Oh hell, here's another, just for you!
I'm in a much better place. I can't tell you how I got here, but I'm happy I arrived. It's not great, but I'll never turn down better.
I need to learn some music. Specifically, I need to learn some audition songs. The local theater group I'm most involved with is doing "Company" next spring, I want to...

I'm still here, y'all.
I actually visit this site once a day (usually). I'm lurking like crazy. I'm commenting on Member Review sets like it's my solemn responsibility. I'm read blogs and leaving no comments. I totally suck like that.
I've hardly known what to say.
If you'd like a dull, run of the mill update, there's some cool stuff going on. My boss agreed...

Congrats on the full time hire! I know what you mean about the not being so active on the site...i haven't been as much as i use to, i think it's the weather 
I understand your boy issues too....if the promise wasn't made...it would never be a big thought...but if he made it...he probably means it. Miss you, wish we got to talk more like old times!

That doesn't sound like an emotionally healthy place for you to live. Congrats on the job which will eventually get you out of there 
I hope you don't give up on your dreams completely. Adjust them a bit to make them more accessible, maybe, but never give up on them

GEMINI [May 21-June 20] "The truth is always more interesting that your preconception of what it might be," says author Steven Levy. Journalists "should not have the stories written out in their heads before they report them. Preconceptions can blind you to the full, rich human reality that awaits you when you . . . approach the material with an open mind." I think that's...

Are you quite sure you aren't also a lawyer?
greaser:
I'm so sorry I missed your birthday 
I have a good excuse, but if you still feel the need to punish me I understand
That as a nice true story, by the way. Except for the part about you being hated, but I guess that's part of life sometimes. It's a small price to pay for all the good stuff

It's been a long time.
I owe you stories (amazing! true!), and at least one photograph (Lusyd! InnocentSid!).
You'll get them later. Right now I have 16 thank you cards to write and some serious stretching to do. Love to you all...

I agree. I try to look at everything as a growing experience. Even if there is no fairtale ending at least you learned something and can make something more of yourself for it.
grayness:
Even if you're not around all that much... I am really, sincerely glad you didn't leave, and I am very happy when you grace us with your presence.
I hope all is well with you.

I'm feeling loads better, y'all. Glee from me!
A little bit of this (at least) is due to the fact that I may finally get to meet a few of you in person!
OMFG!!!!
I'm delighted by the notion. At least, I'm delighted once i stop being terrified. It's hard to get over the fear that people will see the real, weird, boring you.
It's...

The blues hit me hard this week.
On Thursday, my children's show closed. This ended the first month of my life when I was paid entirely by performing gigs (children's shadow puppet show + cabaret gig = monies for me!). Now the cabaret show is on hiatus, and I'm back to stage managing with the children's theater company.
Why bluesy?
It's more than the fact...

Actually, that's a possum. A mean, ill-tempered possum
I guess you don't have them up there, but they're everywhere down here. They're ugly, and they hate every living thing

Verbal upchuck of the day:
There is a piece
Alone, contented
Aware, relaxed
Touched, grounded
And then there's the way I live
And then there's the breath in me
And there's the stories of space to fill
The distance between the head
and the body I'm sure is mine somehow
I may even remember living in it
I did once
So I slowly tap my...

OOOh ooh i want one I want an allegro hug!!!!
I want an allegro hug!!!! WE FOUND HIM!!!!
My little boy is home safe.
I was sitting on the couch, coughing like man, when I hear my father scream. My sister runs to his aid as we both say "What happened?"
In a perfectly calm, somewhat stunned voice, my father says, "I found Ike."
My little snake was on the landing, in my father's left shoe.
Now he is wrapped...

I'm glad you liked my last set, thank you! ^_^
You said: I suppose it's less about life vs. death and more about the mark you make isn't it?
I think it is. And I think a lot of people would really be surprised--shocked, in fact--to find out the indelible marks they have made, good or bad; how much of what we do and say to other people every day really IS heard or seen. With a word, a gesture - so little can mean so much.
Kinda scary, but also kind of amazing. Isn't it?
