I"LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!! and not only in my dreams, LITERALLY. and officially. The flight has been changed, and i am feeling dandy! It's funny, yesterday was an awesome day, and yet, it dosent make me want to stay longer than is right for me. I had a great spanglish, not always understandable, but lovely coffee date with a guy who works at the hotel near me. He's from spain, and thus has a bit more spunk than most withheld londoners, so that was a fun break from the norm. And work last night was actually really really fun. I was working with two of my favorite co-workers, and there was an English football match on with kept business flowing and exciting, and then a huge group of french men came in and after i poured them two rounds of 16 drinks, they decided that i was marvelous! (but pronounced mravel-loose....they were french after all). And then, to top it all of a totally southern of all southern-ness guy from south carolina came to the bar and proceeded to intoduce me to his uncle who is from BLACK EARTH WISCONSIN!!!!! The world can get so tiny!!!!!! i mean really how many people know intimately where to find blackearth besides me. And on top of all that, during the lunch rush a couple days ago, not one, but three young men gave me their numbers...one on a napkin and the others on their bills. What can i say, bartenders are sexy...even if the management continues to be stupid faces.
So yeah, it's not all that bad, but as once again, roam if you must, but come home when you've seen enough....and come home in time for theatre auditions. With february offering a multitude of oportunites in auditions i feel very certain that it is a good time to venture back and get back into the game. I miss the game. Being away from it has been the best possible move because it makes it all so obvious now. It's so clear, the need, the desire, the passion. The questions and doubts are quickly no more. I mean granted i did not pick an easy career, but i did pick the best possible life. Anyway, when i get back i will not mind some pre-audition feedback, so i might tie a few of you down and make you watch me monologue. and i will likely crash on a few minnesota couches. just warning you all.
After work tonight i am catching up with the minnesota theatre kids for some drinks and some sleeping over at annas....and wearing matching shirts that anna and i found in portabella market. yay matching shirts. and yay christmas....i forgot how much i love christmas, i love it A LOT!
