It’s ::official:: as of last Tuesday: I’m going to play {Elphie} in Wicked on Broadway’s BIGGEST and *brightest* stage. Look for me there.

The Little Things
Why is it that the littlest things are the things that mean the most to us? Those are the things that hurt the most and the things that make us so happy we fall asleep with smiles on our faces. I’m not writing this out of a moment of random inspiration. I’m writing this because of a phone call I just received.
I’m currently vacationing in Anaheim, California with my little...

Lyrics
Falling asleep / my head on your shoulder / I wish that this moment could last forever / We’re perfect together / I’ll love you forever / don’t wake me up from this perfect dream.
“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”
– Walt Disney
A Good Kind of Crazy
In all my fourteen-and-three-quarters years of life, writing and dreaming and meeting new people I can honestly say I have never met a writer who’s sane. Why that is I’m not exactly sure. I’m a writer and still I am unable to comprehend the quirky antics of our species. I’ve been a writer all my life and I still don’t get it. In fact, the older I get the less I expect to know about...

Some People . . .
I’ve decided. Officially. This day and age is messed up. Okay so not every aspect about our generation is strange, for me it’s mostly the people. Don’t get me wrong, I love people but some of them are, how do I put this nicely, interesting. With all the technology and stuff that’s been coming out recently it’s not very hard to believe. I think we’re kind of...

How to Save a Life
I’m writing to you today with a heavy heart. I regret to say that a mutual friend of mine committed suicide recently. At fifteen years of age. I didn’t know him like everyone else did, but his absence in this world has affected me none the less. Though I know it will never be possible, I wish there was something I could have done to change his mind. Josh Saxon, whoever he is, wherever...
Uritus and the Sword of Fire: Prologue
When you think of a hero, what first comes to mind? A warrior bravely fighting to defend his country? A mother who is willing to give up her life for her child? A king who sacrifices something he wants for the sake of his people? Yes all of those mentioned can be considered heroes I suppose. What defines a hero? The dictionary defines a hero as: a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired...

When Words Fail . . .
Music is just one of those things that is impossible to describe. The quote by Leopold Stokowski that I posted earlier is the best description I’ve heard. I personally think life would be so boring without it, and I often find myself wishing that life came with personalized background music for every person. The first person to ever make music does not get enough credit.
In our time,...

NYC
As long as I’ve lived, I’ve always wanted to visit or live in the city that never sleeps. To a lot of people, it’s overrated and not as amazing as it is described. But not to me. What is cooler then a city operating just as well during the night as it does during the day? Not very many other places, I’ll tell you that much.
I always had the mindset that if aliens were to...
I Know Somebody Who Knows Somebody...
I’m sure we all at some point have had some sort of close encounter with a celebrity. What is our culture’s obsession with these abnormally talented people? Whether it be an actor, a singer or a model, I’m sure we all have that one person who we’d be super excited to meet. But I’m making this too broad a topic. Let me narrow it down for you.
Think of your favorite...

I'm Me
I am just an ordinary girl. I have my likes, my dislikes. On occasion I have those days when I just don’t think it’s worth it. But then I also have those when everything goes right. I try to be an optimist, but it’s not always the easiest thing in the world. I love my friends, my family, my God.
I am creative. And artistic. Writing is in my blood. Dancing is in my mind. Art is...
Fake Perfection
The culture that we live in is seriously messed up. We live in a world that screams fake perfection at every turn. The myth “Thin is Beautiful” has gone way too far. In what way is being fake attractive? In every way apparently. And all those girls who don’t fit the bill are cast aside, their self-esteem completely demolished. Everywhere we turn, the world screams “Size 2 or die!” We...
Amore
Love. When I say that one word what first comes to mind? It totally differs from person to person. To one, it means a little boy pulling his new puppy in a wagon. To another, it is two little girls lying in a backyard wearing tiaras and feather boas, pinkie promising that they will be friends forever. To someone else, it’s a soldier sacrificing his life for his country. And yet to another...

Happiness vs. Joy
Happiness and joy. Two things many people often mistake for each other. In reality, there is a very fine line separating the two. Happiness is opening up your lunch box to find that your mom packed you a brownie. Happiness is when you win the big game for your team. It is receiving a glance from a special someone or waking up, looking at the clock and seeing that you still have a few hours left to...
