self help 101 for extroverted control freaks

so here's the thing-- i can't tell when anonymous comments are from ryan or not... because he only leaves his name if he's sad, and i think he wants me to think that more people read this than actually do. i'll imagine all the people that the anonymous comments could be from, and laugh to myself regardless.

so... my amazing life. it's pretty fun, but i think that's just because i make it fun. when you let yourself be excited about all the little things that possibly could be exciting... life is a lot more fun.

like ice cream. i've eaten 1/4 gallon of ice cream in the last 36 hours. and every time i think about eating it, i get excited. food in general does that for me. that means at least 3 really exciting things to look forward to every single day.

like picking clothes to wear. when reaching into a box of clothes and accepting the challenge of making whatever is in your hands work together as an outfit for the day... exciting.

i teased and hair-sprayed my hair every night for dracula and now i have three or four messy dreadlocks... leave them for a while, wear a hat for dreads, take them out before the next show im in...exciting.

i learned after being depressed and selfish in high school that life really is what you make of it. even if you don't have the best opportunities in the world... you 're gonna be alive for a WHILE, so make it fun. because nobody else is going to do make it fun for you. maybe every once in a while, but the majority of the responsibility falls on you.
and it's fun to be around other people like that too-- me and hawaii boy had lots of fun this summer at shawnee just because we could enjoy the day and look forward to the next one. and i was a stage manager. there is nothing fun about that every day. and yes, all this takes some practice, but it's like learning to read, the more you do it, the more options you have. ...ok bad metaphor, but go find whatever your ice cream is, and love every minute of it.

...the end.

Ryan is definitely the only one that reads this.
Stop putting yourself down.
And that book metaphor was horrible.
Sorry.
Let's hang out soon!

That was supposed to say "is not", so hopefully it just seems sarcastic.
