"It's about casting off the shell of what once was and embracing the mysteries of what is new." – MaryAnne from TrueBlood Season 2

Wow, MaryAnne….you might've been a self serving maenad who went crazy and sacrificed people to Dionysus, but at least some of your ideas were good. : )

 

In the past few weeks, I've been out with tons of people, read a lot of books, started classes, seen some movies, become obsessed with NCIS, done community service, visited with family, gone on vacation and revisited the world of love without expectation . I can't say I've been this happy in months. Things feel natural, finally. It's June 1 and I'm so pleased to have home wrapped around me like a safety blanket- or maybe it's more like stepping out of a pool that you were drowning in….that first gulp of air is absolutely imperative and important. That is how summer2010 feels. I have highschool friends all around me who laugh like I laugh and it is fantastic. I enjoy the sun. I enjoy the rain. Mostly, I enjoy walking at night. The heavy, wet but cool air of the south is not something you'll find anywhere else. And that's a beautiful thought.

Next week, I'll be running a theatre camp with my friend Bre and I couldn't be more excited. Or scared! They don't even have a production in mind. She and I will be responsible for all blocking, directing, costumes, etc. It shouldn't be too bad, right? After all….it's only about fifteen kids ages 5-12. Haha. I really am thrilled for the opportunity though.

As for tonight, my mom and I always eat Chinese together once a week and that is where I am headed. Peace.
