Actually, that's a lie. It's pretty cloudy and cold out right now... I think it's going to rain...
Wait wait wait. Am I really talking (coughtypingcough) about the weather?! Wow. Surely I have something more interesting to talk about...

Well this is embarrassing. Here I am creating a blog and I have nothing to say. At least, not at this very moment. Right now I happen to be sitting in my apartment. Bored. Hence the whole blog making thing. But I now realize that I should probably actually have something to blog about in a blog, right? Right...
I guess I'll just introduce myself a bit and let you all (HA you all. I'm under the delusion that multiple people are going to actually read this) know why the heck I'm here.
Ahem.
If you looked up the word "dreamer" in the dictionary, you would probably see a picture of me. I'm a dreamer in every sense of the word. I'm constantly dreaming, whether I'm awake or asleep (and yes, I do often remember the dreams I have when I'm sleeping, and let me tell you, they're very strange). I have big dreams about my future and the life I could have, and I day dream when I'm bored (which is quite often). I'm pretty much dreaming every second of every day (and night). I guess you could say I have my head in the clouds, but hey, the view is pretty cool from up here.
Now let's talk about the title of this blog. Someone out there might recognize "The Actor's Nightmare" as the title of a Christopher Durang play. You see, I recently declared my new major (oh yes, I'm in college, did I mention that?) to be Theatre, and "The Actor's Nightmare" was the very first play I was in. In fact, it just closed yesterday. Hence my boredom/lack of things to do/talk about at the moment.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the play, it's about a man who somehow ends up on the set of a play and is forced to fill in for the lead, who has been in a car accident. Although I didn't play the man, George (I'm a girl... so that would be difficult...), I still felt like anyone could relate to the feeling of being thrust into something unexpected. Life just loves to throw curve balls like that at us, doesn't it? And since I'm new to this whole Theatre thing (I did some acting in high school and elementary school, but never any real plays) I definitely am dealing with that feeling of being out of place/completely clueless. So I decided to name my blog that because it kind of describes the beginning of this crazy adventure I'm about to embark on.
Which brings me to why the heck I'm writing this. Here's the plan:
1) Jump head first into my new major
2) Convince my family that I know what I'm doing with my life (they weren't too thrilled with the whole "I'M GONNA BE AN ACTOR!" declaration...)
3) Get to the level where people in the department actually want me in their plays
4) Become famous (or at least successful enough to buy a nice house someday)
5) Live happily ever after
...Alright, so that's a pretty ambitious goal, right? And I know, I know, like 90% of actors never actually end up getting any real work. But that's not gonna be me! No way, nuh uh. So I figured, why not chronicle my journey from average joe to... not-so-average joe? People might find it interesting... maybe? And it might be a good way to keep me motivated.
Now I know what you're thinking. I'm just another delusional young girl with no grasp on reality. Well... okay, that's slightly true. Reality is pretty boring sometimes though, isn't it? And maybe this isn't realistic. But you know what? I don't want to get to the end of my life and ask "What if?" I'm young, I'm single, I'm in college, if there's ever a time to take that leap, now would be it. I might as well try, right? And besides, what have I got to lose?
So there you go. That pretty much sums up why I'm on this site. I can definitely promise that I'll have something more interesting to talk about soon... I won't always post about the weather.
...I'm gonna go eat a bagel.
