23

Today I turn 23.

Wow! I really don't feel 23 at all, and I still get ID'd every time I buy beer. So, I think I'm 23 going on ... 19? But I am quite mature ... well, that's a lie, I'm a dork most of the time, but much more wise than a 19 year old. Hmmm. 'Tis weird to be in this "early 20's" phase where we decided what path to choose, question the choices we've made, and are asking ourselves WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO WITH THE REST OF MY LIFE?? Be an actor? Run a theatre company? Write plays? Work with youth? Teach? WHAT!

And then I realize my life isn't even close to being half over (assuming I don't get hit by a bus tomorrow) so who really cares? So I don't know what I'm doing, nobody does! That's the point! It's not about where you end up in life, it's about the journey. And this is one great ride!

On a happy note, I got the part in Ugly Ducks, Pretty Swans! I will be playing Mal, the bully. Should be fun! I also auditioned for MTC today. It was good, short and sweet. Don't think I really suite the part that well (dry British humour just isn't me), but it's still good to audition. Keep the skills fresh!

April 17, 2006, the day I turn 23. Arrived back in Winnipeg after a relaxing weekend in the country, audition for a major theatre company, went out for Sushi with my Matthew, and enjoyed this beautiful spring day. Ah, life is good.
