I consider myself to be pretty classy – or at least I try to be 
but I was wandering through Barnes and Noble today, looking for a way to spend a gift card I got for Christmas and I stumbled across a book called “How to be Lovely”. It is a book about how to emanate Audrey Hepburn. Now usually I probably would have glimpsed through the pages, chuckled and left it behind – BUT – just this morning I was talking to my mom about a dinner party I’m throwing for m friends before we go back to school and she said “My god – I gave birth to Audrey Hepburn” (I can’t remember why exactly that came up but it did) and so I figured it must be a sign! and so I bought it. And now I’m going to read and live by it – because who wouldn’t want to live like Audrey Hepburn – she is the epitome of class, grace, and poise. After finding m new book I sort of got lots in the “Self-Improvement” section and also ended up buying the “Flat Belly Diet” and “Dream Big” a compilation of O magazine articles on everything from health to relationships to confidence. I’m going to take all of these and make a new me for 2010 and then give myself a summer time makeover. I will most likely be using this blog as a way to track my progress – I think I’m over the writing challenge, I’m not feeling very inspired and I’m not going to have the time once school starts up….Also, come spring don’t forget I’ll be incorporating the French Living book! And I didn’t forget the cheap guide to the city according to me is coming – I just want it to be awesome so I’m trying to give myself time to make it perfect!
Also, I really really just want to make a movie — I made three over the summer (short of course but still) – even if it’s stupid and silly I just really want to film something and then edit it and show it to people.
In other news I am in fact throwing a dinner party. Since I discovered a love of cooking over this winter break I’ve decided to show off my new found skills and impress my friends and have a real grown up type night where we act like the [near] 20 something we are…I’m debating what to cook and have poured through probably every dinner party website known to man. I’ll keep you posted on my progress 
Since I last wrote I saw the musical Hair and it was phenomenal!!!! I loved it (I knew I would) and was literally bouncing up and down by the end — in fact, I started the orchestra level standing ovation!!!!!!! AND THEN after the cast did their bows they invited people to come onstage to dance! Well, I don’t think it’s necessary to say I stampeded that stage!!! I was jumping up and down, screaming and singing and waving my hands in the air like you would never believe – and people who know me probably wouldn’t believe this because in life I truly am a very reserved person but the show lighted such a passion in me that I just totally let loose, let go and was free — and I danced and sang on a BROADWAY STAGE!!! That used to be my dream – before I realized I was definitely meant for behind the scenes work
Anyway, go see Hair it was amazing — and Gavin Creel totally touched my shoulder at the stage door when I told him how I saw them at the National Equality March in D.C back in Oct. — he thanked me for being there and it felt like a really genuine moment.It capped an already wonderful night.
So now, I will be rocking out to Hair all the time and am considering becoming a hippie. lol – or at least throwing a hippie themed party….hmmm….
Peace.
