I found out several weeks ago that a guy I went to school with in high school died. Suddenly. A brain aneurism, I think. Point being he was much too young. He was only a year older than I am. At the time I just acquired the knowledge and that was that.
But last night I dreamt about him.
Vividly.
I pulled memories out that I had forgotten. My personal interactions with him. Like how he was Marius in Les Mis, opposite Whitney's Cosette. And how there was one day of rehearsal that Whitney couldn't make, and we would be rehearsing "The Kissing Scene". I was excited and nervous because he was so cute; who wouldn't crush on him. And as I was running up the stairs in the scene, Mrs. G. yelled out "Don't kiss." so I didn't. (But wanted to as myself as well as the character.)
And how we sang "All I Ask of You" in voice lessons, preparing it for a possible concert. I had butterflies of course.
His dad was even in my dream . . . and I thanked him for being so involved and building us such wonderful sets.
It was like unconscious catharsis. The dream was as real as any actual occurence because it could have been real. There were nothing to conotate that it was a dream except that I woke up from it.
So I will take it as real. And I will take those tears as my mourning.

Shoes.
By my front door there is The Plop. In The Plop zone is all the various articles I need from day to day. My purse, my keys, my bag for work, my bag for work, my bag for play. I'm stretched so thin I can scarcely keep track of myself from one moment to the next. Stability is tangible, but I feel it could fly at any moment.
So I ground myself in my shoes.
Who am I? If I look to my shoes, they tell me. At this moment, I am a receptionist.
Who am I? Millicent, the character I've created.
Who am I? A waitress.
Am I barefoot? Then I can breathe until I am myself in a role again.
But really, am I not just a series of performances?

Oh hi.
Okay it's been way too long, and my dearest called me on it. It's true.
Deleted the other blog, for those who knew of it/were following it. I'm fickle. Thus is my nature. I only have the desire to discuss it when it's happening, and nothing's really happening anymore. If you want the rest of the g on g story, just ask me. But for now, nothing terribly adventurous is happening in that department.
It's FAIRE SEASON! And I'm ill already! YAY! 3rd weekend in and I'm bogged down by a head cold. Yay me. I wish I could even enjoy the days off a little, but no, I'm ill and recuperating. Lots of adorable pictures of me are floating about, which always delights and baffles me.
I'm putting my toes in . . . ever so slowly . . . into the deep, murky waters of wedding planning. It's a scary motherfucker. Like, thanks Disney, for making me want that fairy tale bullshit. I mean, mine won't be traditional, by any means, but I still want that big ideal wedding. I can't avoid it, I have a shitton of family. It looks like we're looking at about 100 guests. Which could be worse, I suppose. But it's still a loooot. I don't want anyone taking on debts for this.
The illness better fly away because . . . it looks like I'm going to be waitressing in the very near future! There is a restaurant near Faire that is now managed by the husband of a friend, and a lot of Faire type peeps are working there, so I said hey, why not. I need the extra money bigtime, plus I'll love my coworkers. I've never waited before, so that part is a bit intimidating, but I figure it's 75% acting anyway. Right up my alley. The only thing I don't really know is how to do taxes when you figure in tips or whatever. Damn the man!
::sigh:: I feel like I've exhausted what I can say. I almost called my Beff last night because every once in a while I get that overwhelming pressure of eternity weighing me down. You know, mortality and all. No big, just looking your finite self right in the eyes. I avoided severe reaction but it's still entirely overwhelming.
I plan to start a big internet art project once Faire is over and I have spare time again. A web comic-y artistic outlet. We'll see how that pans out. Mah boy said he'll web design and we can go from there. It's good to have a project.
Anyway, I think I'm done. I'm busy doing nothing on my sick day, dontchaknow.

A Poem, by Artificial Intelligence, Racter.
"At all events my own essays and dissertations about love
and its endless pain and perpetual pleasure will be
known and understood by all of you who read this and
talk or sing or chant about it to your worried friends
or nervous enemies. Love is the question and the subject
of this essay. We will commence with a question: does
steak love lettuce? This question is implacably
hard and inevitably diffcult to answer. Here is
a question: does an electron love a proton,
or does it love a neutron? Here is a question: does
a man love a woman or, to be specific and to be
precise, does Bill love Diane? The interesting
and critical response to this is: no! He is
obsessed and infatuated with her. He is loony
and crazy about her. That is not the love
of steak and lettuce, of electron and proton and
neutron. This dissertation will show that the
love of a man and a woman is not the love of
steak and lettuce. Love is interesting to me
and fascinating to you but it is painful to
Bill and Diane. That is love!"

Disquiet.
For some reason, now that the show has gone up and passed, and the flurry of activity has ended, I have this unsettling feeling about being alone. Having free time. I'm so damn used to running around from responsibility to responsibility to socialization and back again that it feels like, if I stop for just one moment, I'll somehow break, or break down, or some unknown negativity will occur. I have had constant companionship for three months now, and am afraid of the fallout.
I guess because when it's all said and done, I'm left with myself. And that's just why.
I guess because when it's all said and done, I'm left with myself. And that's just why.

Blurred Vision.
So I'm going on this new blog endeavour, and went perusing an old internet blogs. It really . . . affected me. Like . . . I very much live day to day. And . . . I separate who I was from who I am. Things . . . are just difficult to read. I know I'm ever evolving, but . . . maybe I don't want record of it.

Gratitude.
"In every conceivable manner, the family is a link to our past, a bridge to our future." -Alex Haley
{"Swingset" by Trobs, DeviantArt}
If I could freeze a moment in time, in my memory, where it is summer in life's blossom and The Farm is as it always was, I would happily be penniless. But as life waits for no man's fancy, the farm and warmth of my memory has long since cooled, and we are left without it in the present.
There is no conceivable way I can possibly articulate gratitude for the gift you have given me, but as my heart cries to voice it, I will try.
I am so grateful to have some relief of my financial burdens, and cannot tell you how positive a change it will make for my life. Having just an extra $200.00 a month means I don't have to live paycheck to paycheck, in fear of the unexpected.
I love you both, and hope I've managed to convey how much this truly means to me.
~Danielle.

Overwhelmed.
I'm a bit overwhelmed. But not, like usual, in a negative way.
Some time ago I wrote of my Grammie's passing and the selling of the farm I grew up on. Well it is about to pass. Pass hands. Lifetimes. Into oblivion? Demolition? It's not in our hands. But my mother knows just how painful my monetary situation is and has decided to give me and my siblings each $10,000.
$10,000.
For me, that's half a year of work. Half my yearly salary at this point. Crazy.
I'm just overwhelmed. I don't know what to say or do. And also, it's really a gift from my father, who I will have an infinitely more difficult time communicating with.
Mom's going to pay off my car loan and then just give me the rest. That extra $200 a month means so much. I don't have to be a paycheck to paycheck wreck anymore. It seems so silly that such a gift can change me so substancially.
I just don't even know how to process all this.
