Life as it twer

Oh LJ, you are definitely the bastard child of my internet accounts.  I check you every day but rarely do I actually tell you the good, the bad and the ugly of what's going on in my life.  And then I am forced to write a monstrously long post updating my teeny audience.  Who probably knows most of it already because of facebook.

Anyways let's see if I can whittle the last few months down

The Good
I'm engaged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  4 years ahead of schedule.  Stephen and I had agreed to date for 8 years before we got married.  It was his idea - a clever ploy to buy himself more time before marriage and to hopefully get me to propose to him in the meantime.  But the timing worked with the whole probably-going-to-grad-school-fall-after-next so I agreed.  But had told him whenever he wanted to move it up he could.  So very spontaneously last Friday he did :-)  I won't go in to all the details (the full story is on facebook).  This past Thursday we met with a jeweler and designed the ring.  It's going to be really pretty.  Wedding won't be until summer 2011 most likely.

The Bad
Shortly after returning from California I found out Fiddlehead, which has been my primary place of work, is not having a season next year.  They are not closing for good - but they want to sell off their current theatre and relocate in the city.  The artistic director was offered Production Wardrobe Supervisor for Spiderman on Broadway - so between that and the economy it was a good time to slow down and rexamine.  However it does mean that all that work I thought I had in the fall is gone.  I definitely had a minor holy-crap-what-am-I-doing-with-my-life meltdown.  Luckily, I still have some other shows, and Green Street is miraculously not closing - so I'll have at least some theatre work.  I'm teaching tech theatre at a summer camp in July and August, and then I'm going to look into temping (office assistant, receptionist) to help during the slower months.

The Ugly
Hmm.  I guess the apartment could be the ugly.  Or the fact that I can't find 3 paychecks that I really need to deposit.  Hopefully when I clean today those will both be fixed.

Upcoming (hopefully will become the Good)
My birthday is Monday and some of my favorite people are coming into town for it :-)  Loading in Boston Gay Men's Chorus on Tuesday - we're in John Hancock Hall this time, so it'll be my first experience with union guys in Boston.  Friday Stephen and I fly to CA to go to Sunny's wedding.  I'm super excited for him to meet a bunch of HS people - and see where I grew up.  After that I will be throwing myself into lesson plans for the summer camp.

Damn, this post turned out longer than I thought.  One more - airemay and moonjess I want you to know that you were both on my email list for the whole engaged thing but the emails bounced back.  So at some point I need updated emails for both of you.
