-October. You sweet sassy month you. I just can't get enough of your sweet fall breeze and your beautiful leaves. I'd date you if that was an option.
-All my amazing thoughtful friends helping me celebrate my birthday. I got to do everything I wanted. :) Go to brunch*, spend some solo time, have friends come over and just chat and hang, watch The Leftovers, and I got some homemade ice cream that was the BOMB.COM! Thank you again and again and again, Roomie! I'd make sweet love to it if that was an option.
-Ben. Holy shit he's just the sweetest thing ever. He never fails to impress me. He's also been getting funnier and funnier. Keep it up, Ben! You're a champion, Ben! Way to be the best. I love you.
-#CloneClub. Yes I'm still geeking out over the show. I started my own twitter account (@cloneclubmpls) and it's been a great outlet for me to express my love for the show with like minded people. Plus I've been able to share my love for Gifs there too. :) Also Heather, a fellow #cloneclubber, coworker, and friend has made my dream of making clones come true. Backstage photoshoots? Yes please! Here are a couple of the best ones:
-Hannah and Josh. Those two are so amazing. Their wedding is next week and I could not be more excited about it! Hannah told me (unofficially) that I'm her maid of honor and I am so incredibly honored. I'm giving a speech, which I'm trying not to freak out about (But I'm totally FREAKING OUT! It's fine I'm fine.) I've written it already and I think my idea will go over well and will hopefully keep everyone engaged. It's short and to the point.
-Last night I had a really fantastic improv show. I felt really strong about my character choices, I had some solid space work, and above all I wasn't at all in my head. I found myself just playing the game. I also did some musical improv, which a lot of the time I panic so much about trying to rhyme. I now realize that I don't need to and in fact if I can make it a game like I'm gonna rhyme it gets a pop too. Also last night's crowd had the best suggestions for emotions. I was loosing my shit in the best possible way.
*Went to French Meadow with Ben and when we got to the register we had to make small talk for a bit because we had to wait for a table number. Usually small talk is Ben's area of expertise but for some reason I was in the forefront on this one. The guy behind the counter was super nice and we started talking about how it was my birthday and where I worked and he told me his boyfriend was a drag queen and wanted to see more theater. I happened to have some comps in my pocket so I gave it to him and then he gave us half off our meal. It was a good reminder for me of the power of connection even on such a simple level with small talk. You just never know.
