So the picture makes me laugh.
I thought it might be a good way to start off a personal website. Why not?

I use my friends' blogs to catch up on their lives and am hoping you will be able to stay current with me and my rambunctious and amazing life as a cultural concierge (yes, the job is as brilliant as the title). This will keep my brain occupied on all those hours that it's going going gone before the day is through.

As for today, the beautifully wicked candy-loving dress-up Halloween day:

First off, it is my unofficial 2nd anniversary with michael, my favorite boy who is my best friend (start puking now) and a super look-out-for-you and cry-on-your-shoulder and laugh-the-hardest-with boy I have yet to meet. We are looking to get hitched and make babies and live on a farm with australian shepherds and some Irish sheep and yellow ponies in the middle of nowhere to suit our happy existance sometime in the future - but we're already kind of married as we live together and share everything but taxes - and that will come soon enough with a marriage liscense. Whoopeeeeeeeeee.... don't even get me started on bills.

Secondly, I was able to wear my Ugg boots to work today b/c of the chill in the air. As the magazines are screaming that they are out of ugly fashion, I will still diligently wear mine in protest of everything that they stand for that I still greedily and guiltfully read . As I love my cutesie boots and they make my feet toasty (and they never are warm) and I feel like I get to dress-down by wearing them, and my clothes are all about comfort anyway, and as I never buy or ask for anything expensive unless I really really love something - and I love these boots. And I love my parents for the birthday present from last year that they are.

Thirdly, does the winter-blues happen to a lot of us? I am not feeling lethargic, but more for the need to road trip - to get away to the fall colors and tromp through leaves and forget that the bills are piling up (my personal stupid bills of thinking I could handle credit, which I couldn't THEN, but can NOW because I screwed myself so royally and how can you pay anything off when you're making the bare minimum to live off - when was the last time at the grocery store? - and can a $20 minimum REALLY pay off that card that keeps applying fee after fee after fee?)But the Pollyanna in me will try to remember that you have it pretty lucky; with a roof over your head and someone who loves you desperately and helps support you and a strong family tie and two cute kitties to make you smile and think you're great. And my friends.

I have this wonderful group of girlfriends that I am bonding with. We met in a theatre production and have kept tight - and that doesn't happen a lot in theatre circles, as you're always off to the next show and the next group of "instant friends". But we have bonded and have the same sensibilities on life and acting - and we're fun. We gossip and joke and worry over one another and have what I call a 'snarky' sense of humor - a lot of attitude, quips that could crush a lesser man, and a general overall outlook that our discussions are hilarious and full of whiticisms. Which they actually are. We're like-minded, and it's nice to have them around.

So, I'm trying to not sing the blues while all of life's little annoyances trickle over me, and just do the best I can every day.
