I don't know why- but I've felt very emotional lately. As in, just really in touch with my emotions and more volatile than I usually am which is weird. I don't know why specifically. Just little things affect my mood than they usually do and I hate it!
I feel lately as if I have alot of pressure on me and sometimes it just feels overwhelming. And it's like once I finish one thing- I move right directly into the next without a break. For example- I finished my Sr. Acting Recital (woo!) But now As You Like It goes into tech after tomorrow's rehearsal and it's just CRAZY to think about...and today was a horrible rehearsal for me. I was completely in my head the entire time and kept flubbing lines and even completely forgot one- it was super embarrassing because this never happens to me! I'm not sure where my mind was, but it seemed as if alot of people were having an "off" day as well. Ugh. I just hate myself because I just feel like I need to be perfect at everything which is a frustrating feeling.
I don't know why I put so much pressure on myself! At times like this it really weighs down on me, though. I just feel like certain mistakes are just unacceptable when in reality I should give myself some slack.
In other news...I have found myself feeling kind of a little bit lonely? Which really doesn't make sense as I have NO time to even entertain the notion of a relationship of ANY sort... but idk. I just feel like sometimes it would be nice to have some sort of support and somebody to just do sweet things for me and that I could do sweet things for, you know? I just start to wonder if I'm really capable of a relationship anymore and I know I've said this before, but it is a scary thought. I get frustrated sometimes because lately whenever there is a guy that I AM interested in- I am not taken seriously and things just don't work out, but it's not ever because I haven't made the effort. Maybe I subconsciously stop things before they develop, who knows. I just feel like such a walking contradiction because I really love being single, and independent, and not having anyone to answer to- but it at times it does get lonesome and wearisome always being the strong, independent, somewhat bitter girl.
I just think my social life as a whole is very much lacking.
I feel like I never make an effort to really hang out with people and just come home after rehearsal/class and work on things in my bedroom. But I'm just kind of like- if I have anything that I feel like I need to get done- I can't allow myself to relax or just hang out with anyone until it's done. Even on the weekends I do this.
Meh.
I think once school is over I will learn to be social again, haha. I just get so wrapped up in the minutia of projects/assignments, and of course I get distracted super easily so everything takes forever for me to finish!
Idk. I'm just in a weird place right now. I just want a break, really.

How to win my heart.
Apart from the obvious things like 1.) be a good person and 2.) don't be a creeper, there are other perhaps silly ways in winning my heart. None of these are guarantees. But essentially this is just a list of random things that I find extremely appealing in all you male-folk out there. hehe ;)
- Goofiness. There is literally nothing more unattractive to me than a guy who tries to come off as having "swagger" or what have you. You know, the jock-y types that try to always seem so tough and hard, boasting about the 10 hours they spent lifting weights or what have you. It does nothing for me. It goes AGAINST you, even. But if any guy is unafraid to be completely crazy and goofy and just do something really out there- you've got more of a chance of winning me over. Because I can't be the only weird one in the relationship!
- Glasses. Seriously, if a guy is wearing glasses, 9 times out of 10 he is instantly more attractive. By alot. I don't know what it is about them, especially thick rimmed glasses just get me everytime! It may stem from my strange love for Spiderman/Peter Parker and his adorable dorkiness, hehe. So guys- if you wear contacts but have glasses...you should definitely consider wearing the glasses more often. Because I think they're cute. That is all.
- Wittiness. I love word-banter, especially over text-messaging and internet conversations. I spend alot of time on the internet and on electronic devices so I love when a guy can hold his own and be clever in that regard. Having a good vocabulary is also really attractive. Well, I guess smarts in general- but if you have a way with words it helps :) I think it's because I like words as well and I don't like having to explain what words mean, haha!
- Adventurousness! I love a guy that's willing to try anything even if it seems odd or out of the box. I love a little adventure and spontanaiety and if a guy is afraid to try some of my "weird healthy food" or doesn't like trying new activities then I'm not sure if you'll be winning my heart anytime soon. I especially want to be challenged myself- I like to be out of my comfort zone so if someone is able to get me to stretch my limits (within reason of course!) Then it's even better!
- Stylishness! I love when a guy knows how to dress himself well, it's one of the most attractive things about a guy, honestly. You can take a universaly physically attractive guy with a 6 pack and what not but if he wears things like huge baggy clothes, or outfits made entirely out of camo- it's not going to do it for me. Conversely- you can take a guy who may not seemingly be a Brad Pitt look-alike but put him in a dress shirt, skinny tie/vest, and some slim fitting jeans- and that's someone I'll have my eye on! haha. And it's not even about being dressy really- sometimes just a slim fitting black tee and jeans is the most attractive outfit to me.
- Confidence, but NOT cockiness. There's a fine, fine line here that many guys cross. just be confident in yourself! If a girl tells you you are attractive to her, then just accept it, move on- don't question it. Also- don't parade yourself around like you're the answer to every woman's prayer, because I hate to break it to you- but you're not.
- Subtletly, not sketchiness. If you are interested, it's obvious (most of the time.) There's no need to bombard me with texts, messages, etc. I get the picture! If a girl is not responsive then just take it as a hint. On the other hand- if you are interested in someone- don't hang out with a girl then completely ignore her for a couple weeks and then keep doing this over and over. It is just confusing, and sketchy, and makes no sense. Make up your mind and go with it. Personally, if I get even the SLIGHTEST sense that someone is not interested in me like I am with them, I completely back off and let them initiate everything. Maybe this isn't normal- but I will never be the girl to chase after a guy because I know I don't want to hang out with anyone who is not on the same page with me.

Things I've Learned in College- 1.) Create your Own Opportunities.
As I'm nearing the end of my college career- I'd love to document some of the things that I learned these past four years that I think will be helpful to others out there.
One of the most important lessons I've learned is that you have to just create your own opportunities in this world.
The bottom line is that things are NEVER just handed to you.
I don't know why people think that's not true, that they can just slide through life and somehow things will just fall into place without any work? I see so many people complaining about their situations in life yet don't do anything pro-active about it. I mean- if you are not going to be the one to create and seize every opportunity given to you- someone else will.
I've learned this first-hand. My very first day of college here in the theatre program was also the first day of General auditions for the Fall season. Me, being unprepared, memorized my monologue a few days before, thinking that I could fly by the seat of my pants and obviously I would get a great part because I had just come from high school where I was the lead in shows for years. I thought I had it in the bag.
WRONG!
I completely bombed! I got through about 3 lines and stammered and stalled, realized I would not be able to finish, said "Thank you," and walked offstage, completely devastated. It was a real low point for me, especially because ALL my friends were cast that first semester. But you know what- I worked my butt off on my next semester's audition package, was super prepared, and then I got cast on tour. Also, when I wasn't cast that first semester I did freestages, directing scenes, and anything I could get my hands on in order to get myself seen and show that I was a hard worker. I did tech work out the wazoo, tons of directing scenes, and freestages galore for the first 2 years of college, in fact. It wasn't until my Jr. year when I realized that I didn't need to break my back in order to gain credibility- although I still worked hard, other opportunities were finally coming into place and I started getting cast in mainstages in good roles more often.
I wholeheartedly believe it was all the small, little things I did the first couple years in college that have built me up to where I am now. (Not that I'm at any sort of utmost pinnacle of perfection or anything, but you get my point!)
And this is not true just in theatre- I believe it can be applied to any field. Every single opportunity, even if it may not seem like it is worth it in the short term is so critical to your success and could be at the very least a learning experience, and at the most could be a vital stepping stone to a much larger project or goal. The important thing is to just not expect things to be handed to you. You have to go out there and make them happen. And if you're not willing to put the work in to make things happen, then there may need to be some re-evaluation on why you are studying what you are studying in the first place. Now I know not everyone is a super work-aholic and anal retentive student like I am, but there is something to be said I think for putting everything you have into what you do. And sure, to some it may seem like I'm taking things too seriously or what have you. But hey. I'd rather take things too seriously and immerse myself in my goals and do what it takes to be successful than to waste my time on frivolousness and regret not doing what I needed to do in order to make my goals and dreams fully realized.
So to all you freshman/sophomores out there especially theatre majors- don't be discouraged if you are not getting cast in everything initially- or if it seems like nobody is noticing your work. Because I guarantee if you stick with it, work hard, take your classes seriously, and are respectful and professional, things will naturally fall into place! Visualize your success- positive thinking is one of the most important things you can do. Worrying about things you don't want to happen only attracts those bad things to happen. Thinking of the worst that can happen in every situation will keep you in a rut of negativity that will take longer to get out of than if you did the opposite and decided how you can make every negative situation a better one and taking advantage of any positive opportunities you come across. And yes, we will all make mistakes, and we all will fail at some point. But all you can do is learn from it and move on. Those who dwell on their failures and incapabilities (which are usually non-existent anyways) will obviously never get where they want to be.
You are in control of what you want. You create your own priorities and opportunities. Don't let anyone ever tell you different or make you feel incapable because we are all able to achieve greatness in whatever we decide to do so just get out there and LIVE. Pursue your passions whatever it may be. Don't let the world pass by you. That's just something I've learned over the past few years :)

The Quirky Veggie
I haven't been very good about updating my health blog "The Quirky Veggie!"
But now I will be using it in a slightly different way- whereas before it didn't really have a main focus necessarily, I will not be using it as alot of other food bloggers do and posting everything I eat- with pictures! :)
Why would I do this? One, to keep myself accountable, two, to show others healthy vegetarian meals and to lastly perhaps inspire people to continue or start eating healthy!
Keep in mind this is also the place where I may rant about things that seem crazy to others but just bear with me! hehe.

Sometimes I can be selfish.
Sometimes I am messy.
Sometimes I tell the same stories over and over.
Sometimes I can be indecisive.
Sometimes I can be an uber perfectionist.
Sometimes I can come across as aloof and cold, but I really just don't know the right things to say.
Sometimes I can be too harsh on others.
Sometimes I judge people by how they text and type.
Sometimes I am jealous of others around me.
Sometimes I obsess over not seeming like a "needy girl"
Sometimes I can be too harsh on myself.
Sometimes I hate the way I look.
Sometimes I feel vain.
Sometimes I want to shut myself off from everyone.
Sometimes I want somebody to read my mind and come bring me ice-cream and tell me everything will be all right.
Sometimes I pretend to not see somebody I kind of know because I want to avoid awkward small-talk.
Sometimes I wish I didn't care so much about the things I care about as it would make life easier.
Sometimes I talk too much about other people.
Sometimes I feel really awkward when complimented.
Sometimes I let people walk all over me.

Revamp!
As you can see, I lightened up my blog some. You like?
Hope everyone's Spring Break has been coming along nicely.
Mine's been pretty busy- as you can see from my earlier blog entries I had alot of stuff planned! And it has all come along rather swimmingly I must say. Just got one more thing to do and that's an overnight shoot as an extra for MTV's Teen Wolf- it starts at 10 PM tonight and is supposed to go for 10-12 hours...this will be interesting...haha! :P Hopefully I can get some good networking in. That's really the best part about doing extra work anyways as it is usually not quite as glamorous as it may seem (Lots of sitting around, basically.)
I hope they provide us with some energy drinks!
I don't know about you guys but I'm totally not ready to go back to school. I'm just not in a school mindset anymore, especially after being here in Atlanta for this past week. Lots of exciting career-related things happened which I hope come to fruition- but we'll see! :)

Photoshoot- Behind the Scenes!
http://anniesweettee.blogspot.com/2011/03/spring-time-beauty-behind-scenes.html
Check out this link to a Behind-The Scenes video of a photoshoot I did a couple days ago, made by one of the models at the shoot! (I'm towards the end) I can't wait to see the finished photo from this- the photographer, MUA and hairstylist was amazing. A great team.

Spring Break!
And so today Spring Break officially begins! :)
I'm currently at Starbucks in Little 5 Points, relaxing before I go see Dog Sees God at Fabrefaction, I have some friends that are working on the show so it will be nice to go see some theatre! :)
Earlier I registered for SETC, and I am starting to get really...EXCITED. It's like, this year I know what to expect and if I continue my track record of getting great results on the second time I do anything- things should go really well. I'm weirdly not feeling that nervous at all- it's like I just want to go rock it out! I'm just hoping most of the companies are still here by Saturday- sometimes they start leaving once they find what they're looking for- but hopefully I'm just perfect for some company out there. (Preferably a cruise line. That's what I really want to do right now haha! Free vacation! Getting paid to sing and dance! Sign me up.)
But I know there is some work for me out there- just gotta go get out and grab it!
After registration, I decided to traverse to Little Five Points- which I love! It's such a kitschy collection of randomness and vintage wonders. I also stopped into Sevananda Natural foods...which is amazing and I'm sure a place I'll be frequenting alot once I move here.
In other news, I've got alot planned this week which is exciting, I love to be in a different environment and just explore and be busy.
What am I doing you ask?
Friday March 4: Preparing my callback audition material. I'm going to be just polishing all my material and prepping for my audition on Saturday.
For those that aren't sure of how SETC works- first you do a minute and a half audition in front of the large room of professional companies. (This is material I've been working on since this past Fall, so I'm very comfortable with it and it's not really THAT nervewracking.)
Once that is done, you go and see what companies called you back. You then must schedule interviews/auditions with these companies and attend them at whatever time you sign up for. The odd thing about it is that this is all taking place in a hotel, so these callbacks are literally taking place in hotel bedrooms. It's super awkward actually. Like, you walk in there, meet a casting director and there are 2 king size beds and a video camera set up. It seems really sketch but the whole thing is very professional and sanctioned by SETC so it's really not- haha it's just the most functional way to have individual auditions with around 100 companies or however many there are. But anyways, in these callbacks most of the time you are asked to repeat your audition material that you did earlier, but they will be taping it for their records, or sometimes you are asked to do something else, like a pop song, or a Shakespeare monologue or what have you. This is what I'm going to prepare! I have a whole book of material, but I feel like I just need to be polishing and working them. I'm glad that I have a full day to kind of relax and really mentally prepare before the big day though!
Saturday, March 5: I have to be at the hotel at 8:30 for a briefing- and then the auditions start! The callbacks can last all day long, and then there is also a dance call at around 5ish if you are asked to attend that. Bring it on!
Sunday, March 6: Today starts the job search! I'm on the look-out for a survival job that I can start working as soon as I move to Atlanta in mid-May. If all goes well, I will have a performance job lined up- but I have to play the waiting game on that. It's always good to have a plan so I just want to make sure I can be financially stable once I move.
Monday, March 7: I have an appointment with ProMove, who helps you find the perfect apartment in Atlanta. It's a pretty great free service (they work through referrals and compensation from the apt. you eventually buy!) and they seem like really great, helpful people. After the meeting I'll be going out and looking at apartments, and then I have a photoshoot with Nai, an Atlanta photographer that I've been meaning to get together with for awhile but just haven't had the time.
Tuesday, March 8: Early in the morning I've got a shoot with Jeff Marsh, who is a photographer in Atlanta as well. This is going to be a Sophia Loren themed/vintage shoot which will be really fun I think! You know me and retro stylings. Love it. After that, you guessed it- more apartment and job-hunting goings on.
Wednesday, March 9: Another photoshoot with Bryant of Shooterfoto magazine- of which I am currently the March cover girl for! :) The magazine is geared towards aspiring models and those working in the modeling industry, and you can order it online. www.shooterfoto.info is the website that you can order it from, and here is the cover:
I have a feature and spread which is pretty neat! It's also pretty cool to see yourself on the cover of any sort of publication. After the shoot, you guessed it- more job searching! I'm actually planning on maybe going to some open-calls for some agencies in the area as well, just have to research when those are.
And that is it as for my planned out days- although I'm hoping to maybe grasp onto some extra work at some point as well and make some money while I'm here. If not, and I feel like my job hunting went successfully- I will probably visit Augusta for a few days since I'm halfway there anyways.
So that's my Spring Break in a nutshell for ya. It's mainly working and preparing for my future, but I'm excited for that. It's hard for me to *just* relax, anyways. I've got to put all my energy into something! Might as well be something productive! Can't wait til I graduate and I don't have to focus my energy onto things like studying for Midterms and projects and the like. Because I feel like I always tend to over-do everything, the perfectionist that I am, and it just carves away at my time but I just feel like I can't slight over anything and do it half-way. Even though I have Senioritis something awful!
One thing I am really excited about is As You Like It, though! I got to try on most of my costume already and have finally seen the renderings- our costume designer has placed it in Napoleonic France (Think: Pride and Prejudice but kicked up a notch- my character is a princess- the daughter of a Duke) and I have the loveliest gown with white lace and ruffles and pink brocade, white gloves and a TRAIN! I feel like such a pretty pretty princess! It is just going to make Celia even more of a diva than she is already, haha! :)
I'll keep everyone posted on the results of my SETC audition- everyone out there in cyber-land keep your fingers crossed for me and the rest of the CSU students auditioning this weekend! Here's hoping to employment for all.
I'm currently at Starbucks in Little 5 Points, relaxing before I go see Dog Sees God at Fabrefaction, I have some friends that are working on the show so it will be nice to go see some theatre! :)

It's a pretty great free service (they work through referrals and compensation from the apt. you eventually buy!) and they seem like really great, helpful people. After the meeting I'll be going out and looking at apartments, and then I have a photoshoot with Nai, an Atlanta photographer that I've been meaning to get together with for awhile but just haven't had the time.
Tuesday, March 8: Early in the morning I've got a shoot with Jeff Marsh, who is a photographer in Atlanta as well. This is going to be a Sophia Loren themed/vintage shoot which will be really fun I think! You know me and retro stylings. Love it. After that, you guessed it- more apartment and job-hunting goings on.
Wednesday, March 9: Another photoshoot with Bryant of Shooterfoto magazine- of which I am currently the March cover girl for! :) The magazine is geared towards aspiring models and those working in the modeling industry, and you can order it online. www.shooterfoto.info is the website that you can order it from, and here is the cover:
And that is it as for my planned out days- although I'm hoping to maybe grasp onto some extra work at some point as well and make some money while I'm here. If not, and I feel like my job hunting went successfully- I will probably visit Augusta for a few days since I'm halfway there anyways.
So that's my Spring Break in a nutshell for ya. It's mainly working and preparing for my future, but I'm excited for that. It's hard for me to *just* relax, anyways. I've got to put all my energy into something! Might as well be something productive! Can't wait til I graduate and I don't have to focus my energy onto things like studying for Midterms and projects and the like. Because I feel like I always tend to over-do everything, the perfectionist that I am, and it just carves away at my time but I just feel like I can't slight over anything and do it half-way. Even though I have Senioritis something awful!
One thing I am really excited about is As You Like It, though! I got to try on most of my costume already and have finally seen the renderings- our costume designer has placed it in Napoleonic France (Think: Pride and Prejudice but kicked up a notch- my character is a princess- the daughter of a Duke) and I have the loveliest gown with white lace and ruffles and pink brocade, white gloves and a TRAIN! I feel like such a pretty pretty princess! It is just going to make Celia even more of a diva than she is already, haha! :)
I'll keep everyone posted on the results of my SETC audition- everyone out there in cyber-land keep your fingers crossed for me and the rest of the CSU students auditioning this weekend! Here's hoping to employment for all.
