I haven't much to report... other than the fact that I'm exhausted.
So, just out of curiosity... if you've hired a babysitter to put your kid to bed and head out to dinner at about 7ish... How on earth does it take until midnight to get back to your house? Is there something (other than, say, a movie) that parents go out and do just to prolong their time away and rack up the charges for the babysitter? Perhaps go clubbing? (haha, I just can't see it...)
Not that I'm (really) complaining... I just made like $20 more than I expected to, but seriously. 5 hours for dinner?
I don't get it.
I'm going to crash... right... now.

On sexy cars, scarves and... something else
(I just needed another word to start with 's')
My friends and I were walking to our cars today after rehearsal and we saw this black car that was just the blackest car I've ever seen. A very sleek (and sexy, as Alycia said) car, to tell the truth. So, true to form, we had to take a picture in front of the sexy black car.
So, just to show yall how much time I have to knit during school and rehearsal, here is a picture of my scarf which I cast on this morning.

I'm sure that if my mother were reading this, she would say, "And yet you don't have time to do your homework or apply to college." Au contraire, madre. First of all, I can't do homework during class because it's extremely obvious to the teacher, but knitting is perfectly fine. Second of all, I love to knit and I dislike homework. And lastly, I TOTALLY ALMOST FINISHED MY APPLICATION TO TLU TODAY.
(TRIUMPH!!!!)
16 days until opening night.

VICTORY...
Victory 1/3: I rocked at being part of the Honk! chorus today in rehearsal, since that's all I am in Act I.
Victory 2/3: I totally did (all of) my homework and turned it in (on time) today.
Victory 3/3: I finished christmas scarf 2/1000 today!!! (for once, I was grateful for the super-long rehearsal)
Because my brother would not model, the duty fell to Legolas.
Thank you, Legolas, for being such a lovely model.
My next scarf endeavor:
The picture isn't fabulous but you get the idea. Feathery and teal.

Just another step
I took a college tour today of TLU. Overall, it looks like a great university which I would be able to slip into and make a great college experience for myself.
Want to know what doesn't please me?
The fact that I could slip in anywhere. Even my mom told me today, "Stef, I can see you going anywhere. To UT or Baylor or even here. Wherever you decide, you'll succeed." Isn't something about a campus supposed to just call out to me? Isn't something supposed to just say "Stefanie. You are home now." That didn't happen today, but I don't know if my College-Fit-Into-Ness Sensors were functioning properly today.
I'm one of those people who is very shy and uncomfortable until I experience something. I will sink into the shadows and do everything possible not to draw attention to myself. But after I experience that first shock of being part of something new, only then will I start to open up and be myself. I think that's why I didn't have a very good day today. And it was exhausting. I nearly fell asleep on the way home today.
College = daunting.
(18 days until opening night)

Random thoughts
So I was thinking... I have a lot of things to say, but I can never flesh them out to make it something I could blog about. So here is a list of stuff that's on my mind or I just think about.
1) I made some knitting needles yesterday and most of them turned out great. Except that I need to somehow make them smoother with maybe a better grade of sandpaper or something.
2) There are a lot of loopholes in our government.
3) I started a new scarf on friday (well... thursday night. But I only knit a few rows that night) and it's already up to my waist. It alternates between a creme and a green color and it takes me half an hour to knit one block. If I've done 4 and a half blocks so far, that's taken me two hours and fifteen minutes. If I spend my car trip tomorrow knitting, I can finish it by tomorrow night. Will I? No, of course not.
4) I spend so much time in rehearsal/thinking about the musical/practicing outside of rehearsal that I pretty much have Honk! coming out the wazoo. You'd think I would get a break every once and a while. Countdown to opening night: 19 days.
5) Because of the musical I have to limit my caffeine intake because caffeine affects your voice like it does the rest of your body: a quick jolt of happy goodness and then a crash. That's bad. B... b... but... I l...love coffee!
6) I watched Pan's Labyrinth last night on HBOD. It was really good but very creepy. At the same time, the twisted, writer-y part of me is going "TAKE NOTES, THIS IS GENIOUS." I'm one of those people who can write all I want about twisted and awfully creepy things, but when I see it on the big screen, I don't enjoy it as much. Most of the time however, I don't write about that kind of stuff. I just love getting visible reactions out of audience. Possibly the most fulfilling feeling I've ever gotten is written a story that made my friend cry.
7) I'm going on a college visit tomorrow, and I'm kinda scared.
8) It's a poultry tale of folk down on the farm!
9) Please forgive number 8. I will try to curb my desire to burst into song from now on.
10) Lists like these tend to follow a thought pattern.
11) I'm really mad at the book I just finished because the STORY ISN'T FINISHED YET. Did I just spend $10 on a day's worth of reading and I STILL HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER SIX MONTHS TO CONTINUE READING?!
12) I just checked my list of poems that I've stored. I have... ahem... 118 on my hard drive. That's spanning from 2004 until now.
13) That makes it an average of approx 30 per year. But... um... probably 80 of them are from the year 2006.
14) Perhaps 90.
15) I really enjoy getting the "Damn I'm Good" moments. It tells me that most of the time I'm a pretty modest person. And it gives me some confidence.
16) My foot's asleep... Actually, come to think of it, I should be asleep right now.
Goodnight all.

Show and tell
So I finally used up all the film on a camera I borrowed.... here are some of the pictures. :) (a few of them turned out weird like the first one, but I plan on photoshopping them at some point...)
