My Other Family

219/365

I have no words to express how much I love the people in the picture below.



From left to right: Evan, Nancy, Maddie, Me and Dylan.

These wonderful people are like my other family. Nancy is my mom and Evan, Dylan and Maddie are the siblings I never had. There is never a dull moment when I am with them. We laugh so much together and I can just be with them. They love me for who I am and I love them right back for who they are. I couldn't be who I am today with out them and I am so glad and blessed to have them in my life.

I would have taken a better picture tonight but I was just too involved with spending time with them and enjoying their company. So here is an older picture from a little more than a year ago. It's like our Christmas picture.

Do you have someone like this in your life? An "other family"? A "sibling"? Someone you love so dearly and who loves you back? Tell me!

Mischief Managed.

194/365

It's the end.

It's over.

Other than a website, there is nothing more to look forward to.

I have spent most of my life loving Harry Potter. I was so disappointed when the first book came out because I was probably 12 or 13. And I hadn't gotten a letter from Hogwarts.

I read the books. I cried in many of the books. I sobbed at the end of Order of the Phoenix. I swore up and down that Dumbledore wasn't dead at the end of Half-Blood Prince. I cried when Hedwig died. I cried when Dobby died. I cried when the Weasley family was huddled around Fred's body. I cried when Rowling killed Lupin and Tonks. I cried when Lily, James, Sirius and Lupin walked with Harry to the end. I cried after I finished the book. Just because it was over.

My generation grew up with Harry. We all wanted to know how it would all end. Many thought that Harry would indeed die. And he did. But he did it on his own terms. And in the end, it saved him.

Tonight I dressed up as Madam Rosmerta, the barkeep of The Three Broomsticks. My wand found me. I went to the midnight premier. I cried at all of the same parts I cried at. I cheered when Ron and Hermione finally kissed. I cheered when Molly called Bellatrix a bitch and killed her. I cheered when Neville took up the sword of Gryffindor and chopped Nagini's head off. I geeked out when I saw James Sirius and Albus Severus get on the Hogwarts Express. I thought that Hermione and Ron's family was perfect, down to Ron's potbelly. I stood up when the credits rolled and said "Mischief Managed!"

I celebrated the end of an era tonight. And it was worth every penny. Worth every tear.

Now I can't help but think of my children. Whenever I have them. I hope that they love Harry as much as I do. Because I will always love Harry. And on their eleventh birthdays, my children will get a letter telling them of a magical world. On their eleventh birthdays, my children will receive a book entitled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. And from every birthday there on out, they will receive the next book. Until they turn seventeen and become of Wizarding Age. Then and only then, will they know how it all ends.

Just like I now know how it all ends.

Except it really isn't over.

Not really.

Not as long as there are those who believe.

Happy Birthday Rachel!

181/365

On Friday after work I went to Rachel's house for her birthday party! I had so much fun. It was so nice to just go hang out with friends and I didn't have to worry about anything other than getting my hair cut the next day. I laughed so hard that I made my head hurt. And all we did was play games. I swear we played Apples to Apples for three hours.

Beautiful Rachel and her yummy cake!



The best Apples to Apples round. Goldfish eventually won.



Rachel and Laura. For her Mom. :)

Stories in Cosmopolitan

157/365

This is a picture of a story in this months issue of Cosmopolitan. Today wasn't the first time I had read it. I read it with some of my cast mates a few days ago and we laughed until we cried. We think it's the picture of it that comes up in your mind.

Moe and Reptar

130/365

So I had a Skype date with my best friend today. And we were filling each other in on the goings-on of our lives. And she told me how she got to hold an actual human lung the other day. She said, and I quote, "It was all squishy and healthy!....But dead..."

It resulted in a lot of laughter.



I miss her beautiful face. A lot. :)

I also got another screen shot of us making ridiculous faces but I promised her I wouldn't put it up. It is so horrifically wonderful.

Choir Tour

I actually didn't take a whole lot of pictures on tour. I was too busy. It was so fun though. So here are a few glimpses into my busy weekend.

Girl's Night and Conducting.

105 & 106/365

The past couple of days!

Yesterday I went to go see KeelyAnn in the dance ensemble show! She was beautiful! Then she and Megan and Rachel came over. We watched The Holiday and ate four bags of popcorn and laughed and cried and swooned over Jude Law. It was brilliant!



Today I had work and then I came home and did homework. Mostly working on my conducting piece. Especially because I totally crashed and burned on Thursday. And cried in class. Not my best moment. But we all have them and I'm gonna go into class on Tuesday and rock it, because let's face it. I know how to teach. I just wasn't prepared like I wanted to be. :P

61 Roomie Number One

61/365

So for March I'm doing something a little different. I came up with a little questionnaire, interview thingy and I've been sending them out to my friends and asking them to fill it out. Then my picture of the day is of them.

Today we're talking with my roomie Harmony. I've mentioned her before but today we get a little insiders look into the crazy that is my roommate.



1. Full Name: Harmony-Jane Farness Young
2. Nickname(s): Harmz, Harmzie, H-Dizzle, HGirl, HG, BG, Harmonizzle, Hippo
3. Age: 20 2/3
4. Favorite Color: Blue
5. Where were you born?: Torrance, CA
6. One guilty pleasure: One? ONE?! .... Eating full bags/boxes of candy while watching trashy TV. (Does that count as two? HOW IS THERE ONLY ONE.)
7. Name something you do when you’re alone that you wouldn’t do in front of others: I would say "pick my nose," but since getting my noise pierced, I've started nose-picking in public profusely. What counts as "public" anyway? I'm willing to do just about anything in front of my room mates that they'll let me get away with haha
8. Something you are terrified of: Being FOREVER ALONE.

9. What is your bedtime routine?: Procrastinate. Contacts out. Brush teeth. Set alarm. Bed. Call boo. Sleep?
10. What is your strangest talent?: Hahahahahahahahahaha...It took me a while to think of something particularly unique amongst my strange talents. Then I had to filter out inappropriate talents that Kelsey would be embarrassed by, or that her family members would burn me at the stake for. Thus, I have come to this: my strange talent is singing the Animaniacs’ country song. I know all of the words and can sing it up tempo. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Youtube it.
11. You have infiltrated Panda Express Headquarters in order to procure their secret recipes. While making your exit, you are spotted by the security guards. What is your plan of action?:First, I address the security guards in a foreign (made-up) language offering me enough time of confusion to retrieve the numerous shuriken I have stowed in in my socks. I fire an epic attack at the security guards and, although they are 83 in number, I create enough panic and injure enough guards that they scream like little girls, wet their pants and run away. I make a break for the doors only to find that I have been locked in. No matter. I have procured several exploding seals. These I throw towards the door where they magically gain enough weight to travel directly to their targets and affix themselves to the doors. Before their secondary security measure of sumo wrestlers can reach me, I weave the ignition signs and the doors explode outwards in a shower of sparks, unicorns and noodles. With the unicorns hot on my tail, I escape to my getaway car: a rickshaw powered by genetically altered Lance Armstrong clones with thighs the size of pandas. I escape. Make a delicious dinner for myself and my room mates using my recently acquired recipes and live out a life of Oriental Food Fantasy. I also get my own culinary show and my true identity is never revealed.
12. When was the last time you played air guitar?: Earlier today while watching the following video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcsSPzr7ays It was very complicated as you can imagine.
13. Which shoe do you put on first?: Right.
14. Are you wearing socks right now?: No.
15. Favorite kind of pizza: Cheese.
16. Do you wear a watch?: Sometimes. I think I lost my watch...
17. What were you doing last week at this time?: The same thing I'm doing now: watching anime and procrastinating going to bed.
18. Do you collect anything?: Yes. I collect books. And paper. And really epic friends.
19. Something that makes you happy every time you see it: My boo :3
20. Scrunch or fold: Fold. Always.
21. You are the hero of a Japanese television show. What are you wearing, what are your secret powers and describe your magical transformation process?:I am wearing black galoshes, black leggings and a giant black slicker with a fuzzy hood. Also a lower face mask. And chopsticks. In my hair. Yes.
My secret powers include summoning raging hippos, making delicious baked goods and manipulating plants into epic structures and weapons.
My magical girl transformation has super legit techno music, lasers and narwhals. There is also brief but vague nudity that is kept appropriate by super legit blue clouds. I transform into a black, spandex body suit with blue racing stripes. I also get a scepter. Don't question.
22. Your favorite time of day: Either 9am or 11pm
23. Beach or Forest: Yes. I live in the PNW. I do what I want.
24. Last time you got stopped by a cop or pulled over: May 15th 2009.
25. If you could be in any television show or movie, what would it be and why?: Project Runway (is that even still on TV???) because the art is super legit and I have a huge crush on Heidi Klum.
26. Do you doodle during class?: Yes.
27. At the movie theatre which arm rest is yours?: Yes.
28. How do you eat your cookies?: Completely.
29. If you could only go abroad to one country, where would you go?: Brazil
30. You are New York Fashion Week and have been hired by Armani to infiltrate Michael Kors’ runway show. What materials will you need to execute your plan?:
Crazy Loop. Pizza. A sparkly bra.
31. Have you ever ridden in a taxi cab?: Yes.
32. Have you ever stuck a foreign object up your nose?: Yes.
33. Do you use the snooze button on your alarm clock?: No.
34. What is your best friends Mom’s name?: Sonia. Or Sunny.
35. Have you ever had a poem or song written about you?: Yes.
36. Did you go to summer camp as a child?: Yes. My parents got rid of me whenever possible.
37. If you knew you were going to be on a desert island, what kind of sandwich would you bring?: PBJ. Duh.
38. What is your favorite thing to buy at OMM?: Arizona Green Teaaaa nomnom
39. Innie or Outie?: If this were the last question, I'd be like "Outieeee" 'cause that'd be like saying "This is the end and I'm leaving" but it's not so I'm gonna hafta say "innie" 'cause I have one.
40. Google or Yahoo: To quote a conversation I had earlier today with Cooper in reference to Chinese internet censorship. "In China, they're all about censorship and making sure you can't have fun on the internet. They're like 'no Google for you.'" "Only Bing. The least efficient search engine that everyone knows will never let you find what you're looking for and will hide all subversive information in the vast wasteland of its uselessness." "Nono. In China they only let you use Yahoo." "That's not censorship, that's cruel and unusual punishment."


As you can see, living with Harmony is a crazy adventure. <3

MENC Conference

48, 49 & 50/365

I was at a MENC Conference in Bellevue for the past three days. These are some of the photos that I took while there.

The first night there was champagne and air hockey.



The second day all of us matched. It was cute. But Megan ruined the photo. :P


The third day we gave fake names to the Baristas at Starbucks. It was fun. :)


It was great conference. And I had alot of fun hanging out with great friends and getting to know other people!

44Watching my Favorite Show.

44/365

My callback went great. I had fun and I feel like it went really well. I just have to hang out and wait and see if I made it into the ensemble!

I came home and I put on Friends.



It is my all time favorite show. It always makes me laugh and it's nice to just be able to enjoy something over and over again.

This is My Roommate

20/365

This is my roommate Harmony.



I had an awful day and seeing this caused me to laugh for about two hours. Until I gave myself a headache.

I love her.

:)

Also on the post yesterday, the pictures are flipped. I don't know how they did that. But I don't want to edit it. I'm sure that the three people who read this realize that I am not a complete idiot and know that the picture of the chili pot was not the table set for family dinner. *headdesk*
