I love love.

Charles and Meghan had the most perfect wedding. I cried, I sang karaoke, and I believe I slow danced to 'Let's Get It On'.

makes the 'ole ticker ache just a little bit :)

Wasn't that subtle?

Well as Chipin.com deftly made you aware, I was accepted into the graduating class of 2012 at Dell'Arte International.

D: WHUT?

Besides the crippling terror life changing decisions usually come with, this (fantastic) news has brought me face to face with my financial history - specifically my defaulted student loans. They make my odds of receiveing federal grants or any financial aid pretty crunchy. That's ok. I feel like I can raise it all. I really do.

Oh the other thing it made me face is...ooh - I'm outta shape. This too I shall conquer!

I'm excited, I'm scared and I'm damn determined. One of my favorite combinations :)

As it was started, this is once again a dedicated blog! BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the meantime, enjoy my shiny new donations button!!! I'll be offering prizes and rewards and auctions and competitions!!

OO! Also, rehearsals on the commedia start in TEN DAYS!! SQUEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

"I know I left some funny in here somewhere..."

How would YOU...

... raise about $23K in 7 months?

I'm thinking about holding Vaudeville Open Mikes in town, good lord we have enough disgruntled circus people. What I really need is a wealthy sponsor. Someone who reallllly likes clowns.

Whaddya got for ideas, oh clever firends?

Well that's putting the cart before the horse. First I have to put together a 3 minute silent audition piece about my life. Jesus christ. I can't think of a single thing I wouldn't cringe to see if somebody else did it. And time is running out for the March 1st deadline. I haaaaaaate self indulgent performance pieces. Hate. Shall we go all caps? Let's. HATE. Am I doomed to become what I hate most??

This has been my Cupcake LunchBreak Braindump Update.

Eat your damned cupcake.

Seattle Haiku Time

The rain has begun

Now my jeans are wet, and that

That is worst of all.

New Power Cord = Precious Blogging

Happy New Year, blogosphere! 2010 eh? So much happened. I had a damn big year. A Big Damn Year™ even. The beautiful and talented Sweet (crafty) Clementine did a cute clever thing (surprised face) and made a year in pictures. I will do that now.

I did a pro 2 man comedy show. I did not know I could do this, and it was one of the best times I've ever had. Confidence? Boosted. Ten points for Jan-March 2010.

Saw San Fran for the first time! March 2010. Even took in a Cirque casting seminar.

B got MARRIED!! She so PRETTY!

I got Milo!!

Hey, the most artistically inspiring and important month of my life to date. Thanks Dell'Arte.

I got a job that seems to be pretty much a perfect match for me.

Added Stiltwalking to the skill portfolio...

Relationship status change. Miss my friend.

Grew a pair and clowned out loud. (Photo credit Ian Johnston, who also made the act 10x funnier!)

And because Andrea is amazing and generous as hell, I got to see Hawaii.

I am a lucky assed girl, and it's all because I have the best friends that there are. I owe you people everything. My very happiness. Not one of these wonderful things could have happened without you.
