Live For Tomorrow

So...all of a sudden, things seem to be looking up slightly. On both the romantic and professional fronts. I've now exchanged 2 letters with a guy. Yes, actual physical snail mail letters...it's kinda romantic and old fashioned in a way. He has no phone or computer, so snail mail it is. Yeah. I curse the U.S. Army Reserves pretty much on a daily basis. It's pretty cute how we met...we were in a play together in college a few years ago. Almost right away, I developed a little crush and tried to flirt with him. Alas, he had just started dating someone else and didn't really notice, and then I started dating someone else in the cast after the show was over. Fast forward to this past June...we're both single and pursuing our respective crazy dreams...for him, it's the music industry, for me, it's the musical theater world. I post something about one of my auditions on facebook - he reads it and facebook IM's me about it. We start chatting, and next thing you know, I'm meeting up with him in the city for a date. I won't spill every little detail, but it went VERY well. Turns out we're extremely compatible on many levels. Sadly, we went on our date 2 days before he left to go to basic training. I give my address, thinking "yeah, right, he's never gonna write me." He totally surprised me and has written to me twice now. We shall see what happens.

Anyways...on the professional front...I got the Penny Saver in the mail and I'm combing throught the Help Wanted section (which is totally slim pickings, by the way) and I came across an ad for a dance teacher needed for a new dance studio opening in my area. I called the number and left a message for them to call me back around 1 this afternoon. I drove myself crazy for a few hours waiting for a return phone call. It finally came around 8:30pm. The girl I talked to sounded really nice - we set up an interview for this Friday and I e-mailed her my resume and a brief history of my dance background. Yay! My first interview since being unemployed. Hopefully this will be a full-time job. If not, it should at least be something fun to do until I find a "real" job. Ok, can't get ahead of myself I hafta actually get the job first. But yeah, I'm psyched. I've been dying to get back into dance again and to do something artsy and creative...it's been about a year since I've taken a class and 3 months since my last theater show. Keep your fingers crossed! I love having things to look forward to...that's what gives life meaning. Letters, interviews, and a trip to Binghamton where I will see Kellie & Meghan...yay!
