The Modern Hoyden

Being severely underemployed and currently not doing a whole hell of a lot to change that has given me a couple of things:  1) A generally pessimistic and melancholic disposition 2) A lot of time to think about my generally pessimistic and melancholic disposition Now, I know that going out and getting some stupid job would probably help with the fact that for about 14 hours a day, I feel useless. But, unfortunately, the last job I had was very seriously, with no hint of my usual melodramatic flair, abusive. I've been with an emotionally abusive partner, the effects of which still seep into my relationships to this day and I have to say that my emotionally abusive work place was just as damaging. Not that I need to explain myself to you, but I'm taking some time to repair my mangled innards. I'm writing a play . I'm trying to write a play. I'm baking. I'm playing pokemon. What I'm saying is I'm doing some reflection. Looking inwardly and trying ...

This wasn't originally meant to go on my blog, to be honest. This was actually supposed to be a hilarious, self deprecating and short Facebook status update about "The most exciting thing that happened to me in 2015." That didn't pan out. Clearly.

Hi there, friends. Me again. I haven't written a blog post in a while, but I felt compelled to share some thoughts and I wanted to make sure you weren't forced to read them as an aggressively long status update. This is intended to be a New Years Resolution post of sorts. Maybe. Yes, it's a little late. Yes, it will probably be a little boring. But, I'm going through some shit right now, so you can suck it.

Or maybe just the writing of it will organize my thoughts and be a cathartic experience. Who knows? Hop on this train to self-discovery town and we'll find out together. CHOO CHOO! Let me explain to you how this year, I'm going to get out of my own way. "What does that mean?" you ask, suddenly and irreversibly invested. WELP, I have goals. Artistic goals. Career goals. I've been out of theatre school, fucking around...
