How long have you been doing improv and were you...
I signed up for my school’s improv class at the urging of my ex-girlfriend & friend, who was/is an accomplished improvisor. That class started in September 2008. Back then, I was really shy & it was hugely taxing for me to participate in that class, even though I enjoyed it for the most part. I used to show up late to class on purpose so the teacher wouldn’t let me be in...

why I play so much online Scrabble:
It numbs my brain. This makes me less nervous/scared/anxious about whatever I’m stressing over. (I used to play about an hour of Scrabble before every show just to clear my head & get my mind off the ongoing mental list of “ways this night could go horribly, horribly wrong.” Now I don’t get that nervous, usually, thank god.)
Also - & this is weird, I’ll...

the question of the week:
Should I go on a date with this dude, even though I’m scared & not even 100% sure I’m interested in him or ready to be in a relationship right now?

All I want to do right now is drink coffee, write, listen to jazz radio, make collages, & STAY UP ALL FUCKING NIGHT!

Watchme & Max performing Should’ve Known Better at his show at Aspetta last night
My birthday isn’t for THREE MONTHS but I’ve spent the past two hours making pages of notes about what I might want to do to celebrate turning nineteen. (I’m a weirdo!)
Some selections from the loooong list of possible ideas:
-streamed musical performance
-get dressed up & do a photoshoot w/ friends
-childhood retrospective decor w/ home videos, old photos, etc.
-a 19+...

The internet is curious tonight.

For your trouble, & so this post isn’t incredibly boring, I’ll link you to this video of me ending my relationship on Facebook last year, as filmed by Kaiya, who witnessed the whole sorry...

The point of it is not to state Everything I’m Grateful For In My Entire Life, but to state Everything I’m Grateful For At That Exact Moment. You’ll notice that in my first gratitude vlog, I said I was grateful for my brother because I’d JUST been interacting with him, & for my parents because, at that moment, I was thinking about how accepting they were of my...

on songwriting & sanity
I haven’t written a song since December 23rd (Countdown). If I don’t write any in the next few days, then January 2011 will be the first songwriting-free month of my life since August 2009.
Interestingly, my head feels alarmingly clear. Usually, when it’s been a while since I’ve written a song, I accumulate bits of melody & lyric until my brain is a soupy cacophony of...

I loved your gratitude out loud vlog! I will happily join your moment of gratitude! And I will happily continue to use an excessive amount of exclamation points!
But really, yes to slam poetry (please post some). And yes, to your shameless launch party. If I weren't on the other side of the world I would totally be there. I'm sure you will look...
