#701

That's not too bad. 701 posts on this blog.

I've had an online diary since around this time in 2001. Wait, let me check. Since December 7th 2001.
Basically since when we first got the internet (on an old mac mum got from work).
Oh the internet!

I miss the openness and carefree lifestyle of my diaryland days. I wrote everything! I constantly wrote people's full names all the time! No one really read it and I wasn't worried about getting into trouble for what I decided to put out for anyone to find. Ha, I was trying to get people to read it! Trying to get babes to find it and care enough to read it and care what I thought of them.

Not that I didn't get into trouble for saying too much or admitting to things, but it was only by friends... no random strangers trying to take me down a level or two.

Here is my wishlist from Christmas 2001 according to Diaryland:

A NEW CAR!
air popcorn maker
CONVERSE!(size 4 boys for shoes)
fife and penny whistle
gel ink pens! (lots and lots and lots)
beads (wood and big plastic)
hemp thread
thin elastic for jewlery
stickers

blue bic crystal pens
neat craft stuff
toys!
activity toys
a big kettle
a nice round toaster

Pretty good, hey?
I think I have all those CDs now and I own pretty much everything by Francesca Lia Block.. What the fuck is an "activity toy"? Haha, big plastic beads (raver) and hemp thread (hippie).
I still need a big kettle but definitely not a toaster since I barely ever get to eat toast. A lot of that is still things I like.


These days blogging makes me a bit nervous. I'm nervous of negative comments and of blog trolls. I'm constantly censoring myself or second-guessing ideas as being too much or too little or annoying or something else offensive.

I'm uncertain about putting this site out there as marketing, for myself or anyone else. I have no problem getting behind products that I like or making links, and I definitely like free things... but I worry about the kind of audience that brings. I'm not certain I could deal with negative feedback directly to me (via email or comments, or what have you) every day.
I'm not sure I have the disposition or the sanity.

I like blogging, though!
I just wish I were able to be more myself about it it somehow.


Whoa, apparently I've been referring to myself as Meredith Rachel Mistletoe since at least 2001.
I remember how disappointed I was when I found out that Mistletoe wasn't a real last name. My favourite Christmas book, Christmas On Exeter Street, lead me to believe it was.


In other news, I bought 4 kinds of cheese today. $50 worth of groceries. I want to eat everything.
I think I'm going to make macaroni and cheese casserole this week. Do you want to come over?

you know what would be good with mac and cheese? Bloody marys. Just sayin'.


Oh, also, I'm going to go to multiple Christmas parties this week (four, at least!!!!!) how excited am I?
Tooooo excited.

new website!

Don't worry guys I'm in a better mood!

For some reason as soon as I got to work I felt better.
Weird, I know.
The thing is my job is very easy and even pleasurable sometimes.
And first thing when I walked in I was told I got 100% on a mystery shop and was even especially mentioned as being a good worker and so I got $20 to spend at work. I will use it to buy junk food. Obviously.

And now I'm up too late and I did not spend the evening cleaning like I meant to instead I spent it doing this:

NEW WEBSITE!!!

Castingworkbook has a new thing where it's super easy to make yourself a website. So I did.
I think it looks alright and it's a nice place to showcase pretty pictures of me and set stills and stuff like that.

I'm ready to book more parts now!

holy excited

Okay. My hair is way too long. This is just dumb. I always spend all my time trying to grow out my hair and then once it is long I realize that it really just doesn't suit my face. It sort of drags it down. If I had an angular face, it would be way better. But I have the roundest square-face around.
I'm going to go get it cut. Or At least cut it myself. and I'm dying it a darker red, I think. Yes!
Layers!

I want this blog to be about everything!!!!

Graeme: The best way to avoid getting into trouble with your blog is to never blog about anything personal.
Sass: I'm just way too obsessed with me.

Story of my life.

Had kind of a fun time dinner time party time crazy 8 time visit time last night at Squirly's. Dranks some beers, played some cards, was obnoxious with my camera.
The veggie burger that I had was alright but not great. Just the patty was too boring. The salad was good though, I'll give you that. Not technically, no. I ate it.

Candle-light plus my home-made flash filter made us all look pretty greasy. Which is sexy. Obviously.









Haha that series makes it look like I just hang out with babes all day. Which is 100% true.
But here, here's a sexy lady for you:



It looks like the 70s but it is not! No time warps today!!!

Holy gosh I don't want to go to work tonight! That place is still messy, nothing's sorted and I have people calling me up all the time to see if it's going to be possible for them to plan their lives in the near future. The answer is always no.
I would also like to plan my life.
Good luck.

Mum thinks I should forward that astrology reading on to JTT so he can see for himself that we are Meant To Be.
Good goddamn it would be so, so funny if I met him in real life.
Can we get an online petition going to get him to come here and take me to dinner?
Though I fear it would be the most anti-climatic moment of all time.

Too many fun things going on tonight! Everything should spread itself out better and arrange itself around my work schedule.

Oh, yes. I decided against the domain that I decided on yesterday because it was too boring
and I'm nothing if not EXCITING FUN AND DYNAMIC
starting soon, this blog will be located at
OHMISTLETOE.COM

I am also building a photo-gallery of headshots! To use for self-promotion!
I am also going to build an acting promotion website for myself!

You know what all this means..
I need new Business Cards!!!!!!
So many different ones!

Holycited
!!!!!

I bet if I started mentioning everyone by name I'd get a lot more traffic over here from people google-searching themselves.
I'll consider it.


My camera looks like magic because it is
