Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

THE FILM
My director expected we would finish filming last Thursday or Friday. Two of the girls in the film told us they’d be two hours late on Thursday, but then decided not to show up at all. Four hours after we started, we went home having done next to nothing. We filmed very late on Friday, but they messed up our schedule and we didn’t finish. We’re hoping to finish filiming on the 7th. I’m not optimistic we’ll finish though.
TELEVISION
The Style Network has this funny game show called Craft Corner Deathmatch. Have you seen it? On the show, two amateur crafters compete against each other for a chance to compete against the Craft Lady of Steel. The stage is set up to look like a fight club or something equally as brutal, and I think that’s half the appeal. Not that I don’t like craft shows, but the fact that they make fun of themselves makes it that much more entertaining.
BUH BYE TEXTILES
I’ve been trying to withdraw from my textiles class this week. Unfortunately, the deadline for single class withdrawls was in March. My options are to audit the class (with permission), get an incomplete in the class (with permission), or fail the class since I’ve decided not to finish up the semester. I took the class for fun, but I’m all “funned” out. First, I have a two and a half hour wait between my morning class and my textiles class. Second, I don’t get home before the boys’ bus drops them off, so I need to rely on someone else to pick them up everyday after school. Third, I’ve gained just about all I can possibly gain from the class. It won’t count toward my major, since I already have more electives than I can possibly need. So what’s the point in finishing? Basically, I would be working just to maintain my GPA, and I just don’t care enough about it at this point. I CAN GRADUATE IN DECEMBER! Now if I could just convince my professor to grant me an audit.

My mom invited me to go with her to the casino this past weekend. She’s been hesitant to invite me because she’s afraid I’ll get addicted to gambling, but my dad hasn’t been feeling well enough to go with her, so she gave in and asked me instead. My dad gave me $100 to play blackjack. I managed to repay him the $100 and still come home with $280. Not bad for a beginner, huh? As fun as it was, I can definitely say I’m not addicted. The crowds, the smoke, the noise… it was like being in a club. And anyone who knows me knows I only tolerate going to a club to see my favorite band.
GREEN!
My lawn service started the first application today. It’s official. Spring is here!
The US university system confuses me no end. All this GPA would not suit me at all. I rely on being able to catch up later after all my slacking, and I can’t do that with continous assesment! Still, huge final exams are not fun…
THE FILM
That sucks that the filming isnt going according to schedule. But hey…you’re working with actors, people known for having big-as-fuck egos…so…whaddya gonna do, huh? And if anything, at least this experience gives you the pros and cons of movie magic!
TELEVISION
WTF?! Who puts crappy shows like that on TV? And why am I barely hearing about it til’ now?!
BUH BYE TEXTILES
Well, normally, I’m not for people dropping their classes and stuff, but if it’s just a waste of time, then I support your decision to drop the class. Although, really, I’m just trying to find someone else to support me in my decision of dropping my writing class…LOL

Lucky…I cant wait til’ I turn 21 so I can gamble my life savings away!
GREEN
Seriously, it’s green grass that makes spring, spring, you know? Of course, the closet thing we have here in Tucson is astro turf, but it’s better than nothing!
I know this really isn’t the point, but I could totally see you showing up on one of those HGTV, Design shows. Wait, I hear Paige Davis is on the outs. Perhaps they will be thinking replacement? jk…:)
Nick, how does your school system work over there? No GPAs? Do tell!
David, these actors are very unprofessional. I’ll talk more on that later.
Janet, if you find that they’re looking to replace Paige, send ‘em my way!
Craft deathmatch? That made me laugh! Came by Janet’s site.
Welcome, Mrs. Mogul! Craft Corner Deathmatch sounds more like an SNL skit than a real show, don’t you think?
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
