- Closed my show. Who knew I would miss doing one of the saddest pieces of theatre I've ever been involved in? But I do. I miss my Salesman peeps mucho. So So So grateful for that opportunity.
- Moving in a month or so. I'm pretty sure I'll be moving in with Alicia Washington and Jessie McCowin, which will be the most fun. Their place is just a few streets away so once we've settled things I think I will probably just slowly start transporting things over there a little bit at a time. The one sad part is that my Buster won't be able to move in with me, so he'll get to have a summer vacation at my mom's house until we move out of state.
- I've been counting calories. Sounds like zero fun, but I'm not being a nazi about it. I'm just making myself aware of how much it really is that I eat, and trying to be as active as possible at the same time. I'm using an app called MyFitnessPal and it is super helpful. I just know that I've been unhappy and uncomfortable in my own skin for a while, and even though I'm not "fat", I'm definitely not at my ideal weight, so it's time to stop complaining and start paying attention.
- I'm diving back into the world of Shakespeare and prepping myself for an audition in a few months. Layton City is doing a production of As You Like It and I am DYING to be part of it, ideally as Rosalind or Phoebe. I'm re-reading the play itself, and brushing up on Twelfth Night as well, looking for a monologue to audition with. It's good for me, I haven't done a lot of work with The Bard in quite some time, and its good to remember that good actors are always working on something.-and finally-
- The Supreme Court is hearing cases regarding Prop-8 and DOMA this week. It's a hugely historic event, in and of itself. On top of that, thousands of people have changed their facebook avatars to red equality logos to show their support for Marriage Equality, myself included. Some people are calling it "slack-tivism" to just change a picture and not do anything else, but the resounding echoes of "thank you" from my LGBTQ friends and neighbors who appreciate the support and love proves to me that hope is enough. I am proud of my youngest two siblings who changed their FB-pics to equality symbols. I am proud of my friends Tia and Lauren who were married in NYC this week and I hope that as the hearings at the Supreme Court come to a close they will be able to know that their marriage is recognized all over the country. And, I am proud to know that whatever happens, I am on the right side of history. I am a supporter of equality, and a supporter of love, and a supporter of hope. How can that be wrong?
