The day is starting to lighten up a bit, which I am happy about. It started out all gray and yucky... and it just... yeah. I know I've mentioned how much that destroys me before, but it's so true and I just don't know what to do to improve that. I feel like the rainbow from that Jimmy Dean commercial.
Anyway, yesterday was an amazing day! So sunny and warm! I went to church in the morning, which still seems so weird for me to say... it just... yeah. Anyway, it was a nice experience. I received a Spirit message, which surprised me... I was just sitting there and one of the psychics was doing her thing, and she looked at me and asked if a Spirit could touch in with me. I thought she was talking to the guy behind me, but she wasn't. It was a crazy experience. I, of course, said yes.
She asked me if the name "George" meant anything to me. I told her it didn't... but I don't know all my relatives. She went on by saying that she see's George and he's coming to her in full theater makeup and garb. She said that he wanted me to know how important it was that I stop trying to push myself forward and take a step back and claim my place on the stage. At this point, the door swung open and light came spilling into the room. She grinned really big and motioned to it and said, "Could you get any more theatrical?" As soon as that happened, the number one rule of theater jumped into my mind, "Find your light." She told me that she saw me standing center stage with people around me. And that was the end of it.
It was... crazy... no one there knows I'm even remotely interested in theater... and then when I went home, I asked my mom about George. "What does the name George mean to you?" "George? He was my favorite uncle, we used to call him "Hod", why?" "Was he interested in theater at all?" "Oh God, yes. He was very much into theater and music." So I told her about what happened.
This morning, I registered for NEOHIOPAL, which is an e-mail list that sends out all the auditions in the Ohio area. The woman yesterday did tell me that I was eventually going to have to move out of Ohio... which I'm fine with.
After church yesterday, I talked to Alys and met her for lunch when she got off work. Then took my baby puppy out for a run because it was amazing. I knitted and then met one of the old theater people (Platinum Sue from Trafford Tanzi) to swing on the swings and go to Max and Ermas for drinks and cheese. She's the one who gave me the information about the e-mail list.
It was a very good, productive day.
I guess... it's time for me to stop being so logical and stop worrying about how I would make something like acting work for me... it's time to stop thinking about how to do it and just do it. I don't know why I keep fighting that side of me... it really is the only thing I really enjoy doing that much... and on top of that, my OCD is non-existent when I'm on stage... maybe it's because I'm too busy being someone else to worry about it... I don't know. It just doesn't bother me.
Anyway, so I've got this acting workshop Wednesday night. The Suzuki method of acting. Went to one last week, wasn't sure how I felt about it... but I will go again because there are only four of them and I can write them off as training.
Well, that's all for now!
Peace out.
