this post is mostly in reply to london, but it started to get pretty extensive so i decided to just put it in a post.

ok, so pretty much expounding on the few "things" that i mentioned vaguely in a previous post:

my facebook status says i'm "in a relationship". that was one of the vague things i referenced in a previous post. anyway, i'm dating a guy that i met working on big river (he was in the cast). it's not like casual, but it's not necessarily "serious" either. i put in a relationship because we're both seeing just eachother right now, to see if the mutual interest between us might lead to a deeper relationship, or if we'll be better as friends. so we're dating. not courting, just dating.

my plan for the next few years isnt completely set, but i'll be doing mostly school and theatre stuff. hopefully alot more theatre stuff. i'd like to get involved in ministry again too.. a friend asked me if i'd be interested in helping lead worship at a church out towards fort worth. despite the drive, i'm really really interested and hope that works out and i can start doing that. i'm going to check out northstar next week and i have a feeling that might be the right place to get planted. if that's the case it'll be more likely that i'll be getting an apartment out in that direction. i'm in the plano-dallas area nearly every day or night as it is, and the drive is a tough one. it's a tough call though whether it'll be better for me to get an apartment and take on the bills and slow down my savings and be in the middle of everything or to just suck it up and drive an hour and keep the job i have now. i've been meaning to get my parents' advisement on the situation but havent really had the opportunity (no time, with all this driving :p) so i'll have to get back to you on that. alot depends on them as well, if they'll be willing to continue paying for my school and car if i move out. if not, then it's really not a possibility.
as for school, that's the most structured part of my plan right now. I'm going to get an associates in theatre at collin county, take advantage of every opportunity there that i possibly can, and then finish a bachelors in business at UNT. so that's looking at 4 or 5 years to get to the end of those two degrees. more than i would like, but then again most 18-year-olds find themselves looking at 4 or 5 years to go for just a BA so i think i could do worse. and i can then take those couple of years i'm at UNT taking business classes and be involved at the theatre at the same time, so i still get to experience that as well even though i wont persay be studying theatre there, most likely. these plans are subject to change and absolutely i intend to follow the Lord whole-heartedly if He tells me in the middle of next year to pick up and move myself to Nebraska, but that doesn't seem likely so for now, this is the plan.

Mama's party is a little event that alot of people on the musical theatre scene tend to get involved in... it's basically monday nights Amy Stevenson (Mama) hosts entertainment at a little joint in Dallas called Bill's Hideaway. there are usually 3-5 performers featured in a night. she loves to find fresh talent so it's a good place for a new singer/performer to get his or her foot in the door and like i said alot of people on the musical theatre people are there so it's a good place to meet some cool people. most people that come already have some kind of connection that got them there (like me, i went because jon invited me to come watch him sing).. or theyre gay...

any further questions?
