Confidence
I just went on a date.
It's the first date I've been on in eight months and it was fun. Really fun actually. It's funny how quick you put up a defense wall after getting out of a long-term relationship and how long it takes to find a sense of balance and a re-finding of who you were before that previous relationship changed you.
I've told this guy (I'm protecting anonyminity right now) that I'm not interested in a very serious relationship. I'm moving to NY in about seven months. He's looking at Washington, DC or Chicago in seven months. So it was a nice, light hearted, no pressure date and THAT'S when I can be most like myself.
So I feel good. We drank wine, watched Harry Potter, made brownies, made out. It was fun. And low key. And that's what I need right now.
I feel really confident of where and who I am right now. I'm focusing on the Chicago Showcase and gearing up for the NYC showcase auditions, which are happening next weekend...but they're so political right now that I don't even know if I want to be apart of them. I feel like it's going to be dram central and how much do I really want an agent right off the bat? Right when I'm just trying to figure things out? Is it neccessary? (any advice from the oldies is good here...). Regardless of the audition outcome I am moving to NY...unless someone in Chicago is like "Tim, you'd be GREAT for this regional theatre stint..." then YEA i'd take it...but most of the agencies in Chicago have offices in NY too so I could always ask if they'd transfer me to the NY office.
I'm not that concerned right now. I'm more concerned about graduating, saving money, etc, etc. So right now...I'm just riding the wave. I'm at the lowest weight I've been since freshman year of college. I'm opening my show in four days...and my family is coming up next weekend.
So, I have to look at the positive accomplisments and be proud.
I'm damn good.
You should get to know me. ;)
