oh dear lord…
so, i haven’t been updating. however, i am still doing NoJoMo. i’ve been writing in a small book, keeping tabs of how i feel. at some point i’ll enter them all in here. at some point…
what’s going on with me? um… i started my new job (the one i’m doing while i’m on break from the opera). its an electronics store called Fry’s Electronics (imagine that…). its okay i guess. i make 12/hr, and i mostly stand around all day and answer questions about… wait for it… software. i don’t know much about some of this stuff, but i’ve been coming home everyday and looking up things about the products that i had questions on that day. the hardest part is knowing where everything is, or how to search for it. its slowly coming together.
um… what else. i don’t remember if i wrote about it in here or not. a few weeks ago i was asked to do a second audition for the Maestro for the Seattle Symphony. i went and sang and felt i did really well… however he didn’t like the selection i gave him for my second choice, so he only had me sing the one. which was sad. anyway, i was worried about that…
well, a few days ago (last week actually) i was offered a role in a small songspiel they’re doing next June. i don’t know the pay or anything, but its a good first step to singing with the Seattle Symphony on a regular basis. hopefully i’ll get a chance to sing for him again and show him more songs that he could hire me for. we’ll see.
anyway… not much else going on. i get up, i work, i come home, my dad yells at me for a variety of things (if he’s not drunk) then i go to bed and start all over again. i remember (in three days) why i hate regular jobs. they kill my soul. i don’t know why i hurts me so much to do a nine-to-five job. i guess i prefer something more artistic. i don’t know if its absolutely needed, but it sure helps.
um… that’s about it. no idea what else to say.
i do have something that has been a reoccuring theme in my little written thing. it has to do with the fact that i’m not going to New York this year for auditions. i’m missing out on quite a bit… but i’ll talk about that later.
– noah
p.s. (yes i have one this time) i’ve paid off 4 bills. paid off i’m very happy about that. i can now start focusing on my student loans.
p.p.s. something very good is happening… its taken time for me realize whats going on, and hopefully soon i’ll feel that i can talk about it on here.
It’s sad that you can’t just share everything that happens on here…but I understand you not wanting to jinx yourself. Sounds like things don’t suck! Like…they’re on an upward swing?? Yay for that! Happy Thanksgiving!! RYN: It’s the things that are MISSING from the list that I’m more concerned with. But thanks for making me feel better about it đŸ™‚

Hmm…very intrigued with the p.p.s… lol. From my standpoint, the advantage of 9-5 jobs is no weekends and no holidays…all of which I work. Lol. I hated them as well, though. From my experience working them (ie: the pharmacy), I never felt like I was doing much for anyone. I mean, YEAY, I helped them find their deodorant, someone give me a medal!! But it helped pay for school and

Fry’s is a kickass place!!!!! Love shopping there đŸ™‚ but i understand…. working a 9-5 isnt the greatest…. but it pays the bills and allows me to have $$$ in my pocket.. not allowed to complain much… ” i remember (in three days) why i hate regular jobs. they kill my soul.” that’s… damn perfect.. exactly how I feel at times!!! Hope you had a happy thanksgiving đŸ™‚

My heart just got a little sad, reading that you’re not coming to the City this year (ohh, the city…. and Oakland is just a collection of houses…) and we cannot have another opera date. I will get over the sads eventually.

yes, yes. 9-5 is difficult. it is not always terrible, but sometimes it feels extremely stifling. congrats on your new job. it sounds like you’re really taking it seriously and being proactive. đŸ™‚
