Oh, I have been a horrible, horrible updater-and there have been lots of big things happening it my life! Sheesh.
So, let's start off by saying that Grand Night ran really well. It was absolutely beautiful and the cast was freaking fantastic! They made my job as ASM easy. I did have to miss closing night because what did I do that morning? Oh flew to my new home in New York!
I've been here, what? Almost six weeks? That's kind of crazy ridiculous. I'm pretty much loving it. I do miss my dogs, my mom, my friends and fresh air, but I'm a tough girl and have been handling it well.
I have four almost wonderful roommates-one is grating on all of our nerves. But enough of that. haha.
I live in the Village, two blocks away from Union Square. Super great area. I've eased into the city really quite well. In fact I'm pretty sure I've always meant live in a city rather than...Montana. Not that I don't love home, I just can't do what I want there. I'm so stimulated in this city. I could never say I was bored here. Which is quite different from what I would say at home. haha.
I've seen some good performances since I've been here. The first week, my roommate and I went and saw Bunked! as part of the Fringe Festival. It was so cute. Loved it. Then one of my suite mates and I went and saw Rock of Ages. Loooooooooooved it. The music is still stuck in my head. Then last Friday, I saw my friend Sarah Ann and her band Alien Surfer Babes perform at the Bowery Poetry Club. They effing rocked! I loved seeing her perform. She's an amazing singer!
MissT will be here next week, and then we're going to have a HAIR reunion with all the cast members that live in the city. Soooo freaking excited to see everyone. I miss all their faces. We may all live in the same city, but it's big and everyone's so busy so I never get to see them.
I'm currently working as an office assistant in my residence hall, and it's super nice because 1) I get to do my homework most of the time, and 2) I just have to take the elevator to get to my room. Along with that and my classes, I'm doing dramaturgy for the school play. I hate it. Ok. Hate is a harsh word. But it's not enjoyable. So guess what I learned from this. I'm not going to be a dramaturg. Oh, well. haha. It narrows down my choices. I mean, I love acting. That's what I want to do. I also like directing though, and I have a very "designer" mind. So that's where I'm headed is that direction.
I've also been getting into more just music area. Aka, without the theatre part. I've been writing lyrics and sending them to my friend so she can compose music to them. I busted out eight songs last week. Majority of which I was pretty proud of. I really, really have a super strong urge to perform. Any songs, doesn't matter, I just want to. So that's my goal. For when? I don't know. But hopefully soon. I need a band first!
So that's what's been up. Probably other things too, but who knows right now. Haha. Just been going and going. I will really, really try to keep you updated more often. Promise.
Peace,
Bree
