A Time For Happiness!!

I had a great weekend!! My birthday was awesome.. spent it with awesome friends.. did awesome thangs.. LOL j/k.. But no really.. it was great.. Now that I am a 1/4 of a century I making new changes.. Can't wait until MAY.. That is the beginning of my life.. All the times that I've struggles, all the hard times, all the pain, all the times I had to stick in there and hold on.. well.. it's finally paying off... so much excitement I can't even express it in this post.. Once I come down to a lower level of excitement I'll write it from beginning to end.. right now I'm just entirely too happy!!!

Sleep

So.. as I said in my previous blog, I work for a production company.. just one of my three jobs..plus school full time. "When do I sleep," you ask? "Never.." Thanks to my handy dandy cell phone tat doubles over as a device of communication and an alarm clock, I get to where I need to be on time while staying in contact.

So, this one particular night I actually got to go to sleep a few hours early than normal. For obvious reason i was truly pleased. This same night as 12:45am rolls around my favorite cousin from Texas is calling me.. So of course being the great cousin that I am I ignore the call. :O) He calls again.. and again.. By this point I figure it's an emergency and I answer.

"Hi, cousin," he says.. I then proceed to ask him if it's an emergency becuase I know there's no way in hell you're calling me to chit chat at this hour. "No, I just miss you and I love you!" extremely excited he is.. So I'm thinking to myself "It's 2:45am where he is, are you on crack.. why are you not sleep.." So obviously there's something on his mind. I just wondered why it could not wait until 9am or 10am.. or maybe drop me an email, because now it's 1am my time and I have to be up at 5am and I am counting every precious minutes of revitalization I'm losing out on.. but... I love my family so I'll make the sacrafices... He continues on explaining to me that he's coming to Cali for the summer.. yet another fact that is not some valuable information that can't wait until a normal morning hour.

[to be continued.. i'm in class right now :O) Ok... so now to continue (I'm in the library), part two:]

My cousin tells me that he is going to bring someone to Cali with him when he comes for the summer.. I say great, but why is this neccessary for me to know at 1am? Then he goes on to tell me that It's his girlfriend. Now before I get a chance to register all this information because he is now talking at the speed of a bullet and fuctioning with the skills of a clam he puts her on the phone before I can respond..

So, I talked or rather listened to her because I'm not really in touch with reality right now.. let me remind you again that for the past 3 weeks I have been functioning on 4 maybe 5 hours of sleep on a generous night. So she asked me aout Cali and that she was excited to be coming out to Cali... all the while I'm about to go crazy because I'm dead tired, not functional, but happy at the same time for my cousin that he's estatic.. bt steeping back into the realm of time constriants and commitments, it is infact 1am and there's no way on earth to stretch the next 4 hours into a good 8 hours.. and i have an obligation to be at work by 7am..

Moral of the story.. by an alarm clock and turn off you phone...

What's In A Name?

So... for the past few days I've been working with the production theatre group... Love the job... It's exactly what I want to do all the time.. nothin else. nothin more. yet. Anyhoo.. our opening night was on Friday, 03/10/06. It went absolutely well... I think there was one mistake with the lighting.. but that had nothing to do with me and the people I was working with..

At the end of the night the producers brought in food for us to eat.. and of course like every night they play runs, there's free beer, wine, and drinks. So we're all sitting around, talking, eating, chatting. So I remember the program.. So I ask the lady running the box office if I may have a program.. So of course I'm looking for my name and all.. So i see the first Assistant Stage Managers name. Then the next one. Then the next. Then I see Sophia Lawrence.. now in my head i'm like, "o, I never met her bfore." Then I say to myself "Hey, there's only four of us, so where's my name." Then I fall out laughing.. Realizing that I am Sophia Lawrence.. Newly named... now, although most people would have been pissed I thought it was hilarious...

I talked with the gentleman who typed up that programs and he was so confused... It was hilarious.. He kept asking me "So, your last name really isn't Lawrence?" so convinced that that was truly my name, like it had been imprinted on his brain.. I said "Nope, it's not. But I truly appreciate the new name.. It has a ring to it.."

I am a true believer that things happen for a reason.. Everything that has been happeneing to me could not have happened at a better time..

Yes, so now I have a new stage name.. Sophia Lawrence... Watch out world..

Ms. Lawrence

:O)

You've done it before.. just laid there... didn't glance over.. didn't even open your eyes.. hoping that for a moment that this was all some kind of perverse alternate reality that you somehow fell victim... That some sick, warped, bitter individual cast dark spell to torture and make you that last moment of enjoylast night that has been replaced with the consequnces... Hoping that if you lie there a moment longer they'd bust through your bedroom door yelling you name, throwing confetti, ballons evrywhere all while greeting you with the check for 1-million-dollars, courtesy of Cheaters, for being the greatest sport the game has ever seen...

Damn... thoguht I could cheat... Much like any regular person I step back into reality, wipe the sleep out my eyes, reach over, turn the alarm clock off, a proceed to get myself ready to take on the day... Time yields to no man... The thoughts that run through my head during the getting up process are hysterical.

Why should I get up? Why not be a non productive person like the other non productive people.. For once why not lounge around in you old faithful holely ghost draws, pop in your favorites 80's flick into the VCR, sit on the couch and scratch your ass all day.

If you couldn't tell I didn't feel like doing much of nothing this morning.. I swear tomorrow I'm going to bed early..

Forever sleepy,
Sophia

Myspace

I'm tired of myspace. It has become a place to stalk people who you would normally not have access to!!! So I think after my birthday I will be eliminating my page... I can' take it.. I feel as though I am losing touch with people by communicating through myspace.. It should not be that way..

Well for those who don't know me it is a long standing tradtion that I count down all the days to my birthday.. and since I am reall sick and tired of myspace I decided to let this be my personal space... So we will continue the count down to my birthday here!!! 18 days and counting..


All myspaced out..
Sophia
