The Great WALT DISNEY

"If you can dream it, you can do it."

"I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter."

"All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you."

"All your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them."

Busy

I've been slightly absent from this world for a while...it's too bad because I've had some great and funny things to blog about. BUT again, I don't really feel like anybody reads it, ha ha! Well, that and I'm in a pretty intensely busy rehearsal schedule for this quirky little musical, Disco Inferno. And being a lead is really not as fun as being a goofy fun character mixing in with the ensemble. Don't get me wrong...I'm excited for the opportunity and have experienced some breakthroughs which have surprised me, but I am definitely nervous. So, things I could have posted about the past few weeks:


-my theories about the "blind date"
-what 4th graders do instead of listen
-my 3rd trying-to-hide-it, "struggles-with-same-sex-attraction" male love interest
-a survey of my readers (all 3 of you), polling whether I should be desperate enough to get on ldssingles. com
-the hideous, someday-it-will-be-funny experience of getting bumped off a flight to Oregon two days before Christmas WITH my afraid-to-fly, frantic, worried, control-freak father...which entailed a couple shuttles, no baggage, a long hotel night, some serious hours of waiting, and flying into a different airport 2 and half hours away from my brothers house.
-our fantastic Christmas break trip to my brother's in Oregon where we ate great food, sat by the fire, watched movies, went to movies, went ice skating, had an air soft gun war, played tennis, played games, SLEPT in, and had Christmas cheer with not just our little family-but also my sister-in-law's great large family.

There it is...Disco Inferno opens this Friday, the 8th and goes to the 16th (super short run), and no I can't record the show; it's not legal (that was for Carrie).

Oh Shelley! I love reading your blog. You have a way with words that make each entry quite witty. It is a fun way for me to learn more and more about you as a person. I am so sorry you have to deal with lame men and their same sex attraction. What in the world? You are gorgeous and talented. I think that would be enough to make a man strait! Love you
