me unhappy.

I've got a doctor's appointment today... not fun. Bringing in laundry list of minor problems. *sigh* I'm leaving in ten minutes.

Me and dad went on a hike on Sunday in PA. It was awesome, the hills were great, it was a 6.6 mile hike that felt like a ten mile hike. Up and down hills constantly, rocks, my legs hurt so bad after... but it was wonderful. There were these little salamanders, I took a picture of one and I want to identify it. They were just so cute!

I have more pictures from there, and hopefully I'll be able to get them up shortly. But right now... *glances at clock* Eeek!

Relief

My scholarship got applied. Thank goodness. All I gotta do now is pay a few fees. And buy my Spanish book... I hope they take Discover. I'd better bring my checkbook just in case.

Got my highlights. Mom hates it. Dad hates it. I love it. Yep, they are bright red... but hey, at least I didn't get the violet. And I almost did. Now six, seven weeks until my next hair appointment.

I need to make an appointment with an advisor at CSU. The advising office is farming out everyone to their departments, so now I'll hopefully have a less flaky more knowledgable one. It's about time... the CSU advising office is known widely for their incompetance.

Me and Jeff had fun. We talked a lot. Unfortuately I woke up at 9:20, which is when we needed to leave. So mom drove him home while I went to work. Work was better... made $45.43 in tips. Whee!

Twenty and a half.

One hundred twenty and a half pounds. *commits suicide* That's it. I'm getting skinny--I'm just gonna do it already!

Picking up Jeff today. Feels like I never see him anymore. *sigh* At least once the school year starts it'll be more regular...

Me and Tracy going to the university on Friday. I need to pay my fees. My scholarship hasn't been applied, yet, though, which is making me nervous. I don't want to have to pay a late fee... I also need my Spanish books, and Tracy needs to check out the Social Work deparment for information on certification.

Yikes

LOL: I am a dork

I've got work today. Stopping by the bank, too. I've got a hair appointment on Thursday. I'm gonna get bright red highlights. Heh heh heh.

I'm starting to weigh myself daily. I was 119.5 today, which makes me happy... I'm on my way to 110. I hopped on the treadmill this morning, too. 2.3 miles. *pant pant*

Faire's Done

Obviously, as the title suggests, the faire is over. Life is over. Everything is bleak and bad and sad... I've got work today, tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Hardly see Jeff at all.

On the upside, I've been told that one of the directors in town is going to be doing a show at a theatre near Jeff's house. I've been there before... it's a great little theater. Lots of space backstage, audience on 3 sides of the stage. It's almost in the round. But I've been thought of for a particular role, which I'm certainly going to audition for. This is in the end of October, so I'll occupy myself with ushering and set construction in the meantime.

We found mom some fabric for her cloak. It's a velveteen, blue-green. Hey hey, rhymes! Now all I've got to do is make it.

Closing weekend shows were ok. Pretty much average, except for the very last show, where we just goofed off. It was funny, for us... the audience kinda wandered off. No surprise there. When actors are doing pillow fights onstage... :-P

I really need to do my laundry. Right now, work is going to be very uncomfortable as I try to fit into a way-too-tight skirt. Funness!

Birthday

It's my folks birthdays today. Yep, both. I've already given my mom her card, I think she liked it. My dad, I have his card around here somewhere. I think my mom has it. For Dad's birthday, I'm prolly gonna take him to a movie or something, and for my mom, I told her I'd make her a cloak. Tomorrow we're going to go to Joann's for fabric, at least once I find the pattern... I've made Jeff's cloak and my own, so it should be no big deal. Haha, that's what happens when you let your mom borrow your cloak at the faire... cloak-love is contagious.

I bought a dagger yesterday. Twenty bucks. It's still awesome. My mom spent $20 on a tarot reading, for curiousity's sake. According to it, the pleasure card rules my mom's reading. On one side of the card Mom had a man figure and a woman figure. The woman strong, independant, knows what she wants, and together with the man they are like "two peas in a pod". The other side had a active woman, who gets bored easily, moves from new thing to new thing, and the man there liked everything very structured and "this is the way it must be done". There's supposed to be trouble with the first pair, or that mum will disapprove of something there. On the other, things are supposed to improve. I don't believe in all this, but if it makes mom feel better, then hey.

It rained yesterday at the fair. First show of the day: Freakin' hilarious. Script and 4th wall out the window. Second show: Even funnier and wetter until Bill gets drenched, against his will. Me=PISSED. Third show: (now with Bill shivering uncontrollably) Let's just get this over. It was an interesting day. But the first show was funny. I mean, really funny. I was cracking up so bad onstage...

I have a full schedule today. Even though school hasn't started, I want a head start on my studying. I've put aside several hours today.
