california knows how to party

you may have or may not have heard by now, i'm moving back to california. and with a swiftness. i'll be back by the end of january. i'm moving back to pursue a career in acting.

joking.

it's a long story but the version you get is... it's time.

i'm excited for the move for many reasons (i love change, i miss my family, jack in the box) but as i get ready to move there are lots of unexpected reasons to be excited for the move... like my mom has a sewing machine so i can repair all my favorite clothes that i have broken over the last 5 years.

when i get back to california, i'm going to have some extra time (i don't have a job lined up yet, comedy sportz or a group of childless friends who will keep me busy) so I want to get back into some hobbies that i have let fall to the side. new places are a great time to get into new routines. so the old hobbies that i'm going to get back into:
running
painting
tap dancing
going to museums
listening to jazz
reading

i also had a dream that i was cast in a community theater production of neil simon's fools. so maybe i will look into making that happen. i would love trying some non-improv theater again. those hobbies kind of make me sound like i'm 70 years old and boring. but i'm not. for real.

i am going to miss virginia. i live in an incredible city. if someone was to ask me if they should move here i would not hesitate to endorse this area. it's awesome, y'all! but i am who i am and i was born with gypsy blood and it's time for a new town. or an old town that's new again.

the end.

I remember your first Sunday here in Richmond! Can't believe it's been almost three years.

Erica and I are excited to come see you in California...and you can get us into the secret areas of Disneyland!
