Day Six
Six Places...I'm going to choose six places that I've lived...not in order.
6. Los Angeles...often a soulless city, and one that I find at times intensely isolating and lonely, still...I did fulfill a dream here. I moved out here wanting to be a talent agent, and now I am one. So that is something. I do have friends here and people that care. I know that, but often I feel so alone.
5. Montgomery, Alabama: Much more fun than I expected it to be. Maybe it's the instant family/circle of fellow grad students and actors stuck in the South for 6 months in a rep. company, but these were great years.
4. Fredericksburg, Texas: My hometown...I love visiting, but I'm not sure if I could live here again full-time. I would be close to my family again, but the small conservative town in Texas would likely not suit me that well.
3. Ft. Worth, Texas: Also, some excellent, excellent years....I had great professors and great friends during my tenure at Texas Wesleyan University. I also like the vibe of downtown Ft. Worth a fair amount...or I did when I lived there. It could be completely different now.
2. Baltimore, Maryland...a miserable internship, but otherwise a great year. I made good friends and had tons of new experiences and got to see some amazing theater.
1. Tuscaloosa, Alabama: An interesting dichotomy...and what a football town. I hadn't been around college football fans like that until Tuscaloosa. A good 9 months.
