Dreams and Passions.

So here's the thing.

I am planning on become an interpretor. I plan on using that degree to work in the Deaf schools. The Deaf community and kids are some of my passions, and I am so excited to be able to combine them and do something that I will hopefully love.

But I'd be lying if I said that it was my only dream. You see, I love to sing and act. I've been told I'm pretty good at both. I would LOVE to one day be on the Broadway stage. I even have a list of parts that, if I played them, I could die a happy woman. But you see, I'm not one of those people who say that that's what they are going to do with their lives. I'm not one of those people who move down to LA or to New York, live in crappy apartments, and work a crappy job, just hoping and praying for that one break. I can't.

You may ask why?

Because I don't take risks. I don't. The odds of me getting on to Broadway, or to get a singing career are so slim, I can't make the choice to try and make it. I'd rather do something that I know I can make a living off of. I can't go to UCLA or whereever and get a degree in musical theatre. Where would that get me? Waitressing? Making coffee? I want more out of my life than that.
I don't want to be living my life for someday. I've done that for so long, and I still am. I'd rather do something that I still have a passion for, but that I know I'll be able to pay rent.

And if that makes me boring, whatever. BUT, just because I'm not willing to get a degree in it, doesn't mean that I'm not passionate about it.

AND, I am planning on trying out for those shows like American Idol and The Voice. But probably after I get my degree. And who knows? Maybe after I finish school, I'll move to New York, and give Broadway a shot.

Dreams can wait.

New Leaf and all that jazz.

So. I'm going to try to make this blog an actual blog. Like post about my opinions and stuff like that.
So I went through my posts and deleted a bunch. Yup, they're gone... never to return and thank heavens for that. Some of those posts... yeash. They should have never been written down, let alone posted on the interweb. I did keep some of them, since they had some merit, but I would rather people just ignore them.

So... I don't really know where I'm going to head with this "new" blog. I feel like I should at least give some background on me, just so that whomever stumbles across this wild bunch of ramblings knows a wee bit about the writer...

So what the hell right?

Well. As I'm writing this, my nose is so stuffed up, I have become a member of the mouth breathing club. Seriously, me and Darth Vader are buds.. we sound alike and everything. Whenever I get a cold, it seems to always end up settling in my nose.. which is quite possibly one of the worst places for it to settle. Really I'd rather it not settle anywhere on my person, but that's beside the point. Also, it seems that I always get these damn things when I have some important speaking engagement, like a presentation at school, or, like this weekend, an interview for a job that I really want. Murphy, your a bastard.

So I don't know what that little ramble just told you about me, but hopefully you're still with me... hold on, I gotta try to blow my nose....
ugh. Didn't help. Kill me now.

Anyhoo.. about me.. Gosh, I don't even know what to say.
I'm a small town girl, who despite her astrological sign, likes the simple things in life. I love a bargain, and I'm not the biggest fan of name brands. I figure my jeans from Wal-Mart are just as good as your American Eagle ones, and cheaper too! My one exemption would be my Converse. I LOVE my Converse. But I'm not ashamed to admit I have a few off-brand version of those as well.
I can be loud. I have found my volume control in the last few years, now I'm just looking for my filter and my on/off switch. So far, no luck, but I'll keep you posted ;-).
I'm currently not in school-HALLELUJAH!! But I'm hoping to go to California State University Nortridge, for a degree in ASL (That's American Sign Language for all of those who are not in the know)/English Interpretering.
Music and me, We're tight. I love it. There will be a couple of posts about music I'm sure. Aaaah. Music.
Hm... Not sure what else to say, although this is one of my wordy posts that I've ever written. So we'll leave it at that, and I'll bid everyone an adieu!
