Drunk behind the wheel
Life is a lot like driving a car. You know those times when you completely space out when you're driving (especially on those straight-roads you drive everyday, aka M45, for example) and your mind reels at the speed of light with a huge spectrum of deep and yet seemingly ADHD thoughts, and after about a mile you realize you were paying absolutely NO attention the road?? None of it, no potential animals, certainly not any other drivers, or even a traffic light??...And yet, you're still alive and well, the car's in one piece and you haven't been pulled over for gradually going 15-20 over? I think i realized today that i do that sooo much with life in general. I tend to get myself soooo busy with fun/fulfilling but time-consuming activities that i sometimes just become sooo ironically unaware of anything else around me, cuz i'm so absorbed and focused on present/future tasks or experiences at hand... and the result is that i give the shaft to other obligations or people. I'm a dumb girl. For instance, i will surely miss Hamlet when it's over, and i'm glad to have this theatrical opportunity and work with lotsa great people again, but i'm gonna be glad to have my life back soon.... ALL i do is work and rehearsal, which is ok, but i miss seeing some of my non-theatre peeps lately too. It's so damn tough to balance groups of friends that arent inter-related but that i equally love to spend time with, and even worse to try to please everyone. I'm just wearin' myself downright rugged. :-P But once Hamlet's over, my work hours are gonna skyrocket, which is great for money and london/grad-school-planning, but i just don't want to lose sight of the more important things in life, like my friends, by becoming a workaholic. Hold me back, don't lemme do it!!! ;) Force me to go out absurdly late sometimes, even if i hafta open in mornings... please?? Sweet.
I got the Postal Service "Give Up" CD when i left work today. I stinkin heart that cd. Especially 'The District Sleeps Alone Tonight".... ahh, it just reminds me of summer evenings wakeboarding behind X-Star (*sigh*). I passed an X-Star being towed on the way to work today. It was a beautiful sight. And I liked work today at FYE. Not just cuz i got a discounted cd, but i got to train on the register which was fun and made time go lots faster. And i love the people i get to work with... i get to avoid the drama Charlotte Russe provides among some dumb broads by actually working with dudes, and we can talk about good music, rather than listening to people bitch about how a new girl thinks she's better than other employees. Most excellent.
I got a text from one of my favorite British buds, Nicky-P, at 430am. I was pissed at first cuz i left my phone on and it woke me up, and i thought it was Jonny-G sending me a random thought (which i usually love, dont get me wrong, but with really badddd timing, cuz i was finally sleeping after a looong weekend), but to my delighted surprise it was the British boy i will marry someday, if i really need to marry an accent. ;) It made my day from that moment on! I stinkin' heart those Brits!!!
I get to be a man in Hamlet now. Awesome. But, more realistically, i think i'm gonna look like a pre-pubescent boy. Sweeeet.
Aright, enough crap... later, duders.
