Mondays


Mondays suck - even if they are my current off day.
To lighten my monday up I have been looking at my favorite inappropriate comic.
I have picked my favorite ones (in no specific order):

Thinking...

Things I am thinking about today:

- Nature and how beautiful it is outside today

- Charities, organizations I believe in:
www.love147.org
www.twloha.com
www.skate4cancer.com

Everyday people making an impact on the world. Some of them starting out young and with an idea.

It has nothing to do with having money, sometimes its raising awareness and if money is needed then making sure the people that have money know how they can help.

We all should take part in making the world a better place.

-Thinking about the AMY Project.

We did the very last performance of the show at Luminato. It was a very hard year, many fights, many mean things said yet all of these amazing young women decided to go out for dinner after the last show (even though there was a fight right before it that almost cancelled the last show "I feel like if I go on stage I'm going to kick someone's teeth out"). Anyway, they went out for dinner, made up and plan to go out again -The show by the way brought people to tears. These ladies love each other, post beautiful notes about each other on facebook and this experience has brought them together which is funny because they make a very unlikely group of friends. The upcoming year will be year 5 - amazing! Five years of young women and professional theatre artists coming together, mentoring each other, learning, growing and putting a darn good piece of theatre together collaboratively.

- Still blue, still sick, still sore from the tetanus shot, still not enjoying life but hopeful; why?

There are good people out there doing really good things and even if there is a lot of horrible stuff going on in the world, we can not give up because we are not alone when we fight.

Birthday Blues

In honor of my blues I'm going to write this in shades of blue.

Birthdays are never easy. I remind myself of this every year and acknowledge that it is a time to reflect. This year it is hitting me harder then usual probably because I feel like I have not achieved much and by my age I should be diving into life head first.

I'm going to make a list of what I have learned this year, what I have done and try to create a summery for myself.

  • I travelled - Poland, Germany, Switzerland, France (on my own).
  • I taught myself how to sew - I'm actually good at this.
  • Caught up on a lot of reading - including buying hundreds of dollars of new amazing books
  • Started a collection of beautiful vinyl toys
  • Worked with a bunch of visually impaired actors
  • Met a ton of amazing inspiring people
  • Got many jobs that I did not expect to get
  • Gained friends or re enforced existing friendships
  • Assisted someone with Lighting design for the first time
  • Got my name on a couple show posters
  • Bought my very first expensive piece of art
  • Saved a life (I don't believe it but a friend has told me I have done it)
  • Grown a little bit in hight
  • Started relationships (and ended them)
  • Tried to get help - and gotten it even if not successfully
  • Experienced new parts of Toronto
  • Gotten another tattoo
And most importantly... I Survived a whole year. That on it's own is good enough to go out and celebrate.

Afternoon laugh.

Post show blues?

Can't decide if this is post show blues or if its the cold I'm getting or if its my birthday coming up or if its the very unsatisfying job I have coming up... Eitherway I'm not feeling the best. To counter the crappy feelings I made breakfast for dinner.

Consisting of:
1. Egg
2. Whole Wheat English Muffins
3. Vegetarian Bacon
4. Home cut fries
5. Tomato

'

It made me feel better for a bit... Until I got nauseous. Yay life.
