i have the worst luck with electronics. my phone just bricked itself last week, so now once again i had to start all over again... and i forgot what's my imzy password. again i know i really should use lastpass... and maybe i should!
anyway, i got myself an audition for a play at the end of the month. it's a translated version of animal farm so that should be... politically relevant. lol. it'll be interesting, i haven't actually tried to be in a theatre production since... 2014. 0.o'
but preparing for the audition itself should be good practice. i've forgotten literally everything about warming ups etc. at the end of it all, i'm still self-conscious as hell, but theatre has been good at calibrating it (the self-consciousness). it's also been useful in proving another angle to approaching my writing, even if i've barely written anything. (but i did write fic 2 weeks ago! ) on that note, i have to figure out what to do for open mic tomorrow, which is also IWD-themed, which my friend is persistently needling me to go to. lol.
the funny thing is, things are coming to a head, between my public-facing interests, and my private-seeking self (which is also for personal, legal, and work reasons). another friend of mine was ribbing me a bit about the many segregated pseuds i have scattered across various platforms. on most days this is actually the way i prefer it, but not when i want validation, haha.
anyway! so that's a little of what i've been up to. i'm also picking up mandarin for both work and fandom reasons lmao. i think i'm gonna relax a little bit on which parts of my life gets shared where. life as a self-conscious narcissist, what utter nonsense.
