30 Days Recap

In which we have seen: Shakespeare in high school, me (and a water balloon) in high school, exotic locales, the occasional movie review, back pain, the title of my memoir, speaking in tongues, a poem (and Sarah Palin hair), another poem by some dead guy, a third poem (one about punctuation), wedding hullabaloo, a highly amusing re-imagining of an 80's music video, goals, Xanadu, the end of Romeo and Juliet, theatre is life (and vice versa), a grocery list, some marvelous photos, an argument for Proposition 8, Metropolis, Halloween turtles, Customer Service ettiquette (I've been practicing), something about a safety pin, and a handwriting analysis.

Additionally, this month I: was "downsized" from my job and had my last day Thursday; did NOT catch a bouquet; cut my hair; developed three different Halloween costumes; learned something fabulous about a friend that I am not at liberty to share; actually became (practically) a cougar; got an unexpected fake stage kiss; seriously, wrote poetry; auditioned for a show, was called back, and did not get cast; got a speeding ticket; went to an experimental play/movie; punk'd an actor; attempted to dry up a small lake (OK, pond); hung out with former students; spent some time at the chiropractor's; hit a record 40 posts for one month and my 100th post ever; and listened to barbershop.

Ah, memories.

Watch out for falling turtles...

P.S. Honestly, "fake stage kiss"? That's just sad. If you're going to get up the courage to stage kiss somebody (a kiss that is for show and effect, vs. a "real" kiss that is because you actually want to kiss them) just kiss them already. The whole "turning your head to the side and angling your hand to block the sightline so it LOOKS like it could be a real kiss while making sound effects" is SO junior high. I mean, really.

Well, he IS only 12/15... perfect for the "so junior high" demographic.
