"Merry Christmas Darling" - The Carpenters |
] |
The more I really think about the Christmas story, the more I like it. The more I really, truly think about the reality of the story we have glossed over to us since childhood. The more I think about how young and scared Mary was, how dirty that barn was, how the human incarnation of the God we worship was wrapped in rags, I fall more in love with Christmas. We all get so caught up in it all. And the lights, the mistletoe, the presents, they’re great, they really are. But they’re great because they do one thing: bring people together. That’s what the holidays, yes holidays, are supposed to do. We get caught up in trying to figure out what this season is all about, and we miss it. We miss it. We miss the fact that it’s holding hands with your mother during candlelight service, while missing calls on your phone from people who love you. It’s calling them later, curling up with classic movies and cocoa. It’s a voice on Christmas Eve that, no matter how many miles away the speaker is, keeps you warm. It’s about a moment in time, a moment when the world came together, and, if you happen to subscribe to a Christian belief system, something wonderful and divine showed up in our world. Showed up in our world without anything going for him, wrapped up in scraps of clothing in a barn, laid in troth. Came into a world that was messy, hung out with messed up people and died a messy death. To me, the Christmas story is about the fact that whatever it is that’s divine out there, it’s, he or she, is not afraid of a mess. It is not afraid of our messed up lives. To me, it’s about the fact that tomorrow can be better than today, and that we can help it be so. It’s about being with the people you love and seeing what you can do together. “And this shall be a sign unto you, you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger” That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown. 2006 is almost over. 2006, the year I graduated, the year I left Texas, the year I went to college, the year I found everything I was searching for. 2007 is new. 2007 is scary. And 2007 could be the greatest thing to ever happen to me. I’m having a great time, I have great friends, I’m in New York and I’m in love. At this moment, life couldn’t be better. Merry Christmas everyone.

So remember how I was going to start writing in my LJ all over again when I went to college?
Well, the IT department can suck my nuts, because it's about a month and a half into college and I don't have the fucking internet. Gross.
Anyway, life here has been good. New York is fabulous in every way possible. I love my acting classes and my acting teacher. And I love the people I've met. IT's pretty much fantastic.
I'm on a TV kick right now. I'm obsessed with renting whole seasons of shows and watching them back to back. So far I've gotteen through all of Grey's Anatomy, most of the first season of Big Love and I'm starting The Office and Six Feet Under. Woot!

List ten things you want to say to people you know but you never will, for whatever reason. Dont say who they are. Use each person only once.
- I only care about you as a friend. A very good friend, but still just a friend. But I want you to fall in love with me.
- I don’t see how I was ever friends with you.
- For years I saw you as my best friend, and now I know that you feel the same way about me. You are truly amazing.
- I love you.
- I don’t think that I will ever find another friend who means as much to me as you do. I wish your family was mine.
- I’ve been jealous of him for 2 years. I feel like you picked him over me.
- I lied to you more times than I can count, but it was only to protect you. I didn’t want you to have to choose between us.
- You still show up in my dreams…and I hate it.
- I know now that I don’t have to impress you. I’m sorry I tried to hard. Thank you for loving me anyway.
- If you ever said you could live in a city, I would kiss you right then and want to keep on kissing you forever.

That would also mean the book of face. Which would be NICE MARYMOUNT. THANKS.

Ah, well, that's just the way things go.
I've gone through worse shit than this. Gimmie a couple of days, and maybe some ice cream and I can do it.
I just hope I can't still watch Pride and Prejudice when it comes out.
I'm glad it's her though. If it had to be anyone, I'm glad it's her.
I was so worried about all these other things, when the truth was right in front of me. But I didn't see it, I didn't want to see it.
Well, there you go.

Bah. So it's been an odd day.
Or odd week actually.
Jazz show was quite good, not counting the nervous breakdown I had post-show.
Watching Futurama, which is highly underrated may I add.
My dog has a bee sting, which sucks cause it makes me do that "awwwhineprotectprotect" thing.
I've also been watching Gray's Anatomy like it's crack. Not that you watch crack. As amusing as that would be.
Blargh.

So it's been for ever since I've updated this thing.
But that's what happens when you're in theatre. By the way I'll probably be transferring an angsty entry over here so prepare yourselves.
Anyway, so, One-Act this year. Pride and Prejudice, everyone hates it except Nick Moore, we advanced to District and we compete tommorow.
FUN!
Also, I think Read Or Die is slowly taking over my life. Dang it.
Also also, my room is now a very calming purple.
Anyway, I'm kinda of in that "I was really upset just a moment ago but it's going to be okay so I really love life right now even though there's not really a good reason but now that I think about it there is cause I am alive and not dying or starving or living in a war ravished country"
Yes my father is a part-time missionary, why do you ask?
Anyway, I love you all!
And I yelp to Rhiawian!
And Shannon and Kaptain, cause I love you!
Now, off you Fruits Basket, Naruto, and Imadoki!

"Past the Point of No Return" |

I'm sure every Phantom fan out there said something (loudly most likely) at least once during the course of the movie experience. I was just wondering what you yelled.
I yelled several things:
"DAMN!" or "(shaky voice)ahhhoooohhh" whenever the Erik did something with the cloak. OOOOhhhh, the cloak. oooh, erik. Sorry, stopping.
"Awww" on the rooftop scene with Raoul and Christine (he annoyed me alot less in the movie)
"(tragic oh-no!) "awww" at the roofscene when Erik cries. (OMGOSH! That was the most sad...aww...oh, just ...awww)
"ooooh" during Point of No Return
"AWWWWWW" at the end of point of no return when Erik kneels
"AWW BITCH!" when Christine rips of his mask.
And then the endless, loud, very loud, loud as in the people in front of me turned around, the people around me worried, and my friend hit me, sobbing. Sobbing that as soon as I thought it stopped something else happened, and I continued with the sobbing. I was such a mess coming out of the theatre. I'm sure I was quite a sight, leaning on Kathy as we exited, sobbing, and tripping all over myself. Anyway, wonderful movie.
So what did you yell?
At the moment, the award goes to my friend Kathy for turning to me after the movie and referring to the Phantom screamed "I CANT HATE HIM!!!"
I bet you guys can beat that though.

"Sometimes It Be that Way" Jewel |
] |
I was thinking today about how sad Thanksgiving is. I mean, it's a holiday celebrating the union bettween our two main groups of ancestors, who later would end up killing each other.
But maybe Thanksgiving is like life. Cause when you think about it, all those images we have from our childhood of the pilgrims and Indians sitting around the table is true. At that moment in time, nobody knew what was gonna happen. Adn sure maybe things didn't turn out so awesome later, but none of them knew that. All they knew was at that point in time everything was okay.
Maybe that's kinda depressing, but when you think about it, it works the other way too. Maybe all you know right now is how sad you are, or how bad things are, but things invitably get better. It's just that annoying period of waiting on that to happen.
And your problems probably aren't as bad as your race getting wiped out, but your only in high school and they seem pretty big. And maybe when you look back on Thanksgiving it makes you sad, but soon you'll be able to look at it for what it was. A happy time, a happy moment. And things are better now. I mean, I'm here, my great-great-grandparents lived, and had my great-grandparents, who had my grandparents, who had my parents, who had me.
So maybe high school, or life, or whatever is like thanksgiving. Because friends nad pilgrims will come and go. And for all of us, wether we know it or not, God is always there.
So I'm thankful for alot this thanksgiving. Like Kirah, Kaptian, BoB, Cliff, Harrison, Shannon, Hope, Brittany, Mikki and Sibby too. Because the fun times we've had or will have can never "un-happen". No matter what we go, what we do, we still had fun, and I guess that's what it's all about anyway.
So thanks to everyone for your sweet little notes, it's been an emotionally draining few days, but that comes with the hormone territory.
Love to all of you!
Catie
