Hello, Livejournal, it's been a while.
I have a job. I work in the school costume shop four days a week, getting paid to do what I did all last semester (and one day a week) for free. It's pretty sweet. It doesn't pay a whole lot, but it pays enough, and it gives me something to put on my resume and things to put in my portfolio to hopefully get more jobs like this. It's fun and I enjoy doing it, even when I do it literally every day. In fact, the only reason I'm not working five days a week is because I signed up for the class credit to work in the shop before I knew if they were going to hire me.
My longtime obsession with analysis and exposure to social justice means I can throw together a paper that's not entirely BS with ease, which helps since I no longer have time to actually spend time on my homework.
My entire outfit today is stuff I made for myself.
I acted today for the first time in nearly two years. I hadn't realized how much I miss it. As much as my anxiety makes it difficult to audition, I think actually acting really helps. My social anxiety's been much worse since I went off to college/stopped acting, and today was possibly the easiest day for me to cope with people in a long time. It was amazing. (Although I have no idea when the hell I'd have time to attend rehearsals and learn lines when I'm trying to design for shows.)
I'm reading A Song of Ice and Fire (I'm on A Storm of Swords) and good lord but books.
I have a job, and a place to stay, and a stable relationship, and a plan to go to grad school. Some days I almost catch myself believing I'm an adult. Which always makes me laugh at myself because I am wearing a novelty spiderweb barette in my hair and spend time nearly every day yelling about My Little Pony.
The more things change, etc.
