Waldo
So, on Thursday of last week I absent-mindedly made my facebook status, "Riley McIlveen really wants a damn puppy," not thinking anything about it. It just so happened that 2 days later I woke up to this little critter meandering around my kitchen. He has now been living with my housemates and I for the last 4 days while we search for a home for this basement pooping, wall peeing, leg humping, ball having, people walking little tyrant. We named him Waldo, and I'm glad we found him.
Re-cap
I'm trying desperately hard to conquer the commitment a blog takes. I find myself constantly walking through my day to day life when a random thought jumps in my head such as:
1. I wonder if Urban Outfitters has a special portion of their interview process where they make sure the employee they are hiring is going to be completely inattentive and unapproachable.
2. I just discovered a new show is coming out called "Sexting in America." As if MTV wasn't satisfied with their already outstanding line-up of nightly programs...
3. I have realized an abnormally large pet peeve of mine is when people spit their gum into water fountains.
After just writing these down I see why the better option would be just to keep these thoughts in my head. I just spent the last week in Chicago auditioning for 4 different grad school programs. The entire process was truly a struggle. I found myself constantly questioning why I was in a field that can be so competitive and self-centered. In my opinion acting should by one-for-all and all-for-one..and all that schpiel. I found, however, that being completely in the center of the competitive mentality of the acting world, it caused me to reinforce my own beliefs about theatre, and reminded me that the reason I love it is for everything I wasn't seeing during the week. I believe there is a greater purpose for theatre somewhere else and now I'm just determined to find it. I was extremely proud of all my friends that were also there, however, and believe they will each accomplish great things.
Sincerity. Gross.
