I feel like I should be posting a lot more, but I never know quite what to say. For those of you playing at home, my life is...in something of a transitional stage, to put it mildly. Last month, I moved away after five years building a life in Chicago, and then ran off to Italy for three weeks by myself, and now I'm making a fresh start in Washington, DC, basically on a whim, where I know no one and have nothing but a year-long apprenticeship on the administrative staff of a major area theater. I'm living in a house with the seven other theater apprentices, and again, know no one else in the area, so right now my entire life -- professional, social, whatever -- literally is my job. Which just really started today, and oh my god, this is either going to kill me or be the greatest thing EVER, I have so much work to do and it's in my field of choice and it's amazing, I finally feel like a real grown-up, and I'm quite possibly going to lose my mind because I have five thousand responsibilities and I need to be on top of all of them like yesterday while I'm still trying to figure out where the filing cabinet is. And I can't ever really leave work and go home, because again, I live with my co-workers, although at least we're all in different departments. And we're pretty much each other's entire social circle, since none of us are from the DC area ourselves. It's very Real World. With theater.

So, hi. I'm here! Really! Sort of! Also, desperately need to meet people who don't work with me, please. I know a couple of you live somewhere in the vicinity of Washington...

D.C. is my second home! I'm not there now, obviously, but let me know if there's anything I can help with. I used to know people at most of the major theatres as well, but I'm less sure now of who's where. If you want to e-mail and let me know where you're working, I can check my list of locals for you. D.C. does have rather a lot of major year-round theatre companies.

I really do need to explore the DC theater scene, once I've had a chance to get more settled in at mine. I was always a bit too daunted by the TWELVE THOUSAND theaters in Chicago; DC has a fair few, but it's still a rather more manageable amount. But, yes, and if you're ever back around here between your constant awesome string of jobs, we should totally meet up again. :)

I'd love to get together!

That would be really awesome. :)

That's fabulous news, I hope you do make some other friends somehow, just to keep the fishbowl aspect less oppressive. But yay!

I'll sort it out eventually, I'm sure. But yeah, it's great. :)
