I am a Warrior Goddess.. I wish

Okay so the first half of this is from a couple months ago(italicized), the rest is a continuation from now:

So, this is an update. A much needed update as I haven't even looked at this thing since I was in California. That was when school finished. And now the firsties are almost starting to be secondies... in a month or so anyway. So updates:
Twisted Thing got a WICKED response from NextFest so I am really stoked about the Fringe. Of course, I start rehearsals in a week and apparently all my lines have been changed and we only have a week and a half or so to get the show back up and running. I am really freaked out about that. But all will be well.... I hope.

In other news, Brennan and I got a kitten. His name is Diesel. He purrs like a Diesel engine. And bites like a freakin cougar. He really looks like a wildcat, I hope that he turns out to be a stray from some foriegn land and grow to be huge so we have to move into a bigger place with a giant room just for him and I can ride him because he'll be fast as a wildcat and I'll become warrior Leah and fight evil in my metallic glistening armor with my pet wildcat at my side and then someone will write a book about me and I'll be on the cover in a typical powerful dramatic fantasy book pose..... so apparently I have been reading too many fantasy novels lately.
I'm pretty sure that demons and dragons and mages and kings and magic don't exist. But I really wish that they did. Well, maybe not demons, they are just too powerful and the evil thing really sucks the fun out of that. But, I will be an evil-fighting sorceress who is one with her animal companion and is connected to mother nature and will have to do an epic quest in order to find her place in the world! Yup, that sounds about right.

Honestly, if I could play one role in the whole world, my dream has always been to be some forest guardian or mage-warrior or something like that. Important, you know. And magic just rules too. I like the important characters who don't realize their true potential until they really struggle and in the end have to make sacrifices to find themselves. It makes it awesome in the end, especially because you always knew that they could do it. But you had to wait until halfway through the story. Maybe thats why I've already gone through a trilogy and 2/3 .. I love knowing how all the disaster is going to pan out. And war strategy really fascinates me I found out. But as long as magik and dragons are involved. No tanks and machine guns thanks. Hand to hand, steel to steel. Though war is never pretty no matter what. But maybe sometimes neccessary. I don't really know where I stand on that. But thats a completely different topic for another time.

Now that I have that out of my system, the Fringe has come and gone. My favorite time of year in Edmonton. Truly. I wish that Twisted Thing had toured. We got a fantastic response and a couple of offers to take the show elsewhere. But Jon left Mon morning to go back to school in V-couver. Even if we wanted to be held over, we couldn't because of jons leaving. We tried to convince Talbot to do it, but I guess a day was a little short notice to learn the whole thing. Scratch that, a single night. But honestly I am very glad to put the show to rest. It was a long summer with only this show on my mind so it has left me at the perfect time. I love the show, we played it out and now it is time to move onto new things. Finally. It was a long summer.

And yet not. Infact, its my anniversary today... a whole year has gone by like that. 2005 fringe - school - xmas - school - roadtrip - nextfest - fringe 2006. Holy Crap.
Well... thats scary...
For now....holy crap
