I AM (ALMOST) A QUARTER CENTURY.

So this Wednesday is my birthday. It is Groundhog day. It is also Chinese New Years Eve! How about that. When I was growing up, I thought my Chinese zodiac was 'The Tiger'. I always thought this was very uncharacteristic of me, since the Tiger is described as a born leader, outgoing and a people-person. Years later, I discovered that since I was born before the Chinese New Year, I was technically born on the very tail-end of 1985, making me an Ox. The characteristics of an Oxen are typically obstinate, quick-tempered and motivated. And honestly, that is 100% closer to my personality than a 'born leader' or an 'outgoing personality'. THE MORE YOU KNOW.

So I'm kind of sort of having a mid-mid-quarter life crisis? Although it's a very calm one. It's more like, 'okay, I need to decide where I am going now. Do I go back to school for my Masters? Do I move to the US? Do I just focus on work with IATSE? Or do I just become a rolly derby girl / kung-fu disciple?' So many decisions. I'm sure I'll make up my mind.. someday?
Things have been good. Started work on 'Happy Days' at Stage West. Just finished work on 2 short film projects. Trying to get everything finalized for Alternative Fashion Week this year. Also very excited about a CERTAIN FILM being filmed in Toronto this Spring.. Silent Hill 2. ONE OF MY FAVOURITE GAMES. Oh yeah, joining my friend Sheila's softball team for the Spring, which will be fun! Hopefully I don't get beaned in the forward and die.
Have you been reading Kat's new blog Drawn and Devoured? YOU SHOULD. It's great. And me and Trevor are going to go on a dinner date with Kat in the next few weeks! WHEEEE.
Anyway, to summarize - Birthday, questions, theatre, film, nerdity, softball, food.
P.S. Thanks to all who came out to the art show at the Steamwhistle gallery this past month. <3
