Last night my mom and I celebrated Christmas Eve by drinking Southern Comfort cocktails and watching a 70's hippie propaganda film called Billy Jack. This after the Wright family Christmas Eve Buffet Dinner (I brought a cheese ball, my father brought his girlfriend and her daughter), and my father gave me cash, a present I'll be returning, an "Animal Friends" calendar, and a cutting board.

My name is Kellie Margaret Powell, I was born on Halloween in 1983. I'm 21, and a junior at Illinois State University, majoring in Theatre, and minoring in English. I spent my sophomore year of college with National Student Exchange program at State University of New York at Binghamton (also known as Binghamton University). This year, I work as a Copy Editor at ISU's newspaper, The Daily Vidette.
I'm over-committed, but I'm coping. When I get free time, I like to play Xbox (particularly Morrowind) and The Sims (it gives me a sense of control in a world of chaos). I also read a lot and enjoy renting dvds from The Movie Fan. I used to spend unhealthy amounts of time on the web. But now I'm too poor to afford an Internet connection.
Theatre is the reason I wake up in the morning, which is why on nearly every page you will find a link to my production company, These Aren't My Shoes Productions. Someday I hope to launch my company in Chicago. I will direct and write plays until I eventually have an aneurysm and die.
Of course, everyone has been telling me how I'm going to end up in the gutter, poor and starving, for so long that I've accepted this as fact.
The only people who believe I'll make something of myself are:
1.) My mother
2.) Justin Irvin
3.) Kathy Briggs
4.) Jason Vales
5.) Mandy Finfrock
6.) Justin Irvin's mother
7.) Emily Riehl
8.) Erin Guimon
So... when you see me homeless on the streets of Chicago, you can look away in panic and cross the street to avoid my desperate pleas for spare change. Or, you can point and laugh and say, "I told you so."
