I've realized recently that I have become so lethargic in my everyday life. I don't really do much outside of school/harmony. It's terrible that most of the time that I'm not at school/harmony I'm sitting in my house watching tv or on the computer. Now that I've gotten that mini rant out of my system I feel like I should tell you where I was the past two days.

Most of you don't know this, but it's extremely hard to find a job that is classified under my career program of Performing Arts. I'm exceedingly fortunate though, because while I've only had two legitimate jobs in my entire life, they were both able to be classified as Performing Arts. For the past two days I was working basckstage crew for my theatre company Mainstage's production of "To Kill a Mockingbird". I've been doing volunteer work at Mainstage for nine going on ten years now. This past summer I asked if they needed any stage crew staff for during the year, and they did. I am not a member of the Mainstage technical staff. That means I get paid!

The best part about doing tech for this particular show is that most of the time I just sit backstage doing whatever I want. The only real duties I have during the actual show are: helping the three kids up a set of stairs because campus security said we either needed a full railing on the steps or that someone had to help the kids until they got to the railing, setting chairs, and flying a black curtain in and out. All of this happens at the very beginning of Act 2; therefore, during the first act I just sit there and either finish a scarf my friend's parents commissioned from me, or playing games on my iPod.

While the pay isn't the best, it's still really good pay for the hours I put in doing the things that I do. Unfortunately this isn't a steady job because I'm only needed for the week before a play and the nights/days of the shows. That's why tomorrow I'm driving up the Six Flags Great Adventure to audition for their entire season in Entertainment. Of course when October comes around I'm going to audition for Fright Fest again, but until then I need a job that pays so I can get my drivers license because my mom can't afford to pay for my insurance so I need a steady job in order to take the test. Well, I guess that's all there is to it for now. I'll catch you on the flipside (yeah right nobody uses that phrase anymore). I'll keep you guys updated (that's better).
