Leanne has done it again! She’s purchased www.thursdaythirteen.com, and now there is a great central location for our awesome meme! Nicole and I as still helping to host the meme, it’s just all going to be centralized at the new domain! Go ahead and take a look!

Thirteen Things about LINDSEY!

1. I’m going insane lately - life is so incredibly busy that I haven’t had any time to post here on my blog, and that makes me sad at myself :(. But, I’m gonna do my Thirteen this week! I apologize for not doing it last week!

2. One reason I’m super psycho busy is because of the show, which is going FABULOUSLY. It is in intense crazy hard amount of work, but we’re loving every single minute of it. If you’re within a three hour radius of Winston-Salem, NC, I HIGHLY recommend you consider coming to see the show. We were just published on the cover of ArtView Magazine, and we have 2 more magazine covers coming out in the next week or so! Tickets can be bought at our website.

3. The other main reason that I’m going crazy is because my work from the classes that I took incompletes in last semester is due on Monday, and I have a ton left. I have a make up exam on Friday, so I’m nervous about that. The rest is due by email on Monday . . . lots of prayers are what I need.

4. This weekend we’re going to Charleston, SC to see a magic show. It’s by some 18 year old kid, and while it’s not similar in concept to what we’re doing (we’re taking “magic show” a step further and creating theatre from it), we are curious to see what someone else relatively close to us in age is doing. So, that should be interesting - especially since I’ve never been to Charleston! I’m excited :).

5. Also, my best friend Stephanie came to visit this past weekend. Technically she was here for a recruiting visit for Teach for America, but she stayed at my apartment, so we got to visit some. Not as much as we wanted to, because we were both incredibly busy, but it was the first time I’d seen her since August, so that was really awesome. I miss her tons.

6. A few friends and I started a NASCAR Fantasy League on the NASCAR website. We’re so ridiculous (especially since about half of us have no clue what we’re doing, and the other half are RIDICULOUSLY intense about the whole thing . . . they REALLY know what they’re doing). It makes us smile, and that’s what’s important ;).

7. I’m not having a hard time with getting ideas for posts and things at Reading Red Letters . . . I just have NO TIME to post there. I’m barely posting here, and when I am posting, it’s little quizzes and things. I want to spend my time writing those posts, and that’s something that I haven’t had time for. If you’ve been checking over there, please don’t get discouraged - as soon as this show is over on the 26th and my midterms are over on the 27th, I’m going to start some hardcore blogging over there. Watch out ;).

8. Does anyone have any fun new recipes to share? I have a few recipes that I use over and over again because they’re quick, and I realized that I’d like some variety if anyone would like to offer me some, haha! If you send me your recipes, I’ll post them on here with a link to your site!

9. I enjoyed answering your questions before, so send me more! What do you want to know about me? What do you want to hear me talk about?

10. I auditioned for a show yesterday and got called back! It’s a great Woody Allen play called Old Saybrook. Callbacks were today, and I think they went well, so fingers crossed! The cast list is supposed to be posted by Friday night!

11. We found out our lighting designer (an off-Broadway lighting designer, so a big deal!) will be coming in half a week earlier than we thought he would. YAY!!!

12. We’re going to be the morning segment in the news in a week and a half for the local Fox News affiliate. We’re going to be doing some smaller sleight of hand tricks as well as one of our grand illusions. So watch for us if you’re local!

13. Matt and Ben almost got ticketed for hanging up flyers tonight . . . hehehehe. A cop saw them putting them up and said they were hanging them against the ordinance, but he was just going to give them a warning. Check out our blog, Ben said he was gonna post about it.

Thirteen Things about LINDSEY!

1. First of all, thanks to everyone for continuing the Thursday Thirteen and following it over to its new home! Nicole and I are very excited to be hosting the T13, and we are so glad that so many people have decided to come with us!

2. The reason mine is so late in getting up today is because . . . I have been at the doctor today. Many of you know that I got mono this past November, which created lots of problems, including me having to take an incomplete in 3 of my classes (which I still haven’t finished all the work for). Well, yesterday morning I woke up with a sore throat that felt EXACTLY like mono. So today, I woke up and headed back over to the doctor’s office. They said that it’s probably just a really bad cold that is viral, so there’s nothing I can take for it. They can’t do another mono test because I have the antibodies in my system already, so it would be inconclusive. They did a swab strep test, and it was negative, so that’s good. I guess I’m just gonna have to rest up a bit and hope for the best . . .

3. Ticket sales for the magic show I am working on are going very well! This is the first show for MagicMouth Productions, and we are super excited that we have so many tickets sold for our Saturday performance! If you are in the North Carolina area, I recommend you get your tickets now before we sell out!

4. I have a challenge for all you 13ers out there! I’m totally stealing this from Running2Ks, so this is not an original idea, but it’s a good one, and if she doesn’t mind, I’m gonna borrow it, LOL!

Give me a topic to discuss or a question to answer.

Just post your topic in the comments, and I’ll start answering them as soon as I get some topics/questions!

5. My diet? It’s gone in the dumper. I’ve been so unfaithful it’s embarrassing. Tomorrow’s another weigh-in day, and while I didn’t gain last week, I also didn’t lose. Things have been so hectic and busy, there just doesn’t seem to be time to eat right, and certainly no time to exercise . . . sigh, I need some motivation!

6. Reading Red Letters has gotten some really nice response. I’ve got some topics that I want to discuss, but I’m finding it hard to put them into the right words, LOL, so it’s taking longer to get it up ang going than I had hoped it would! Perhaps tonight I’ll actually get a good post going!

7. I was kind of nervous about putting up my 101 in 1001 when I made it. I mean, if I failed and didn’t get everything done, EVERYONE would know it! But I think the opposite has happened. People have been encouraging, and when I tried to average out how often I should be completing a task in order to finish in time, I’m right one schedule! It’s been a very rewarding experience to create this list, especially since I’ve always wanted to be a goals-oriented person, but have never been able to see myself that way. I really recommend that others try this experience!

8. My brother came to North Carolina this past weekend! He was visiting Elon, the school that he’s probably going to go to next year, but he also swung by Winston-Salem to visit me! I was so happy to see him, it was the first time he’s been up here this year, so it was his first time seeing my apartment. He seemed to like it :)!

9. Along with Bo’s visit, he brought me my coffee maker that Mama and Daddy got me for Christmas. Can I tell you how in love I am with this thing? I’ve had a coffee maker before, but this one is automatic - I can program it to make me my coffee!!!! The problem has always been that without the caffeine I can’t get awake enough in the morning to make the coffee before I leave, but this way I just stick the coffee and water in the pot at night, push a button, and voila! At 8:30 AM every day I get fresh coffee. It’s almost too good to be true ;)!

10. One of the classes I’m enrolled in this semester is Contemporary Drama. It’s a great dramatic lit class, and it’s taught by one of my favorite professors. We’re reading plays that have been produced in the last 10 years, and while most of them are straight plays, I couldn’t help but smile because yesterday in class we studied Rent, which is sooo not something I ever expected to study in a college classroom!

11. Let’s finish off with a few of goofy quizzes!

As many of you have already figured out, the Thursday Thirteen has moved! It will now be hosted by myself and Nicole of The Girl Next Door!

I wanted to thank Leanne for all the hard work that she’s done on the Thursday Thirteen so far. Through her efforts this meme has grown into a community! I know that I’ve met lots of new people through the Thursday Thirteen, and I can’t wait to meet more!

You can find the code for the Thursday Thirteen by clicking on the link at the top right of my site. You’ll also see a form to submit your Thursday Thirteen to be on the blogroll!

I’m currently in the process of making sure that the code for the Thursday Thirteen passes validation, so if you want to hold off a little while on recopying the code, that would be good.

Thank you so much for all the comments that everyone has been sending our way - we’re really excited to be taking on the Thursday Thirteen, and we look forward to many more great weeks of community!!!
