Star's Stellar Journal

A very exciting day, full of laughter, smiles, and kindred spirits.

I know it's been awhile since I blogged, but I haven't had anything to write about so you shall have to forgive me.  I won't come in here just to write bout that scoundral BerlinNH just to fill a blog page even though he thinks that would be most entertaining to my readers lol.  I slept in a long time today I'm not sure why but I didn't get up till noon.  I got up showered and got dressed then Harrased Berlin by making him watch Robert Pattinson on the Ellen show with me on tv LOL.

Then I had to leave for Drama Team practice at church, we are acting out a song being sung on Easter Sunday and we were having the final dress rehearsal.  We had a lot of fun laughing at each others costume and at funny things that  happened and were said and joked aobut.  Then I went to the College Class cookout.  I was late due to the Dreama Team Practice they had finished eating and were talking over drinks and some cookies.  They saved a burger for me though which touched me cause they weren't sure I was gona be there.  So I ate and listened to each of the students talk about their summer plans.  I told them how I was planning to continue teaching swimming lessons at the Bible Camp, and about the Face Painting conference in July.  And about the Strawberry Festival going on next month and hoped they would be able to attend.

Then one of the other college students brought out some of her sketches to share with us.  Her sketeches were amazing cause she's only had maybe a few formal lessons and they were years ago.  But she practices all the time, they were mostly of creatures similar to elves, but what was amazing they were characters in a book she was writing and sat there telling us about the characters back grounds and things as if they were good freinds of hers instead of fictional characters she even had voices for them that she did for us.  The drawings were amazing they had such expresions and eyes that pulled you into the drawing and made you a part of it's world.  They were so cool there were different breeds of elves.  There were good elves and bad elves, even elves that turned from bad to good!

The story she is writing sounds so amazing cause she knows each of the characters so well.  I hope she'll get them published some day they sound so spectacular!  Or that if she dosen't succeed in getting them published that she will let me read them!  I gave her my business card and she said she might send me some of the sketches she's photocopied to her compture for me to see!  I hope she remembers to send them I'll let you see them, with her permission of course.  But we had such a fun time admiring the sketches and hearing bits of convos from the characters she knows them so well as if she grew up with them she can drop into their personallities in the blink of an eye.  Its so amazing I really hope she gets them published. 

It was a very fun evening, practiced for an hour then went to the college teacher's house for the cookout that lasted from 6 to 9!  The time flew buy it was so full of smiling and luaghter.  Me and the artist really connected we loved a lof the same movies and books and when we refered to or made jokes about these movies  we would just glance at each other and burst out laughing cause we knew what the other was talking about even if the other's didnt' catch on at first.  It was still very fun.  I didn't feel like an outsider, I felt like I belonged and was liked!  It was a wonderful feeling I wish it could have lasted longer but they had homework and exams to study for and I remember what those days were like so I must forgive them for making an early night of it.  I hope they can come to the festival and maybe we can hang out.

I'm hopping to be able to see the movie Water for Elephants that comes out in theater this Friday.  It stars Robert Pattinson ( who else?  lol) I'm hopping to go with my friend to see it!  There's a chance I may have to work though :( I hope I can go see the movie.  I've been waiting for so long and it looks like its going to be a really good movie so I hope I'll be able to see it Friday.  Well that is it for tonight I have to clean the house tomorrow....the horror!  At least I have my IPOD and I can sing along with it while I clean, it's my way of whisleing while I work lol. 

Night everyone.  If you have any questions or comments please don't be afraide to voice them to me!  Either here or in email or in the chat room or facebook if we are connected.
