On The Radio

My Best Boy (space) Friend.

Joshua Eberhardt or Caleb Eberhardt as some people know him is one of my best friends in the enitre world. Honestly, there is no putting into words how amazing of a person he is and how talented he is. The first time I saw him do a monologue I was blown away, but thats not even what he does. He is a mucisian. He writes music and plays the quitar. He is just so smart and intelligent and incredible. I don't want to go on rambling about his talents for pages, even though I could. But anyways, please, if ANYONE even reads this go to his page on facebook

and listen and if you like what you hear become a fan and buy his music on iTunes. Within my first week of having the album the play count was at 12 for every song.

Also, sometimes he is on purchaseradio.com because he is a student at SUNY Purchase, which was just rated #1 for college Acting programs and Julliard was #2.

My family is so beautiful. I have yet to meet this one, but I have a seven month old nephew, Noa. Who I can already tell has his moma's huge smile. I need to get to Hawaii ASAP.

But, I have realized that this week is one of three school weeks left before Christmas break/ me being home for 6 weeks. I can't wait to get back to the bay. This is the longest that I have been away from home in my life. Even at Idyllwild I managed to get home on a weekend, but I guess thats because an hour flight is very different than a 5 hour flight, when you're lucky to find a non connecting. Normally my travel time is around 7 or 8 hours all together because of changing flights in Las Vegas or Chicago. I have also never spent this much time outside of California, which is crazy. I have not been home for te month of October in two years, which is quite sad because October is one of my favorite months in Berkeley. When the leafs on the trees up Forrest St. are al over and I get to jump in them. The leaves here aren't as crunchy. Maybe its because they're not as big.

My parents are coming to see my show this weekend. I am in the Community Theatre of Greensboro's 14th annual production of The Wizard of Oz, which is pretty intense. But I am very excited that I get to see the fam the week before thanksgiving and my birthday.

I've been thinking a lot latley about distractions, because I am the queen of distractions. I find myself caught up in them all the time. One phone call, or instant message, from the person who I most want to hear from but not at that particular moment can completely throw off my entire day, or weekend... or month.

It may have been one of the shortest most life-changing events of my life, but I don't know if I've ever cried over one person so much. And the tears weren't always about being upset with the situation, which I was. The tears were about the fact that something truley amazing happened and in the blink of an eye it was gone. They were tears of joy and disbelief at the same time. They were about the fact that I had finally found something, someone, who cared and then it was over. And having it pop up on my screen after three months of nothing............. I couldn't handel my summer because of you, and I couldn't handel being in Berkeley, and I couldn't handel anything. I finally found myself because of you, truley started to understand myself. And then poof. Gone. I really was looking forward to seeing you too... even if I knew how it was going to end up.

100 Things

I have wanted to make a list of 100 things to do before I die for a while now, but I can't sit down and just write 100 things. They come to me at different times, so this is one I'm going to have to come back to, hopefully often but as of 11/14/2008 I have:

1. Get Married
2. Have a child (with my husband)
3. Obtain some sort of seat in a political area... mayor/congress person/ senator (!)

6. Be a maid of honor
7. Become better at keeping in contact with people who have really meant a lot to me
8. Sing at my dad's funeral (Wishing You Were Somehoe Here Again) he loves Phantom.

November 4, 2008

America elected its very first black president.

I have to say, I'm happy that the election is over. With it being the first time I got to actually participate in the election I am proud to be an American. But at the same time I am so incredibly sick of every add on the TV being for Elizabeth Dole or against her. And I'm am incredibly tired of the phrase "I'm [enter name here] and I support this message." SNL is going to be very boring for a little while though, just because the political skits they have been doing have been absolutely amazing. Amy Poehler will be missed, but I bet she's going to make a terrific moma. But, I think the main reason I'm glad the election is over is that now I don't have to listen to the question every other day, "Would you vote for a black person/woman for president?" Come on, people. It is obviously not about race. I wouldn't vote for a woman just because she's a woman. I wouldn't vote for a black person just because they're black. This is about electing a president. It goes so much further than race or gender. If I like the woman and agree with her stance on major issues I will vote for her (Hilary Clinton) and if I don't like her and completly disagree with her stance on major issues I won't vote for her (Sarah Palin). I'm sick of people looking beyond the major issues from this election and making it into a statement about sexism and racism. I understand that those things are out there but people need to take a second and think, "Hmmm, who is going to run the country well?" And then maybe they'll know what they're doing.
