A Chicken Made of Rubber


Well, hello world. How've you been?

You're probably wondering what have I been up to these past few weeks? If you're not wondering then...why are you reading my blog??

I just closed a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I have to admit, I really wasn't excited about the show when I auditioned for it, and initially when I was cast and the rehearsals got underway, I dreaded going. I didn't really fit in because I was in a different age group than most of the others, but eventually I started to let my quirks run free and I started to fit in and make friends.

Get this y'all - one of the girls is named Molly. Not only does she share my name, but she also eerily as obsessed with flamingos as I am...what are the odds? And what's weirder (but maybe not as weird as the flamingos thing) is that her middle name is very similar to mine. Plus she's just a hoot to be around.

The show was really fun. If I wasn't onstage, I was backstage changing for the next scene. It was fun being in the ensemble.

So I'm moving. We sold the farmhouse. It sold unusually fast. So now we're hauling all my crap into my parents' house and I'll be living there until further notice. I'm really hoping that further notice means that I'll be moving in with a certain someone, but right now it's not looking like things will be working out in my favor. Which is understandable.

Plus we had to move my sister's stuff to Madison into her new apartment with her husband-to-be and their friend Joe. So that was an adventure.

My life seems to be changing so quickly. In the next month I will have moved back into my parents' house, my sister will be married and living in Madison, and I will be a super senior in college, and if things happen to work out, I'll be moving out of my parents' house into a new apartment.

That's about all I have for now. Gotta go do more unpacking.

Peace.

Molly

Seems as though I've been slipping off the blog wagon. Could be because my life isn't exactly very exciting these days. I auditioned for SNC Music Theatre's production of "Joseph" and was cast as one of the wives of the brothers. So I have that to look forward to for the summer. I want to live next to water someday. I was driving down Riverside Drive coming back from the call back for Joseph yesterday and the sun was setting over the Fox River. It was so beautiful, so peaceful. It would be so wonderful to see that every night from the rear window of the house that I live in. I hung out with two of my best friends in the entire world at Communiversity Park this afternoon. We had the strange realization that we've now been friends for 10 years. We also decided that we're going to go to our 5 year high school reunion as Sex and the City. Because it's so fitting. I'm Carrie, I guess. But we decided that Lauren and I are interchangeable Carrie and Charl

We. Want. Attention.

These thoughts are fresh in my mind and I need to write them down before they evaporate. Very recently I've been thinking about how social media has affected us as a whole, and myself personally. We post things that we hope people will notice. We live for how many "likes" that over-share of a status we posted will get, or how many people will Retweet that witty, completely original post about Jennifer Lawrence's tumble at the Oscars, or your super funny joke about the blackout at the Superbowl. Surely, no one else's post was as original as yours. There are even pages entirely dedicated to do nothing but post pictures for no apparent reason with the caption, "How many likes for this poor woman suffering from menstrual cramps? 1 Like = 1 Prayer."  Come on, people. We want people to like us. To notice us. We. Want. Attention. That's all social media is, really. Your Facebook timeline is one giant plea to your friends to notice you. You don&#

Job hunting is a funny thing.

I decided it was about time I updated the few of you who read these posts about how my life has been since I moved to Chicago. First of all - job hunting is a funny thing. You put in a hundred million applications to a hundred million stores, restaurants, hotels, even dog walking companies. You do it online, you do it in person, you do it....doggy style? That was way funnier in my head. I was worried sick that I wouldn't find a job and that I would slowly become the poorest person on the planet and have to live on subway cars that smell like pee and eat rats that I caught with my bare hands.  But when Jade and I got off the train on our first excursion into downtown Chicago, I saw a Bed Bath & Beyond literally right in front of me, and with my luck, they had a table full of applications and a sign that said "Join our team! Turn in an application and get an immediate interview." Well I did, and I was really hopeful for that job, but I never heard back from them.
