| | I know. I'm a horrible Xangaloid. I never, never, update, ever, it's true. I don't. I suck.
Honestly, I am actually more into MySpace these days. I kind of hated it at first, but now I know my way around it and it's really pretty fun. The thing about it that threw me at first is that it's not really heavily geared towards the blog aspect at all. It's kind of about, well, everything else. But there's a lot to love.
Look, I don't want to sit here and rationalize my behavior. Two blogs is a bit much to maintain, and I seem to have made my choice. Not that I've been all that active there, either, but when I do write anything it's usually over there. I will make a final decision when things are calmer and I have more space to breathe.
Life has been quite hectic lately, as I am not only working full-time downtown, but also I am acting in a play -- not just any play, but "Proof" by David Auburn, a show in which I play a talkative geek with a lot of lines -- and of course there's still Starbucks on the weekends. I say I'm busy, but in a good way. I love this play, and I'm super excited to be playing the role of Hal, which is incidentally my first-ever romantic leading role.
As for my downtown job, I am now working in a non-profit organization that helps schools improve performance by helping teachers, principals, and parents. This one is not a temp gig, but a real permanent position. This is good for both money and health benefits, which I was sorely lacking up till now.
And Starbucks...well, as of March 10 I will no longer be working for the giant. While I do feel a teensy little hint of sorrow, for I do enjoy working with the people that I work with there, and I do enjoy not paying for coffee, it will be a magical feeling to have only one job and not just make enough money to get by but actually save money. That was the dream all along when we moved to Chicago -- one day job and theatre nights and weekends. Oh, the glory days are just ahead...
I recently received my first professional writing credit. It was part of a night of one-acts which were all written and staged in 24 hours, and performed that very night. Mine was well-received, which makes me very, very happy. Sitting in the audience before the show that I wrote was as nerve-racking as sitting in the audience before a show that I directed. It's thrilling and terrifying, and ultimately very rewarding.
And that's why I'm so scattered. That's all. There will be more later, and I'm sure it will make sense. In the meantime...it's Joe time.
