Long time, no see:)

Well, plenty has happened since my last post.

-My freshman year of college ended, with a not so fun natural disaster.
-I'm three episodes away from the finale of Lost!
-I had to leave Tuscaloosa early, and am back in Mobile, free from final exams.
-I started working on the May issue of the magazine:D
-Tyler turned 18!
-The last three showings of Godspell were cancelled, along with finals and the rest of school:(
-Tyler's mom had surgery. She's doing well:)
-I'm going to start looking for a car this weekend!
-And with all this, I'm officially a Sophomore!

As for the natural disaster part, I'm sure you've heard of the record breaking tornado on Wednesday. Well it started in Tuscaloosa, where I go to school. Before it left it was a mile wide and had destroyed half our city, leaving hundreds dead. It didn't stop until North Carolina. None of the campus was affected, thankfully, but lots of students live off campus in those areas. We didn't have power for two days and the water supply for the city is contaminated still. My dad spent eight hours driving yesterday to come and get me after we found out finals were cancelled and I had no reason to stay in a "disaster area." I did miss Obama coming to the rubble, but I guess it's not too bad that I left. I have internet, hot water, electricity... which is more than I can say for all the people that are still in Tuscaloosa. I think power has been restored to parts of campus by now, but the rest of the city is still pretty much hell.

On a happier note, I'm so glad that I'm almost done with Lost! I'm sad I'll be out of episodes to watch but I'm glad to finally know what the hell is going on!!!

It feels weird being in Mobile right now. I wasn't supposed to be back until next weekend, everything happened so fast after the tornado. I also feel like I should be going back soon, even though I know I won't be back until the fall. Like I shouldn't unpack... like I don't live here for more than Spring Break incriminates of time... IDK. It just feels sad to be away from Tuscaloosa for three months.

Hello there!

Been a few weeks since I've posted last.

Opening weekend for Godspell is next Friday! That's in a week!!!! It's also Tyler's birthday:D

I've been writing alot more in my journal again lately. I fell out of the swing during Christmas break, and I didn't write every day last semester. I've been writing like a page a day, sometimes more. The other day I wrote five pages. I also like the way I never change the channel from Cartoon Network now. There's always something good on! Tom an Jerry around noon, then Ed, Edd and Eddy, then Billy and Mandy, then Courage the Cowardly Dog, sometimes some Regular Show sprinkled in there, and I'm always gone in between 5 and 9 so idk what comes on then, except for when I watch Adventure Time. Then by the time I get back, Adult Swim is on! Man, I love me some Adult Swim. That was a long rant about CN, sorry.

I get my two rolls of fisheye and underwater film tomorrow! I'm soooo excited! All the good stuff will be going on Flickr^_^ My pro account expires on the 18th:( So I'm trying to upload as much as I can before then. My 365 is over, so I might not even need to buy another year. I'll just have to be selective about what I upload if I start to run low. I only get 100MB a month, which is crap when I save all my photos in the highest quality possible. I can't wait to see how the pictures came out!!!!!!

Only three weeks of the semester left. I'm ready for SCHOOL to be over, but I'm not ready to go home! I don't want to be away from Tuscaloosa for three months:( And I'll be working at Waffle House again, bleh. Hopefully I'll do some weddings, though. And get a car. And go to the beach alot. And read alot. I must make myself read and watch lots of Netflix while I have the chance! I have to read so much for school that when I am given a break, reading is the farthest thing from my mind. I must also make myself chillax and listen to records more often. I don't do it nearly enough. Mostly because I like to do it at night and there's usually something happening at night. Either I'm at practice or shenanigans are going on in the Mallet house.

The April issue of the magazine is out! I'm kind of sad about it though, because this was the best issue yet, and it's cheaper, but it's only gotten 60 views. The last issue got over 500 by this time. Makes me sad:( But I did sell a copy! Just one so far. And I'll have my own copy of it when I go back home. Hopefully I can get another issue out in May and have two issues to show potential advertisers. I need some ad monies! I gots to go to college and stuff:/

This has been an incredibly long blog. So I shall cut it off here. I will keep finding stuff to talk about if I don't and it will progressively get more boring.

50th anniversary weekend!

Yep! That's this weekend! The Mallet 50th Anniversary. Which is code for "old-alumni-dudes-come-to-town-and-rain-free-booze-and-shit-on-us-eversary" :) Tomorrow night is the banquet, (FREE FOOD!) and partayyyyyy. Tonight is a chill, get drunk, and hang out night. I finally got off work (my back hurts:/) and now I'm chillin' in muh bed. Ate some ice cream, watching Coraline. Gotta get ready for the evening and go grab some dinner in a few. I'm so HUNGARY (;D) and ice cream didn't fill me up. Mostly because I can't handle too much at once. Sugar overlooooad!

OH GOD NAKED OLD LADY DRESSED AS A MERMAID! I forgot that was in Coraline. Scared me.

Laziness and excitement!

At the moment I am sitting in bed and watching TV. I am being SO incredibly lazy today, but I think I'll continue laziness until after rehearsal when I'll be wide awake.

We finally started blocking last night! I got so freakin' giddy the first time we started a run through from the beginning to "Day by Day." The lights were off, Calvin was performing his opening monologue, and we got to actually act for the first time since we started rehearsing! AHHHH I cannot wait until show weekends! I haven't performed in so long, I am so anxious to get this on the road! It's going to be a great show, I can feel it:)

On a heavier note, I have two math homeworks/quizzes due tomorrow:/ I MUST start on them tonight after practice because I know I won't get them both done by 3pm if I start at noon. Poo. 

Toodles.

Times like these...

It's nights like these that end at 4am and leave me exhausted with sore cheeks that I love. I'll remember them when I'm old and grey and realize I lived a great life. I'll know my youth wasn't wasted and my brief time on Earth was worth it. I'm young, wild, and living free and no one can take that away from me. It's memories like these that make me realize I never have reason to be sad. When I start feeling sorry for myself I want to kick myself! I say, "Megan, seriously? Of all the dimensions, of all the universes, of all the planets, of all the life forms, of all the countries, of all the tax brackets, of all the centuries and you were lucky enough to be here, right now. What the fuck do you ever have to be sad about?!"

And now I've gone off into a philosophy of science and life rant. But hey, I'm delirious. Can you blame me?

Looking up!

So because I quit working last fall to go to school, I thought I was going to get practically nothing back from tax returns. However, I found out I am no longer eligible to be claimed as a dependent, so I have to file without my parents. Now that I'm not a dependent anymore, I'm getting back $700!!! And I know I'm going to get SOMETHING from the wreck for a car, thought it may not be alot. But with this $700, I think I might have a shot of getting a car, however crappy it is! I can smell the new car. I can feel the interior on my cheek (my FACE cheek;) ), and I might even get a car with A/C this time!:D Maybe that wreck wasn't so bad, after all. We'll see. Hope is not lost!

And Spring Break finally quit shitting on me!!!!! Yesterday's shoot rendered some good photos, and I have another today at 4. Tomorrow is wasted because of doctor appointments and SR-13 forms, but hey, maybe the beach is in my future?:)

Spring HELL.

So far, Spring Break is the worst in history. I lost my actcard on Friday (which allows me to eat, get into my building, etc.) and I have to buy a new one when I go back to Uni, my microwave broken, my car is totalled, I might not even get enough money for it to get another one which means I can't get to work which makes it pretty damn difficult to pay for college, I'm not old enough to be issued a rental car, I have no way to go anywhere for the entirety of the break unless someone picks me up, I still had a half a tank of gas in my car when it was towed away, I just had my oil changed that Wednesday too, my ankle is sprained, I found out I have two metal pieces in my toe, I have to go to the doctor tomorrow for more sinus problems, my boyfriend's beautiful Les Paul got snapped in half in the wreck, I have to drive (excuse me, be driven) ALL the way back to Citronelle on Tuesday to fill out stuff for the wreck or else my license will be suspended, Tyler's car got hit the day after my car was killed, I had to cancel TWO photoshoots on account of not having a car anymore... Am I leaving anything out? Probably. SPRING BREAK, YOU OFFICIALLY SUCK.
