My Apologies

I have to come clean.

I haven't updated this blog in awhile because I wasn't ready to publicly admit something shameful. I've finally resigned myself to my misdeed, and I'm ready to shout it from the mountaintops! Or, inform the three of you that still check this site periodically between Facebook and your work email.

I've moved to Branson, Missouri.

Sigh. I know. WTF, right? Now for damage control.

I moved here because my boyfriend's band got a great gig. I met him on the ship, and amazingly, we still like each other. I figured it was worth pursuing a future with the one person I didn't want to strangle after spending a significant amount of time with. So far, so good.

I know I'm not shocking anyone by saying that Branson is weird. I spend as little time there as possible, only venturing in to see the boy's show once a week. Other than that, I head north to Springfield six days a week to work and perform.

Here's the crazy thing: I moved to BFE to find an improv theater I love performing at, and a steady gig on TV.

I work at a new TV station as an on-air personality. Basically I'm a Midwestern (or southern, depending on your taste) VJ. So far, it's been pretty fun. Here are some examples of some vignettes I've done in the past couple weeks:

Events Vignette

Silly stuff under the guise of a big girl, corporate job. I wear closed toes shoes at least twice a week now.

On Friday and Saturday nights, I get to perform at The Skinny Improv. I cannot believe this place is here. The performers are truly talented, and so much fun to play with. I did a piece on The Skinny for the TV station. This was my first attempt at a vignette without direction, so cut me some slack! Golly.

So, this is my new life, in a nutshell. It's not that bad.
