Nudged!
Evidently I have been a highly neglectful person in need of nudging. Mea culpa. Life has been a bit of a whirlwind and I'm afraid I've become a Myspace person... not that I blog there either. :)
In brief:
Since my last entry I have experienced 5 deaths of important people, but not primary people (except Spot, my ancient cat, who is sorely missed) The other 4 were my uncle, my great-grandma, my college voice teacher and a teacher/mentor type person. That was all last spring and summer.
3 or 4 births. I've lost track. Lots of little bald, gooey, pink things.
I have moved to Lacona, IA... family hometown and have started work on my Master's of Education which I am currently avoiding.
Am working with my own high school music teacher on my practicum and will probably work with him on student teaching next year.
Have been very involved in THEATER.... YAY!! LOVE IT. Can't believe I neglected this part of me for so long.
Last spring I produced, directed and acted in a 9-woman cast of "Mother Wove the Morning" ... very satisfying.
Last fall stage directed Bye Bye Birdie at my high school. Lots of fun, learned a lot.
Just wrapped up directing a "Shakespeare 4 Kidz" production of Midsummer Night's Dream. Had no idea one could fall in love with 23 people at the same time... was prolly the best experience of my life.
Am currently working on memorizing more of "Mother Wove the Morning" since 3 of us will be doing it again for the
Iowa Fringe Festival . YAY!
Am in talks with a good friend to start a music lesson/health-food cafe business this summer... cuz evidently I need to cram every waking minute with activity or I might have to self-reflect or something.
Singing in a broadway review this weekend... silly stuff.
Am so so so happy to be back in Iowa.
Vaguely wondering what's happened to Surfers.
Wondering what y'all are up to, so will try to catch up on journals soon.
All for now.
cherio, pip pip, harumph and all that.
