After one of the most stressful weeks of my life, the cast list for Shakespeare went up. Ladies and gentlemen, you are reading the words typed by, (drum roll please)...... Bianca!!!! I am very happy. I have never done Shakespeare before and this is a pretty good first role. :) However, the hard part is yet to come. Can you believe that???? I don't know what to do with myself!
I think the hardest part will be my nerves. I'm not very good with nerves. And most times when I get nervous, I forget my lines. So this may be interesting...
Just a reminder: Serendipity is good fortune; luck. It will come... in time. But it will come.

Waitress
And (one of) the new favorite movie(s) is(are)... Waitress, starring the talented Kerri Russell as we follow her for mainly nine months.
Recently I have grown very fond of 'memoir' type movies such as Little Miss Sunshine, Love Actually, and The Family Stone, and now Waitress. There is just something about this genre that appeals to me. It seems real. Each to his own but, I don't find that I gain really anything from watching action movies or science fiction for that matter, because nine times out of ten, the scenarios in those movies will never, ever happen personally to me. I like to learn and from these memoirs, I learn about life.
Watch it. I know you'll love it.
SPOILER: Though it ended differently then I expected, I didn't mind. It could have been her plan 'B' or even her plan 'A' but she went with it. Between the lines were some serious serendipity moments.

Oh boy....
Oh boy.... I'm going to dive right in it. So there is a girl in my German class and Swim class who I have never liked. She is emo and scary and she thinks she is sooooo cool. Well as I said earlier, I never liked her. Well today, I find out that her sister is also in our swim class. "Why don't they ever talk?" I asked. "Well Shannon," -the girl, "moved out of the house." my friend told me. "So she lives on her own?" I said. "Yep." was the reply.
Wow. Great job Alex! I feel very bad. I didn't even give Shannon a chance. I automatically labeled her when I had no right and no knowledge about her. What I did was wrong and I will never do it again.
So Shannon, if someday, somewhere you come upon this, I am sorry. I hope you couldn't tell that I didn't like you but I hope you could tell that I became a friend. (which is the plan... and if not a friend then at least a friendly smile or even a hello.)
My Serendipity had it's comeuppance today. I hope it will return soon.

Pet Peeves
1. Clipping your fingernails (DESIGNATED AREAS PEOPLE!)
2. Filing your fingernails (This is one of the worst sounds in the world)
3. Counting off-beat (I don't even know what to say about this one...)
4. Juicy kisses (I'm not a touchey feeley person. A short and sweet kiss on the cheek would be great. Thanks)
5. A rub on the head (I'm not a puppy)
6. Bad breath (There is solution: -brush your teeth -gum -listerine spray -don't talk or yawn!)
7. Sleep in your eye (Most disgusting thing.... EVER!)
8. Eating too much (I hate feeling stuffed)
9. Eating too little (I hate being hungry)
10. People who work non-stop and don't take a break. (Well, this isn't exactly a pet peeve. I just feel bad for them! I wish they would allow themselves a break.)
11. People who exercise (This only bothers me because they are doing more than I do just by making the attempt! HAHA!)
12. Forcing people to finish their food. (Hellooooo! What if we're not hungry??? Food does NOT equal love)
13. Know-it-all's (Keep it to yourself... pretty please)
14. People who act dumb. (This is different then not-so-smart people. I'm talking about the people who I know are intelligent but refuse to act it. Now that is dumb.)
15. Those who think they are too cool for others (This. really. bugs. me.)
16. People who laugh at the popular kid's jokes just because they're popular (Does this make sense? I laugh at dumb jokes because I am just like that and my sense of humor is quirky. But that's not what I'm implying. I mean those who will do ANYTHING to be popular and go as far (or as short in some cases...) as laughing at their every word.)
17. "I'm so fat!" (Shut the freakin heck up! In the nicest possible way of course. Love yourself! Love others. Don't Worry! Be happy!!!!)
18. Shallow males (Hey you! Yah you! I'm talking to you! (Whoever you are-) If you make a girl feel bad about herself in any way, whether you tell her she's fat, take advantage of her, or even ignore her when she's nice to you or something of that sort, then you need to change... NOW! Women are powerful but you hold us back when you are unkind. Shame, Shame, Shame.)
19. Body Odor (Of any kind. I have a very strong nose and so I can smell anything.... ANYTHING!)
20. Bands breaking (Especially when you are trying to get a hair-do just right and it snaps!)
21. People who talk under their breath (Say it loud and proud people, loud and proud)
22. Clingers (aka Clingy people. Being independent can be scary, but it also can be achieved)
23. Liars... on purpose (Don't snaz it up, just say it. If it's not very cool, either don't say it or tell it just how it is. Anything can be cool if you're animated.)
24. Monotone people. (Animation is the answer.)
25. Two faced people. (Be one person, don't change your mind... NO Harvey Dent's allowed)
26. Personal Space is NOT overrated. (Give it to people. Don't with hold it. They will appreciate it.)
27. Twitterpated girls (Twitterpation is not the same as love, and even if it was, does it give you an excuse for that to be the only thing you talk about??????? There has to be more in your vocabulary then he, cute, and flawless. I can assure you that he is not cute and has flaws. Wow. Go figure that. )
28. Scowls (It's not a very nice feeling to be scowled at. 'What did I ever do to you?' But if you are in the middle of a fight, work it out or be mature.)
29. Someone who has 29 pet peeves
Well that's a lot of pet peeves. But sometimes I can't take it any more. I just can't... Hopefully with some serendipity perhaps one day I may be able to ignore my pet peeves.
