(New Year's) Bells Are Ringing

So, here we are, 2009 and times, they are a'changin'. Lots has happened and life keeps trucking along, but things can only get better from here, right?

Well they should, so here are the resolutions for 2009. I'll probably break all of them, but it's good to have goals.
1. I have to write every day. Preferably in this blog, but I've got a journal as well. Writing is one of those things that I wish I were good at, but I'm not, so I should practice.

2. When I'm not working on a show, I have to go swing dancing every Thursday. I'm not kidding about this one. I love it, and I haven't been in MONTHS. Plus it'll help with resolutions 3 and 4....

3. Lose 10 pounds. This one is a constant and the one most like to be broken (well, other than the writing one). Still one can dream, and maybe I'll actually be good about this.

4. Make friends outside of the theatre. It's hard, since the social clocks are wildly different between theatre and real life, but I'm never going to meet the right guy in the theatre. It just isn't going to happen. Hence, making friends outside of the theatre and pursuing other interests.

5. Be more careful with money. I've been pretty good, but I've been lucky so far. It's going to be a while in between shows at this point, so I need to make sure that I can afford to live in my apartment when I'm not working two jobs.

6. Embrace my firey tendencies. I don't, I supress them often, letting them out at inoppurtune moments. If I embrace it, perhaps I will get different results, which is good.

That should do for now, I suppose. There's lots that have been going well this past year, moving out, getting a job, graduating, all of that fun grown-up stuff, but I'm not satisfied yet. I should be, but it's difficult. It can be dang lonely working my ass off like I have been.

Peace, love and ticket stubs, folks!
