Yesterday, my friend Malorie and I started our YouTube Video adventures. I'm pretty excited about all the things we're going to do/make.
I've been having a lot of energy lately. Not bounce off the walls energy...but...drive to do things. to make things. to work on things. to fix things. to throw away things. Working with Malorie yesterday was a relief of sorts for some of it. Anyway -
I still can't stop thinking about California. I'm so, so, so, so, so excited to go! I am going to drive across country, and I'm already figuring out where I'm going to stay and what I want to see and how awesome it's going to be. I need a video camera.

Ready to Go.
Wow. I haven't update in quite a while. I've been super busy.
I went to Los Angeles for the entire first week of February. It was my first time out West, not to mention my first time on a plane.
I was lucky enough to have someone to fly with. I had a window seat. Pretty fantastic.
Now I'm back in Virginia, and all I can think about is California. I enjoy all of the classes I'm in right now, but I'm ready to move. LA was so wonderful. We did workshops everyday from 10am to 10pm - meeting Agents and Casting Directors and Managers. Reading for them. Acting for them. Interviewing with them. Getting advice. Learning. I loved every minute of it. We all got to do exactly what we dream of doing in terms of our career. Everyone I met in California was so freshed faced and nice. The weather was perfect. And the industry is RIGHT THERE. and its all so possible. GAH! I just want to go back right now. Needless to say - this trip gave me the hugest case of senioritis.
So I'm trying to buckle down and focus on what's right in front of me. Okay - project for theatre history. NYC Showcase. Audition Tech. Archetypes file. Chekhov. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.
I still find myself day dreaming and planning constantly though. I've picked out a theatre and a few Agents/Directors/and Casting Directors to write cover letters to and to send my resume and head shot to. I want to work (possibly volunteer first) at one of the theatres one of the casting directors runs. Of course I would LOVE to act on that stage (not a lot of folks see theatre in LA) but...if I could acquire a second job there of some sort...costume sewer...property master...ticket seller...I would love it. I'm set. And I'M SO HUNGRY FOR IT.
I'm a big believer in how powerful people are. I'm not sure a lot of people realize this...don't realize how much power they have to bring wonderful things into their lives...but they do. Anything you want, I think you can basically have if you think you will have it, if you believe it, and if you work towards it.
I see my future. I see what I want. I see what I am going to do. I see what I am going to get. I see how I am going to make it all happen. I know this. I believe in it fully. I'm weaning myself off of saying "I want" and crossing over to "I will."
Also - last night on my way home from work I jokingly asked The Universe for $200. I was bored in my car and in an odd, wonderfully happy mood. I had just bought a lotto ticket for the fuck of it and thought, "How awesome would it be if I won like...$200?" I was so entertained by the idea (and so restless and bored driving) that I started singing a silly song about it. Then I pretended I was an auctioneer saying Twoooooooooooo Hunnnndred Dollaaaas! All the while laughing at myself. (NOTE: Work possibly makes me delirious).
Anyway - today I got three times that amount in the mail.
SCHWING!
