poop! bag?

poop is the bear.

my clown wonders if perhaps her name isn't bag. bag?! wtf?

anywayz.

so these past three weeks have been amazing. seriously amazing.

about two years ago i had a TERRIBLE performance experience where the worst of it wasn't even the broken foot. when it was all said and done i wasn't very interested in ever performing again. yes, i've done small things here and there but mostly i have shyed away from the stage. yesterday reminded me of why i loved performing in the first place.

it was so great to look out into the audience and connect with strangers and friends and understand that we were all there for the same reason. i know this sounds cheesy but whatever, fuck it, it's true. we were connected and that felt fucking amazing. seriously, i'm entertaining thoughts of theatre school again. acting school. seriously. fucked. up.

the other really awesome thing was that all the people who i wanted there were there (and a few extra's too) and the weird thing about that is that save for one exception those people were not the people who i would have wanted there a year ago. did that make sense?

i suppose i was just struck (again) by how much life has changed over the past year and how happy i am for the changes. i pretty much have the greatest friends ever in the world.

xo michelle.

p.s. i also have a new unattainable crush which is awesome!

What kind of performance did you do exactly?
Theatre? Music? Wilco alternative covers? :D

I'm still bummed I missed it! Boo. Next time anything of the sort goes on I will be in the front row... unless the only room for wheelchairs is near the back ;P

Anyways, you're lucky to have something that you enjoy so much as part of your life.
