(no subject)
two entries I wrote awhile ago... I'm just going to post them both now
Music; the spring awakening cd on repeat
‘The wall eyed waiter and the French maid in the pantry with a champagne flute’.
I’m fattewr than I’ve been in ages But at least I finally have white teeth! I also have a serious new facebook addiction but we won’;t go there.
I’m pretty much still three sheets to the wind though sadly it’s 10 a.m the next morning. Oh what a new years eve it was! I wasn’t even fired! My boss, Dave, led me into the office for the official “talk” and I felt like I was being dragged to the principals office but after a firm slap on the wrist I was told that I had two write ups issued for the uncovered days I’d missed but he wanted me to know that they love me and my work and absolutely wanted me to stay. The best part: because the busiest season is coming to close they need to cut back everyone’s hours… so for the next few weeks I’m only going to be ON CALL! Which means that I can take any hours I want and turn down ones that I’m unavailable to work… yeah it’ll mean less money but that leeway is fabulous and it means that I shouldn’t have a real conflict with my filming schedule and the re-opening of Paradise at the end of the month. Score! Seriously they may have meant to punish me but they couldn’t have actually done me a bigger favor.
I worked until 11 30last night and I got to choose to play Minerva instead of Narcissa (the lady of mystery character that I don’t have nearly as much fun with.) got hit on tons by crazy drunken foreigners (and quite a few dashing Scott’s!!!) and
When I got off I decided I’d hang around to ring in the new year with my co-workers (there was free unlimited champagne) and this awesome group of guys from the University of Connecticut (who were really amused by me OUTSIDE of character too luckily.) They were the nicest guys and got me a constant supply of vodka cranberry's I was so wasted it was silly and we all had a wonderful time… oh and I got my midnight kiss. One of the waiters who are always flirting with me pulled me into the pantry and kissed me really hard… well before I regained my sensibilities and fled. Unfortunately not before a fellow waiter walked in on us and exclaimed “That has to be the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen!” Well forty minutes later EVERYONE freaking KNEW! EVERYONE! It was God-awful. Especially when Dave pulled me aside (for the second time that day …argh!) to lecture me. I tried to explain that I had been OFF WORK and OUT OF COSTUME… but I was just so tipsy that I’m not sure how clear I was. He kept chastising me and said that the guy was skeazy and that I could do better if I was going to do that ahaha… great, now this is all my fellow actors are going to be talking about.
I’ve never been more relieved and comforted to be safely back over the border and in NYC. Being gone just those six days was just enough to refresh everything for me. The colors seem crisper, the tourists slightly less intolerable and my favorite old standby hangouts all the more enticing and welcoming. I’ve already clipped out some info on upcoming auditions and I’m delighted to tackle the world!
Stella is adjusting perfectly to my apartment. She loves my hippy abode with all the beads and dangling tassels and especially the loft beds. She hasn’t left my side since arriving and she’s a surprising comfort.
I just read that one of my major long term competitors in acting has decided that this path is just not for them. You’d assume that this would illicit some sort of triumph in me yet it’s proving to garner quite the opposite reaction. I love that healthy sense of competition and secondly, I morn for anyone who has lost ones driving purpose and passion. What else would I have left? A resounding sense of emptiness. I wish this person would reconsider… give it another go. A hundred-thousand other shots… God, that’s just what it requires. NEVER GIVE UP! Never!
