As it appears I always say, it's been a long time since my last update here on the journal! Interesting how the last entry was about my one time purchase of 80schild.com! Well things have changed alot since 1999, I've graduated school, had several jobs at various places including Seattle Children's Theatre and the Pacific Northwest Ballet and my current job on the side of acting The Woodland Park Zoo. I have an awesome girlfriend, Lucia, who I've been with for almost a year now. Lucky, my dog died last summer along with my cat Ruxpin. Different times at least, still last summer was horrible and also great. I met Lucia and lost my two pets, an odd sort of trade I suppose. I've stayed interested in acting though it's almost impossible to make a living at it and I recently got a cell phone. Wow, I'm getting old :P Friends of mine have graduated from college now which is sort of strange too. I guess it all comes with growing up. At 27 I still have an immense love for the 80s, cartoons and toys as well as just about everything else from the time that I liked then. I'm truly happy that I've grown up a child of the 80s. In 80s related news Ronald Reagen died today which is an end of an era really. I wouldn't have voted for him but he was still Reagan and he has a strong tie to the 80s for me. I hope he rests in peace. Ok, enough of the getting old and dying stuff! The best news of the day? I got 80schild.net! It's been a long time since I've had a domain for the site! I have some plans for the site that I'm starting tonight so keep coming back! Finally, I saw the 3rd Harry Potter film last night. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Akzaban. Very good movie! I'm not a huge Potterhead but I really liked e movie, best one of the 3! Well, I'm gonna head off to Taco Time before they close. Maybe I'll write here more later tonight, I guess you'll see! :)

It's 5:45am and Ive been up since about 11am. I think I may have stayed up a bit to long... Well despite that : ) I have some good news, I finally bought 80schild.com! I have been planning on buying the domain for more than a year and now...hahahahaaaa, its mine!!! Iam very exited about that. Also big news in my life, I got a job at the ACT (A Contemporary Theatre) theatre! Its a regional theatre that is running The Crucible until the 30th of May then its on to the Goblin Market which Iam really looking forward to. The jobs I do vary from Bartender to concessionar, and it pays SO much better than my old jobs have (except when I was telemarketing for time-life, but that dosent count cause I disliked it strongly!). Also, Iam going into production for Bad Habits in about a month, its the play my class is doing as our senior project. Wednesday was my last Shakespeare class and I had to say good bye to Fay B. Summers (Perfect name for a Shakespeare teacher hm?) for now, It was sad but Ill see her around, and I will email her. School is more hectic than ever and now I have alot less free time to do anything other than school or work, but who does?
I just bought a Carebear Ive been wanting forever,(Bedtime Bear)through ebay. I can see getting totally carried away with bidding there. There's so many things I want but what else is new buckaroo.. Oh, the Ghostbuster Training Program has blasted off! I cant believe how many people want to do the program, Iam so glad! I need to come up with more things like that. Well thats all for now.

Hmmm,last entry January 27th. I need to write more. Ok so heres the new scoop: The biggest news is that I finally have MY OWN COMPUTER! Yay! I've actually had it for about a month but just got the internet 2 weeks or so ago. Iam finally able to update more than once a week or less! Ive been working on learning more html so I can do more with the 80schild webpage. This computer is a PC though, Iam really only very familiar with Macs, well I guess nows a good time to learn. Iam still in school but graduate in only 3 months, then Ill be doing a show called Bad Habits which hasnt been cast yet, its our showcase play to show what weve learned the past two years. Then, I dont know what, I still may move to LA but that looks like it may not happen for a year or so more. Ive just gotten over being horribly sick with the flu and Im still suffering the after shocks. I did get my headshot taken and will be putting it up on the
"about me" page. I also have an agent interested finally, he offered to sign me when I cut my hair (how superficial!)Thats the biz Iam in.:P~~ So I did, now I have to call him and make him sign me! He's a franchised agent which is what I really wanted (which means he follows a code of conduct based on the guilds SAG: Screen Actors Guild, AFTRA: American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (I think) and AEA: Actors Equity Association which is the guild for staged productions.)OK now that Ive given that short lecture Ill move on :). I still havent been to see my dad but will within the next month or so (hopefully)we always go camping so its a better time to meet him closer to summer.Oh ya, I bought Quest For Glory too, that games soooo boopy! But its fun.I wish I had more time to play on the computer but school keeps me so busy. Me and some of my friends, Alex, Kevan, Steve and Seth are going to hang out today and Iam looking forward to that, I cant wait for the weekends, theyre all in school as well, not my school sadly enough though. Anyways I guess that was a sufficiant catch up with my life right now so Ill write again real soon (so I say : ) )Ill try anyways.
Until we meet again, Bye!

Ok now I really havnt written in a long time! Well alot has happened since then but heres a rundown, Ive been working hard at school since this is my final year. I have 2 scenes I need to be working on at once and Iam getting stressed. Well at least its my birthday next week and
Ill finally be getting headshots! Yay! Maybe I can finally approach some agents and get some work instead of just always studying!:) Ill be 22 and Iam feeling a wee bit old, I know its silly but Its just the way I feel. I havnt been able to update or just play on the computer much at all lately
but thats soon going to change.I heard from Katy today,an old online friend who helped me start the 80s child webring a long time ago,the ring has well over 120 people in it now and more are always joining which I love but I just cant get them all in fast enough,but hey,thats a definate bonus!:)
Iam planning to go back to Calif in march when Iam on break because of the Seattle fringe theatre festival. I wont be doing a show in that as I havnt put one together and more work aint exactly gonna happen:P. Iam getting a tax return and that money will be going to my very own neat and shiny computer! Hooray!!!!!
Ive been looking at all the new stuff thats happened to computers just since I moved out and alot seems to have changed,theyre alot cheaper than they used to be,well sometimes... Iam generally happy except iam deprived of the computer fun that Iam so used to getting,but that will soon change, ha ha ha ha haaaaaa (evil laugh)
I have to buy Quest for glory, I know its a boopy game but I used to love to play it.
Anyways mainly schools in my life now,oh the scenes Iam doing are from a 17th century play called, The country Wife (as Horner) and Stonewater Rapture as Whitney. Weve been working on Radio commercials for a week now, I dont think its for me even though Its kinda fun.Anyways thats about all for today.
Bye!

Sheesh I havnt written here in a long time! Well I ve been moving stuff into my new house so Ive been a little busy. I got a place near the arboretum and moved in a bunch of things there today. The apts I looked out were lame and to expensive so Ive rented a really nice room instead.
As of tommorow I wont have a computer on a regular basis but Ill have access to one about 2 times a week (so I should update about as often as I do now.)
On Saturday night Iam having a moving in party and dont know exactly what were all going to do.Drink Maybe?: )Maybe rent some playstation games and just hang out.Oh well, Either way I got a place!

Wow,been a while since Ive written. The newest thing I can put here is that Iam moving out of the house! Yep on the 15th on july I will no longer have a computer since this one is my moms, not to worry though, Ill be renting one ASAP. Tommorow Iam going to look at an Apartment in a really nice neighborhood, the rents only 350 a month which incl utilities! Thats pretty darn good! Its going to be really odd living alone since Ive always lived with the mom. Its exiting though. Iam out of school until Sept so I have plenty of time to get set up at the new place. I decided not to work at TOYS R US since they pay min wage : P. Anyways thats all for today,Ill try and right again tommorow.
6/13/98
Wow I havn't written in a while! Well not much is new except that I perform on monday! Iam not to nervous cause me and Roy have got it DOWN! I have an interview today at Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe here at Seattle's waterfront for a possible job. Id like to get it. I love that place! I also filled out an application with Toys R Us last night but Iam not sure If I should work there. It might wreck toys for me : ). If they offer me the job and pay more than 6$ an hour Ill take it though. I dont know what The Shoppe pays, Hmm maybe Ill get hired and I can find out! Well maybe I should find out before iam hired : ).Not to much news other than that. I added a few new pages to my site and made the front page look a little better. I think it could use a background. Ok nough for today.
6/4/98
Well today I did absolutly nothing but computer stuff. But I did finally get to talk to 80s Chica which I had been wanting to do.Shes helped a ton with my site! Tommorow I have rehearsals until 630 or 7 so I wont get to play online all day : (.Iam really tired, I think I should go to bed.

Today my class went to Volunteer park and practiced our monologues at different distances. We also tried out the outside stage accoustics. They were pretty good.We were out there for about 2 hours then I headed back to the studio with Erin, Roy and Eric. In Shakespeare we worked our scenes again and I was trying out a few new ideas. That class get's really boring sometimes. Well, we'll be performing our scenes in 2 weeks and me and Roy are set well to do ours. At class on monday we were the only ones who were off book. YAY!
I learned how to put wavs on pages so they start as soon as someone opens the page, I like it alot, But I should be careful so I dont startle everyone.: )
