This was the news Thursday night....http://www.mycentraljersey.com/article/20090312/NEWS/90312034&referrer=FRONTPAGECAROUSEL
Michelle wanted to post it, but she was busy so I did it.

In other news...I am single and happy once again. Yes it sucks, but obviously he wasn't worth my time. And now we are off to France and new starts. Wish us luck!

I realized today that I have not posted since the summer of 2007. So much of my life has changed since then... I'm moving forward with school and looking for more work. There are so many possibilities right now for where my life can go. I'm looking forward to exploring them with some new people in my life and taking the old ones along for the ride. We've all had a rough year and I think we're due for some good. We all need a change for the better and things seem to be heading that way. This new year's really will be a new beginning for a lot of us. I plan to take every opportunity that comes my way and make the most of it. I just want to see where everything takes me. I used to be so good at that, but you leave the safety of school and you get hurt by others and you lose that ability to just let go. I want that back, and I fully intend to get what I want.

so this past week was the week from hell. i think we had everything that could possibly go wrong with this show (on the technical side) go wrong. A portion of the set went down on monday and then on wednesday the entire thing went down during the opening number. people kept getting hurt and then on saturday we realize that we are missing three people's costumes. it's been completely ridiculous. outside of that show everything hasn't been that bad. love life is still fucked up/non-existent, and everyone up here has paired off. It definitely makes it rather lonely, especially now that the mainstage is in production. but i continue to push through and i'm really looking forward to coming home for the wedding this week. I miss everyone so very much, even though I am having a decent experience. Love you all, and see you soon!

P.S. send me mail, you have my addresses up here

so i've been up here a while now, and things are going well. everything within the children's theatre is coming together. life outside of CT (in terms of mainstage) is a little stressful for everyone else, which sometimes means that it gets taken out on us, but we can move past that and enjoy the exhausting work that we have undertaken. Think about it this way; my day begins at either 5 or 6am on the earlier days and ends no earlier than 10pm on every single day of the week. Also my only day off is Sunday. We do at least 2 shows a day and sometimes in different venues and these venues can be a half hour to 45 minutes apart. So as much as this is a lot like working at GSP, it's the having rehearsal until 10pm every night that is getting to me. Everyone is exhausted by the time we get back from two shows, but then you have dinner and rehearsal for the rest of the night. There isn't much down time during the working days, and even on Sunday I'm still doing paper work for the rest of the week, because it's really the only time I have to get stuff outside of rehearsal done. But I still love it and it's still worth the work, because the people are amazing and the children are wonderful. Hopefully things will continue to go well and the summer will end well.

Ok, I haven't even been here a full 24 hours yet, but so far so good. I have seen two of our venues and minus the elevator thing they seem pretty good. Tomorrow I get to see three more. It's a lot of driving all over the state, but everyone seems very nice and one of the contacts is even from Jersey (spottswood). My room mates seem nice, but I don't know them that well yet, so we'll see where that goes. Hopefully everything will continue to go well. I have to create a schedule now, so I'll post when I can later. Love you all and miss you sooooo much already!!

ok, so i'm going to NH for the summer to work for another children's tour. Yes, I know I'm nuts for doing another tour, but at least this one is musicals. I'm excited and terrified all at the same time. I can't wait to meet new people and have some new experiences, because I definitely need them. But I'm going to miss everyone down here. I don't know what I'm going to do without Michelle and our "chill out" breaks. Nor do I know what I'm going to do without random hanging out with everyone else. Hopefully I won't get too homesick while I'm up there, and maybe I'll even be able to get past some issues I've been having lately while I'm there. Well, here is to hoping things go well.

I plan on posting at least once a week (as long as I can get to some internet). I have little to no phone service up there so e-mail is the best way to get a hold of me and LJ is the only way to read about what I'm doing since I am avoiding Myspace and facebook like the plague. i wish you all good summers, and I hope to see you soon.

In two days, ok technically in one day, a new year will begin, so I decided to change my layout and update my journal. I know it looks dark , but lately that's how I've been feeling and it suites me for now. Also I like the tree at the top. So life is not what I expected it to be by now, but I guess that never really happens. I have decided that I am going to make a couple of changes in my life, and now is a pretty good time to do so. I am not going to list them, because I find that I tend to actually keep to changes if I don't tell anyone I'm making them. So for now, they stay secret. I will of course tell everyone about them when they actually happen.
I am hoping to go into this coming year with a better attitude about certain things and hopefully that will impact the rest of my life. We will see what the year brings (hopefully mostly good things).
Happy New Year to everyone and I hope you keep to your New Year's resolutions.

things have been interesting the last couple of months. a lot has changed, but there is still a lot that has not changed. i've got a lot on my mind, but really don't feel comfortable saying anything here. so i'll just say that i need to get my ass in gear on stuff and let the other stuff happen on it's own. it will all work out in the end....hopefully.

it is 2:30am and i am supposed to be in bed for the obvious reasons: day star = gone, the early morningness, the need to be up at a decent time during the waking hours, and just the plain and simple fact that there is no one else awake at this hour. i probably can't sleep because i have a lot on my mind, hopefully some of it will get resolved soon.

there is one exciting thing. adam and i are going to boston this weekend for a small vacation. i'm probably more excited then i should be, but whatever. it gives me something to look forward to. ok, i'm done updating now.

so lately i've been feeling a little off and I haven't been sure why. Have you ever had this feeling like you were just constantly looking for something and you just can not find it, or you really need a change but there isn't anything drastic enough to satisfy you? It's starting to get annoying, but I figure that eventually I will figure it out or it will pass (that's normally what happens anyway). Well now that I have put that out into the world, maybe it will help it pass. Ok, I don't feel like writing anymore...

ok, so adam is still sleeping and if I sleep any longer I'm going to end up with a bigger headache then i started out with. so i'm going to write for a little while. as for what i will write about, probably nothingness, yes nothing-ness. Yesterday was our one year anniversary, i can't believe it's been a year already. i still feel like we're just starting out in some ways, but i guess that's a good thing. He got me the best anniversary present ever. A couple of weeks ago we were just tooling around NB and we ended up at the cyclery asking about bikes for me, because at the time i had a little extra cash to play with. so the topic got lost after about a week and nothing more was said on my end or his. Thursday he tells me we have to meet in NB on Friday to pick up my present because that's when it's coming in. I have no clue what it could possibly be. He tells me he picked up on the hints i dropped, but i can't remember dropping hints. So friday comes and we meet up at michou's house and he tells me that we have to head to Easton Ave, and I all of a sudden put two and two together and realize that he bought me my bike! This is not just some off the chelf bike, this is a high quality Jamis bike that Bob (shop owner) puts together himself and then customizes it to me. This is also not a cheap bike. I don't know exactly how much but I have a good idea, lets just say somewhere above $350. So we end up having to pick it up on Saturday afternoon. It's so pretty too, light blue and white with black letters. We take it back down to Adam's and we go for a ride. It's been a very long time since I've been on a bike, but the more we go out the better I'll remember how to do everything. Ok, So i ended up writing about something and now I'm done.

Yes, you read that right. Thank God for cats. Right now my cat is sitting on my lap watching my fingers flow over the keyboard. She climbed up on the desk and into my lap, and decided that the best place for her to lay down was on top of my keyboard. Since it is very hard to type with her on top of my lap top I moved her over and now her head is laying between my arms just below the keys. But my main point is that cats are amazing stress relievers. I just got done having a very intense conversation and I was feeling really shitty until she climbed into my lap. Somehow they just know when it's the right time to climb all over you. And even though she is getting fur all over my laptop, I could care less because her sitting here with me is the best way to calm down and relax. So, Thank God for cats!

People fucking suck!

not much going on besides work and homelife. Right now I'm very happy with things in my life. I like my job and the people I work with. My friends are awesome. My boyfriend is a wonderful man. And even my family is good. But every once in a while I don't feel so hot and my emotions run high (thank god for good friends, and books). I don't know I don't feel like rambling, but then I sort of do. Whateve, it's my page to do as i wish. At least that's what it says at the top of it. Ok. i'm done being spastic. I think I'll borrow some icons from Virginhuntress, or something.

ok, it's been a really long time since i've updated this thing. so, since i'm sitting in bed with my post-surgical bf (he had his tonsils out) I figured I might as well. I've been working at GSP for about a month now and we've started touring. It's very tiring, but a lot of fun and an amazing experience. The Blue Company has some very wonderful people and they definitely make waking up at 4am worth the effort. It's cool to start work so early and be done around noon. It leaves the rest of the day to see people and get other stuff done. Mostly, I end up going straight to physical therapy and then home to eat and go to bed. I can't wait till therapy is over, it'll give me so much more free time to get things done.
I went to see LTC's "Little Shop" on thursday, and I must say I was impressed with some of the voices. The voice of the plant was very good (nice and deep while he was singing). Chris and Mickey did an amazing job as always, and the rest of the cast was pretty good. I liked their plants, expecially the final one. Overall, pretty good for an opening night and a show that carries a lot of expectations. I hope they have a good run and enjoy their cast party!
ok, i should go take more care of my boy, i'll write more soon, hopefully.

wow, i just realized how long it has been since i have written in here. I guess the best news is my new job. I'm working for George Street Playhouse as a Stage Manager for one of their educational touring companies. it's very fast paced and a lot to take in all at once. ok, i'll write more later, my mom is watching t.v. very loudly and it's difficult to concentrate.

ok, tonight was a my court date as a witness against the guy that hit me and he didn't even have the decency (sp?) to show up. i was there from 6:45 to 9:10. what a waste of time, but at least the next time i have to go in he has to show up or else they will haul his ass in.

ok, i'm done ranting/explaining and now on to more happy things. i got to go swimming with my camp kids today which was lots-o-fun. and i guess my life is a little boring now considering it has been reduced to work and home and not much else, but hopefully things will start to pick up with the up-coming holiday weekend. oh well, we'll see.

i have nothing else to write so i'm gonna go now...

ok, i know it's been awhile since i last posted and a lot of things have happen, so i'll give you a quick update. Graduated from school, had a party...had a good time at my party and the other parties i attended, relaxed finally, worked on the 15th anniversary of Acrodanse, had surgery on my ankle to drain the fluid on my tendons, spent a week laid up because of surgery, and now i'm starting work at Play SAFE on crutches (going to be oh so much fun). Well that's a breif rundown of what I've been up to, there is more but i don't feel like sitting here for that long. Well if anyone wants to hang out call the cell because i'm barely online anymore. This should prove to be a very interesting summer.

The end of a very large chapter of my life is coming to a close. I'm graduating in a couple of weeks and then I have to figure out what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. There are so many things that have happened this semester and so many "last times" that have occurred already. I just finished my last LTC show and I'm so glad it was Camelot. The cast and crew were all awesome people. The final night of the show it finally hit me that this was the last time I would experience this part of my life with all of these people. There have been so many ups and so many downs over the past four years, and I'm going to miss everyone in my LTC family (yes, i only live 20 mins. away, but it's going to be very different). The same goes for QC. It was my first organization and for the most part it gave me a place to let everything go away and just focus for a couple hours a week. Everyone is all excited about senior week, but for me it's just another year (this will be my fourth senior because of choir). I don't know, the next few weeks are going to fly by. I have soooooooo much work to do and so many lose ends to take care of, I'm afraid I'm going to miss the moments in between. I guess I'll just have to try extra hard to pay attention and get every last drop of moments possible.

The end may be near, but there are so many new beginnings to be had.

so now we all know how weird I really am!
