Sandra Oh - my hero

I just found the need to write about this.

I was watching Grey's Anatomy earlier-- and there was this moment with Sandra Oh being emotional-- and I broke down and cried.

She is SUCH a good actress. Just watching her cry like that... it's heartbreaking. She knows how to "strum your heart strings" or something like that--not sure what the term is, but.

I love her. Especially when she is so unpretentious--she's real. Or at least she seems to be (and that is just equally good).




I want to be as humble as she is and as witty and charming and pretty and confident as she is as I can. She is awesome--and I wish that I could be, too.






Oh yeah-- still soul-searching. LOL

Love to the nth,
M.

Test - Done. For now. Stage - Getting there.

So, I had my rehearsals for both of the plays.

I would say that "Heart in the Ground" is coming along pretty well. The progress is how it should be. However, I find myself having trouble memorizing my lines. I'm hoping my memory isn't getting crappy the older I get @_@.

I am getting a little older now.

The test = well, it's done for now. I am hoping for the BEST. I am hoping that I passed. I am hoping for a miracle since I could barely remember how I dealt with that beast of a test. It shouldn't be hard-- but I was pressured by every simple question.

If I passed... I'll be the happiest person on earth.

I could definitely say that the test was really life-changing. The more I think about it, the more I want to really pass the tests and get my CPA license. Oh, and with that, I think my cute sense of humor has gone down the drain-- I keep asking people if they're joking or not. @_@ I can't seem to tell if things are sarcasm anymore. LOL! Just kidding. --I still can, but my comebacks are awful.

Anyway, I will try to memorize my script again-- typing my monologue-- hoping to make sense of it.

That's it for now.

See ya's all latersz!

Stage -- I'm back!!!

This past Tuesday I auditioned for the one-act plays. I did it because I missed the stage-- I miss the theatre. I missed my first friends. It was my home at one point. 

Anyway, I went to see the cast list today :-) I'm proud to say that I got two wonderful roles! 

I got Karen for "Heart in the Ground" -- I fell in love with her monologue and wished really hard that I would be able to say it. I also got Grace for "Whales" -- now this should be interesting because I apparently get to curse a lot. 

These two roles-- very different from each other. Karen being emotionally (and probably mentally) unstable and Grace being perky (I think, I haven't read the whole play yet, but I'm sure it's gonna be quite fun). Both characters are sarcastic--which I would love to work on. 

I wonder how this will go. Me playing two very different characters and being myself afterwards. Work (accounting which is very business-y and professional) + Performing Arts (something that I really like doing as a hobby) = Balanced ME. 

I'm excited. I would be working with people who I really love and respect. I also would be working with people who I just recently met. I love the theatre. I can't wait to go back and remember why I chose to walk away from it. I retired, but I don't think I've had enough of it yet. 

That's all I can say for now. Btw, I'm still studying for my CPA. Test on Tuesday. Can't wait. :-)

Love to the nth,

Studying for an exam--is hard

Okay, so the title isn't very creative.
Well, this entry isn't really on the creative side, anyway.
I just wanted to inform you (my dearly beloved imaginary readers) that it's hard to study for an exam when you hardly even know what to expect.

I'd rather learn to drink--even if I cringe at the thought of it.

Anyway, I gotta go!

See yous all!

Love to the nth,

Friendly Announcement

To my new readers,

All the entries I have done in May, except for the facts, are all... bullpepper crappizoids. I was in Cloud 9 and clearly not myself. I was under a spell of some sort.

Anyway--updates:

I AM NOT IN PUBLIC ACCOUNTING--although I am still going to take my CPA exam.
I DON'T WANT TO SETTLE DOWN--I am young, I haven't even tried drinking yet, and I turned 21 in June--that, to me, is young.
I WOULD LIKE TO TRAVEL--and live in a big city where I could work 70 hours a week without even realizing it.
Although I still want to have children in the future, I'D RATHER HAVE A DOG FOR NOW--a shih tzu, a poodle, or a bischon frise (if I could learn how to spell it correctly).


I guess that basically covers it.

Like I said, I WAS BLINDLY UNDER A SPELL OF NONSENSE back in May. I'm okay now. Fully healed--thanks to time, friends, and family. Also, thanks to my job and all the other good things in life.

2011 hasn't been too friendly, but it hasn't ruined my life either. All these changes, I'm just not used to, but I will get over it, and I know that I'm not alone. An unbelievable number of people have experienced change this year--it's amazing. I'm just hoping for the best in 2012.

Love to the nth,

Mabelle
