rehearsal was cancelled today because of the blustery winter weather. i was so happy... u n t i l i realized that i had nothing else to do. all 2 of my nearby friends were going to christmas parties, and since the weather was bad, i couldn't take a long drive to see anyone else. i should have used the time productively and finished my christmas cards, and worked on lines and character development. hahahahaha. but i didn't.
i did look at all my matches on eharmony.com though. yes, i took the obscenely long personality profile, and while some parts of it described me well, i felt that others were way (or at least a little) off. i'm not actually planning to pay them money and join and meet the love of my life. i decided i want to marry a foreign guy anyway - - possibly british, or australian, maybe even irish - as long as they have a hot accent. then, if we decided to have kids, they would be adorable accent-having kids. oh, yes, so, eharmony. my cousin joined it and claimed it was hilarious to look at the people's profiles they matched you with. i didn't find it all that amusing... maybe i'm just in a desperate place where i find myself seriously evaluating every male i come in contact with for potential relationship qualities. i seriously need some friends.
i went to a new church this morning. i met the worship leader last week, and he is talented, so i decided to check it out. the music was far better than my family's church has been, but the message didn't do much for me. about 2 sentences in, i found myself wishing i was at bethel. i don't know if it's wrong for me to dislike sermons that don't blow your mind with revelation. i realize that the simple foundational stuff is important and sometimes we need to be reminded of it... but if a preacher, a church doesn't ever move beyond that into a deeper revelation of who God is and what He's saying... then -what? i mean, we're supposed to grow in faith, right? not just find a plateau of faith to hang out on for the rest of our lives. but if you never challenge people with more of God than they can handle/comprehend at the moment, then how will they ever know or want more? how will they grow? paul prayed for the ephesians to have "the spirit of wisdom and revelation so that you may know [God] better." bethel has that. bill johnson and kris valloton and the people at bethel know God (i wish that "know" was in the Greek present tense so it would mean, they are in the continual process of knowing God), and because of that, the things they say are... amazing. it stretches my realm of comprehension, my faith, and makes me want to search and discover that truth for myself, to pursue God more passionately because when i hear things i don't understand it reminds me that God is GOD and he is bigger than we realize. i could say a whole lot more about this, but it might just be all jumbly thoughts. i seriously need real people to talk to.
anyway... the main reason i started writing was to post this:
The Cover of Life at Trumbull New Theatre
January 11, 12, 13; 18, 19, 20; 25, 26, 27
Friday & Saturday 8p; Sunday 3p
also, it might be important to note that January 16 is my birthday, so be sure to send your presents to my home address, or just bring them with you when you come to see the play. :) and now i'm going to bed, even though i might not be able to sleep because i seem to have insomnia lately.

Yes...it was very "Emily" or "Anne-ish" of me to write that because I'm pretty sure those books were where the idea came from in the first place. The fact that I don't remember which one makes me think it's time to re-read them all. :) What delight.
I'm so glad you might be sending out letters. I expect one shortly at: 43953 Championship Place Ashburn VA 20147. Yours is already in the mail.
And I wish I could see your play! Alas...I have no apparating powers.
Merry Christmas!
Ps: I found e-harmony to be rather ridiculous as well. It was interesting...but disappointing. Not that I was testing it seriously since I wouldn't pay for it either. The one kick I got out of it was that it paired me up with a guy I really liked in college who decided not to go out with me. I laughed for a long time over that one. :)
I got your DELIGHTFUL Christmas card/letter yesterday. Did you make the cards- and how did you get the gold design on the paper? It was so cool! In reading your future opportunities, I got really excited. I didn't know you were hoping to get into film?! I've always wanted to as well, but found it so difficult because no one will pay you enough money to live on when you're starting out and internships are so competitive. However, I did secure a 5 month internship at a television studio down here this past spring. It's over now and I'm just waiting for God to show me what to do next. I think I'm gonna have to put film-making aspirations on the back burner for a bit. But I really hope you get that internship in Texas! That would be amazing!
However, if you don't, it doesn't sound like you have a good reason for staying where you are as you haven't been able to find a job there. You really do just need to look for jobs in DC. They are all over the place and there is a good theater community downtown as well! It would be perfect for you and maybe breathe some new life your way! You could go to my church, which revived my passion (as you can see from my letter :) and...my friends and I just got a townhouse and it has an extra room...
think about it if you get to January and still have nothing to do.
