My amaryllis just recently started sprouting too. I swear, every time I think the poor thing has finally fallen victim to my black thumb it surprises me yet again. :)
Arwen,
Can I just say how sad I am that I missed you in Streetcar. My life has been so completely overwhelming for the past few months that I hadn't checked in for a long time and didn't even know you were doing the show.
I also wanted to thank you for putting into words how I feel about theater and music. It takes up so much of my heart and soul that I don't know how there is room for much else. I truly, truly miss working with amazing, talented, smart people like you. I read your blog and it makes me cry because you have the talent and bravery to do what you WANT to do with your life. And me...I'm working for a real estate broker cause it pays the bills and it's safe. I wish I were half as brave as you are.
Take care of yourself. ~Erica
oh erica.... i am so very moved.... thank you. thank you so much. there are definitely days that i feel braver than others.... and as i sit here at the part-time dayjob, i don't feel quite so brave. ;) however, i know you understand how hard the constant 'putting yourself out there' is... coupled with the fickle and often unfair nature of the theatre world... and being constantly judged... and bare naked open to critique...etc etc etc. it is hard. and thank god.... sometimes it is REALLY worth it. worth every freaking mental, physical and emotional bruise. even the ones that I still bear on my soul. ouch.
and so i stay at the accounting firm partially because it pays the bills (and to be fair, because they are really cool and flexible with me), but also partially because i would probably go fuck nuts if i actually worked in the theatre/music/circus world all day every day. i mean, the people who do this shit are crazy!!!!! ;) no, really, they are.... this I KNOW that you know.
and besides... i am stubborn like mule.
