Happy Christmas! Presents, cookies, family, and food. :)

DSCN0302Merry Christmas everybody!

Went to SoCal last week to go pick up my Grandma and take her home with us to stay for a couple weeks and have Christmas and new years with us. It has been very chill, lots of food, watching elf, watching Christmas movies, and just hanging out.

I got some sweet presents too. I got an Itouch(I have gone wayyyy too long with out an ipod), a nice coach wallet, some movies, some CDs, some money. Oh and my sister got me a ridiculous huge canvas mounted print of myself from the body paint shoot I did with Terri. lol.

Here’s pictures of our tree and decorations and such. The white tree is my sisters tree. She has always wanted a flocked tree, but we never let her get one and then her boyfriend of 5 years never let her get one. Now she lives on her own and can get whatever tacky decorations she wants. I’m actually pretty proud. Not only does it have fake snow on it. Its is sparkling and glittery and covered in pink lights. Perfect.

Happy Christmas you guys!

**this marks one year exactly since I redid the website completely yay!!

Better late than never: My Amazing Birthday Pictures.

The Ritchie Kids

The Ritchie Kids

Yay, my sister finally emailed me the pictures from my 22nd birthday. My family and I went to San Francisco for lovefest. We got a hotel. Partied.  The usual. Sean Kinsey, Max Miller, Paul Telford, Terri Brindisi, and Chris Carlson all partied with us. It was ten shades of amazing. We went to lovefest during the day, got some good seafood in the wharf, partied in our hotel, and then walked around the city being drunken fools and ending up at nok nok in the Haight. Dancing my face off. Then the next day we all went to the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival in Golden Gate park.

Enjoy ^_^

December. Hot drinks, layers, trifles, and rants.

DSC02491

This picture was from back in like April at second Saturday with my brother and Mom. (look how beardy I was!)

Just an update to say what’s up. It’s December, and it’s getting to be Christmas time. Which means a my mom bakes and watches trashy hallmark holiday movies nonstop. I wear layers, long coats, and finally get to show off my scarf collection. I love this time of year. So much. My mom makes soup and scones and I light a fire and hang lights. Brilliant. And it actually snowed in Sacramento!

It’s week two of No Drink December. I have substituted coffee, tea, and hot chocolate for the alcohol this month. So far so good. I have definitely had to rethink my ways of getting to know people. Gone are the ways of bonding over taking shots and letting our guards down. I actually have to try to engage sober conversations with new people. Which is really great though. I have been getting to know a couple new people. We’ll see where this goes. Dating is fun, and without alcohol, is mostly genuine.

I have been doing a lot of improv. Which is really the only substantial money I have to make right now. I also performed in Winnie the pooh again this year, except instead of narrator this year I was Tigger and Owl. That was fun.Anything for a few bucks right now.

I have also been fucking up auditions again. Last week I auditioned for a murder mystery at ARC and I got a callback for the lead, great. Then I auditioned for Metamorphoses at Sac State. I had never auditioned there, fucked it up royally, and then got a callback (wtf?). Problem was they were both on the same night. So I went to Sac State first and left after about an hour and a half. STUPID. And then I went to AR and read all night for the lead. Of course, as it goes with ARC everytime, they call me back and “consider me”, tell me how great I’m doing. String me along to the very end and then give it to someone else.  I am super happy for my friends who get cast, truly. But I am done. I am so mad at myself for leaving such a sweet play for the chance to be in a murder mystery. I had this romantic dream about finally doing a lead at ARC, but yet again, I had to touch the stove to know that it’s hot. Anyways…. that was a rant.

Here’s cute pictures of me being domestic! I made a trifle for thankgiving! It’s layers of gingerbread, vanilla pudding, pumpkin pie filling, whip cream. crushed up ginger snaps, and caramel. It was sorta amazing.

I leave you with what gets me into the Christmas mood. Sufjan Stevens.

peace out.

October-November.

Hey guys, it is well past due for another update.

Here’s whats up.

First of all, there was Halloween. A bunch of friends from Comedy Sportz all dressed up in steam punk costumes. It was pretty sick.

Yeah, it was amazeballs. We had a show, then I went to a huge blowout party in Elk Grove. I remeber drinking, _____________, and then I remember waking up in the living room. Apparently my friends couldnt find me for hours, they checked everywhere, and those are the hours that I dont remember at all. Kinda troubling that I lost 3 hours from my life. Halloween was fun though.

I also blacked out from boozahol a week before that. Something I had been making a habit out of I guess, I’m not sure why. So I decided to cool it on the booze for a little bit.

And then on Tuesday Nov. 3rd Bryce Marck Called me and asked if I wanted to come down and go to Disneyland for free the next day on his birthday. I agreed and picked up my shit took Matt Marr and on we went. It was a terrible plan for me to go. I didn’t have any money, I had classes that I missed, and it probably wasn’t a great idea to put that many miles on my car. But regardless, we went. Disneyland was awesome, I hadnt been in over 2 years, and I am a total disney geek. Sad thing is we didn’t take any pictures…. Sorry. It was super awesome though, and not busy at all. That night we went out and drank with some of my long lost SoCal friends, Dustin York, Bethany Deal, and Brandon Boone. Needless to say, we got shwastey. This was apparent when I ended up drinking beer out of coffee cups wearing a girls tight black tanktop, huge sunglasses, and a leopard snuggie. Good times.

When I got back to Sacramento I realized the jig wa sup and the time for me to get a real person job is finally here. I had once told myself that I am never going to have a regular job ever again, just jobs I actually like or want to do. But that dream is no longer realistic at this time. I went and applied to several places in Arden. I interviewed and had a second interview at Juicy Couture. So hopefully that will work out and I will have money. I cant imagine a world in which I am not paying for gas one gallon at a time and buying 40’s of mickeys with change.

I am all around not sure what I am doing with my life, hence the lack of updates. I don’t know what I am doing, why would I blog about it? My mood has been sort of erratic, I’m up and down. Generally chemically imbalanced. I have lost quite a bit of patience for people, and feel fine spending time by myself recently, this is both good and bad. I previously had been dating a few people casually, but they have all faded away for one reason or another and now I am very single.

I have been doing a lot of work designing on the American River Review Literary Magazine. Graphic design just might be something I could realy get into. I also am still plugging along with my screenwriting class, writing has been very easy for me lately, which is odd. Still taking a break from theatre, but I see a lot of theatre. There are some shows I may audition for soon. I’m continuing to do improv at Comedy Sportz which has been going pretty well recently.

I feel something big should change soon. Should being the key word.

Fall is always my favorite time of year. It’s also the hardest though.

I have missed  you guys. :)

I’ll post more later, just thought I would catch you up lately.

oh and I made this!
