Dear Blog...

We've been together for a good two years now. I think that is a good achievement for a relationship between a girl and her blog. We've been through a lot together, but we need to talk.

You see, things change. I have been through a lot in the past two years including going to a new school, making new friends, saying goodbye to things, and dealing with a lot of things that change a person's character, personality, and the way they look at everything.

Throughout all of this, you've been waiting. You've always been there, every time I neglected you, every time I needed someone to vent to, and I thank you immensely for that.

But something has got to give.

What I'm saying is...I'm moving on. I have made a new blog in which I shall record things about future-two-years me.

This does not in any way mean that I don't appreciate you or that you will be lost forever. You can just hang out like I know you love doing and you'll be sort of a history book of my later middle school years. I mean, hey! You were there for my Twilight phase! That's something you should be proud to report ;)!

Thank you so much for hanging out with me. I really appreciate you, because, y'know, you were my first blog!

Well, I guess I'll see you some time soon.

Love always,

Rachel

For anyone who is interested:

That new blog I was talking about, you can check it out here.

I haven't posted anything yet but I plan to within the next day.

The content will be the similar random meaningful musings that were part of the last bit of this blog. Go over if you want and check it out if you want.

Thanks!

Thinking Out Loud

You know, I think I have officially given the up the catch-up game on here and even when I don't post for months, you're getting a post as if this were a weekly blog.
Time for some random musings that I have been thinking about in the recent weeks.

1) I went to see Les Miserables at the Hippodrome in Baltimore City a few weeks ago, and ever since, it has been HAUNTING ME! I loved it and it has been all I think about lately! Every chance my mind gets it has to fill the empty spaces with verses of "A Little Fall of Rain;" fantasies of playing Eponine; and comparisons of the Original Broadway cast Marius, the Marius at the show I saw, and Nick Jonas who sang the part at the 25th anniversary concert. It is extremely difficult to describe how thinking about it makes me feel. I think while talking about it with mom I used the word "tingly." Maybe it makes me feel tingly...

2) While contemplating this evening what I might write in a blog post, I was thinking about letting this blog spread its wings and fly (that was a phrase used in place of an ugly word I didn't want to use: abandon). My first post on this blog was in 2009. Stuff has changed in two years, and I was thinking about making my blogging habits a little more complex. I mentioned in jest a weekly blog earlier, but I think that might be the way I'm going. I would just need to think about something to blog about each week, a theme, a shtick.
I quite like writing letters.
I quite like writing about situations I encounter.
...hmmm...Something to ponder further.

3) I suddenly had the desire to make a documentary the other.
I think it would be about band. I like band a lot. I don't know if I've mentioned it before but I really like band. I can't think of any other subjects to base a documentary on.
*This thought ends vaguely...*not ashamed**

4) After seeing Les Mis, I kind of want to be an actress. Just seeing how talented the actors in Les Mis were just made me even more passionate about musical theatre. Plus my voice teacher is amazing and always uplifting and is so wonderful about saying the right things. I've had a dry spell when it comes to being in shows in the past few years, and she told me a couple weeks ago, "Your time will come." And on top of that, she just makes me feel so good about myself and about my talent and about everything. She really helps instill a belief in myself. I am blessed to have her in my life.


I think four is enough for now.
I enjoy coming back here every once in a while to say hey and talk about stuff that anyone could read without me caring.
Thanks for listening!
