The past few days, I've been reading quite a bit. This means that I become rather introverted and quiet- whenever I read a new book (novel, recipes, encyclopedia, whatever...) I like to let it rattle around in my brain a bit.
I don't consider it a bad thing, as I am quite happy with my thoughts. But my silent cerebral musings seem to discomfort certain people around me.
I don't know what my facial expression is when I'm in "think/ daydream mode". I can't imagine I look like an axe murderer or the grinch, but people always ask me what's wrong!
Is there something about my personality that makes people feel that the sight of me thinking is a reason for concern?
In any case, I've been reading some essays on post-2000 feminism, a collection of dumpling recipes and short erotic stories based on classic european farytales. Interesting mix, no?
I have also made a not fun financial decision. There is no way that I can afford going to England for Mike & Hannah's wedding.
All of our friends from our production company will be there, plus all of their signifigant others whom I've grown close to in the past 10 years.
But a weekend wedding in Cambridge during the height of tourist season gets really expensive. Round trip flight, 3 nights in a hotel, food, wedding gift, new dress... it would set me back nearly two-thousand dollars!
I really really wish I could afford that right now. Mike is one of my dearest friends and Hannah is so wonderful. The wedding and reception are both being held on the gorgeous Cambridge University campus, surrounded by medieval castles and sculptures and rolling green lawns.
Being poor sucks :(
There are a few more audition offers showing up in my inbox, so I should buckle down and get my next week of appointments scheduled.
