Hello?

Well hello there, its been a while huh? Yeah, well I find it hard to talk about myself so much, and is anyone really reading this anyway? Well lots of stuff has been happening and I think its important for me to keep writing, whether anyone is really listening or not, for myself more than anything. Ironically its when things start happening fast that I don't take the time to sit and write, but its the time that its most important.

Bedtime in Detroit, a new play by Ellen K. Anderson :) has been going well and with only two more shows left that means its time for me to start packing up and move to LA! This show has been such an unexpected and wonderful experience. I have become very spoiled getting to work with Ellen who truly is an actor's writer and I feel so lucky to say that Jeff Mills and Sage Parker are no longer teachers and mentors, but colleagues as well. I'm just excited that I will now be moving to LA with that freshly charged feeling of live theater in my bones.

I love to hear people's reactions when I tell them that I'll be moving next week. A surprising number of people didn't believe that I ever actually would move. I've been talking about it for months, well since I graduated really, and I think their mistake was assuming that it was really "just talk". Erik tells me that my second toe sticks out a bit longer than my big toe and this is supposed to mean that I'm a stubborn person. I take this as a compliment. I'm usually quite "go with the flow" but when I set my mind to something, I usually am quite stubborn. Life may have taken a few turns and it may have taken longer than I originally thought, but I never doubted that I would be moving. Everyday and every action I have taken has continued me in this direction. I guess I see stubborn and driven as synonymous. I'm just excited to start a new life with my many old friends down in LA.
