it's weird being a grown-up. it's not necessarily bad, just a tad weird. i know like 3-4 people now who have babies, and a bunch of others who are married. i actually have to worry about things like how i am going to pay the bills and where my health insurance is going to come from. im in an ok situation right now just cuz i have been lucky with jobs, but what will i do when im done with all that. oh who knows.
i need a good break from theater i think. im beginning to get burnt out. this whole doing 400 shows this summer and going straight from that into touring nationally with a show has killed my passion for it all...temporarily i think. i find myself looking at people who have regular jobs and thinking, "wow that must be nice." hahaha...i even caught myself thinking that about teachers today at a school. im happy to see what a good month off will do for me...i originally was going to try and do some auditions, but i think im going to go on a full on performing strike...i need to rejuvenate myself.
it doesnt help that i have been perpetually sick on tour. i was never THIS sick at hershey...i had allergies, but sitting in a car everyday for like 5 hours KILLS me. think about how u all feel when u get off a plane...dry, headache, weary. that's how i feel all the time...and my voice has been shot to hell. like...it's been awful. but now i know that this venue of theater is not for me...i have 3 days left. i will in boston on saturday :)
i have the WORST headache. i was supposed to go pick up my car when i got home from my shows today, but i took a 4 hour nap instead. woops. it hasnt subsided tho, which sucks. i ordered chinese food...and once it comes im going to put on six feet under and cuddle in bed.
tomorrow is going to be heinous:
5:30am call time
2 shows in warrenton, va
5 hour drive to staten island, ny
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
where is my chinese food?!
