whoa
back to lj. i've been thinking/talking about it a lot lately, namely the way using livejournal and the communities i belonged to have shaped my worldview.
i also think it helped to have a place to vent, even to an imagined community of readers or to a secret place where thoughts could be kept safe.
i haven't updated since before i graduated from college. i'll try to make a list of important happenings from then til now:
"broke up" with most of my college friends
started working out, lost weight, and developed bulimia
moved home to live with my parents, hank, and emma
stayed in bed for almost a month with a pulled back muscle and wisdom tooth removal
did RENT, made new Lynchburg friends
worked at doctor's offices for almost a year
did Into the Woods
did Grey Gardens
moved to NYC
auditioned, got my shit semi-together
got a job at LUSH
booked Angelina Ballerina: The Musical, original off-Broadway cast- that turned to shit
was sick all the time
booked TokyoDisneyWorld from Jan-Sept 2011
went on internet dates/sketchy sexcapades
family visited NYC for Thanksgiving
That's a rundown. Other things happened, but they're not notable enough. In less than 3 weeks, I'll move back to Lynchburg for a month to spend time with family and get my life together before going to Japan. I'm nervous, mainly because I don't read or speak the language and it's a long time to commit to being far, far away. I've resigned myself to it. It's no scarier than going off to college, and this time I'm guaranteed I'll be performing and getting paid a shitload.
Until then, I'm living in an anxiety cocoon. I've barely left my bed this week. I think I'll restart my medication just to feel a bit more productive.
