It's only been two months since my last entry, but so much has happened...
Allow me to process a little and remember WHAT HAPPENED...
(Thanks for the prompt, Mandy :) )
This is going to be a jumbled mess, I think...
Touring "Romeo and Juliet" with Suitcase Shakespeare has been going very well.
We finish up our run at the Bristol Renaissance Faire this weekend (Sep 4-6th).
Come check us out!!
I discovered I still have asthma, but I have an inhaler again,
And my wonderful fellow company members are great at telling me
to SIT DOWN when I'm worked up enough to need it.
I went on a boat for the first time in a long time and didn't throw up.
It was a big boat, and we were inside for long enough for me to forget
that we were on a boat...
I don't like cilantro. But I still love Latin food!!
I am probably allergic to rabbit...meat...yup
Ironic: Rabbit meat garnished with carrots
(It happened. For real. Go to the Girl and the Goat in the west loop----it's shut-your-mouth-and-savour-that-flavour-with-a-"u"-amazing)
I've been listening to the musicals, "In the Heights", "Caroline, or Change", "Boojum!", and "The Color Purple", and the Dinka music we were given during "The Lost Boys of Sudan" at Victory Gardens pretty much non-stop.
A lot of people know me as "Captain Safety"--
but thanks to a wonderful group of brunchin' yoga practitioners,
we now have a whole regiment:
General Caution*
Private Fore-cite
Corporal Punishment
Lef-tenant Right*
Major Withholding
I'm sure there are a couple more I'm forgetting...
*'s have already been assigned/acquired by specific people :)
Oh, and if you haven't seen it already,
I have been honored and humbled to be recognized in this yearly article...
HOT%20NEW%20FACES%3A%20Our%20annual%20picks%20of%2010%20actors%20to%20watch%20for%20on%20Chicago-area%20stages
I wept with joy and humility and sorrow when I read the article,
because I was thinking of all the people who are so proud of me,
and the few that aren't around anymore...and the sacrifices
that have been made by others and by myself so that I can do what I'm doing...
God is GRACIOUS and GOOD. I am undeserving and great full. And God is GRACIOUS and GOOD.
The plants in our sunboxes are growing and sprouting flowers and arms.
My hair is getting really long and loc-ing out awesomely.
I'm going to two weddings really soon and I'm REALLY excited!!!
I am transitioning into a better way to keep track of my schedule
which might include the acquisition of a fancy piece of technology in a couple weeks...
Still writing poetry. I think I have about thirty pages now. I have some up on my facebook page.
I'm rambling now. And I should be sleeping. Well, that's the same as always.
"It's time to call it a day--DAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!" LC
