So, last night was a nice release - I volunteered at Fear Fest (a haunted house in the outskirts of Columbia, MO) as a crazy person in the psycho ward house... I got to sit in a wheelchair and wheel around at scared patrons screaming odd obscenities and rolling over people's feet, ordering them to watch where they're going.  My throat still hurts, but it was a great form of catharsis for me.  Scream, act crazy, yell at people, and get all my ya-ya's out.  It was awesome.  All painted up bloody, in a red flowery dress, hair teased up to hell, and rocking back and forth screaming and moaning in my wheelchair.  Nice.

We went to Ihop afterward, and I indulged in maple nut caramel pumpkin pancakes.  It was like a pancake sundae minus the ice cream.  Twas awesome.  Apparently my new name is Daisy, and another girl there is now named Lacy.  So, according to Fear Fest, I am Daisy, the crazy psycho girl in a wheelchair. 

They wanted me to come back.  I think I'm hooked.  For once - I've found something fun to do in Columbia MO.  **SHOCK**  Too bad I have to work all of next weekend, and will only be able to come in on Wednesday night, my night off besides tonight: Monday.  Not to mention that Fear Fest only lasts until the first week of November.  *sigh* - at least it'll be fun while it lasts!  :-) 

That makes me feel better.  It makes me want to volunteer at haunted houses again next Halloween - in Florida.  In all honesty, it's just an excuse to act.  I love acting - it's so much fun.  It gives me an excuse to rant and rave and scream and be crazy.  I love it - I can be whomever I want to, without any restraints, and NOBODY can tell me not to.  All they will do is tell me to do it more.  How sweet is that?  Tres cool.  

I guess that's it.  I'm back at home, putzing about online - NEEDING something to do besides work.  I'm thinking about applying at another Darden Inc. restaurant besides the olive garden as a second job - just because I can.  the Olive Garden is part of a company called Darden Inc.  It includes Red Lobster, Longhorn Steak House, 52 Seasons Grill, Bahama Breeze, Macaroni Grill, Outback, and a lot of other restaurants.  Why not.  I plan on going to school full time when I get to Florida.  Enrolling in college and actually going there - getting a Psychology Degree and making a career for myself.  Minoring in Art Therapy or maybe Deaf Studies.  Hmmm... that's not a bad idea.  I'll major in Psychology with a minor in Deaf Studies - that works.  But what about art?  That makes me sad.  I still love art and music and acting.  But Psychology is something that I feel I NEED to do - it's like I'm being driven by an outside force to do it. 

Onwards and forwards, as usual.
