Childish memories

Some childish things have been happening around me lately and it got me thinkin' of grade school threats. I'm talking about the biggest threat a third or fourth grader could think of at their age. I remember it being "oh yeah?! Well, you are not invited to my birthday!" The only reply to that is "....Well....SO!"
I can't really say that anymore, I'm 23. So, what do you say now? I've actually thought about this, in depth. You can't do the b-day one because if it's in a public place, like a bar, almost anyone can show up. If it's at your house, they could still find a way to crash it, especially if all are drunk. What about your wedding? "You're not invited to my totally awesome wedding!" I think that works. Who doesn't love weddings? Free food and booze, a DJ, dancing and just a blast all around. Sure, you have to buy a gift but there are usually some reasonably priced items on the registry. "What about party crashes," you may ask. Easy, no body gets in without an invite, and why not hire some extra security if you really hate the person you don't want to invite. You've already spent thousands on a huge party, so what's another couple hundred? Or some teenage family members who will do it for cheap.
I think I will use that threat from now on. Of course I'll have to wait until I have a wedding to plan....or not.

MY dream.

Oh show business, how I dare to dream of becoming a part of your glamorous life.

Ever time I watch an award show for acting I feel something. I feel like it's a possibilty for me to one day be there. I know the chances of something like that happening are very slim, but I do dream of it. I search the internet for any and everything that has to do with movies or television shows being filmed here. I'm a member of an extras agency and have been an extra 3 times. Each time left me wanting more. I one day hope to visit Hollywood. I'm already sure I will love the warm sun and the laid back people. However, I understand the cost of living is high, so hopefully I can find a job with my English degree. I almost want to just pack my bags and never look back, but I've got a lot going for me in Michigan right now. But once I graduate I believe my options will open up a little more. I have to believe I will find something to keep me afloat until I reach my dream, or there's nothing.
