Ink is here!

Okay, you lucky, lucky dogs.

My movie, Ink, has arrived in the mail today! And when you all get around to joining me in Sewickley (in a matter of days--hooray!!!), we can watch it. JUST US. No Lacie, no defensive parents or siblings (on my end, your siblings/parents may watch as they like), no crazy. Crazy is not allowed. Except for crazy laughter at the way I am fetishized in this film.

Getting the package was sort of magical, actually. I had forgotten that I was expecting it, I was brushing my teeth to go to bed (5:45 AM shift tomorrow), and I walked downstairs to get something, then changed my mind, and right before I was about to turn around, I saw the white square of bubble envelope, apart form all of the other mail, and I saw my name, and the return address of my producer, and I got all warm and excited (but not "sexually anxious", of course), and I rushed up to my room, and cut open the envelope, and just glowed with that feeling. That feeling of contentment. It's nice to see something come out.

I'm torn between watching it now or waiting. On one hand, I have an early shift--on the other, it is awesome.

Hmm...I'll see if mom gives a crap, then I'll decide.

Oh, and Chico's was fine. Learning a new system is always a little scary for me. I pressure myself to get things right immediately, and it's just not a good thing. I think it'll be a fun job, though. :)

Love you all,

Alyssa

And the crazy re-emerges...

Lacie is in my kitchen preparing a bake sale.

Yes, a bake sale.

WHAT THE EFF.

What goes on in her mind?! It's like she thinks she's a Disney Princess or something, and all the bunnies and squirrels will help her get out of this rut that nature has dealt her (and not herself, of course). She thinks she's freaking put-upon Cinderella.

I start Chico's today--I'll update later and tell you how it goes.

Muah,

Alyssa

The Dark Knight...

Big night tonight!

1) Dan is meeting my dad tonight.
2) I'm going to see The Dark Knight at midnight!

I guess the Dan thing isn't a HUGE deal, it's just been a long time for the two of them not to have met. Actually, Dan is currently running a little late (as per usual) which is frustrating me. Grr.

BUT, I AM super-psyched to see TDK. It looks amazing, and I admit, I picked out a very cute outfit to wear. This cute grey v-neck tee shirt with this spade graphic (keeping with the Joker/card theme), my skinny jeans and my new sexy boots that look sort of like this, but with more pointed toes:







Purty.

And I am lame for recording my outfit on the INTERNETS.

So, Dan and I going to South Side Works to see the movie, and we are meeting my MICA buddy Robin,







No, seriously. That's him.

:)

ANYWAY, we're meeting him and a bunch of his friends at the theatre.

Yes, spelled the British way.

Am I a little giddy? Eff yes.

Also, I got the job at Chico's! I just had to sign my life away at the holidays, but that's cool.

Things aren't exactly looking 180 degrees up yet, but I'm feeling okay.

Thanks for all ya'll's support and awesomeness!

P.S. Dr. Rooz, I'd love to bring those books by soon. Just let my know when is good for you.
