I'm a geek
Not that this comes as a shock to anyone. The level of my geekiness may surprise some, as I am excited not only about being a Zombie this weekend but this as well. http://www.fathomevents.com//details.aspx?eventid=690
This company brings back the old films, Concerts, Anime and other coolness..like Opera from the MET. The films are usually on an anniversary of some sort although I am shocked they missed a big one as this year is the 20th anniversary of The Princess Bride. A movie that has a quote for every occasion and all of my favorite things. I would love to see that one on the big screen again. It is one of the few movies that I fondly remember as a child that kept it's draw for me.
I am off to storm the castle but don't forget...you rush a miracle man you get lousy miracles.

Coolness
I got to see Dirty Dancing back on the big screen and a wonderful nostalgia fest it was...and now the same company is bringing
Poltergeist back to the big screen for the 25th anniversary of it's release.

SQUEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am going to Dragon Con. I have wanted to attend since the inception but money and time were never my friends. This year we are apparently drinking buddies. I just hope that those around me survive the wall-bouncing excitement for the next month or so.

Mini Rant
I love being a Massage Therapist. It has been one of the best things I have ever done with my life. I love the challenges it presents me with and the satisfaction my clients report from a job well done. Having said all that... I hate telling certain people that I am a Massage Therapist.
These people quickly jump in to tell me (eyebrows waggling)"if you need practice, I'd be happy to help you out." I AM A PROFESSIONAL YOU JACKASS that is what the licensed part of licensed massage therapist implies. Do I go to your place of employment and tell you that if you need practice slinging those burgers you can toss a few free ones my way. Too harsh, I know but it is so irritating. I don't mind bartering with other professionals or discounting services when needed but the leering and superior tone in which the comment is phrased just makes me want to kick them in the shins, pick up my toys, and go home.
The worst are the ones who think this is a cute and charming way to indicate that they are interested in sex. The endless ribbing about happy endings gets old fast. I understand that the intimacy of touch can be confusing but Therapeutic massage is about healing and relaxation. Not that sex can't be about those things too, but that is not the approach or the spirit of the offers. This is a hot button for me for a lot of reasons, not the least of which being that I already have to defend my profession because it is the most common beard for prostitution. Which is a whole other can of worms.
Overall it is worth the hassle to do what I love but some days are more head-explody than others.

Graduation
So I just came from Graduation Practice there is a great need for people to practice walking in a straight line, which was further complicated by the instructions that we were to start in two lines then merge to one. MERGE.....WTF.....We are all college graduates this should be a simple enough instruction, yes?.....Apparently not and 30 min later the I-4 rush hour traffic jam was all sorted out, boy I can't wait to add screaming kids and blinding light flashes. I know this is a big deal honoring my accomplishment but I would rather be honored by remote satellite like the big stars at award shows.

And so it begins
Today is the beginning of my last semester. Freedom will be delivered May 3rd. I would have liked my winter break to feel like a vacation instead of a hell bent for leather race to get things done (both wanted and required). I know I did not make it to everything but my Thanks to all of you who made what free time I had fun, if not restful.
Back into self-imposed isolation...see you around.

Update?
Not much has changed. The kitten is still a cute bundle of trouble. School is still kicking my butt. I feel as though I have not slept in months. I go to bed every night, I just don't feel rested in the morning. I could be because even in my sleep I am working on school. I was so excited to see the light at the end of the tunnel but as it turns out it was just Christine. Seven months is feeling like a very long time right now. Today I will be meeting with my CI at the long term care facility. I am very nervous. I hope they think my work is as good as my last CI did. I am going to need all the help I can get to make it through November 10 - December 12. At which point I can collapse into a puddle until it starts all over again.
As tired as I feel I still love it. I love school,the job, the kitten, all the mess. My life is so blessed. I am so thankful for all that I have. I just wish there were more hours in a day. I have so much that I still need to do before I can even look at the "want to" do list. So as we enter into the holiday fray already in progress, please know that I think of you, dear friends,even if I don't get around much anymore.

First of all I'd like to say....
Just in from Reel Big Fish. I love this band! They always make the concert experience fun and new. Also super cool bonus point to me for being the "cool" grown up so that my brother was not embarrassed in front of his friends.

Damn Red Shirt
So I don't watch a whole lot of t.v. but I like what I like, and I get attached(Browncoat). Two of my shows, on different networks had the same actor, so charming and endearing right until they kill him off. From now on when I see his face I will be waiting for the ax to fall. At least with the red shirts you knew not to get attached.

Hit the ground running
So the first day back and the heat is already on. I am more grateful than ever for my slacker weekend and to all of you who made it possible. Summer term is letting me know in no uncertain terms that it will be a battle all the way through. The call I thought was for an interview for scholarship funds was a rejection based on a stupid technicality in their paperwork. Which they will correct for 2007 and next year people like myself will be able to apply. This year I am screwed. "Thanks so much and have a nice day."
Mom wants to know what I want for my birthday. I suppose that the winning lotto numbers are not a possibility.

A respite
Today was the last of the finals. We are off until Wednesday. Classes actually begin on Monday for others but our director was kind enough to give us and the staff the extra two days. Boy did we need them. We are all fried and four more people will not be continuing on.I believe that they all deserve to continue with us, but they were told they could start again in the Fall with the new Juniors. Six weeks from now I will be starting my first clinical assignment which is making me a little nervous. I will deal with that as it comes. The next five days will be free from school thoughts and if possible all thoughts but the relaxing kind. Deep breath and then back into the fray.

Sister's night out
So once again my sister scored free tickets to an event. Last time it was Cirque du Soleil...Delirium. I loved it, she thought it was boring. This time it was tickets to the Improv comedy club on church street. Cool, we got dressed and went down to meet a few of her co-workers. As we are getting out of her bosses car the flier falls out, it seems we are attending Apollo night. The looks we received walking up to the door were interesting, and became comments as we actually went inside. It was odd to be pointed out by the comedian as being the whitest person in the room, although he said it was a toss up between me and this older gentleman in a members only jacket. All of the comedians except the headliner were funny and a good time was had by all.

So It Begins
As this is the year I enter my third decade of life I have decided to claim the entire month of May to celebrate my birth. Much like candles on the cake, one day for each year and one to grow on. Welcome to the month of Jenny..it is going to rock socks.

Blocked
I feel like I have so much to say and talk about until I sit here to write it down, then nothing seems to press forward or come out. I have at least a dozen posts just floating around my brain until I try to capture them in some form of permanence either with ink or bad typing. Guess for now just saying ...Not Dead Yet
