Scare LA

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. - Palms 1:1




FOOD
I would have taken my own picture, but I forgot! :-(
     So, a good friend of mine is a full time student, so she doesn't have a lot of time to prepare dinner for her and her room mate, so they take advantage of Dream Dinners.  ( I finally figured out what they were really called!)  Some of you might have already known about this, but I had no idea.  And I think it's pretty cool.  It's this place where you go, choose the meals you want from their menu, then they freeze it for you to thaw and prepare later.  Everything is already separated and measured out.  All you need to do is fallow the directions.  Super easy, and super delicious!  My friend gave me a meal that they weren't going to get around to eating.  She gave me Coconut Shrimp with Jasmine Rice.  And let me tell you, it was amazing!  Super good, and easy to prepare food!  So, if you're a person who doesn't have a lot of time, Dream Dinners are pretty perfect for you!







FITNESS

      I always try to find different, fun ways to exercise outside the gym.  And I can't believe I haven't mentioned this before.  If you really want to get your heart pumping and blood flowing, try a dace class!  Even beginner dance classes give you a great work out!   I'm not talking about Zumba.  I know a lot of people love Zumba and swear by it, but I personally don't like it.  I much rather prefer actual dance classes.
    The best thing about this idea is, you can choose any type of dance you want.  They'll benefit you greatly!  If you're looking for muscle isolation and structure, ballet is defiantly what you're looking for.  But if you're not really into structure, and more want to have fun, go for a Jazz or Hip-hop class!  Dance is also a wonderful tool for your brain.  It's perfect for exercising your memory!  Once a week, or 5 times a week, anything you do that's new to your body is a good thing!  Always try and explore new ways to improve your body.  Not just physically, but mentally as well.






WRITING/LITERATURE


    I'm going to share a monolauge I wrote for a scene study class I use to take.  I was one of those kids that tried to become an actor.  I didn't get far but the experiences I had were wonderful.  I got to work on a few movies and tv shows, and meet a lot of amazing people.  After all that was done and over with, I realized how much I loved acting.  So when I got older I participated in an improv class.  Most of our assignment were to write a monolauge, memorize it, and perform it for the class.  This is what I came up with.  Let me give you a little bit of a background:  This scene is about a young girl who tried to kill her self.  She's not your average suicide victim.  She seems to happy-go-lucky to be in a situation like this.   Now she's in a mental health facility   This scene takes place during a group meeting where the patients are taking turns voicing what they would like to see improved around the facility.


"Me?  Oh, okay.  Umm… Hi.  My name is Cassie Young.  I’m 19 years old.  As you all know I tried to kill myself.  Yeah, didn’t work.  I’ve been here for about 6 months.  And it’s been a great 6 months.  I’ve met a lot of new people.  I made some new friends; kind of.  So, list five things I think could be improved around here?   
1.  Our medication.  Totally killing the taste buds.  So… I was wondering if we could replace them with something that tastes a little better.  Maybe, umm… Like Flintstone Vitamins.  I’m sure everyone would love those.  Just an idea.  Okay. 

 2. These uniforms.  They’re really really ugly.  No offense to the designer.  I know everyone is an artist in their own way, but come on!  Could we at least have a color other then white?  ‘Cause it’s really depressing.  And I don’t like being depressed...  OBVIOUSLY! 

3.  Actually, can I make number 3 a question?  Okay.  What is a lab-otto-me?  …   That’s okay, I’ll just skip to number 4.  Is there anything we can do about the big stain on the wall in the rec room?  ‘Cause it’s kind of gross.  Although it is fun to stair at when there is nothing to do.  When you look at it really closely you can see two bunnies playing leap frog.   

And number 5. … Crap.  I forgot.  I hate that." 

  It's not that great, but I did have a lot of fun writing  and performing it! :D
