Inspired

I dare you not to be inspired by that ending.

Post #200!

This is a big deal. My 200th post. First of all I'd like to thank all three of you for reading this blog and posting comments. We've been through so much together haven't we?! I'd also like to thank my 9th grade typing teacher (I don't remember her name), and of course, I'd like to thank The Big Man. Without you Mr. Wood, none of this would be possible.

To celebrate, I've decided to post the top 200 things I've done in my life that I regret.

1. haha just kidding. Wouldn't that be horrible/awkward!?

What does 200 Calories look like?

Of course the classic 200 people freeze in Grand

Central Station:

I typed "200" into Google and these some interesting things that came up:

When I put my ipod on shuffle, song number 200 out of 4444 was "Everything You Do" by M2M. Good ole High School Days. (Single Ladies was song 193. So Close!)

Email #200 in my gmail box was me emailing my boss at Foodplay asking about Payday. Haha, typical.

The 200th picture in my iphoto right now:

Stephanie in Moab. Cute.

I then ranked all of the people that I know from best to worst. Person number 200 is Katie's friend Lauren. Congratulations Lauren, you made it into my elite top 200 favorite people I know, and I know a lot of people.

I guess that's it. Its been a fun 200 posts. And by "fun" I mean sometimes depressing, angry, and bitter but mostly exciting and fun. i

A Way Back To Then

The playlist says Chorus Line, but this is actually a song from "Title of Show". Thanks Elise for introducing me to it. I'm currently loving this song. I feel like my life is stuck in the verse that I've highlighted. What I love the most about it is the truth it speaks theatre. It is so easy to get lost, but there is always the hope that opportunity will walk through the door when I least expect it.

A Way Back To Then

Dancing in the backyard

Kool-aid moustache and butterfly wings

Hearing Andrea McArdle sing

From the hi-fi in the den

I've been waiting my whole life

To find a way back to then

I aimed for the sky

A nine-year-old can see so far

I'll conquer the world and be a star

I'll do it all by the time I'm ten

I would know that confidence

If I knew a way back to then

So I bailed on my hometown

And became a college theatre dork

I was eastbound and down

Moving to New York

So I crammed my life in a U-Haul

To find my part of it all

But the mundane sets in

We play by the rules

And plough through the days

The years take us miles away

From the time we wondered when

We'd find a way back to then

And when you least expect

Opportunity walks through the door

You suddenly connect

With the thing that you forgot

That you were looking for

And there you are

Right in the middle of what you love

With the craziest of company

You're having a kick'n time :)

And being who you wanted to be in this world

You're that little girl

With her wings unfurled

Flying again

Back in your backyard dancing

I found a way back to then.

What's the point in making it big and being a success if you can't appreciate it and compare it to the unemployed and discouraging times? I'm excited for what my future holds. I'm excited for the time when I post this song again and have a different section of lyrics highlighted.
