Hello followers!

Hi. I haven't updated in a while and I thought that I should remedy that. I need to update the three of you on what has been going on with yours truly/ Well, to begin with, I have graduated from the Second City Improv program, concluded with a final performance that took place on May 1st. It went well, although lately I have been way too "in my head" during scenes and am trying to get back to when I didn't have to work so hard. I have also been auditioning quite a bit, and to my delight, I was chosen by ComedySportz to be on a summer rec league. I am very excited about this, because I love game-style improv. I know that improv people sometimes look down their noses at short form improv groups, but I think it takes just as much skill to perform this type of improv as opposed to the other stuff.

Exciting things are happening!

Plus, I got a bike! More news on that later!

February already?

I woke up this morning to some pretty heavy falling snow. We had a lull for a week or so and most of the snow had melted. This morning took care of all that. There is a fresh new blanket on the ground and it's still coming down pretty hard. It always seems to happen when I don't have to be into work until the afternoon. :)

I had a big audition this weekend that ended up going pretty well. Now I feel like I'm playing the waiting game to see if any of the companies are interested in me. I just wanna do a show, people!

I'll be in Florida in less than 4 days and I can't wait to catch up with all of my friends, see the parents, and see my CAT. :)

My birthday is in 6 days. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Actually, I'm still excited about birthdays. I love them!

Trying to update more often...

I'm a bit crap at updating on a normal basis, but I remain optimistic that it will become a habit. This year has started with me hurling myself into the Chicago theatre scene. I have already been on one audition and I have a rather large one scheduled in 2 weeks. It's exciting to be auditioning again. I am itching to be a part of a show again, particularly a play, but I'm open to other genres as well. I'm going strong in my improv class and have decided to tack on an acting class as well. It's focused around the Meisner method and is very interesting and has elements to it that are unlike anything I have ever attempted before. I know that in the short time I have been in Chicago I have learned so much and grown as a performer and I hope that this year continues to be formative in shaping some semblance of a career.

Also, what's with NBC throwing Conan under the bus?
