It was a graveyard SMASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yes, my title is from the moster mash, and yes, i'm doing it right now. How does one Monster Mash? This is the question of the day....

Anyway, I am super pumped for Rocky to open tonight. As Tim said, we've all put alot of Blood, Sweat, Tears, and Semen into this production, and it's just gonna be a grand old time. <3

Here's what you can expect if you come to see it!



I am going to miss this cast so much after the show is done. There's nothing like being absolutely comfortable dancing and singing in your underwear with a group of people.

The newspaper in Monroe did a giagantic article about the show, and I'm all over the pictures. It's fantastic. I need to scan it for sure!

In other news, Throat Coat Tea (thank you Ray) is making a big impression on the lives of myself and my cast, haha. I'm drinking some right now!

Everything else is peachy keen, I'm working out the details to stuff like school, debt, and jobs. You do what you have to do, even if it's not what you exactly WANT to do. Everything happens for a reason and a half, and it's gonna be okay.

One last commercial from Robert, and then I'm off to write out invitations to Laura's Batchlorette Party!

I've always loved Chris Rock.

(CNN) -- Republican presidential candidate John McCain is just holding on like a boxer before he gets knocked out, comedian Chris Rock says.


Comedian Chris Rock told Larry King he's proud of Barack Obama's character.

Rock, an avid supporter of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, spoke with CNN's Larry King on Thursday. He said Obama is more grounded with your average American -- not somebody like McCain with "12 houses."

"The other guy [McCain] can lose five houses," Rock said.

"I'll go with the guy with one house. The guy with one house is scared about losing his house." Watch Chris Rock describe a beaten up McCain »

King began the interview by asking Rock about Thursday's economic bailout talks when Obama and McCain went to the White House for discussions with the nation's top leaders.

KING: Obama and McCain at opposite ends of the table. What do you make of it?

ROCK: What do I make of it? If this was a boxing match, McCain would be holding.

KING: Holding on?

ROCK: Yes. It's like he got hit really hard in the stomach like, 'OK. I can't let him go. He's going to knock me out.' So that's what appears to be going on right now. Just a hold.

KING: Has the financial crisis affected you?

ROCK: Larry, I drove a cab over here tonight. When it's over, I'm going to try to pick up some more fares. I'm losing everything, Larry.

KING: Really downtrodden?

ROCK: Yes, it's real bad.

KING: Have HBO paid you already?

ROCK: They have paid me, but the money is worthless now. Haven't you heard? Your money's worth nothing.

KING: You must be ... proud that at this stage in our history a black man is running for president on a major ticket.

ROCK: Um, you know what? I'm proud Barack Obama's running for president. You know? If it was Flavor Flav, would I be proud? No. I don't support Barack Obama because he's black.


KING: I said just as a proud feeling. That's normal.

ROCK: There's a proud feeling because of the character of the man. You know, I was -- I supported John Kerry and, you know -- and what's my man? Al Gore.

KING: Al Gore.

ROCK: But this guy seems to be a little bit more. He seems to have watched other peoples' mistakes and, you know, seems to have a little bit more going on.

KING: From a comedic stand point, who is funnier, McCain or Obama? Seriously. Is Obama not -- it's hard to be funny about Obama?

ROCK: No, no. It's weird. People ask me that all the time. ... McCain jokes are just easy jokes, like I don't want a president with a bucket list. That's like a McCain joke. Those jokes are easy. It's like you basically, you know, you know, take the dust off your Reagan jokes and tell them again. You know?

But Obama, oh, this is a whole new set of jokes. I got to find a whole new move to the basket here. So I kind of hope he wins.

KING: Didn't you introduce Obama at a rally?

ROCK: I introduced Obama at the Apollo Theater not too long ago. I think Obama would be great. I mean, just look the big thing right now is the economy. And people are going broke. And here: The choice isn't Republican or Democrat. The choice is you got a guy that's worth $150 million with 12 houses against a guy who's worth a million dollars with one house.

KING: Well --

ROCK: The guy with one house really cares about losing a house, because he is homeless. The other guy can lose five houses and still got a bunch of houses. Does this make any sense? Am I the only one that sees this?

KING: It's unique way of ...

ROCK: I'm just saying, John McCain could lose half his houses.

KING: You got a point.

ROCK: And sleep well.

KING: You and Bill Clinton were on Letterman on Tuesday. You had some problems with the tone of his endorsement of Barack Obama. ... Do you think Bill is hesitant about Barack Obama?

ROCK: You know what? You know, he did a great speech in Denver. And Hillary's been on the campaign trail. Just at that moment, if you watched what happened on David Letterman, it appeared he was holding back. And when you tell a joke and everybody laughs, it is not because they disagree with what you're saying. So --

KING: They get it?

ROCK: Yes, they get it. The whole audience was in on it. But, you know, hey, the guy's in a weird position there. His wife ran for the thing and she didn't win.

KING: The next night, on "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart asked Clinton about the Letterman appearance and Clinton suggested that Obama supporters who questioned commitment are missing the point.

ROCK: It was great. It was great. And you're right, [Obama] does need to get some of the votes that went to Hillary and all that. I don't understand any Democrat that voted for Hillary that doesn't support Obama. Because their views are pretty similar. You know what I mean? ...

I understand people supporting Mr. McCain. But a Democrat that's going to just be mad is -- there's something kind of really messed up about that.

KING: Have you always done political humor?

ROCK: You know --

KING: When you started, did you do politics?

ROCK: I'm interested in the world. Jon Stewart does political humor. Bill Maher does political humor. I talk about stuff the way guys would talk about it at the barber shop. I don't belong on any panel on this show. You know what I mean? I don't deserve to be near Roland Martin and Anderson Cooper and all these guys. I try to talk about politics in a way a guy that works at UPS would understand.

KING: You did a lot of Brooklyn stuff.

ROCK: I do all sorts of stuff, Larry. All sorts of stuff. You know, I hope Obama wins just because, you know, the country needs it. The country needs a change. We kind of seen what this whole McCain thing is. And I'll go with the guy with one house. The guy with one house is scared about losing his house.

KING: I never thought of it that way.

ROCK: It is that simple

Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes...

I am beyond exhausted, physically, mentally and just plain in my heart. I just really need a day to be away from absolutely everything and grieve for how I feel right now.

I don't like when I have to feel like a bitch, but I also don't like when I am disrespected. I don't like negative reinforcement without any positive reinforcement, and I especially don't like when my friends, who are doing a favor, are disrespected.

I am in no way okay with that.

I never got to take that nap I wanted to take today, and that was just way too sad.

Here's a video blog for today, don't mind the terrifying makeup. It's what's left after 3 hours of Magenta.

I want to feel good enough and pretty all of the times, not just some of them.

Karma cap for a better tomorrow.

Well secluded, I see all....



There's a little sneak peak of what you get to see if you come to see the show. :)




It's definitely coming along. It's just gotten to the point, for me anyway, that I'm becoming my character and just having a total blast. What a great group of people, too. I honestly can't wait to get down to rehearsal every night. I really hope that it goes over well and that we raise some money!

I am going home after the class that I'm in right now and taking a huge nap. Well, I guess I'm gonna go visit Jamie and Harper first. Then it's time for a big fat nap until rehearsal. Screw vocal rest, I just need REST!

Don't dream it, be it!

Things have been a whirlwind of fun and craziness.

School is going well, but a little overwhelming on top of everything right. I have to say that I'm enjoying it so much more now that I have lots of friends and things to do there. Yay for Education and happy homecoming! I hope Kourtney wins!

A few things...

Last night we went to Pookie's party, which was a tremendous amount of fun. I just have to say that I love this boy with all of my heart, and even though I got a little tispy, I think this shows a pretty good example of our relationship. :)





Also, the show is going fantastically! I hope that everyone can make it out to see it. I bought the rest of my costume stuff tonight, so yeah. The cast is growing really close and the chemistry is getting better and better. I love it, and it would mean to the world to me if alot of people could come.

Today, I did tons of stuff - Courtney and I went grocery shopping, we went to Spirit Halloween, I got my costume stuff together, we watched the producers and ate Chicken and Rice with Davey boy, I went to rehearsal with Brad, we did cue to cue, then we stayed and helped to assemble and paint set stuff.



Now I am home, doing a few chores then getting some sleep before a long day tomorrow.

Believe me Adia, we are still innocent...

Today was an absolutely fantastic day. I got to see Harper and Jamie, I bought stuff for the Rocky Horror Show that made me feel cute, I had a cute dinner with cute people, and I laughed my ass off in Earth Science with Nina.

Next, Courtney and I had a wig party.



Then, as we were leaving to go see the Blue Barracudas, I realized something. I felt incredibly…..HAPPY. What a feeling.


For the first time, in so long…I FEEL HAPPY. It’s a great feeling. It was honestly just a great moment, and I know that there are so many reasons why, but I just thought it was worth writing down.


We went to see the ‘Cudas and they TORE IT UP! It was AWESOME! I can’t wait to go to more games.





After the game, we went to Bdubs and had a lot of laughs, and I just felt warm and loved.





I got home, and Em and I went to 711 to get some Ben and Jerry’s. We walked into the store and there was no one there, not even a cashier. So we walk over to the cooler, look, and it’s not there. We walk out of the store. As I’m opening the car door, this lady BUSTS out of the store, and looks at us and goes, “OK! WHAT DID YOU TAKE?!?!” We’re like uhhh…we didn’t take anything, and then a COP CAR pulls up. The police officer looks at us and asks us what we did. Emily already has her purse wide open on the car showing them that she didn’t take anything, and she’s like YOUR PURSE TOO, and I’m like yeah, I didn’t even BRING a purse. The cop must have asked her like 6 times if we minded him searching Em’s purse, and we’re like, uh NO, because we didn’t TAKE ANYTHING. He looks through, says okay and thank you, and the lady stormed back into the store, completely pissed off.

There was nothing to say besides the fact that this was just completely bizarre. So weird.

In short, it was a GREAT day. I’m going to keep feeling this way. It feels GREAT. <3
