There's a part of me that is quite domestic. I have not honed this aspect of myself, but I know it's there. I find myself drifting towards cookbooks at Barnes and Noble. I look for foodie blogs. I constantly wish I had more ingredients so I could create something some what interesting. I am quite possibly a culinary genius underneath all my only-makes-bologna-and-cheese-sandwiches exterior.
I would really like to delve into cooking. I have a most likely outdated feeling that I will never get married if I can't cook. The same thing goes for football, but I don't think I'll ever understand any sort of sport. Maybe pretending is all that is necessary?
What is hard is finding out where to start developing my cooking prowess. Should I buy a bunch of ingredients and teach myself how to cook the basics? Or should I find a specific recipe and work from there?
Over Winter Break, some friends and I prepared a dinner complete with my Mommy's famous macaroni casserole, salad, and Martinelli's. It was a wonderful feeling. I felt so grown up! I like feeling grown up. This is why I drink coffee and walk briskly like I have somewhere important to be. Which I usually don't.

STRESSED.
I feel very stressed about the upcoming weeks.
I am monumentally busy from now until Spring Break. This is going to be difficult to survive. This coming week is all run throughs for Miss Julie, followed by tech. Tomorrow I have four classes, one of which will involve test taking, Directing Scene auditions, then rehearsal, which will go on until God knows when. Main stage auditions are either next week or the one after that. Hopefully the one after that. I am just now attempting to memorize the monologue I have chosen. Shakespeare is a cruel mistress.
My monumental busy-ness (typing business when the intended pronunciation is busy-ness doesn't seem right) has made me relish my days off and weekends, especially these past two which were spent at home. When I'm at home I feel like it's an actual break from school, which means no busy-ness.
What I need is Spring Break. I really really really need Spring Break. Why do I let responsibilities, like memorizing monologues, wait until the last minute??
Spring Break cannot come soon enough.

It's All About Me.
So there's this note going around on Facebook that requires the author to write twenty five things about his or herself and then tag twenty five people they want to know twenty five things about. I already filled one of these out, but I feel I didn't do a good enough job. So here's round two.
Twenty Five Things About Me (In No Particular Order)
1. My brain is a big old mess of thoughts that other people probably don't think about. Even if they do think these thoughts, they definitely don't verbalize them. Which I do. Or try to, anyway.
2. I have an unhealthy obsession with material possessions, but I don't think I'm a particularly shallow person. I just tend to validate myself based on what I have in some situations.
3. My ultimate goal is to be worth something. I don't mean by doing something like curing Cancer (which I probably don't have the smarts for but if I could, I would), but something more along the lines of being recognized nationally as a talented actress.
4. I really really really enjoy reading books. I normally only read Bestsellers, but I generally flock to humorous memoirs, fictional novels that deal with some interesting theme, or more frequently, ones that deal with women in their twenties or thirties, looking for love while wearing designer clothing.
5. I really enjoy opening unopened things. This includes food items, text messages, presents, and pretty much anything else you can think of.
6. I might be an Insomniac. It quite frequently takes hours for me to fall asleep, even if I'm extremely tired. I just lie in bed and think too much.
7. I have to move to New York in the next couple of years. I won't feel successful until I've made it there. Something about Manhattan makes me feel much more at peace. I love it.
8. I'm really awkward. I'm completely fine around people I'm fairly comfortable with, but put me in a new situation or around people I don't know at all, I can't formulate coherent thoughts or sentences. This is a problem.
9. I love things that are funny. Everyone does, but I rarely find things that I find to be ridiculously funny. When I find something that actually makes me "LOL," I watch it over and over and over again.
10. I really enjoy things that are tailored to me. I love anything with my name on it. I love individual critiques in my acting classes. I think this just stems from me being self-centered.
11. I really go out of my way to not upset other people. If I'm sleeping around other people and need to wake up to an alarm, I'll put it at a very low volume that will only wake me up. I try not to text people before 11:30 am. The list goes on.
12. When I think someone's mad at me, I get a knot in my stomach and can't concentrate on anything else until I know for sure that every thing's okay. This gets in the way of lots of things.
13. I love things that are aesthetically pleasing. I'm obsessed with models, clothing, purses, etc. This kind of ties in with my being materialistic, but it's more just that I love finding beauty in things. So less materialistic things, like art, are also aesthetically pleasing to me.
14. I love Audrey Hepburn. I wish I could be as classy as she was. She has this element of sophistication and elegance that I strive for (in my own way).
15. I'm boy crazy. If I like someone, they're the only ones I like. I'd like to think of my liking certain people as not creepy, but they're pretty much all I can think about.
16. Warm weather makes me so freaking happy. When it's really nice outside, I like to spread my arms out, look up at the sky and spin around. And then shout "I LOVE THE WEATHER!"
17. There are a lot of things I miss about high school. I would love to relive just one day. BUT I would not want to move back in time and go through it all over again.
18. I like to plan my wedding in my spare time. I don't have a fiance, or even someone who could potentially be a fiance. I simply enjoy creating the perfect wedding.
19. I may be weird and loud, but I'm pretty traditional underneath. I have traditional goals set, like getting married, having a family, blah blah blah. As eccentric as I am, I have such vanilla goals. So sometimes I find myself to be kind of an oxy moron.
20. I need to one day own a Chanel purse.
21. I think I have too much in common with women in their thirties. Bridget Jones is my fictional counterpart. Well, besides the whole Colin Firth part. Which I would be more than happy to have as well.
22. The only things other than acting that I could see myself doing are something in the psychology world or book editing.
23. I am so over college.
24. I think I'm an over-achiever underneath all the slacker tendencies.
25. Writing twenty five things about myself is really hard...but it appeals to my narcissism.

Time To Be You're Twenty-One.
So I have been twenty one for over a week! It feels superb. Since my last post, I found my passport and received my State ID. Unfortunately, Friday's didn't seem to think my ID was real, so the waitress spent a good long time examining it. Methinks I need to go to the MVA again and trade it in for an over twenty one copy.
Only having class on Tuesdays and Thursdays is fabulous. However, rehearsals are hurting my body. Naoko is a powerful beast packed in a small body. I am still sore.
Tonight I have rehearsal from 5-6:25, and then 7:30-10. This should be interesting.
