I missed my six year Blogiversary.
FUCK.
All this nonsensical rambling started taking shape here on 2/16/07.
Since then we have discussed (I have written to myself) a huge array of issues most of which concerned me
and my ridiculous life. That being the
case, I figure I will take this very special Blogiversary post as an
opportunity to update the Blogworld of my life happenings.
I started this blog at the elderly age of 23. I am now 29
and getting closer every minute to my OH GOD I’M THIRTY mental breakdown. It
will happen. It will happen because I go into minor mental panic every year
regarding where my life is and what I’m doing with it. Mental breakdown Milestone is what is coming
this June. Huzzah!
I started this blog newly single. Then I got back together
with the guy (remember Casey?) within a few months. Last summer he got married
and very soon he and his wife will be having a baby boy. Clearly a lot has
happened in that time. Now I am dating my hot Italian lover who is weirdly
private about his identity and we are already coming up on our one year mark. Holy
shit, how did that happen so fast?
Exactly one month after starting the blog I developed
epilepsy. Things have been fine for the most part. I haven’t had a seizure
since, well, Wednesday, but usually it’s not very frequent. I remember less
when it does happen which gives me slightly less trauma aftershock. That means
I sob less and don’t stay up all night screaming at the ceiling anymore.
I started the blog when I was still in the evil advertising
industry. I moved around quite a bit and now find myself stuck in the very
slightly less evil real estate industry. Whatever, a paycheck is a paycheck
damnit.
I moved to New York in October of 2001. I went to school for performing arts crap. When
I started this blog, I wasn’t doing anything in that field anymore. Nothing at
all. Now, I’m in a cover band that PAYS me to sing! Now that I think about it, I've done various gigs all over the city. I am a member of an excellent theater
company that is constantly producing impressive work. I should probably be
proud of the fact that they even let me in! Outside of the company I just assistant
directed a VDAY Production of The Vagina Monologues. It was definitely a
worthwhile experience.
Looking over all that has changed, I feel pretty damn good! February in general is a shitty month for me.
I usually get terribly bad depression. I can tell this by reading my own
blog. This year, I seem to be doing
alright. It’s all okay. Just keep
struggling along and do whatever you can to stay happy. At least, that’s my advice for now. I also
have a continuous feeling of doom and self-implosion caused by my lifetime
belief that where there is happiness, suffering and pain are sure to follow. Stay tuned!
