(stink eye provided bymikki schaffner)Makes me Cry.
Makes me Laugh.
The latter coming from my amazing ability to make friends in this strangely isolated place. It's a video my new friend Joe put together after taking a recording of a conversation they had on a road trip...why haven't I thought of that?
The former being a scene from Across The Universe that NEVER fails to make me cry. It's nice to cry every once in a while.
I started training for a job today, I'm kind of just on call but it's good because I'm getting food service experience. The crew that works there is really fun, and I find that I like being up on my feet and constantly moving at a job rather than having to sit and watch the time pass by. I didn't look at my watch today for at least 4 hours (I worked for about 7). Which is why i should be a director and not an actor, haha, because actors have a lot of down time where they can get distracted and be distracting, and being the kind of girl that can't stop fooling with and getting herself distracted....I'd much rather be constantly in motion. Less opportunities to get myself in trouble....funny how that works out, you'd think it'd be the opposite. So I was expediting food today, meaning I was getting together peoples orders and sometimes running them out to tables The one thing that surprised me about working back in the kitchen is how desensitized to food you become. At one point I was soooo hungry, but nothing looked appitising, which is odd because the Pancake house has excellent food, I was just so desensitized to everything that it all seemed...so...usual, I guess. I hope you understand. Maybe you coffee lovers that work as baristas can relate.
Anyways. I have training again tomorrow as a server, and an interview the next day. jobs jobs jobs.
I also have a pretty frequent job as a babysitter for a 1, 2 and 3 year old. I think that child care is something everyone should do at some point in their lives before having kids, because you learn so much from the kids but then you don't have to deal with them 24/7. It's a blessing to get to hang out with them once a week. I also have this directing job that should start up pretty soon since the school year just started and I'll be working with high schoolers. I like working with high schoolers, because they've just gotten to the age where they're not taking themselves too seriously and can begin to make fun of themselves....that's important to me in a human being. besides....I was a theater kid in High school and I wasn't all that bad ;).
There's a bit of my life, enjoy!
