update
it's been awhile, and a ton has happened (kinda). of course, i can't actually share most of it...but to explain in brief, my life sucks, and the few plans i had been forming for making my way through the real world have been shot to shit. for personal reasons (i'm fine, it's family troubles). but now i have been guilted into staying in new jersey. hopefully i won't stay in my house much longer...though i'm concerned for my parents and love my dog, i feel like this isn't my home anymore. not to sound like a lame ass from garden state, but it's true. so hopefully the lil sis and i will be finding an apt near her school, since she got shut out of housing and it kinda sucks for her. the fact that i can't move to nyc right now actually worked out better for her in that sense, so i guess thats good.
yeah, nyc's out for now, and i can't even begin to write about how disappointed i am. i'm gonna stop right there, b/c i cried about it almost every day for the past week. i'm not trying to make you feel sorry for me (if anyones even reading this), it's just a fact. i'll be fine.
random sidenote (garden state reminded me of this), on one of the last nights of my internship, nik and i talked to the father of one of the actors in garden state...the sketchy guy who works in the hardware store. he was in mother courage, too, and i guess his dad was pretty proud, and made a funny comment about how he was glad his son ended up doing this, b/c he really hadn't sent him to london to study shakespeare so he could be in supertroopers. lol but yeah, just another random story from my internship, which was awesome. they offered me another internship, but unfortunately, it's unpaid, and i really couldn't afford to keep commuting. hopefully if things change, i can go back. and i got second place in the sales contest, so i should get two tickets to a play at the public. i'm hoping they don't forget so i can go see king lear with kevin kline...both b/c i want to actually see king lear, and b/c i still love kevin kline. and still have all the songs from the show in my head. lol
if the tony kushner translation of mother courage is published, everyone go and read it. it's a great play, it really is.
sigh. i miss theater.
so now, i'm still at starbucks (which i do like, and our partner motto seems to be "Yeah, I was/am a law student/english major/artist, and i serve one great cup of coffee") i also just got hired as a part time teacher at the huntington learning center. today i had to take the SAT. yes...i am 22 years old with a college degree and i had to sit down and take a 3 hour long test. talk about a wtf moment.
no wonder why i feel like nothing's changed. even though my whole life has.
arg hope everyone else is doing well. i know i'm complaining a lot, but i'm really not looking for sympathy or pep talks (both of which actually piss me off right now lol). i just want to keep anyone who cares updated, and hope that everyone else is doing well.
