Time for Change

So it seems Fall has decided to check in early this year, how lovely. I am not one to complain, I think Fall is beautiful and cozy. Sweaters, boots, cardigans and all the other fun fall fashion trends make this season all the more enjoyable. And not to mention the best part of the season...Halloween!! My absolute favorite holiday is Halloween. For that one night of the year, you get to be someone else. I think I like this holiday so much because I feel like everyday I am a different person. Not a different person, but a different character. I hate being strereotyped into one specific type of person. I like to be different everyday, mix it up everyday.

Some days I like to be dressy and professional, somedays I dress punky, some days girly....it all depends on my mood that day. Maybe I just have severe identity problems, but either way I would rather have the best of all worlds than be stuck in one. Life is too short to be the same boring person everyday....sometimes you require a change, whether it's a new hair colour, new pair of shoes or just a new outlook on life in general. Change is healthy and part of life. Without change, you do not grow and you resist life. Call me rude, but I despise boring people who fear risk and challenge. I call them cowards, because they are just too comfortable in their current conditions and too lazy to try new things. Life is for the living, not the living dead!

Today I went to sign up for a Toronto Public Library card and could not be more pleased. The library is right beside my condo and has 5 floors of books. Amazing!! As much as I love Chapters, it takes a toll on the wallet, and sometimes I get so overwhelmed because there are just so many good books out there, I want to buy them all. But now, all I have to do is swipe that card and I can have up to 50 books at once!! Today I only took out 4. They include:

1) Fargo Rock City by Chuck Klosterman
I like this author, who also wrote Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs. He is witty, relatable and has that magazine style approach to his writing. In this book he talks about the impact of 80's glam rock music has made on society. I am already on chapter 2 and I am already intrigued!

2) Neon: A Memoir of A Runway Angel by Cherie Currie and Joan Jett
This is the autobiography of Runway band member, Cherie Curie. After watching the movie starring Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Curie, I am very interested in reading up on the lives of these talented ladies.

3)How Not to Audition by Kammer and Flinn
As you all know I have recently finished some acting classes and am now in the process of getting ready for auditions. This book will hopefully give me straight answers on what to expect and not to expect when I go out into the field.

4)Ask An Agent by Margaret Emory
Basically another guide to help me master this business of the acting world.

So cheers to change, good books and hot cocoa on a crisp Thursday evening :)
