So while I was at a low I was doubting my ability as an actor. I've decided to get over this. I know have another goal. I need to get in shape because not only do I want to run a marathon, I am finally going to stop being a chicken. I am going to take a big leap and start auditioning up North.
I've auditioned several times at the Riverside and haven't been cast. I've allowed that to doubt my abilities. I've been cast in several shows right? Including up at the Lazy Susan. Clearly I can't be that untalented. After all with being an actor, singer, or dancer there's a lot more doors being shut then opened right?
So I need to get over this. I'm also thinking about taking voice lessons. I don't know how to read music, which is a bad thing if you do musical theater. I know my Grandma Grace is probably rolling in her grave knowing this fact about myself. Curse seven year old Megan who quit piano lessons because she wanted to watch "The Brady Bunch" instead. Curse 17 year old Megan who didn't pay attention in choir. Sheesh.
I also need to take dance classes again. I used to be a pretty good dancer. Then like a stupid teenager I quit dancing. Well I guess I didn't quit dancing then because instead of ballet and jazz I danced traditional Mexican Folk dancing. I wish I had just continued on with dance.
Maybe I should get a part time job. This could turn out to be expensive. Oy!

You go, gurl! You can do anything you set your mind to.
As long as I don't have to hold Lex, I'm happy to babysit while you gallivant around kicking ass and taking names.
You did just fine holding him. He's pretty solid. Look David hasn't injured him and he's barely able to walk without hurting himself.
OK. I know you're over it but I just read the post. It is unacceptable to doubt your ability because of friggin' Riverside! As a theatre prof once said to me...."Dinner theatre isn't about art...It's about roast beef!"
