So, there is something wrong with me. Once more, I have not made it past the five-month mark in a relationship. Am I just jinxing myself? I wonder.
Anyway, laryngitis is a bitch. I had it for the first time ever and managed to lose my voice for over a week, and then wasn't allowed to sing for three weeks. I'm being allowed a short voice lesson today, but I'm still raspy so we'll see how long I'll be allowed to phonate before being banned once more.
I'm exhausted. Emotionally, physically, spiritually. Usually I get sort of a post-Easter high, but since graduation is imminent, I'm feeling the drain acutely. Luckily, there are some lovely May-term plans happening - my friend Jarod is having a Buffy-viewing party (unfortunately focused on Spike rather than a more interesting character, but whatevs), then the next night my friend Liz is having a Not-Yet-Old birthday party. Good times, there.
I'll be in Virginia for the summer. I've gotten into a show at the Grove (very exciting - I get to play a villain for the first time ever. My job is to be gorgeous and a bitch for the entire show - I think I can handle that) and I'm looking for a job that will pay the bills. In the meantime, I'll be teaching voice lessons and taking in the occasional babysitting job. Momma and Daddy want me to move back home, and since Sierra got into Clarion University's MLS program, she wants me to come to Clarion with her in the fall to be her roommate, which is certainly something to consider. I ended up talking to her last night and she said that my communication issues (something that has been complained about by significant others frequently) stem back to being put in "time-out" when I was a kid, rather than being encouraged to argue with my parents. I can see that. When I get angry or upset, I have this tendency to need alone-time in which to think and calm down, and significant others don't tend to like that very much.
Anyway. I'm done sacrificing myself for a significant other. I am drained and tired and now I'm really just in the mood to be not-serious and not-grown up about life.
About Me
- Camelot
- I small, cute, and crazy. That's pretty much all there is to know. A current jack-of-all-trades, that's mainly what I do because I can't figure out what I want to settle on. (This is why there are so many actors in the world.) I'm addicted to coffee, bad television, and paying off my student loans before the interest starts to accrue.

Which play/musical are you in over the summer? Anything I'm likely to have heard of or was it written within the last century?
I'm in a play called "Go Back For Murder", which you may have heard of possibly. It was adapted by Agatha Christie from a book by her called "Five Little Pigs", which was a Hercule Poirot novel.
It's fantastic. I get to be a villain. I've NEVER gotten to be a villain! No musical this summer as far as I know, but it's early days yet.
Never heard of it, but kudos on being in a Christie play.
