Today I'm going to work (which I'm enjoying and is going well, by the by) and then I'm going to block my scene for Glass Menagerie with Vicki. Thursday is my drama meeting where that little scene will be performed. I wish I weren't nervous about it - but I am. I know my lines, they are not even that difficult. Vicki has the tough part, with a pretty lengthy monologue.
So what's the issue you wonder? Well, I identify with Laura, my character, a little too much. Especially in this scene. It would have been impossible for me to play Amanda (or Tom or Jim, for obvious reasons) and that left only Laura. So Laura I am. And Laura I live. Until after the 25th when this will all be but a memory. One that will oddly live in some place in my own reality. One I can look upon with nostalgic thoughts and escape in forever if I wish. Just like Laura.
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"
