What do Raiders of the Lost Ark, JFK, and a machine shop girl have in common? ME!!!

Hey all!

Well what a nutso day already! I'm going to steal Maryanne's format slightly cuz I think it's so gosh-darn cool and truly reflective of how my day has been going. Here goes:

WHAT I'M WEARING: Jeans, a SNAGGED (as of today...grrrr) green and torquoise sweater with a flamboyant torquoise flower pin, torquoise watch, and silver and torquioise earings. Guess I'm feeling torquoise and "flamboyant," aka GAUDY. lol...It's fun to be a little "off" :-)

FLAMBOYANCY EXPLAINED: I just got an acting role in the Tommy Douglas movie! Kate and I went and were expecting to have to read a script or something today, but we just walked into the Multipurpose Room at Univ and he told us we are going to be in a group of about 100 students to whom T Douglas will speak. That's the part being filmed on Saturday, March 5, and then we have another (bigger) role on Sunday, March 6, hence my new name, "Machine Shop Girl #7." On Sunday we're going to be a part of a small group of women standing in a machine shop listening to people talk about our hubbies who are off at war. Pretty cool, huh? The guy who was doing casting was HILARIOUS. He said, and I quote, "Being part of the movies is a great experience if you've never been a part of it before--well great for the first two days...until you're bored, old, and washed up like me." Man he was a good recruiter. HA. I don't care about HIM though, b/c I'm gonna be a star!!! This is my big break! Who wants to be an English teacher anyway, right Kate? teehee

WHAT I'VE EATEN: A no-meat (it was $2 more for meat!!) Taco salad at the Owl. They have really good food. Of course I ate a reallllly spicy taco salad complete with hot salsa and jalepenos RIGHT before we went for casting...maybe the guy just gave me my part so I'd get out of there quickly without making a fuss so he didn't have to smell my fire-breathing breath any longer than he had to...hmmm...but in other news, I hope I never stop being able to tolerate spicy food. THAT would be tragic!!!!!!

PROJECT PROCRASTINATION: I have just finished watching the 30 Hour Famine video that I got in the mail today. I'm pretty excited about it. Now I'm going to get into shorts and a hoodie and get cozy and read in my underused reading chair in my room before I have to get dressed tonight and go back to yet another class--OH BOTHER...that's one thing about joining the bloggosphere...i could waste a whole day just sitting here typing and responding to others' blogs. WOW.

EMOTIONS (A necessary component to any blog): Absolute Hilarity--just watched a video that I accidentally took of Kate and I at the casting session this afternoon when we were just going to take a picture, but found out the hard way that the setting was on video. HA!! that was hilarious, and NO, KATE, I'm NOT going to delete it! woh woh woh. Immense Relief: So I talked to Steve last night and was VERY relieved to hear that he and the three other guys in the bathroom didn't actually shower! lol...at least that's the story he TOLD me. Confirmation--Vince Lombardi, WAS, in fact, a NFL coach who was incredibly inspirational. That one was stressing me out...haha! Confusion--So yesterday I discovered that JFK and I apparently have a lot in common..YA...ANYWAY. So apparently when I tried finding my "movie equivalent," my personality is that of Indiana Jones' Raiders of the Lost Ark:

What Classic Movie Are You?

I guess one of my favorite rides at DisneyLand was Indiana Jones--EXCEPT the cobra part. that was terrible. Not as terrible for me as for my mom, but still terrible. I LOVED the part where the ginormous rolling ball is going to run you over in your Jeep.

So I suppose it's safe to say that another one of my emotions right now is anticipation. I feel anticipatory b/c I am apparently adventure-seeking...which I can see. BUT what adventures have i taken lately besides hiding in a closet in an attempt to escape a hypothetical drenching? hmmm...that's a good question. I guess I'll have to get on that one. This warm weather is making me want to be outside and backpacking or something. Maybe Linden and I will have to go somewhere backpacking this summer. What do you say, Lil' Bro? Sleep in the car? Go across the States? That would be FUN!!

I am also feeling anticipation b/c the day is not yet done and EPSY 326 (Consultation, Collaboration and Change for Students with Special Needs) class tonight will be eventful b/c of this guy named Jack who sits behind me and always comes up with the craziest comments...he's going to rock as a teacher. The very first class the prof asked what we would do in a certain situation if a student were to act in the way he had just finished describing. Jack's response? "Club him over the head." Ah, Jack. I would like to see you in action, I really would. When we chat he talks about smoking up and stuff...I just try not to laugh. He's a character and a half.

OK...so now that I've WRITTEN a book vs. READING a book like I'm supposed to be doing, I'll be going.

Thanks for all your hilarious replies! Keep them coming!!!
