2011 Year End Wrap Up with TGAW

These girls are pretty cool, check them out!

Let me wipe the dust off.....

Hello World!

I haven't blogged for AGES, and seriously, it's not like I've been ALL that busy! Well it's New Years Eve and this time last year I had just shaved my head and began the process of "Going Natural" and a lot of great things happened 2011 besides me shaving my head. I truly have discovered who I was this year, I became more confident in myself, I started setting realistic goals in my acting career, I faced my first REAL rejection which was really good for me (I'll explain that later), and I began to take control over my life.

But the biggest lesson for me this year really steams from me facing my first real rejection.... I didn't get accepted into acting school.... Yep! Miss Drama Queen herself got rejected from one of the top programs in Toronto, and guess what!... I couldn't be happier.

The story is short and simple, I became over confident in my acting abilities, didn't practice my monologue as much as I should have, went to the audition I was super nervous, doubted myself, didn't do good AT ALL, and hence I didn't get into the program. And to be honest, the moment I left the room I KNEW I didn't get in, but apart of me hoped that maybe some sort of miracle would happen and I'd get accepted. But I'm so glad I learned this lesson NOW, before I let it affect me in the future.

You want something bad enough, you will work for it. What you sow you will reap.

Anyways I have a bunch of stories to share from 2011 so keep visiting my blog, and hopefully in the next couple of months I can let you readers in on a HUGE secret that I've been keeping.

Yours Truly,

Drama Queen

Ello Mate!

Hello World!

I know, I know! I haven't blogged in ages!

I actually forgot I had a blog.

Well I'll keep this post short, sweet, and, simple!

Life is good, the acting life is progressing, and I'm obsessed with English shows... Yeah I said it.... ENGLISH SHOWS. I just can't get enough of them! With out a doubt in my mind English shows are way more suburb in writing, acting, and are more relateable then those Hollywood shows like 90210, Degrassi (Canadian), and Gossip Girl.

My obsession started when I stumbled upon a show entitled Misfits, and dearbabyJesus with out a lie I watched all the seasons within two days, then re watched it. THATS HOW GOOD IT WAS. Bad news, season 3 of Misfits wasn't premiering again until the fall. So I began watching a show called Skins, and LORD HELP ME I watched all of season 1 in two days.... TWO DAYS. So if you ever get a chance to check these shows out... Please do, you will be entertained beyond belief.

Yours Truly,

Drama Queen

September soon come...

Hello World!

I know I haven't blogged in a while, my apologies, but I come bearing good news. Recently I've been feeling a bit idle with my year off, I felt like I wasn't accomplishing anything.

Luckily I've been saving, because my Mom came at me with HUGE news.... READY??!?!

She's going to let me live on campus and help me cover the costs!! It's always been a dream of mine to live abroad with room mates and all that jazz, due to obvious financial issues, and the fact that I couldn't find a good school with a reputable reputation like the school I applied to (Humber), I thought all hope was gone.

I'm very excited, and I look forward to the next few months while I save, and save, and save. Although to some it may seem silly that I only live 30 minutes from the school (driving), and it makes absolutely no sense to live on campus, BUTT I don't care! You live your life, and I will live mine! CHEERS!

Yours Truly,

Drama Queen

One Year plus Three Months

Hello World!

So it's officially been one year plus three months.

Of what you ask?

Well it has been one full year since I started blogging (February 22nd), and three months since I decided to shave my head and go natural.

Alot has changed for me between that one year period, and three month period. But overall all the changes that have happened in my live and continue to happen are for the better, there isn't a moment in my life where I regret a decision I made, or the outcome of a situation. I always remember that God has a purpose and a plan for my life.

But the best change/ decision I've made thus far in my life was shaving my head. If you look back in my past blog posts you can see that in some posts I talk about going natural, but the process is actually hard. A person can go natural (growing out the perm) in many ways, some people grow it out, grow it out then do a BC (big chop), or some people completely shave it.

Well I decided to shave it, and I've never been happier, I feel empowered, free, and from time to time I feel a little breeze on my head lol.

When I first shaved my head I got mixed reviews, most liked it, and few didn't like it. I found that a few black females looked down on me for shaving my head, but I could honestly care less. I'm happy, and that's all that matters.

For most of my teen years I always cared alot about how people perceived me or thought about me, but that all changed when I met a friend in high school K.P. who really opened my eyes and made me realize that the moment you stop realizing what people thought about you, was the moment you became free. From then on I started living my life almost "selfishly" (in a good way) always putting myself first, and doing what I though was right never wondering what people thought about me, and since then I never looked back.

Yours truly,

Drama Queen
