The Adventures of "Smart Ash"
Just me and my occasional ramblings!

Wednesday, August 17, 2005
Wow...my alarm went off 15 mins early this morning...not only did it go off early, but it was on top of my desk....therefore forcing ME out of bed, turn on the light, find the blasted clock....

Got ready....went to school....still getting use to being at school at 6am...but I like the parking.... After class I sat in my car and did homework...and OMG....the spray tanner worked...on my legs...yes...here...there, darker lighter...OOOppps !!! missed 2 MAJOR spots... ouch! To make matters worse I was wearing a skirt.

So, last night at rehearsal Elicia...all excited came up to me and said, "Look!" *pointing to nose* cute little nose piercing...TOTALLY jealous...I had wanted that for 1 1/2 years now... Grrr....Ersh, you suck... I came home...told my mom...ouch, there's a no-no...she and my dad disapprove....but say they can't tell me what I can and can't do since I'm 18... Gee, I wish they acted like that in other instances...Oh, but I could get a small tattoo...

Okay, okay, let's get this straight...I CAN'T get my nose or eyebrow pierced...keeping in mind it can come out when I get tired of it or start teaching...however I CAN get a permenant tattoo? Can someone tell me how this makes sense?

Whatever....

So, I did the next best things as to not piss people off..... and go and pierce my eyebrow or nose I got a fake nose stud and pierced my left cartilage in my ear, AGAIN.

I don't go binge drinking and getting drunk, I don't stay out late (without permission), I don't do drugs, I'm not some easy whore-able girl....

Everyone seems to think I am this prim and propper goody good who has never done anything wrong and has a 4.0 gpa and thinks she is better than all those around her...

Now, I am sure as heck none of the above....but I don't rebel...though I seriously thought about it last night....a rockin' party, drugged and boozed up....tats and several piercings....No, kidding...SO TOTALLY KIDDING....but it did really make me frusterated.

Anyway rehearsal went slow and so Elicia and I went up to the lobby to run lines for the show we're in and I got to talk to her about some stuff that was bothing me that involved her and Mike and some stuff....turns out that what I had thought was wrong and I didn't need to dwell on it...though I am the type to do that no matter what...so I really did not feel better after talking...but she assured me that she was there for me. I needed that. Not to say that I can't talk to family, but it's nice to have someone outside those walls to confide in too.

Went to school today...then went to work...ugh 5 hours...and VERY few dogs were there....so I did get some homework done...kewl...

When I sat down behind E. tonight at rehearsal...she turned around to say something...turned back and did a double take, it was funny...she thinks my nose stud is real...or thought...
Rehearsal was SOOOOOOOOOOO long...we did a run through of the whole thing...well...actually we skipped 2 scenes...and I was home by....9:45pm? OUCH.

Dennis, the director, asked me if I would do line drills with one of the actors tomarrow night and then had me do some with our "Abby" tonight.

Oh, and he cancelled Saturday's rehearsal, SCORE!!!!!!!!!! Though E. had decided to not be there anyway, she and Mike are going to the beach....fine. Leave me, AGAIN, with the work. I've never missed a rehearsal, but she's missed 4? at least. It's not really hard...just VERY frusterating at points.

Anyway, I best go finish my english essay...it's due tomarrow....and it's already 10:49pm.

J is going to get her ears double pierced. I wouldn't want her to get a nose piercing, but I would pick that over tatoo. However, everybody in the world has different ideas about what is and isn't acceptable. My Mom thinks double piercings and hair straightening are bad. She is WAY old-fashioned. Your parents sound pretty cool.

...1 1/2 years ago my mom was kinda okay with the nose but my dad was a firm no....but now her position has changed...she does not like it, but I think she is more concerned about what others think. (Elderly, old fashioned folks, other parents, people I work with, etc)
And I totally understand, but times are changing, if we had to wait for everyone to be accepting of everything knowone would ever change or be anything different, we'd all be boring.
I have learned that I can't bottle up. I have to be me and do what I want and try not to care what others think. It's my life and I only get one, live life to the fullests, just don't be stupid about it.
I'd rather be disliked for who I am then liked for who I'm not.
