tomorrow, i will arrive in Washington. Wow. It has definitely been a trip to this point. between flat tires, road kill, nights with the stars, and old men giving me fashion advice... it has been a crazy trek across America. ask me if you want the unabridged version. i am nervous and excited and absolutely and completely ready.
well, during my 7.5 hour drive tomorrow i will have time to think about it.

i have had just enough wine to make me too introspective. I am so scared. What if I fucked up? Once I move out of the midwest, will I ever come back? There are so many people I love here and the idea of losing them makes me so unbearably sad. i have no idea where i am going and i have no idea where i will end up. i do have a twinkle of hope that no matter what i will decide to do, i should be fine. but every choose your own adventure book had a utopian ending that i could never achieve, i don't know about you. but that is perhaps because i just tried too hard, i tried too hard not to fuck up. maybe fucking up has distinct benefits. i don't know. oh well, i guess i get to find out here pretty soon.

I am packing... again. I have officially lived out of a suitcase for two months now. But this time tomorrow I will be on my way to Washington. Weird.

So as you all may or may not know, I am moving to Washington to do americorps. Last night I met three other people that I will be spending the next year of my life with. It was really wierd, almost like starting freshman year again. But everyone was really nice, but they all seemed a little cautious as not to offend anyone or to say too much all at once. It was like being on a blind date with three people. We all sat down, and just kind of looked at each other, like "what now?" but after the akwardness subsided, we were able to talk like real people. It was also comforting to be in the presence of a group of people that are in the same stage of life as myself. We all want an adventure as opposed to getting office jobs like everyone else (not that there is anything wrong with an office job, it just isn't who we are). We are all going to try to do something new and a little scary.... But I have to go now!

Hello everyone! Guess what today is! It is my birthday! Yes indeed the one day of the year where it is a holiday just for me! But the celebration will not be complete without all of you. So this evening, I am inviting everyone out to Jitters on the corner of Hennepin and 2nd in northeast minneapolis in the basement of the Times. There will be jazz, drinks and wonderful fun! I hope to see you all there. The time is around 10 or 10:30 to close. Come for me, but stay for the good times that will be had by all!

There is a beautiful artistic-looking man in my courtyard wearing sunglasses, holding a bottle of whiskey and sitting on a small, pink child's bicycle.

I was at a bar last night and this guy stopped talking to me because I said that I don't have particularly strong feelings toward any specific kind of music. I hate that I am constantly surrounded by esoteric music snobs. I explained to this guy that I have specific thoughts and very strong feelings about theatre. So why are these two things not the same? Why is it ok for people to to expect strong feelings about music but not theatre? Or paintings. or any other form of art? I don't know... I hate this nomadic i-pod wandering "independent" generation. Ok, my rant is finished.

Hey! I had my purse stolen today. It had both my phone and my keys in it. I figured out a way to get back to my apartment and get back in. But I have not yet figured out a way to get back to my car now that I have a spare. If anyone could help me out I would love them forever!

Here is a little update on my life. I am:
minus one boyfriend.
plus one piercing.
now a non-smoker.
graduating from college in a month.
Hmmm... oh how life changes. And the only thing I like about the whole situtation is the new piercing. But I like it a lot!

I am really proud of myself... so I decided to write a Haiku about it:
I am back in town
I drank lots of beer and shots
I am still smoke free

So, for those who know me and my living habits well, they know that I am not the world's most clean person. I know. But since I have moved into my studio, I have tried to be really good. Alas, the busyness of finals and the Christmas season resulted in a lapse in my cleanliness. After this lapse in cleanliness, an onslaught of fruit flies entered my apartment and settled in. With the available time I had, I tried to be good about keeping them away, but I did not have the time to do what I needed. After this time, I then went to South Dakota for a week during Christmas and shortly thereafter, I took another vacation to San Fran. When I came back, the fruit flies had multiplied to outrageous proportions! I spent the better part of the day cleaning every conceivable surface in my kitchen and ran around my place with the vacuum, vacuuming the little flies up! Grrr! I am so aggravated! And they are still around, but hopefully they will soon kick it forever.
One question I have is: Why do the fruit flies like to hang out on my picture of the world at night?
Also, any helpful hints on how to terminate these things would be helpful.
Thanks

So, yesterday I took a look at the UC Berkeley campus. I am starting to look at grad schools, and this one actually has a performance studies program, so I thought that was interesting. But anyway... the campus is beautiful! When I look at campuses, I forget that I go to the second largest University in the nation. Berkeley is just so small! I am going to try to get a meeting with a theatre person on Wed. morning before I go to talk about the program. But since being here, I have realized that I love it. I think I just might move here after about a year. Anyway... I have got to go now.. my friend just got here.

Well, if any of you care, I am in Sunny California. It was very nice to leave MSP at 6am where it was snowing and then be able to get off the plane in California and have everyone wear t-shirts! I haven't seen the sun or blue skies for so long. I am filling myself with sun, so I can sustain the rest of the cold Minnesota winter. Even though I am in the Bay Area, there are still palm trees and I like that. I have been staying at my friend Cath's place, which is small, but nice. I didn't realize that I have such a strong accent... they make fun of me. Grr.. I can make my vowels as long as I like, thank you! But I am having a fun time. I am excited for the rest of the trip! And, I will try to take pictures... but I always forget.

now i am sorry misstage, i hate to bitch.... I don't want to make you feel badly
now, here is my rant:
why does the theatre need to keep dicking me around? I just want to know if I got a part. I got another call back for a show when they should have just posted the cast list. but i had to sit for 2 days in nervous tension, and i still don't know. and now i have to go to another call back on wednesday and wait even more! and they still haven't posted the caberet cast list. how do they expect me to be so beautiful if i can't sleep! (just kidding) now, i don't want to jinx myself...because i would really like to have a part... but grr....!

This is the e-mail I got this morning:
You have been called back, please come to the Arena Theater at 12pm
tomorrow afternoon. We look forward to seeing you.
You will need to prepare the story you told for auditions presenting it
completely without words.
