Summmmmmer is on the way. I was going to write that it’s my favorite time of year…but I love so many times of the year. Christmas time and Flower time and Spring Break time and Vacation time and Gator time and Rainboot time and Sweaters are Comfortable to Wear (FL) time, and Beach time. I guess Summer is my favorite technical season. Or maybe my favorite season is the beginning of each season. Which is not a season at all. Just a novelty.
But ANYWAY, it’s warmer now which I appreciate SO much. When I go to the beach it’s like it’s really the beach. But the water is still super freezing. I plan on running into it sometime soon. Because I can’t not.
I auditioned for my first commercial today. I am fairly certain I didn’t get it (I can ALWAYS hear my mother’s voice in my head when I make a comment like that, encouraging me with a truism I’ve heard sooo very many times before). BUT the reason I think that is because I think I am too young for the part. It was for a jewelry commercial, and I was supposed to be the recipient of a proposal. Meanwhile, the day before, I worked on Hannah Montana…I think I looked a lot younger than most of the people I saw go in and out before me. But it’s okay because I like the idea of being too young for marriage. Speaking of marriage, I came across this ring today and I just loooved it.
I have been learning a lot lately, I’ve realized. I don’t know if I’ve become more observant or what, but I’ve been walking away from events in my life with knowledge that I am aware of. Sometimes I walk away from things and looking back I know I’ve learned something from it, but I’m usually not so aware of the lesson. Maaaaybe I am getting more grown up. Also I’ve been writing things down a lot (not here) and I think this is helping. And I’ve been feeling motivated lately. There is just so much I want to DO! I went for a long time without writing things out like I used to and I forgot about how clarifying it can be.
Sometimes I think the reason people don’t feel the need to write anymore is because we have so many other opportunities to express ourselves to others. Feeling sad? hungry? itchy? Tweet about it. Post a quote on your facebook. Write in your BLOG. Redefine who you are by updating your profile page. There’s an illusion that because it’s been released into the universe, someone will read, and perhaps even care about it. Oftentimes I get the distinct feeling that I’m reading a status that was meant for a particular person to see. Like the person writing it is letting whoever is making them sad or itchy or hungry know about it via some cryptic song lyric.
Something I’ve been noticing (um, sorry my transitions are a little…fast paced?) is how other blogs that I read have mainly pictures. Mine is mainly text. So I’m gonna include some pictures to make it more appealing to the eye. It’s going to be a photo collection called Welcome to My Life by Emily Jane Woodruff:
Beautiful place I live that I never ever get tired of
OMG. we have furniture…
And sooooon we will have a band. Roommates putting together the logistics. We are still relatively unsure of what my contribution to the band will be, other than Disney song knowledge/performance. C UNIT! That’s our band name. We have some really good song titles, too. That is for another post, though.
When I first saw this thing I was like AHHHHH IT’S A WOLF!!!!!! I really thought it was. I was pretty much way more excited to see this guy than any famous person I’ve seen. I miss nature. Later I realized it is definitely a coyote, because wolves are enormous and scary and would not come that close to people. Also this picture was taken from my car, if you’re wondering. So not as cool as seeing a wolf; however I had not ever seen a coyote before so this was a new experience.
Annnd last but not least…
You should always end in a shadowy 80s pic.
