So June is pretty much gone. Bye June!
Let's see. Since I last posted I have taken Maestro to a farm, been in a playreading in NYC, gone to California to babysit my siblings, rehearsed for another apartment play (which opens tonight), purchased a car (well, Pops helped with that), seen a couple of plays and worked my various jobs.
My friend Kyler drove my car across the country to get it to Boston. He documented his exploits here:

Very exciting. He just got back to Boston last night.
June 6th I participated in a playreading. My friend Kim wrote it and it's called "Man in Boat". I really, really loved being a part of it.
The people who ran this reading were the NICEST people. They were so welcoming and grateful that I came all the way from Boston to do the reading. I couldn't believe how kind they were to me. Not that I expect theatre people to be assholes or anything, but they were just so genunine! They really loved what they were doing and it showed. Sometimes I get really tired of the shallow, presentational way actors/theatre people interact with one another. I understand that acting is a business and people have to "schmooze" and "network" or whatever, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. I only bring that up so I can say how refreshing it was to work with people who brought an infectious joy to their work. It was just really...nice. I hope I get to work with them again in the future because it really made me happy.
Not only did I get to meet some great new people, but I also got to work with people I already adore. Emma, Kim, and Kyler. Overall, it was just this perfect little whirlwind trip and I'm so thankful I got to take part in such a great reading.
A few days after the reading I flew to California with Joe to babysit my siblings. It was really, really nice actually. My siblings are hilarious and it was so good to see them. I got to see Tobey play baseball, too! Which was really great. We mostly just took it easy all week. We saw Super 8, played mini golf, went bowling, took Tobey to his baseball practices, took Saylor to her cheerleading practices, went swimming, and barbaqued. Sadly, we didn't get a chance to it to LA, but we did get to see Carly! And Kyler joined us to pick up our car!
The car thing was a whole ordeal, too, but I'm too lazy to get into it. All that matters is that everything worked out! Dealing with getting car insurance has been a pain in the ass...car insurance salesman...so...pushy...
Tomorrow I'm doing the WARRIOR DASH! I've deeply slacked on my running since my California trip, but hopefully doing the Warrior Dash will help me get back into it! haha!
Well, that's pretty much it on my end! Just thought I'd babble for a little while. Hopefully I'll be better about posting in July. And hey! I still have a couple of days left in June to make up for my slacking, right?!
