I finished up with the last of my finals on Saturday, and now I am ready to embrace this winter season and enjoy the holiday break with mis amigos y familias. Its a beautiful day today, and i want nothing more than to head to a park with somebody fun and get super high on the swings, but alas I have seen all the sun I will be seeing today, as I work till after el sol recedes into the horizon. hopefully somebody will play with me afterwards
Ash's Saturday night Blue Christmas party was a blast. The people were all great fun, SingStar was a hit, Amanda and I both dominated the domino table, and the white elephant exchange left me with my favorite boardgame Clue. I was super excited about that. Gonna have to play soon. After all the revelry had pretty much died out I stayed up way late watching Project Runway with Jeanette. Didnt pass out on the couch till like 6:40 or 7 in the AM. Good stuff.
Times are tough. Things are changing. Its hard when you realize your friends dont need you as much as you need them. Hopefully the situation will stabilize itself. This is not the end.
Exciting news, I auditioned for my friend's play a week or two ago. It was the first time I had actually auditioned for anything in like three years. I was nervous as fuck, but I guess I did okay, cuz he wants me to be in it with him. Its a short piece, with only two characters, its quite personal and pretty much follows the course of their "relationship" from the first time they meet on a park bench to the last time they share a bed together. Its written mostly as verbalized thoughts directed towards the audience, with short bits of dialogue between the characters, which I think is an excellent way to show how our expectations, fears, insecurities, and so forth shape the situations and relationships we find ourselves in. Bastion wrote it, is directing it, and starring in it opposite me.
Now here's the kicker, Bastion and I have sort of been seeing each other for a while, with great emphasis on the "sort of." Two years ago we met and spent some time together and things kinda got fucked and he went to New York. Well just recently i took a trip to New York and we kind of reconnected while i was there. Now he is back in Austin and we have been seeing each other when possible. Im fairly positive we want different things, and that Im possibly going to get hurt - BAD. But for whatever reason I just cant seem to give up on this kid. Clearly there is something there i see, otherwise I would have cut and run long ago. At least Im trying this time. Anyway, in many ways this play kind of parallels our pseudo-relationship, and Im wondering how thats going to affect the play, and vice versa. I feel its going to intensify things drastically. this could be a bad thing, but I think it could be a good thing as well. Anyway, im excited to see what comes of this.
I just cant seem to get motivated enough to work on Christmas presents this year. I fear I may not be able to come through this year. I dont even know what im going to be doing, where I'll be, who Im going to be spending it with. I may come back to Conroe and see Alan and Chanda and my friends and such, or I may stay in Austin and spend time with my cousins and JJ and Matt perhaps, or maybe San Antonio with my dad and Grandma to see my uncle (though I think this may be happening after Christmas now). I've no clue. But Jeff is going to see Mom and Grambob in Michigan and I am super jealous.
Jeff is going to China for at least a year to work as an electrical engineer! He just got the offer not too long ago, and he leaves in January. I cant wait to visit him. I am getting so excited and he hasnt even left yet.
Thats it for now I guess. Just an update for those who actually still use this thing, which im pretty sure is just Cathy. Haha. Love you Cathy!
