trying to read a book i've only gotten 60 pages through before... cuz it's triggering.. But i feel like i can read it this time.

made it to the 3rd round of interviews for the secretary position at the Vallejo Unified School District. one of 3 out of 40something that tested.. GO ME!

possibly going to Long Beach for Thanksgiving.. good to see family.. but emotional anxiety overflowing.

Hung out with Ben twice recently and talked a lot of things out.. He will always be my best friend. No matter what. and we accept that. He's the one i can go to and talk to about anything and feel the most comfortable with. we will never loose each other.. if we can go to to a party together and see the reason why we didn't talk for a year.. and just laugh it off and continue our night together having fun... then all is well. :)

if i get this job, then i think i will finally, after all this talk, practice and audition for the Rats.

painting a lot!

new keyboard is AMAZING!

i should sleep, but as i have nothing to do tomorrow except work on the pinata for Marco's niece's b day party, and paint or sew... then i think i will stay up a bit longer... have another PBR, and watch an episode of Big Love on demand before passing out. Lazy day with Marco today was nice and relaxing.

Love and miss you all.

<3 it's my birthday! And I'm pretty darn excited about it this year... Nothing big going on.. but internally, I'm excited.. Which is a whole lot better then a few other years...

Love!

Theater -See How We Are is going well, had my costume fitting today. Next weekend is the start of tech. When did that happen? I love how gloriously bloody this show is going to be.. And for my first show out of my comfort zone (Berkeley) I'm glad, and knew it'd be a Jon Tracy show. I mean c'mon.. an all white stage, all white props... all white costumes... with blood that drips down the walls, and from the ceilings and mouths and cups... it's so.. intense.. and it's all Oedipus based. I'm glad to be a part of it.

Work -Got a job.. finally! haha the temp agency proved to help me little to none.. well... none... so i started to go out looking for jobs on my own.. after biting the bullet I went into Game Stop (the one outside of the mall, next to Barnes and Noble, yeah... the B&N where Marco works...) They were not hiring Game Advisors, the starting position... but i mentioned I'm a previous employee, and a previous key holder, and they were all about it.. I got an interview, and then a 2nd with the District Manager, and i aced both! (I even told myself to just be honest about my past with the company and what I had issues with and all that.. and i freaking loved my interview and they turned out so well.. I guess 2 years at Fusion really helped me figure out how to deal with customers and employees and know what to do in so many situations... sooo yay! i got the job!) (basically) They will be calling me tomorrow to let me know when i start.. since the actual manager of that store has been on surgery leave or something, they want to give him the option to "meet" with me or not, before i start. And I will be starting as a key holder (3rd or 4th) so I am excited. It's a lot less pay then I was getting at Fusion, but 5 min from my house.. ! :) and I'm back in the gaming world and the company has made some changes that I really approve of

Love Life -Marco and I are doing fabulously.. I actually stayed at his house for the last 3 nights.. and it was great. I love being around him, and it's just getting better and better for once. I'm a happy girl.

uuuuh... other then that.. things are okay. It's almost my birthday, and I'm waiting for Mana to have her freaking baby! (come on!!!!!) hehe.. and for this banana nut bread to finish cooking so I can boozingly devour it~

Much Love to all. I miss everyone. <3333

Arty Awards..

I was nominated for an Arty Award for leading Female, for my role in School of Jesus Fish. Silly little Solano County awards for theatre, and I probably *wont* win. But I was nominated.

I grew up going to those shows…. performing in them with my children’s theatre casts… and I’d get all dressed up and go and cheer for my older friends that were nominated for real shows… I dreamed of being nominated, and never thought I would me.. as I was/still am not a real actor… and yet.. I finally got my nomination. Go me!

Ben just surprised me at work with a “Happy last 2 days of work!” gift.. Cheez-its, and a coke. I love my best friend.

So I started a tumblr.. located... here http://anglesandall.tumblr.com/

Tomorrow is my last day at Fusion.. HOLY crap I'm excited! I need out of here.

<3 Life is good.

The very hidden baby in this last one.. scares me.. hehe

The 613 Kinds of Sadness by Brod D.

The following encyclopedia of sadness was found on the body of Brod D. The original 613 sadnesses, written in her diary, corresponded to the 613 commandments of our (not their) Torah. Shown below is what was salvageable after Brod was recovered. (Her diary’s wet pages printed the sadnesses onto her body. Only a small fraction [55] were legible. the other 558 sadnesses are lost forever, and it is hoped that, without knowing what they are, no one will have to experience them.) The diary from which they came was never found.

Last weekend was amazing. Saturday was Lanea and Travis' wedding. So wonderful. And getting to hang out with Kim, made it even better! Dive bar after the reception? Hell yes.. Walking in to find my boyfriend there with some of his friends... was great! And Sunday Marco and I had our date day, and drove the hour out to my old town, so I could take him to see Transformers on a REAL IMAX screen.. We ran into my Livermore crew (gosh I miss them) and had Indian food at my favorite place. Then went back to his place to watch the original Transformers cartoon movie.
