How wonderful life is, now that Glee is back in the world!

Ahhhh, the season 2 premiere of Glee was amazing!!! I'm not going to say anything, because I don't want to spoil anything, but OHMYGOD it was sooo good. Next week's episode is dedicated to Britney Spears, and I'm SO EXCITED.
Okay, enough Glee spazzing.
In costuming today, we learned how to thread a sewing machine and do hand stitching. I was good with the hand stitches because I mend clothing and stuff with stitches all the time, but man, when I had to use the sewing machine, I wanted to throw it against the wall. I'm just rubbish at using it and all my practice stitches turned out awful, even the straight lines. xD I was starting to feel really domesticated, like a woman from the 30's or something, since there is like 10 girls in the class and one guy, and I wasn't liking it. I'm not an extreme feminist, but god knows I'll kick anyone who says my place is in the kitchen or something.
Anyway, I'll probably get used to the sewing machine, but today I hated it.
I finally finished MockingJay last night. There was a lot of sobbing going on. The book was just so tragically ironic in a way, and then just tragic in general. Most of my favourite characters died, and even though I knew in like...the second book in the series, that, if it came down to choosing between Gale and Peeta, I knew Katniss would end up with Peeta in the end, but I was so strongly Team Gale until the very end.... Almost every page turn revealed something unexpected, and I want to give Suzanne Collins the biggest hug in history for making me believe in a series of books again, seeing as I am still very much in post-Potter depression.  If you haven't read them....I'm sorry that I kind of spoiled a tad bit, but you should really read them. They're brilliant books. The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and MockingJay.
One of my favourite quotes definitely has to be

"...collective thinking is usually short lived. We're fickle, stupid beings with poor memories and a great gift for self-destruction."

Because it's so true. These books are so true to the human character and nature, and shows us at our worst. Will we end up self-destructing ourselves? Though life is not as cruel as it is in the Hunger Games, the books definitely do a fine job showing that we are so capable of turning the world into that. It shows the absolute worst in human nature, but also it's ultimate best. It's true to loss, and it's true to love, and most of all, it makes us believe in the strength deep down in ourselves to fight for our rights.

I think that's all I have to say about today.

OH! My epically epic awesome nerd shirt came today!!!

It's a TARDIS and a DeLorean!! (Doctor Who and Back to the Future) I love it so much because A) They're both time machines, and B) They are both operated by men who call themselves "Doctor". :] 

Good night, have a good Wednesday.

The Emmy's, Back to the Future, and my future.

I've seriously just sat here staring at this page for 20 minutes. I hate not having anything to write about, or anything important to say about my day. So, I distracted myself by watching a bit of Youtube, and making tea. I decided I should just write about SOMETHING and get it over with. I don't know how I'm going to do this everyday for a whole year.....
   Today was filled of nothing but much too sleep, reading, and t.v. watching. I went to bed really early last night, well, early for me, and woke up around 1 p.m.! I love weekends. I woke up feeling rather ill, and I'm still not feeling too hot, so I'm drinking like gallons of tea.
   The Emmy's were on today, and it got me thinking about how much I love acting and why I love it. I know a lot of people don't like award shows, but I'm absolutely in love with them. The Emmy's, The Oscars, the Tony's.... I just love them. I like them, because they're not just for the fans, but for the actors and actresses to see how much we appreciate them. Many people may think that "oh, these actors don't need anymore 'appreciation' blah blah blah" but really, I think they do. I mean it's obvious that since their shows are still on air, or their movies are making money, that they have fans, but I bet nothing feels as great as holding that award in your hands, knowing that people actually admire something you put a lot of effort into and love to do. And that's what I love about acting, because there will always be people who really really appreciate your acting, and it makes it all seem worth it. As long as there are people who appreciate what I do, I know it will all be worth it in the end. I mean, like, I act because I LOVE it. I act because I want to act. If no one came and saw anything I was in, well, that would be okay, because I love what I'm doing. But the fact that an audience shows up and appreciates what you're doing, well, that's something else. And that is why I love theatre so much.
    All of this led me up to thinking about my future and about how much I want to be apart of an award show one day. I think I would be best suited for the Tony Awards, because I love stage/musical theatre so much, but even being at the Oscars or Emmy's would be nice. ;D One day....one day.... I will work my ass off to make it to that point. And I'll do it respectfully.
   And of course, with all this future talk, Back to the Future as been on for the past three days. The first part was on on Friday, the second on Saturday, and the third was on today. Of course I watched them because, duh, it's Back to the Future! I haven't watched them in sooo long. I forgot how much I loved that movie. For some reason I don't own the dvds....:[ I'll have to buy them soon.
   I've been re-reading Catching Fire because my copy of MockingJay still hasn't came in the mail. :/ This makes me upset. I want to read it now! I've just been glad that I haven't come across any spoilers. Now I have to finish reading Phaedo for my Philosophy class tomorrow.
Catch you on the flip side.
(oh, and I've made it through a whole week!)
