After looking at who I've chosen for my favourite SGs, I've realized I'm a total pansy that can't handle facial piercings. Oh well. Pansy I be.
I've decided to quit school after this spring. Maybe not quit it quit it, but only take one class or two. I'm really not sure what I want to do with my life, aside from "theatre", in the broad sense, so I see no point in toiling away at classes aimlessly.
Not to mention the fact that I have to take a bunch of stuff that doesn't relate to theater whatsoever, just to graduate. It's not that I mind a broad base of knowledge; I'm highly in favor of reading as much as one can. But this knowledge is so spotty. It's like the beginning of a puzzle: you can either go all willy-nilly, setting a few pieces together here, a few there. But with that, you wind up with only the vaguest sense of the whole picture, and a bunch of meaningless details, a flower here, a bit of steeple with some sky there. Now if you begin assembling one section and work your way out from there, you may not see as much, but what you do see makes a lot more sense. That analogy is beginning to break down, so I'll let it be at that.
And I'm not sure I even need a degree to work in the theatre. I just don't think an education in theatre can properly fit in the public education mold. So I'm going to start working full time this summer, move out of the house with a friend who's moving up from Ashland, and start doing.... something. Put in my resume with a bunch of local companies, see what turns up.
And I love Lester Young and Miles Davis. And John Coltrane.
