Something About Me Being Home

Decem-Beard

So Blog, I am back in the saddle.

And by back in the saddle, I mean I looked at my toolbar and saw that your link had gathered dust and feral internet creatures, guarding you fiercely so I, the abusive Master and Creator and Abandoner of thee, would not come back and harm you again.

I vanquished them to the trash bin, and now we are friends again.

Apparently, I have a beard now, and it is red and pointy and annoying and manly.

It was for Macbeth, which just closed this weekend and all in all it was a very amazing experience. I got my chance to play a serious role for the first time, which was a great challenge, as well as working in an arena theatre, in the round. The audience is RIGHT THERE, and it was very discomforting in the beginning but grew intimate and awesome as hell.

But things are grand. I completed Nanowrimo! 50,000 word novel, all done!

(The goal, not the book. But the book is coming.)

Now, I go to sleep, maybe, but hey, I'll be back soon Blog.

Stay classy.

Junior Year: The Year Time Ceased To Exist

This title isn't meant to be depressing, just realistic.

I have zero time for most anything. Sleeping, reading, eating, jogging, playing, and sometimes that includes blogging.

So you'll have to excuse these past two months of absence. (You don't have to though, I'm just asking nicely.)

But it's been a while, hasn't it? Course it has.

Let me fill you in on life, in the form of rhyme:

Camp Scuffy ended, however bittersweet
To Albany I went, my staff to meet

Training ensued, where we learned and we played
And I stood in front of a tower and danced for eight hours
on magical move-in day!

When my voice returned and my limbs stopped screaming
My residents, all forty of them, I started meeting
Most are great and I love 'em all
Just not when they smoke in their rooms, or party in the halls

But that's alright, nothing to do
Except lay down my authority and trust them to be smart
Cause most have common sense in their heart

Theatre's been popping, it's been my scene
Got three big show's going on, know what I mean?
New show opened last night, to some laughs and applause
Actors did well, family enjoyed, then sat and suffered for two more hours
(I know that didn't rhyme, shush)

Next week I get to play a cokehead
And then in December, I avenge my family
Against the Scottish tyrant, Macbeth

Sketchy Characters, my comedy family on campus
Are as awesome as ever. It's a big year
And awesomeness is in the air.

And that's about it. Family is well, school is awesome, job is well, theatre is well and sketchys are great, writing is getting done (eventually ha), and yeah . . . sorry this is so late. I've never been good at keeping a blog. I'll try to be better. Specifics coming soon on specific things!

Happy 50th blog post, Blog!!
