I seem to have forgotten to blog.
Which isn't a surprise, you see, because I have about 2172 old diaries and
blogs just hanging about my existence that only have two or so entries before I
forgot about them. My livejournal only thrives because blogging about random
internet things is much easier than talking about. So, taking a page from that
book, I will blog about random things.
First: thinking about the future. The first career I ever thought
about was teacher. Ever. You see, my dad cannot work due to a disability
(before that, he was a worker on the Erie Canal,
true fax) and my mom works for the state, so following my parents has never
been something I have considered and never will. But EVERYONE wanted to be a
teacher back then, it seemed. Now, I have come to the realization that my
patience with children is very small and that I hate teaching people (even my
peers; just do your own worksheets!). Lately I have been looking into three things:
journalist, printer (like, with the press and everything), and Pie maker (like
Ned, which would be a GREAT transition into piece number two, except I have
more to saaay). Today, it seems like being a journalist is the new teacher.
There are so many people I know who want to do that. Even though I have been
repeatedly told that it is the perfect career for me, I have to disagree. As
much as I love writing, I don't think I could cover something every day that I
most likely have no choice over (except freelance, which is daunting) and do
not care about. Blah. Printer seems FUN! I would love using all the typesetting
and inks. Pie maker is the profession of Ned on Pushing Daises (oh hai there,
Lee Pace in an apron) and I make good pies (well, I made my first one
yesterday, and my mom seems to keep inhaling it).
Second: Lee Pace! I think since I have subjected my mother, father, best
friend, livejournal friends, etc to mentions of his facial
expressions/adorableness, I should do the same for all you lovely people out
there. If you didn't know, Lee is Ned on Pushing daisies, he is very tall, and
his face was molded from birth to make the best facial expressions out there.
Currently, besotted and confused have to be my favorite, because he does them
constantly on PD*.
Other wonderful things include his acting (he will blow you away in Solder's
Girl, in which he plays the solder's girl and wow!) and his wardrobe on PD.
Seriously, there was this trench coat that I want (I enjoy suit-wearing).
Third: I wrote two essays: one about my hatred of change (the coins) and the
other about life in Albany,
NY (and what comes from living in
the much forgotten capital of NYS/shadow of NYC) on the train up from the
release party fun. If I can retrieve the notebook from my brother's car, they
should be up soon. :D
My firefox spell check doesn't work on here and my formatting sucks. I still
lurve you all.
