Enjoy the Little Things

I should be reading Fight Club right now.  Or taking my Literature and Film  midterm, but I had the overwhelming urge to write.  I’ve been hit with so much good news today and over the course of the last couple weeks, it’s crazy.  My friends from high school are some of the most talented, driven, intelligent people I know.  They are constantly striving to be better than who they were yesterday.  They never settle for mediocracy.  I admire each and everyone of them for that.  I admire them for achieving their goals and living their dreams.  Sometimes they are  my best role models.  Five of my good friends from high school have been cast in a show this semester, plus myself.  Five of my friends will be gracing the stage at their respective colleges and showing their audiences the love that was instilled, or confirmed, or challenged, or nurtured on the Methacton stage.  The six of us will grow as actors, as performers, as people because of our experiences in our respective shows.  I can’t put into words how proud I am of these five wonderful actors.  I’m sure Pippin, Coram Boy, Heathen Valley, 4.48 Psychosis, The American Dream, and Anne Frank will all be simply wonderful.

My other friends are rocking it off stage as well.  There is a comic strip artist being born in one.  She is so amazingly talented and funny, she amazes me all the time.  One is showing her great leadership in her activities at school.  One is involved in a sorority and probably just being super awesome.  My newest friend in this group just got accepted into the Disney college program.  And so many others are making a name for themselves.  We are all making our mark.  This good news gives me hope that our futures will be bright and that maybe life won’t be as hard as I’ve anticipated it to be.  And my best friend; well he blows me away almost on a daily basis.  He works harder than most people would expect him to or would give him credit for.  He’s paving an amazing future for himself.  I could not be happier each time he brings me good news.  I admire him for working so hard and pushing himself to his limits; probably more than I would like to admit haha.

Things seem to be going pretty well for me right now.  I mean, this week may kill me because I have so many things due and so many tests… but I think I’ll live.  I’m going to Boston in less than three weeks with two pretty awesome people.  I’m in a show and I love the fact that I’m acting again.  Today was our first day “on our feet.”  I can’t describe how amazing it felt to be up there.  It’s just a fun show.  I love that I can try something new every time.  And the best part is my character is developing into me haha.

I just get a little worried when things are so good.  The higher you climb, the harder you fall.  I hope this lasts.  Or when I do have to come down, I hope it’s  a gradual descent.  I’d rather not crash and burn.  I’m getting pretty excited to start anew next fall.  I think I’ll do well.  I’m finally getting comfortable with myself.  Gah. This entry is so poorly written and stupid and mushy and random.  I just wanted to write.  I’m so happy right now.  So proud.

Maybe I’ll edit this later and make it more entertaining.

The heavens at my birth intended me for stardom. Rays of light shone down on me and all my sins were pardoned.
