Scare Tactics

Ok.

For those who know me, you know I don't scare easily. Well, today something did occur that I felt I needed to share. It was something that I wouldn't necessarily put in the "scare" category, but my heart definitely skipped a beat...

Currently at the theatre, we are running Arsenic and Old Lace. I was running around from dressing room to dressing room today distributing various pieces of information to the actors. 11 out of 12 of our actors are located in the dressing rooms on the 2nd floor of the building (which are the traditional rooms for our Main Stage Theatre, which is located on the 1st floor). Anyway, 1 actress is in the lone dressing room on the stage level due to her bad knees.

So, I'm going around dropping off information and I get to the final dressing room. I had never been to this room before. I even had to search for it because I hadn't even seen the door in passing. As I unlock the door, turn on the lights and enter the space, two dead bodies are facing me!

I had not been expecting to run into the 2 dead body props from the show (which btw, are EXTREMELY realistic)!! Let's just say, the heart did skip a beat and I'm grateful that I now know where they are being kept!

Grocery Trip

So, I'm a little late at posting this due to a number of things, but I figured someone else may enjoy to know what happened 2 Friday's ago...

So as part of my job, I take actors to the grocery store three times a week to three different stores. Friday is designated Whole Foods day. We have sign up sheets for them to write their name if they want to go.

Two Friday's ago, I headed up to the sign up sheet to see who, if anyone, was going with me that morning...these were the people on my list:

Fiona Apple
Sting
Adolf Hitler
Keith Richards
Sinead O'Connor
Michaelangelo

Fantastic...and interesting....group of people...

Got to love my job...and my actors with a sense of humor...

Random Signs

So, I was reminded, while I was driving on 83 today, that I needed to post these two signs that I have been a witness to.

This one is a billboard on the side of 83 North, just as your leaving Downtown Baltimore:

Sex can wait. Your future can't.

Very telling, don't you think?! I like it because it's so random on the side of the highway.

Now, this is a classic and I witnessed this on below a used card dealership sign in Asheville:

Wedding dress for sale. Only worn once, by mistake.

BRILLIANT! I think it was a fantastic ad, and it was made even better by the placement, because it has NOTHING to do with cars.

I'm just saying...two great signs to brighten your day.

Notable Quotes

I wanted to add some of my favorite quotes as of late...they reflect some of my current mood, but I also just like them for what they are and who wrote them...I guess you could say they were "deep" but I just like the flow of them...


Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
-Fire and Ice by Robert Frost


These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss, consume.
-Romeo & Juliet, Act II, Scene iv


But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
thou shalt not eat of it:
for in the day that thou eatest thereof
thou shalt surely die.
-Genesis 2:17

And so it begins...

Well, this is the first of hopefully many posts. I am trying this in a new and exciting, yet darker time in my life. As I begin a new job in a new city, I think back on the life I have had so far and I'm grateful. Everything has led me to this point. While I am currently under some emotional stress, I do not regret what has gotten me here. Everything happens for a reason...maybe. I'm not entirely sure I agree with this statement, but it's more than what I have to go on at the point. My future isn't very clear, nor did I expect it to be. Although I wish it were more clear than my current vision allows.
My blog's address, I believe, suits me well. At least the stubborn part. Angel? Probably more like devil, but I truly think that "stubborn" and "angel" combined suit me better. Hell, Lucifer was considered a "fallen angel" but that was already taken. As for the blog heading, well, I do believe this. I feel deep down I have had and probably will always have trouble with my soul. I don't think I've ever completely understood and nor will I understand the capability of my soul. I guess it will just have to come down to that final day...
