The calm before the storm

     So hey.  It's been a while, right?  It feels like it's been months since I've been here.

     School started up the 18th and I've been nonstop running since it did.  I'm there from 10am-10pm, and it's a 30 minute drive, so I don't have any time at home save for a shower, a breakfast protein shake, and a microwave dinner.

     Remember how I was all bitchy because Domino's called me to ask if I'd made a mistake?  Turns out they really want me to make pizzas.  They are working around my schedule!  After orientation, I get to spend my weekends making pizzas for lazy fat bastards with attitudes.  I don't care, of course, because I'll be getting paid.  I also get 50% off. I'm going to eat so much goddamn cheesy bread.  It's a very good thing I'm taking two PE classes this semester.
     This also means I'm moving closer to my ultimate goal!  Which, of course, is to GTFO of Texas and rejoin my darling Pie in Arizona.
     Not that I despise Texas.  I'm rather fond of it, having lived here my entire life and no where else.  I just hate the humidity.  You need a snorkel to go outside.  Our record consecutive days WITHOUT rain is, like, two.  Actually, I think it's 45, but with how much water is in the air, I'm pretty sure my answer is more valid.
     You see, I got a taste of the closest thing to perfection, as far as weather goes, in Arizona and I'm hungry for more.  There was heat, but no humidity.  My hair didn't turn into a puff ball!
     When it "rained" over there, it was a light sprinkle in comparison to TX.  I actually told Pie's sister, "If you can't swim in it, it's not rain."

     So this is new territory.  I've never worked in the food industry before.  But I LIKE monotony and repetition.  I do my best work when I'm doing the same thing over and over again.  My favorite job was a temp job where I filed papers and folded 2,000 Christmas cards.  It's not much money, but anything is more than I had before.

     Auditions for Cabaret have been going on this week.  It's been explosively fun.  I've had so much fun on that stage, dancing the same routine over and over again and make up shitty choreography.  Walk this way.  Dance back and forth.  Look provocatively at a guy's crotch.  Giggle.  Dance some more.
     I'm really gunning for the lead, because this will be my first real performance (outside of "We Love Jesus Yay Christmas Let's Sing Old Songs" church plays).  I don't know if I'll get the lead, but I really hope I do.  I'll be happy to be on stage if I get there, no matter the part.
     Get this:  One of the other campuses is doing "Evil Dead The Musical," and I'm so fucking jealous.

     My body is completely sore.  I had weight training this week, and kickboxing starts next week (yay for pink gloves!).  I told Pie that I was going to have some damn sexy legs when this is over.  My legs, pardon my conceit a moment, are pretty much sexy already.  When this is done, they're going to be model worthy.  This is a good thing, because my Pie is a leg-loving man. <3

     I spent the last week or so knitting.  I made a hat for Pie's old best friend from high school, I made a baby hat and matching jacket for a family friend, and I also made a Cthulhu hat for one of my friends as an early/late birthday present.  I have just gotten halfway done with ANOTHER hat, which will have a series of hearts in a row in different colors.  THAT.  IS.  A.  PAIN.  It's probably going to be the most beautiful hat I've ever knit, but it's UNGODLY complicated in a way that makes baby heart surgery look like a 2-piece puzzle.

evil plotting

     So far, it's been pretty ordinary.  No real adventures this week.  I've been pretty stationary.  I feel like things are about to really take off, like I'm in a state of ease and relaxation.  Once the year really starts rolling, I'm going to be completely swamped.
     I'm gonna have to start writing up old adventures, because I'm nothing but ordinary lately, aren't I?  I'm pretty boring.  Sorry.

     But hey!  Here's a story to look forward to in the weeks to come:  Vagina-shaped cookies with cream-filling.  Yes.  This is happening.  And it's for school.  I'm not shitting you.  It's happening.  So stay tuned.
