Article: Summer drinks

Today's post is super late because I've been busy.
um...yeah.
Article day I think?

Best summer drinks (most of which I have not tried):

Long Island Iced Tea

1 part vodka
1 part tequila
1 part rum
1 part gin
1 part triple sec
1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix
1 splash Coca-Cola®

It doesn’t really taste like iced tea. But it can get you drunk pretty fast.

Pina Colada

3 oz light rum
3 tbsp coconut cream
3 tbsp crushed pineapple

With all these sweet and tasty ingredients, how can you go wrong?

Margarita

1 1/2 oz tequila
1/2 oz triple sec
1 oz lime juice

Classic drink if you want to get crazy drunk.

Sangria

1 Bottle of red wine

1 Lemon cut into wedges

1 Orange cut into wedges

2 Tbsp sugar

2 Cups ginger ale or club soda

Sangria is just awesome. Good for a casual drink with friends.

This drink has no name ‘cause I made it up

16 oz water with 1 pack Crystal Light White Cranberry Peach

1 shot raspberry vodka

I originally named this Korra because I was watching The Legend of Korra at the time, but I’d also already had three or four of them and I was pretty drunk. So now idk about the name. but this tastes like candy and it’s good.

Article: 9gag.com

Since it's Thursday, here's another article for that stupid website that I worked for a week for didn't accept.
There's a lot of 'for's in that sentence. huh.

9gag.com. Called the new 4chan by some, called not quite as big a cesspool as 4chan but has some funny memes by others.

So what is it? Basically, 9gag is an image sharing site. Users post funny pictures, which get comments and likes. If an image is good enough, it goes from the voting page to the trending page to the hot page. It’s the goal of many users to get their images on the hot page.

The jokes on 9gag are not politically correct and not family friendly. The jokes are often misogynistic, and sometimes homophobic or racist. On the other hand, there are often pictures on 9gag which show beautiful places in the world, detail acts of kindness from random people, and share interesting information. These posts tend to be so good that they’re worth all the bad jokes.

And let’s be honest, sometimes the misogynistic jokes are pretty funny. (but I will be clear here that I speak for myself and not all females)

9gag is the site that raised the popularity of Nutella and introduced the world to Extremely Photogenic Guy. Posters on the site spread awareness of SOPA and PIPA and helped stop these acts. Among all the sometimes offensive jokes, the 9gag users are in general good people who have changed the world in small and big ways.

If you haven’t checked out 9gag yet, you should give it a try. It’s addictive and you can spend hours on the site without noticing. But remember: 9gag is just for fun.

and news about me? Got my McDonald's job back, and I have another community theater audition tonight. Things are looking good.

But I really feel like crap. Today is one of those days that it just hurts so bad. I know bad days will happen, and good days will happen, but that doesn't console me during a bad day.

Today isn't special

As much as I would like to tell you about my interesting life, every single day, not every day is that special.
I didn't even leave the house except to go to the post office.

Right now, I'm watching I Am Legend. so far it's a good movie. This scene right now where Will Smith is flirting with a mannequin, that's creepy.
Idk if I'll like this movie because I know how it'll end. Plus I've read the book, so that always taints things.

Today would be when I would hear about callbacks for one of my auditions, but I'm not hearing anything. Sad.

Auditions are a scary kind of fun.

Yesterday's audition went pretty well, and also horribly.
I thought I did well. I wasn't called to read very much though, and it was pretty clear who the directors liked.
I'm not that experienced and I'm pretty sure it shows.
But I didn't flub a single line in my monologue or the cold reads, didn't show that I was nervous, and I could feel that I had that ubiquitous stage presence.

I'll know by the end of this week.

Today is another audition. This one requires singing and dancing, so I may not do as well. It'll be fun to try though.


Last night I dreamed that I was hanging out with Mike and I was being good, just trying to be friends, but then he kissed me all of a sudden and told me that he still loved me. That he'd made a mistake.

It hurts a little less now that I've been awake for a while and the dream is fading. But I can still feel that kiss.

Audition today.

Today I audition for some community theater. I'm excited and nervous and I just want to do well.

Other than that, I've been barely thinking about Mike. it still hurts a lot, but it really is better.

I'm just a bit lonely.

Weekends always throw me off because I like having a schedule. On the weekends, my parents are around all day and it messes my schedule.
Mostly because they don't understand my schedule.

Today is hard.

Today has been a long and crazy day.
I got up early to drive my mom to work so I could have the car for the day. Then I went back to sleep.
Got up again, went out searching for jobs. Applied at a day camp for kids--it looks just like this place that I used to go to as a kid, Discovery Zone. That would be an awesome place to work.
Went to a restaurant, didn't apply. They were closed and something about the area just made me feel eh.
Went to a game store, was told they weren't hiring, but I bought a game anyways.
I just wanted my own copy of Bang, okay?

Then, I rehearsed some songs for the community theater auditions I'll be going to. I unpacked a bit, washed some clothes, made an appointment for one job interview and turned down another (they could only offer 6-10 hours a week), and drove back out to pick my mom up from work.

I am exhausted. I'm excited at all the new prospects I have--auditions! job interviews!
but I miss him so much that I'm not as happy as I should be.

Luckily, I saw some Ben & Jerry's in the freezer, so that'll cheer me up.
