So I'm not sure I told anyone about this...But Thursday I'm competing in a speech competition....No pressure.....Right??...Dude...If I stress about this anymore than I already am I'll die of a heart attack!! Seriously!! I am so doomed!! Ok, so I know I can do all things through Christ...But I'm starting to think I'm gonna die....or at least that entering was a bad idea...So there's like 2 rounds. There are 6 rooms and in each room there are 7 people each competing for a spot in the final 6...So there can only be one winner from each room...And then they compete in front of a live audience...For one of 6 places...The only ones worth mentioning are the first 3...First place wins a plaque..500 dollars and a lithograph worth $500....plus about $200 in "gifts" whatever THAT means....2nd place is $300 and third place is $100...All places win a plaque...I have an exam earlier that day...and the competition is from 6pm to 9pm....and all I can say is..."help me...!!!....Heeeeeeeeeeeelllllpppp meeeeeeeee!!!..........." or "we're all gonna DIE!!!"...Yes, I am nervous!! Which I have to say is an interesting place to be in....I HATE this!! I have 6 minutes to try to give a persuasive speech and I'm so...ARGH!! this is SO over-rated!! On the one hand I'm like....Sweet!! I could SO go for the $500.....but then again...I have SO much to do to be ready that I'm like!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!....There HAS to be a middle ground!! It can't be like this for the next two days!!! I'll die!! Seriously!! The stress alone'll kill me! I guess I'll just have to try to think about this as a test.....of some kind.....and that I'll just have to put on some kind of persona....well...not in those words exactly but you get the idea....I never really saw myself as someone who'd get nervous about public speaking.....well..It's not really the speaking but the COMPETING that's got me running and hiding under my desk in abject terror......Who'd have thought all my shy notions would suddenly come back with a vengeance!!! Ugh!!

Jason, So You Wanted To See My Latest Facebook Profile Picture........

So the following is a picture from my Make-up for Stage and Screen class from last semester. . . . . It is not two pictures photo shopped together, but rather one picture....Everything was done in halves. The wig is only a half, the hat was only a half and I only did half of my face to look female and half to look male.....etc...So here are the results...I welcome your predictions and comments!! I just WISH I could see the looks on your sisters, and mothers, faces when they see this picture Jason...So you're going to have to either take a picture of their reactions or videotape it!!! And I'm DEAD serious here!!!
