new beginnings

Oh dear, it's been way too long since I last wrote. Well, starting over, I guess. New URL, new title, new template, wiped the slate clean of all my old, crappy, pointless posts. I feel like a new person! ^_^ Not really. And with any luck, I should be updating regularly. Now my blog is just like

Which is to say that my blog is now clean, shiny, and spotless, not a slim and trim young Santa Claus with decidedly less hair and fluffy eyebrows. ^_^

Exciting news! Erika just got back from an acting convention in New York City, and she accepted an offer to be on the main cast of an upcoming sitcom! She's gonna be a contender! No, actually just famous. ^_^ I hope she doesn't forget about me. But she's cool, so I know she won't. :-D I'm too cool to be forgotten about!

(Oh, she also met the cast of Harry Potter and Jeremy Sumpter, and Daniel Radcliffe gave her a hug. :3 I dunno about you, but if Daniel Radcliffe gave ME a hug, my life would be complete. :-P)

My golden birthday is fast approaching. And you know something? Half of me is excited to get older, and half of me wishes I was still a little girl. It's fun to get older and be able to try new things, but adult life seems so complicated and sad... sometimes I just wish I could fly away to Neverland or something. People always tell me how mature and insightful I am for my age, and it's nice to hear, of course, but I still feel like such a little kid. And at the same time, people expect me to be all smart because I do have an IQ of 149, but I'd rather act like a ditz. I have nothing to prove. Growing up is like I'm on a train that never stops until the final destination, even if you wish you could just take a 5-minute break from everything. A train of time. Heh, sounds like the name of a bad country song. ^^

Stuck on a train that doesn't stop until the end... oh dear, the angst is so potent, I can almost taste it. Baaaaad thing. Moving on.

I am so incredibly excited for the cruise! We leave in less than two weeks!
