I know the last few posts have been a little depressing, a little stressed out, a little high anxiety, but I'm happy to say that this one is much happier =)
In the last, I guess, 2 weeks, things have just improved exponentially. My acting class with good ol' Georgie boy, (or Jorge Posada, as Brittany has taken to calling him) is over and done, and I'll probably walk away with a shitty grade because he felt he had to select me out of the group of 18 people to penalize for accumulated absences. But I don't care! The class is over, I HAVE to have passed, so I'm happy =)
The year is over, I passed all my juries (including my vocal jury, which was a FIASCO, to put it mildly) and finished all my tests, and even managed to feel good about some of it. Most importantly, I met (or rather, got to know) someone who's been making me feel especially amazing =)
It started off with a few conversations on facebook, very romantic, and then turned into dancing at Gala, and then became walks, which eventually led to semi-dates, which led to watching movies, and then not watching movies =D I've known him for a while now, but only really got to know him very recently, and it's just been the most amazing thing- no pressure, just being with each other and enjoying ourselves. It's been a long time since I felt this strongly about someone, and I'm glad it's him because he's very special. I guess we'll see where this goes =)
Besides that, I'm REALLY excited about my Mt. Washington Audition- it went well, they gave me some great feedback, and I'm hoping it might lead to me going and getting a role or two this year! Very exciting, I would love to go back and give Mt. Wash another shot, knowing better this year how to take care of myself, take advantage of my time there, and especially know my limits. I think last year I pushed myself a bit too far physically, and I wound up paying for it. This year I would love to go and just enjoy every second. However, I don't have the job yet, so I shouldn't say things like that... but I did.
Other than that, I'm just looking for work to fill the time either between now and June or now and September. Unfortunately for us both, my new romance lives in waaaaaaay South Jersey, and I do not... so I have to scrounge up a little cash to get down and visit.
So that's basically the long and short of life right now. Sorry this post isn't that interesting, I'm a little tired and not really feeling funny =P Next time, though, I'll start with a joke.

Let the Sunshine In
I have no excuse, it has been entirely too long since I've written here... and I'm sure anyone who might be reading this is probably thinking that I've been saying that far too often recently.
The truth is that I actively took a little time away from the blog, as well as any other extracurricular endeavors, to try to figure some things out. I am very happy to report that this was a good choice =)
I decided I needed some time to clear my head, and I did just that. I've spent a lot of time trying to work things out with my roommates, which is an ongoing process, but has taken leaps and bounds forward to finding a happy place again. I cannot stress how much I love my girls, and how much I have learned from them in the last three years. I don't want to get too sentimental about it, but I am so glad that we're communicating again and being a family.
As far as everything else is concerned, there's just so much. I've been taking a lot of walks, listening to a lot of new music, and trying to appreciate what's right in front of me. The more I try to figure myself out, the more I realize I wasn't ever that lost, I just thought I was. I'm growing so much these days, just trying to see everything in a new light and spread joy and positivity. I'm surrounding myself with people who are so amazing and kind, and I'm learning everyday and trying to practice more of what I preach.
I think this whole process has also made me more aware of the fact that I am connected in such an inexplicable way to everyone and everything around me. At the risk of sounding way too much like a flower-child, I just feel this intense connection to the world right now and I want to experience as much as I possibly can. I've experienced such a thrill for life, and I just want to share it.
That being said, there are still a few things that I'm working through/toward. I have a tendency to go through these periods of not dating, frankly because I don't date around a lot. I haven't felt sparks for a while, and I was beginning to worry a bit about that aspect of my life- at least, about why I was choosing to be single- but recently there have been sparks, and I'm just trying to go with the flow. For some reason, I always forget that feeling of being newly attracted to someone and the excitement of learning about each other.
On a completely different note, I feel like my emotions have been all over the place- I'll feel content, then sad, then overjoyed, then anxious... you get the picture. While some of this can probably be attributed to the notorious queeriod (The period gay men experience that lasts three weeks instead of the female's one), there have definitely been specific incidences-
1- Getting on the scale... no explanation required.
2- A week ago we put my dog to sleep. Griffin was almost 14 years old, and he was just amazing. I hope he led a good life, and I truly think he did, but sometimes I wonder if I could have made his life a little better. More walks, more attention, etc. I feel almost like a parent who's lost a child, and I've been experiencing these pangs of guilt just wondering if I could have been a better owner. I literally grew up with Griffin, and it is so strange knowing he's not going to be there when I go home. I also feel like for some reason I haven't fully experienced his death, and one of these days it's gonna hit me like a bag of bricks. As strange as it may sound, I'm almost looking forward to it because I want to get these feelings off my chest =/
3- I feel better about myself as a performer, although I'm sure I can continue to grow. I think that's the way it always is for anyone in the business (if they're smart)- we should always continue to learn from each other and from our experiences and to grow.
Today I had a great audition for the summer stock company I worked with last summer. They are producing "Singin' in the Rain", "The Music Man", "HAIR", and "The Full Monty". I auditioned this morning, and was asked on the spot to read for Woof in "HAIR" and Malcolm and Ethan in "The Full Monty". I'm not expecting anything, although I'm hopeful, but it felt so good to go in and give an audition that I felt confident about and to see it pay off with at LEAST a callback. Even if I don't get the parts, or even hired for that matter, I feel like I at least made a good impression. I'm happy about it =)
So that's all for now. It's been a very long day and a VERY long week, so I'm exhausted. I'll try to post more now that I'm feeling a bit more myself.

The Shape of Things
There is just no excuse for how long it's been since I posted here. Well, except this...
It's been a crazy couple weeks. Or month... has it been a month since I posted? Well, here's the deal. Things have just been crazy around the apartment/campus/overall state of NJ. My best friends are getting ready to graduate, and rather than spending our last couple months together being crazy in love, we've been a little distant and indirect, so that has been taxing. On top of which, it's been hard for me to deal not only with them leaving and feeling like I've been sort of left behind, but also with the fact that they are both doing so well and moving on to such great things, and I'm still stuck at school watching all of my plans fall to pieces.
For one, Hedwig has been rumored to be moving to Broadway. It hasn't played in NYC since it closed off-broadway in the early 2000s, and then when I decide I'd like to produce it, it moves to Broadway. For those who don't know the process, a show's rights (or copyrights) are typically not released to productions within a certain proximity of a major production... aka- if there is a production on Broadway in NYC, and I'm looking to produce it 20 miles away in Montclair, NJ, it ain't gonna happen. I haven't completely lost hope, but I'm really praying I can work it out... I still haven't even figured out where I want to produce it. Oy #1.
Oy #2- Lately, I have been feeling like I have absolutely, positively, 100%, no argument, NO TALENT. I shouldn't say that, because deep down I know I'm a very talented person, but recently I just feel completely unappreciated- like everything I do is just not quite good enough. No audition has gone well enough, no song has been performed up to par, no joke was funny enough... you get the picture. I'm feeling a little left behind in the performance department, and I can't help but feel discouraged when I know I'm putting so much energy toward getting better and doing well, and I'm just seeing absolutely no return. I need a major confidence booster PRONTO.
And to top it off, I have done absolutely no knitting. This blog was originally started to discuss my favorite hobby, and unfortunately I haven't even done it in months. OYYYYY.
Sorry, I know this post is a little bit "Debbie-Downer", but things just aren't great right now. I'm putting all my energy into staying positive, and I'm just praying that any day now things are going to change. I have faith that things will work out, but I have definitely felt a little beaten-down recently.
Here's to the best of times (and the best of times is now. What's left of summer, but a faded rose?), better tomorrows, and a little positive reassurance.

You Better Look Around, and Left, and Up and Down, and All Around...
It's been so LONG! Oy...
I know, I can't get into this habit of writing once every two weeks or so, but this is gonna be a short one cause I'm exhausted.
With school and auditions going on lately, I'm feeling a little run-down... especially because I haven't landed any auditions =( A little depressing, but I guess that's just part of the game. I WILL go to the Spamalot call tomorrow, though! This time the alarm will go off, and I will be on the train bright and early. Oy again.
So, with that said, I'm gonna run, but I promise I will write a more detailed post soon... if something interesting happens.

It's a Mad World...
So I know this post should be about Miami... but it's not.
Instead, I'm going to rant for a minute about something that has been driving me crazy- why didn't Adam Lambert win American Idol???
I know, middle-America probably couldn't handle him. But if you put aside the glitz and glam, and funny costumes for just one second, can we PLEASE discuss the insane vocals this man has??? I don't know if you've listened to his single "For Your Entertainment", but the man BELTS A HIGH D-SHARP. What??? I'm lucky, on a good day, when I can belt a B-flat above middle C, and mix a High C. Pavarotti hardly ever even sang in that range, and Adam Lambert belts a D-Sharp. Not to mention, he riffs up to an F-sharp. That is SICK.
Not to mention, he's incredibly sexy. I'm just saying.
And the thing that kills me after all of this, the thing that really grinds my gears is that he is a trained singer. America finally had on their hands a bonafide, no-shenanigans, honest-to-god talented singer who had invested the time and energy into learning how to sing properly... and they couldn't appreciate him. Meanwhile, the Fantasia train can't read, was a teenage mother, and sounds like a dying cat, but for some reason Americans ate her shit UP. Why? Because she's black? Because she comes from an impoverished hometown? Because she was disadvantaged? It doesn't matter. In the end, she still sounds like she's killing chickens in the basement every time she opens that gaping hole in her face, but people like Adam Lambert are frowned upon.
This country needs to get a life.

I Ove-Lay Mother Sheeeeeeeeep
Ladies and gentlemen, I am officially a jet-setta!
I got on my first airplane this past Thursday around 3 o'clock (Oh, right, the flight was at 2:30... gotta love American Airlines), and let me tell you, it was a very interesting experience. After spending some time at the airport bar calming my nerves and doing crossword puzzles with Corey and Andrea, we finally boarded, and some time later we were taking off. Well, I will say that take off was not my favorite moment. As I felt the plane ascending and leaving the ground I already missed so much, my head was pressed firmly against my seat and my hand was leaving an imprint in Rachel's arm.
After a few minutes in the air, I finally worked up the courage to look out the window, and it was gorgeous! After I was finally in the air and level-ed off, I immediately felt a strange sense of security that even the turbulence didn't seem to shake. The in-flight was "Up in the Air" which I watched about 10 minutes of and conked out, but was continually woken up by the turbulence of the storm we flew through... the same storm that would make Friday in Miami wet and disgusting. Landing was extremely smooth (thank you pilot) and my first flight was ultimately stress free (with the exception of some storm-turbulence) and pleasant.
Miami itself will garner another post. There are no words for how much fun I had. Every night was spent out in Miami, eating great food, getting drinks, dancing, or just walking around the area enjoying being somewhere else. I felt so connected to all of my friends; I never slept for fear of not experiencing the magic... which according to Clay James is gonna get ya! Oy...
Flying home started out a little high anxiety. For starters, American Airlines was COMPLETELY backed up by the storms in New Jersey... because they have apparently never dealt with severe weather conditions before. So people had been waiting to get to Newark for two days, and many of them were trying to get onto my plane... which was then deemed the last plane to go to NJ until Tuesday. Amidst confusion and freaking out flight attendants and flight coordinators, we received an announcement, at least, that we should not worry because we had "a super captain". This set my nerves at ease, because it's always nice to know that one of the members of Team America is behind the wheel of a 757 taking us safely to our destination.
Luckily, with the exception of wondering what the turbulence would be like near NJ, I was not nervous at all to fly the second time! I watched out the window as we took off, waving goodbye to the beautiful, warm Miami, and watched the lights of the city get smaller and smaller. The flight was extremely smooth, albeit the flight attendants were not, and I even got to sleep for a solid 45 minutes at least.
All in all, I am so happy to have had this experience and to have shared it with such wonderful people. I'll go into a little bit more detail about the experience in Miami in the next post, but my fingers are tired...

Thank You for Being a Friend...
Soooooooooooo here's the scoop-
1- I apologize for being gone so long. I don't know how many people ACTUALLY read this, but I like to think it's somewhere in the 10 or 12 million range, so I feel bad when I don't acknowledge the fact that I haven't posted in, say, two weeks. I apologize to all of my many fans for letting you down.
2- I'm going to Miami tomorrow! I'm performing in an industrial for Children's Resources, a charity group that benefit... children. I don't know how exactly, but it's a charity, and it's for kids, so it has to be good, right? If you see on the news that an American Pedophile Convention was busted in Miami, FL over the weekend, be forewarned I did NOT see it coming... ok, maybe a little.
Anyway, I'm spending the weekend near South Beach, and then I go right into Spring Break... unfortunately, just as that starts, I'll be returning to good ol' NJ. Whatever, I'll take three days in Miami.
The real issue I'm having, however, is flying. Say what you will- call me names, taunt me, call me a sissy, I've heard it before. The point is, I've never been on an airplane, and I'm petrified. I've been listening to "Ironic" by Alanis Morrisette all day, and I just keep rewinding to the part about the guy who wait and waits and waits and waits to get on an airplane and then when he finally does, it crash lands into a fiery, hellish inferno.
Ok, so her version is a bit more subdued, but can we DISCUSS her serious downplay of this situation? An airplane virgin explodes in a fiery gust, and she thinks it's ironic. No, Alanis, it is terribly unfortunate and horrifying... ironic is not the first word I think of. I think that man is now a traveling spirit on a desert island, and he is represented by a spirit resembling a smoke monster that judges the island's inhabitants... just a thought.
Anyway, I'm hopping on American Airlines tomorrow afternoon, and I will be in Florida by dinner time. While I'm very excited, I'm nervous to fly, as well as a little anxious about how I'm packing my bags. I know I have travel sized lotions and potions, so that's gonna be a hassle, as well as all my diabetes supplies. I just have this terrible vision of getting stopped at check-in, having my bag searched, watching them look through my bag of needles and vials, and the next thing I know I'm in a room with a man with big hands, a rubber glove, and a bottle of lube, and he is NOT doing an oil change. I'm just saying.
So those are my fears as of now- I'll be sure to tell you how things go when I get back. And I promise not to go so long without writing this time!

I know I have travel sized lotions and potions, so that's gonna be a hassle, as well as all my diabetes supplies. I just have this terrible vision of getting stopped at check-in, having my bag searched, watching them look through my bag of needles and vials, and the next thing I know I'm in a room with a man with big hands, a rubber glove, and a bottle of lube, and he is NOT doing an oil change. I'm just saying.
So those are my fears as of now- I'll be sure to tell you how things go when I get back. And I promise not to go so long without writing this time!

Peace
