What Ever Happened to Saturday Night? - The Rocky Horror Picture Show

I am getting WAY better at this. It has only been two weeks since my last post. That is definitely a step up. Be proud be very proud. Lets evaluate shall we? I can't really complain too much actually. There might be a guy who has caught my eye...okay..well..he definitely caught my eye. Apparently I am very near in his eyesight as well. I do not want to talk too much about it because I would rather not jinx this one. He has a car and a job though so we are on the right track.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I should probably go on about the things I am thankful for. This time of the year most people write about how thankful they are for their family. Maybe this makes me a terrible person, but this year I am MOST thankful for my friends. They have been there for me this year like no one could ever even dream of wishing for. I am truly blessed to have the friends I do. They seriously are the most supportive group of people ever. I do not think anyone is as lucky as I am. If you are taking the time to read this right now then you are more than likely one of the people I consider to be part of the category I am praising right now.

Been thinking about my mom more then usual. I had an emotional melt down on set last week. (Which might I add is pretty much the LAST place you want to be seen bawling your eyes out.) The call started out with 50 people and half way through the day they asked who wanted to stay and who wanted to go. The AD cut 35 extras and kept 15 of us. It was when our group got to 15 that we all moved our chairs together and sat in a circle. Everything was fine until people started sharing stories from their childhoods, most of them girls, most of them about shopping and going to see plays and all the different things their moms have done for them. A part of me is mad at myself for feeling the way I did because I have experienced most of those things with Marlene. I think it was jealousy that got the better of me. Me being jealous of the relationships, the bonds that they have with their mothers. Now it might be mostly my own fault that I do not have that kind of bond or loving friendship with Marlene. I don't hate her. I am thrilled that my father has found someone that makes him happy. Someone that he wants to spend his life with. He is a good man and deserves to have someone in his life. At this point in my life, I simply want him to be happy and feel love. Love is such a powerful emotion. Love is power itself.

I am going to end on that note today. Everyone deserves to have love in their life. People make mistakes, they make the wrong decisions, say the wrong things, take the wrong turns in life, but eventually we get back on the path we were and are destined to take. Don't be afraid to open your heart because the love that comes to you can drive you to be the best person you can be.

Happy Thanksgiving.

The Man Who Can't Be Moved - Straight No Chaser

It's been a while again. Got distracted. You can blame Halloween Horror Nights. Hope everyone had a happy Halloween. I am a little sad tonight. I am sitting in my dining room messing around on my laptop with my headphones in while listening to Pandora when my dad walks in the room with a very stern and maybe even disgusted look on his face. I take out one of my earphones and he looks at me and just says "don't." I look at him and ask "don't what?" His reply is "don't sing." Now I will admit that I am no where near talented when it comes to singing and any of my friends can tell you that but I was merely singing along to the song "Belle" from the musical Beauty and the Beast.

Maybe I am overreacting to his comment but it hit really close to my heart and made me feel a little hurt, I mean was it really necessary to make the comment? Just close the door. I think right now, I might just possibly be an emotional wreck. Been crying a lot lately. I am going to blame my mom for this round of tears. She has been on my mind a lot recently. I am so over crying over her. I know that sounds awful but COME ON....how many nights do I need to cry myself to sleep over a woman I never knew?

Anyways NEWS!!!!!!!!!!! I have a twin! I know?!? Crazy right!?!? Her name is Ally. We are the same person. Ya'll are just going to have to deal with it. There is not much to say except I love her and that is the end of it. Hope everyone has a fantastic week. Leave me some comments yeah??

Piano Man - Billy Joel

I have been thinking about my mom a lot lately. Not really too sure why though. Her birthday is in November and the anniversary of her death is in March, so monumental dates is not really an option. I guess there are just a lot of things that I wish I could talk to her about. There are always those people that say you can talk them or if you ever need someone to call them but come on, lets be real shall we? None of us ever actually call that person. You appreciate the thought but accept the fact that the one who you want to talk to you can't. For me that person is pretty much my mothers side of the family.

Now please do not get me wrong. I love my family and what I am about to say is going to make me sound like a brat but I do not want to hear about my dead mother from the sister and brother and parents that got to know her. I understand that they lost her as well and yes it was probably worse for them because they had actually had a relationship with her but I was 15 months old when my mother died from Leukemia and honestly I do not want to hear about the fun times you had together. That is not going to make me feel any better. I probably sound pretty awful huh? Maybe I take after my dad too much. We didn't really talk about my mom growing up. He would answer questions if I asked them but it would a short a quick conversation. I simply grew accustomed to it. Feels like I am rambling. Let us go on to another topic shall we?

I would like to write a little bit about a really close friend of mine. Justine "Liza" Valdez. She is pretty much the best person ever. We met, oh, 6 years ago five or take a few months, yeah, that sounds about right. Over the past six years we have become super close. To the point of calling each other sisters. I love this girl with every fiber in my body. Seriously one of the strongest people I know. She has been there for me in very dark times and there are not enough thank yous in the world to cover what she has done for me. Hardcore the big sister I never had. Guess I just wanted to say I love you girly girl and you hold such a huge portion of my heart. <3

Friends really are the best people in the world. I am overwhelmed by the amount of amazing friends I have in my life. People that have stuck by me through the dark times AND sunny days. There are too many to list but they know who they are. I love you all.

Oh, hey look, it's official. We work together.

<3 love

Secrets - OneRepublic

I've realized something. Writing a blog in my own home, does not work out so well for me. I say this as I sit on my living room floor writing this. So I guess I am contradicting myself. Who knows. I just get so damn distracted. Oh well. We will have to see how this turns out. Obviously if it is more then a paragraph then I might have finally accomplished something.

Tomorrow I start take taking classes at Cardio Barre Studio City. I am super nervous. My friend Tiffany wants me to take the advanced class with her but that might literally kill me. She kicks butt in general and is in waaaaaaaay better shape then myself. So here is the plan and I encourage you ALL to join me so that I do not feel so insanely stupid in there by myself. Going to take 2-5 of the beginner classes and then try and advanced and see how I do. If I can't keep up then I will switch back to the beginner class. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Halloween Horror Nights has been super fun. Making a lot of friends (no surprise there) but sadly I sprained my wrist this past Friday. It blows but thankfully there are a lot of positions within my job. I am still LOVING it though. Major props to Mr. John Murdy, in my personal opinion, this year is the best next to 2008. And the cast of Bill and Ted. Lets just say Alicia is a happy camper. Is that creepy? I hope that is not creepy. You guys rocked it. Katy Durham's choreography is way intense this year and all of the actors/dancers are doing an amazing job at performing it. Ya'll should keep us Theatre junkies proud!!

This is all I have got for ya'll tonight. Going to try and get back into the once a day status. Thanks for reading. :)

Oh yeah, we're fostering a dog. My father finally has a friend. World meet Jetsie Rose <3

Dig A Little Deeper - The Princess and the Frog

Is it possible to be in an awesome yet sad mood? That's the funk I happen to be in at the moment. For the record,
I don't remember who FOX is. Oops. I met a new guy, well I met him months ago but we recently started talking. He's sweet. Really sweet. Maybe that is just what I need in my life right now. I feel like I am super Boy Crazy and really, i'm not. Out of all my friends I am the single one. I almost like it this way. I'm not tied down, does that sound terrible? I guess it does. Oh well. Anyway the only problem I have with this new guy is that there is a possibility that we could work together and I am no so sure how comfortable I am with dating in the work place. Last time I did that, I ended up engaged. Guess it's just something I am just going to have to figure out huh? I'll keep you posted.

Last night was Employee Preview night for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood. I can't say much since technically it hasn't been opened to the public but come Friday I will give ya'll the dirty details. You have a lot to look forward to this year. I will tell you that. Bill and Ted was not as memorable as past years but of course it still kicked major ass. My girl Tiffany did a BRILLIANT job. Not that we really expected anything less from her. You killed it girl.

I started at Universal on Sunday. Was so much fun. Cannot wait to work this coming weekend. If you happen to visit us at Halloween Horror Nights this year make sure to stop by Terror Tram! Trust me, you will not want to miss it anyways. If not, just to get an awesomely amazingly spectacular hug from yours truly.

Happy Halloweentime everyone!!!

Oh, did I mention I did background on Glee?

Life Like We're Dying

Oh lordy. I know it's been quite a while since my last post. Life just has been so crazy. So many new friends reconnecting with old friends and our favorite BOYS...well we should really say men shouldn't we? 2011 really has been quite the interesting year. My high school crush and I finally admitted that we are basically in love with one another. Crazy how that works huh? Too bad he's 300 miles away. It's not our time I guess. I've done some pretty messed up things this year as well but come one, we all have to experience the good the bad AND the ugly. It is a part of life isn't it? My best friend Rachel D. got engaged to her high school sweetheart a few days ago. I could not be happier for her. It's going to be a beautiful marriage. Speaking of marriage...some
people...they really shouldn't be married. I almost feel bad for a couple of guys that I know. They love their wives but they aren't IN love with them. It's not a bad thing. But come on, get a divorce. Just do it. I understand that sometimes kids are involved but is it really worth living a life you are not happy with? You're kids will understand one day. I promise. Anyways, that is depressing stuff. Let us get on to the good stuff shall we?

Earlier today I was hired by Universal Studios Hollywood as a Studio Tour Assistant. Not exactly my dream job but i'm stoked none the less. I'm excited to be getting my foot in the door at this fantastic place and to start climbing the ladder. It should be a lot of fun. I am super excited. I finally get to work with all the people that have almost watched me grow up. That's a little strange but awesome all at the same time. I will keep ya'll updated on how that is working out for me.

I'm going to end this post with something I know you all are wondering about...who is the man of the moment in Alicia's life?? Well we have a few men to talk about first being Turtle...i'm done with him. He has turned into a cocky asshole pardon my language. One day he is telling me that he appreciates everything I have done for him and going to visit him and then he doesn't have the balls to stand up to his girlfriend and explain that we're just friends. That is so messed up I cannot even handle it. So if I run into i'll be respectful but i'm done. Next man up I don't quite have a name for yet. But it's so complicated I do not even know where to begin. There is a very BIG factor that is keeping me from pursuing him...that sounds whore-ish doesn't it? Once I figure out a name for him we'll talk about him. Oh...wait...FOX...that's his name. Fox. Yup. I like it. I'll save his story for next time though.

I guess we'll leave it at that for now. I hope ya'll have been well. Please leave me some comments ask me some questions...

Happy New Year Happy Choices

I would like to start off with HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I know i'm oh, twenty days late but better late then never right? 2011 has been pretty amazing so far. A lot of opportunities have opened up and i'm loving every moment of it. I have already made some new incredible friends as well. I believe that 2011 is the year that we all start making the right decisions and going forward on our paths. Just wanted to drop a couple lines and say hi to my very few readers.
