Halloween-er.

Halloween has come and gone again. So sad. For some reason its officially the Christmas season now. 
I went out this year as little orphan Annie. I looked delightful. My mother and I (mostly her) spent 2 days sewing a red satin annie dress from scratch. I went a little overboard.Speaking of overboard,  I won the Comedy Sportz costume parade, which was only slightly gay. That was the most exciting part. I love winning meaningless awards. 
In other news, Trent and I have been fighting a lot lately. Out loud. Screaming arguments. It stems mainly from these two facts, in my opinion: 1. Trent argues with whatever I say regardless of how he actually feels about what we're arguing about. 2. He isn't very polite or respectful toward me. He will read this eventually and disagree, but thats my opinion and this is my blog. I've grown increasingly impatient with his antics lately and to be honest I don't like who I become when I am around him. I become angry and depressed. I don't think a close friendship should do that to someone. 
I didn't win the Millionaire Halloween Raffle. Fuck you, Illinois. I was counting on that money.
There was this strange, awkward girl at the CSz party dancing by herself and annoying people. It made me wonder if she was really that annoying, or extremely committed to some bizarre character. It also made me wonder if I was being punk'd. People who are that socially awkward confuse me. Here I go judging.... I'm pretty weird myself, but if I go to a party where I know no one (which wouldn't ever happen) I would try to start a normal conversation, or leave. I wouldn't dance around like an ass creeping everyone out. Its like the same thing at work when I serve a very overweight girl like 5 refills of coke. Follow me here: I feel bad at myself for judging her and saying to myself she wouldn't be so fucking fat if she didn't just drink almost 600 calories of coke, but then I get mad at her for putting me in the position to judge her by not taking responsibility for her choices....so this awkward girl. I get mad at her for being such a weirdo but also mad at myself for not being bigger than the moment and not trying to make friends with some random crazy to make her feel ok about her life and then I get mad at her for putting me in a position where I feel like I have to be friends with someone I don't want to because I feel bad for her and I perceive myself as a mostly good person....
That was just a whole lot of crazy. Happy Halloween!!!

I'm so excited....

I'm performing in my first CSz show this weekend!!!!! Elwell sent out an email that he needed two players for the 6pm show on Saturday, and I just happened to have the night off!! Whoop whoop whoop!!!! I hope I do a great job, I am VERY much looking forward to the show.

Halloween is Friday. My mother and I (mostly her) have been working on my Halloween costume dress for the past two days. I bought some pretty intense heels and I am really looking forward to getting my drink on at CSz on Friday nite!

This week is shaping up pretty nicely.

Welcome to the Blogosphere.

So, to be honest this is my second blog. I used to blog quite often on myspace, but when I went to Michigan I stopped, and I've wanted to start again for quite awhile. Using a new forum to blog will maybe encourage me to start again....
So, welcome to the blogosphere, dear readers. 
A lot is happening in Fox-town. Where shall I begin?
How about where I left off?
Good?
Well you don't have a choice.
I spent the summer in Detroit working for The Second City doing Jewsical, a jewish (der) musical sketch improv review. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. To get paid to do what I love was SO unbelievable. Also, the people I had the amazing privelege of spending almost everyday with were incredible. I miss them EVERY DAY. I had so much fun. I treasure each one of them as dear friends and I hope they miss me as much. 
I'm back at The House of Blues. Its ok. Its a better experience for me than when I left and I have a lot more going on in my life to focus on rather than petty work shit. 
Weight Watchers. I fell off the wagon a little. I'm the first to preach about how great I am and how I want to inspire others when I'm doing well, but I can honestly say that one of the reasons I have been hesitant about going back to my old blog was because one of my last entries (in MAY) was about me about to get my 50 lbs. Which I still haven't gotten yet. Over the summer (and May) I went a little nuts. I ate. I drank. I had a good time. However, I also gained about 6 lbs. Which, in hindsight isn't all that much. It was hard to be totally good in Novi. I had lots of free time, made lots of money and passed a Dairy Queen twice a day. I started to buckle down toward the end of my time there and left Michigan about where I started. This past 6 weeks I've been home I have eaten a lot of crap, worked out a ton and managed to lose an additional pound. So I'm at 49. I'm gonna try my damn-dest to lose that pound this week, and another 10 before 2009. Lets just say I'm very hungry right now.
Comedy Sportz. I made the ensemble. I don't want to toot my horn or anything, but I am SO fucking excited to have been invited to join the ensemble I could just explode. I seriously am still in shock almost two weeks later. There were dozens (PLURAL) of talented people at the auditions and callback and I can't believe they are letting me have a crack at it. I really want to do well. I really like all the people there and I love going to see the shows. I'm so thrilled that hopefully soon I will get to be IN those shows. Hooray!
Things in my life are going pretty well for me. I can say that I'm in a very happy and positive place right now. Theres a lot of negative shit going on for me too (My mom is moving away to fucking Bloomington, broke as hell, work-out related groin injury ((ha ha)) that won't seem to go away, etc...) but I can only seem to be glowing and mostly positive lately. I'm very happy. It's nice to be able to say that. 
Welcome to the Sara Fox blogosphere rollercoaster.
