For writers and people who think about writers.

As a sort of follow up to my last post, because I love her writing, I went to Elizabeth Gilbert dot com and brought back for you a very good and wheel-turning speech by Ms Gilbert herself to do with writing and creativity and how it works and the way we think about it. If your interest is sparked, excellent, and if it isn't- please watch this anyway. It is only under twenty minutes. Don't skip around. Start at the beginning. Give it a chance- your attention. I can't imagine you'd be sorry.

READ and soon, WATCH: Eat, Pray, Love

SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED.



Info on Eat Pray Love: (IMDB) here!

I've been sick lately, but all that is behind me now. I'm going to rest a little, eat some chocolate ice cream, get some work done, and GO OUTSIDE. I love being alive, and I want people to be able to tell. Thank you Lord that it is Friday. Amen. :D

UPDATE and My New FAVORITE Video

So... you know how I'm playing Helen Keller in my school's upcoming production of the Miracle Worker? Well, it's been going great so far. I've been having a lot of fun with Mariah especially, who plays Annie Sullivan. There's a lot of handspelling in the show, so we'll be sitting on stage during practice, spelling things into each other's hands, joking and laughing. I also checked out a book on ASL from the library and I'm learning some signs! It's so exciting!

Anyway, it just so happens that one of the blogs I've just started following put up this awesome video with a cute guy doing ASL along with this song. :)



I emailed the link to my director so she could forward it to the rest of the cast. Awesome, right? Hope everyone's doing good! :D

Am I Suddenly In Love With 'Panic At The Disco' Again?

Why... maybe..
After 2 years of dropping them as my favorite band and moving on (mostly because the people I spent time with didn't like that kind of music), this video has reignited my interest in the band. Hope you enjoy it. I think it's awesome when they're riding the old-fashioned bikes.

Today is the Day

I have been waiting to use this picture, and today is the day.

The day when I am thankful for Katie (I forgot how nice it is to have her around), Lilly's sunny personality (it makes me smile so big), and things that are so funny, I'm still laughing about it hours later.

Case in point:

SNOW DAY!!

This is a video I just watched for the first time yesterday. I love Lady Gaga's music, and I admire her courage in the things she does. :)

***

There was no post yesterday because my mind was consumed by Jane Eyre, which I
FINISHED!!! And yes, it was good. I recommend it. To everyone.

ADDED!!:
Today I am thankful for hot chocolate packets (Seldom does anyone have time to home-make real hot chocolate), snow days, sleeping in, and short term memory (or I would never have seen my cell phone again- it was on the floor between a bed and a bookcase).

SNL-Firelight (Twilght take-off)

Kelly just showed this to me, and I had to share it.

New playlist is up- all songs that remind me of my boyfriend Rich. Our 2-year anniversary is tomorrow. Sorry if it gets cheesy... haha
