Hello-goodbyes.

Wow! I have been very neglectful of my blogging. I will begin by putting on the excuse that my summer has been one crazy whirlwind. In some ways I have been majorly uninspired to write, but after a certain Lucas Roberts came to my creative/mental rescue tonight, I have become greatly inspired to give my blog another go. And not so much in the lazy-once-every-three-months kind of way. So much has happened in this one summer, that I feel neglectful not to have shared. I will try to recount as much of it as I can in (more than one) posts on my blog.


To give an idea of what my summer has been like....

First, I started the summer off with graduating.


Then, I played one of my favorite roles I think I have ever acted in: Ado Annie in Oklahoma.




Next I spent a couple of weeks trekking around Italy and Greece. This picture was taken in the mountains in Delphi, Greece.


After that, was my senior trip to the beach... Which I have zero pictures from!


Then I returned to play Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz!




Next? Finishing up Oz and then moving to Natchitoches for big 'ole college. I cannot believe it's already here. In these next few weeks, I'm really going to work on using my blog for a creative outlet. Time to let the artistic juices really flow. I really hope you enjoy what I write and share. Please, leave comments, facebook me, email, just let me know you are reading this.

Yo! That picture from Greece is intense! I'm so jelly. Was it any kind of group-sponsored world-trekking, or was it of the solo, explore-as-you-go variety?

I'm so sorry I missed Oklahoma! I wanted to go to both yours and Alyssa's shows, and I couldn't make either. :/ And I know I said I was off to see the Wizard last Friday, but I showed up just a minute too late, and you guys were sold out! I'm not complaining--that's great, honestly! Glad you guys are getting that kind of reception. :) I pre-ordered for this Friday (tomorrow, whatever), and even most of those tickets were sold out, a week in advance, haha. I'm very excited.

I know it can be hard to keep up things like this without receiving an explosive response. I wouldn't look at it so much as a creative endeavor; I don't think one makes personal stride the way you want it by quantifying your thoughts to text. It can be a great form of release and confession that can't really be achieved elsewhere, and blogging can help organize your thoughts--however, I wouldn't really consider it flexing your artistic muscles. Maybe if you compounded the diary/journal thing with some fictional prosetry?
