The people who do are great! I love reading about their lives. I like checking in on them, seeing what's happened since I last read. The thing is I still care about all of them even if we don't talk anymore (or if we just don't talk often).
I don't know why I stopped posting. I think I got lazy. Or distracted. Or busy. Or maybe I didn't want people on the internet to know what I was thinking anymore (maybe I didn't think it was important). Ha! Maybe I had prescribed to the mentality of "I should be out living my life, not writing about it!!". Whatever it was, I stopped.
Today I was going through that ol' comforting routine of checking up on old friends when I got to a post written by Maddy, this is what it said:
"I truly wish that people were still interested in text-based blogging vs. the random-cool-picture-and-video-with-few-w
fuckkkkk."
YES. I thought. That's why I continue to check live journal. I want to know people's day-to-day. I want to know what kind of lives they lead. It makes me feel connected to my past somehow and it makes me really appreciate all of the people who have ever been a part of my life.
So this blog is for Maddy.
I'm going to post about my day-to-day life. It might not be that exciting and I might not have anything too insightful to say, but heck, it will make me stop to appreciate the life I'm leading. I want to have something for myself to look back on. I hardly remember what happened a few days ago and I don't like that, goddamnit!
That being said, here are the basics of my life right now:
I live in Boston.
I'm an actor.
I have many part time jobs:
1) dog walking
2) drama teacher at the Jewish Community Center (I'm really bad at teaching).
3) actor at the Boston Children's Museum
I live with four people, a dog, and a cat.
The people are my boyfriend (Joe), Lauren, Terry, and Pete (Pete is a girl).
The dog is Joe's and mine. His name is Maestro and he's a corgi (http://mrmaestro.tumblr.com).
The cat is Lauren's. His name is Tasuki and he's orange and crotchety.
I'm in a staged version of Season 2 of Blackadder right now. I'm playing Kate/Bob and Mollie the inexpensive prostitute.
I've been in the following shows since graduating college: Wedding at the Eiffel Tower, Act a Lady, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Doctor in Spite of Himself/Amphitryon, Cherry Smoke, and Durang/Durang.
I helped start a theatre company called Rough Week. We've put up two shows.
I created a web series called With These Hands (http://www.roughweek.org/wth).
Maestro starts dog training classes next week.
I play video games.
That's it. Those are the bare bones!
Recently I went to an album release party. They performed the entire album. It was a concept album about a girl visiting a magical world and being reborn and having an affair with mother nature. My favorite part was when people dressed as skeletons came dancing down the aisles while playing the drums.
Today I woke up and walked the dog. Joe got us coffee from the Sugar Bowl. I went to walk Gus (the french bulldog), Pula (the border collie/cattledog mix), and Rascal and Kiwi (two pugs). Then I went to rehearsal for "The Charlie Tales". A kids show I'm touring around the Boston area. It takes common fairy tales and puts a Boston spin on them. ie. Instead of the Three Billy Goats Gruff we do the Three Red Sox Fans Gruff.
It's pretty fantastic. I've also gotten to meet a lot of wonderful people doing it.
Then I went to the gym (for the first time in weeks!), and now I'm home. Hanging out with the pup and writing this blog post.
Let's see if I can keep it up!
