Tasty Cakes
Some things on my mind:
1. Does anyone else think that Katie Holmes looks like the rat Jenner from "The Secret of NIMH?" Am I alone on this?
2. JT hasn't updated his blog in a while...I'm thinking I might delete him from my favorites......
3. Addressing envelopes for weddings is tedious. Weddings in general are tedious. Oh, how I do struggle with tedium.
4. Nobody's reading this probably, but I don't care.
5. Just because no one understands you does not mean you are an artist.
6. Oprah is a pseudo-intellectual and pretty self-absorbed. First and foremost, she is an incredible actress. She's got most of America fooled into thinking that she is a woman of substance...Yet, I cannot turn away from the television.
7. The number of websites I check daily after school has increased to an absurd amount: MySpace, Facebook, Google, The Knot, Yahoo, Google again, Blogspot, eBay, and a few more. I'm addicted. Help me.

The Dumb Stuff People Do
One of the reasons why we remember the High School Years:
Every morning, just after the first period bell rings, the loudspeaker comes on and we all recite the Pledge of Allegiance, the Texas Pledge, and then observe a moment of silence.
Yesterday, some skateboarding-type, long-hair, emo students were playing hakky sak before school when their hakky got kicked onto the roof. One Freshman decided to shimmy up a drainpipe onto the roof (over 2 stories up) to retrieve it--and got stuck. Kids were cheering and yelling "jump!". Faculty, principals, & assistant principals were out of their MINDS trying to figure out how to get him down and punish him. The principal was livid.
The first period bell rang and all students went to class, with that guy still up on the roof. As the loudspeaker came on with our morning routine, they were still trying to get him down, but in the middle of all of it, the kid STOPS to recite the pledge, the Texas pledge, and then observe the moment of silence...I must give him credit for relatively good character, just poor, poor judgement. I will say, though, by the time he's a Senior, he'll probably be a living legend.
...He gets out of In-school Suspension sometime in November.

Follow-up, Stat.
Is anyone else slightly freaked out by the (now even more) very real concept of nuclear war? Not that I'm going to hunker down in a foxhole and wait for the apocalypse or anything...It just makes me a little nervous that just one crazy guy could totally eff it up for the rest of us by pressing a button. How did we get here, anyway?
So Here's the Long and Short of It
Here's basically what has happened in the last couple of months:
First, I rekindled an old friendship back in April which turned romantic. This, in turn, triggered a chain of events that began with me deciding to move back to Houston, where my boyfriend lives. I quit my carptentry job at Watertower Theatre in Dallas (where my motivation had begun to gradually decline, anyway, and I had serious doubts that they were going to extend my contract) and packed up my stuff, sublet my apartment that I had lived in for barely three months, and moved back home--literally, in with my parents. I landed a job at the High School I graduated from teaching Theatre Arts. Granted, teaching in my hometown was definitely not my first choice, but the starting salary is phenomenal for a first year teacher...more than anywhere else I could have applied (as a matter of tact, I won't reveal exactly how much). So now, I'm working on clearing up my credit so I can buy a car in the fall and move back out of my parents' place by the end of October. I am hoping to also move back to the Dallas area after a couple of years. I never really liked Houston and I miss Dallas already. It was difficult to make the decision to move away in the first place. I guess this is the part of my life where I'm off seeking my fortune. Wish me luck, and to all the friends I left in Big D: I love you guys and I'll be back before you know it.
So this is my new blog to represent my paradigm shift. I hope to do some more serious--and consequently more insightful--writing here. There's just something about MySpace that will not foster that type of revelation in me....now there's a mystery.
In other news: I've begun to capitalize letters that require capitalization according to the English language when I type. You know, like a grown-up.
