Well well well, long time no see, Tumblr!
Things have been quite busy up until quite recently! Christmas Ship is always a test of nerves, patience, and strength/longevity of coffee. But Pete and I made it through! Then came NYE, which I spent talking guys out of mooning people, taking away pot, and confiscating stolen champagne bottles and smuggled liquor as always. It kills me because it...

Maybe I belong in Nebraska. With cows. Who knows.
About a year ago, I wrote about my new job. Now, that job is far from new, and the friends I’ve made are becoming old friends. But I’ve started to let older pieces of my life fall away. I rarely sing anywhere that isn’t my room, for anyone. I hardly speak to my brother and sister, or friends from college. I see my boyfriend often, and I’m fairly certain the reason I feel...

Days Off
Whenever I start a new job, I’m guaranteed to like it because I like learning new things. I like proving my ability to adapt and to do well. But this job is a little different.
I can grow here, and the feeling of being on the water everyday, and the accountability that comes with that, is so freeing. I am fluid, it feels like I am almost part of the water, like how I feel when I swim. I...

Ummm....
Okay I feel like I should update, since I’m pretty sure it’s been forever since I last wrote here.
I got into Ohio State University, so I’ll be going there next fall (yippee!!!!)
I got a job being a deckhand/bartender/server/narrator on a tour cruise company in Seattle’s Elliott Bay.
I LOVVVVVVE my job, even though I’m bruised, cut up, and battered thanks to...

“Music is the shorthand of emotion”
– Leo Tolstoy (via brokenmachine)
Oh boy...
Here are the facts:
I met a guy. He is 24, cute, smells good, and is very forward. He plays pool, has about a bajillion degrees, and can pretty much do anything in existence. He has a litte boy who is just over a year old. He gave me his sunglasses, and his number. Kaelen took a picture of us together.
It has been two days, and I have not called him. In all honesty, I don’t plan on calling...
2 Observations:
1) “Gives You Hell” by the All-American Rejects sounds a hell of a lot like the beginning of “True Affection”, by The Blow. I love it when things like this happen…
2) For the same reason that girls named Jennifer cannot date a guy named Ben, I cannot date or marry anyone named Brad, or Billy-Bob. I don’t think the latter will be a problem… :p
Shove It
By Santogold (Santigold now, I guess, thanks to the stupid infomercial jeweller, Santo Gold… pfft)
The chorus is “we think you’re a joke, shove your hope where it don’t shine.”
Yeah, I definitely think it would have been hilarious if the Repubs had used it as their anthem this past election, though I’m sure Santi would have a shitfit :) (And no, it...

Every morning, I wonder what will happen to me. Rarely do I decide what I will make happen. I have always thought, or rather, hoped, that good things happen to good people. But I’m just starting to realize that good things do not come via one hard and fast rule. Good things will happen because of us. Bad things will happen, also because of us. Everyday, we decide what will happen.
We assume...
There are times...
When I fucking love my life. Today was one of those days. A yayer…
Okay. I will admit it.
I am slightly lonely. And I want a boyfriend. One who makes me laugh and giggle all the time. That is all.

Oh my god, Does this mean that JONAH HILL, PAUL RUDD, SETH ROGEN, and JASON SEGEL could be the 4 man crew?
Clean-up on Aisle Three*

oh man
Not gonna lie, I would love to see JA’s attempt at G3, but I’m skeptical. Also, LOVE the Jizz In My Pants reference. LOLZ.
Screenplay!
Okay so - the screenplay I’ve been orking on for months now is about 1/10 complete. This feels like an IMMENSE accomplishment, considering I’m doing this just because I want to. I have to say though, it’s slightly autobiographical, but it’s friggin amazing.
Let’s just say that my version of the Black Swan is the Red Herring. Totally clichéd and terrible inside joke...
Decisions, Decisions.
Talked with Taylor today, and it made me consider a few things. I definitely need a change of scenery. Where Seattle used to be awesome before, lately it’s become stifling. I love my parents, but I need to get away, I need my freedom. There isn’t a job market for me here. I hate to say it, but once my dad is gone, my mom will most likely move to Chicago, and I would go with her. Other...

WHY do artists play White River Amph? It’s only slightly better than the Tacoma Dome. (Which means it’s only a tenth better than hell.) Thank, No Doubt (meh, Paramore.)
On the flipside, I’ve definitely been singing “I’m on a Boat” all day to the point that my mom started singing along with me.
I applied to OSU today. Part of me wants to go just for the NCAA...
Christ.
I would like to say that years of performing has made me immune to pre-audition jitters. But I have to say, that would be a bold-faced lie. Because, in all reality, I have never had to audition. Maybe once or twice for singing. (Not to sound like a complete and total utter jackass —) But Vashon and Aurora weren’t that big, and it was very easy to become well known. When people see my...
A Major
Pain in the freaking butt is what I would call the prep for this audition. Sure, I love all the songs. And sure, my trio will bring the figurative house down, but since I’m fully in charge of every aspect of the creation of this audition, and seeing how muchI have invested in it, it’s freaking me the fuck out.
For example, I chose to perform He Was Too Good To Me, from the musical...

Nothing againsts guitarists (now I am one) — but there’s a reason why there’s the saying “If you’re playing for compliments, get a guitar.”
Now for my fave guitarist jokes:
—-How do you get a guitar player off of your front porch ? ——-Pay for the pizza.
—-How many guitar players does it take to cover a Stevie Ray Vaughn...
Skins.
I have it to thank for reminding me to listen to the rest of Santogold’s album. ‘Shove It’ really is amazing. Even if I’m not in the mood for reggae. I still maintain that the intro is the best part. The lyrics are second best. Badass, I tell you.
