Ramen Noodles

You've seen them. The girls, women even, who walk around in sweatpants, sweatpants with words written on the butt saying, "Princess" or things like that, and Ugg boots. Their hair is pulled back in a sloppy bun with a thin headband, and all their heavy makeup perfectly placed on their face. They have a Betsy Johnson bag in the crook of their arm, and a chai latte in one hand and their iPhone in the other. Why? Why go to so much effort to look like you don't care what you look like? I know it's comfortable, but leggings and a jersey knit dress are also comfortable! A knit sweater, with knee high socks,a t-shirt and jeans can even be comfortable! And if all you cared about was comfort, you wouldn't be wearing a matching sweatpant/sweatshirt combo. I just don't understand my sex sometimes....

Working on a show right now, I'm Costume Designer. Fancy, right? I feel very undeserving the title, mainly because this is my first show as THE costume designer, and I haven't had as much experience as I should. Oh well.

I'd really like a job so I can actually have some cash with which to try and start to even pay off my student loans. Oh well.

Kristin and I gave an awesome presentation today in my Modern Theater 2 class. We used puppets. Everyone enjoyed the break from the humdrum presentations from the other students, at least, I like to think everyone enjoyed the break from the other presentations.

On Thursday I get to drive out to Mt. Hood Community College and see what it's like to be a real librarian! I get to shadow my friend Matt's girlfriend Anna, who works at the library at Mt. Hood, and see if it's something I want to do with my life. I really hope I like it. Otherwise, all I have going for me is stage managing and costume design, something I LOVE, but also something that doesn't make money all the time. Even though I love it, my parents are worried I will end up a little homeless thespian, with my masks and tie line to keep me company in the gutter. Or the guttah, as Audrey would say.

Got to go make some costumes now. And maybe some dinner later.

Endorsing Vampire Librarian blog because Matt told me about her, and I love her. Cheers!
