happy armistice day!

i really miss ireland. like really. i miss the weather and the buildings and the food and the bulmer's and sitting around watching oprah and going to shows at the granary and i miss irene and paula and liz and katie and well, everything. i miss the way it made me feel -- tiny and independent and amazing and scared and invincible and alone.

i found out that a 10-min. play of mine made it into the undergrad 10-min. play festival in february and i'm psyched, but i want a director who understands what it's like to be cut off from everything familiar for 6 months. i want a director who's studied abroad, basically, since my play takes place after this guy gets back from studying in germany, but hardly anyone in the theatre dept. has! it's so sad. we're all so focused on our own little paths (auditions, callbacks, mainstages -- oh my!). i'm sad to be back in that myself. and goddamn, i miss cork.

Oh Leslie, you missing Cork makes me excited to go. And really really really nervous. I've got my plane ticket now...eek!

Congrats on getting your play in by the way!

as snooty as this sounds, nobody understands. even people who also studied abroad-- like i don't fully understand why you miss Cork & you don't fully understand why I miss Iceland. And I think that comes from it being one's own thing and no one else's. but it still sucks.

yeah, homesickness is really horrible, especially when it's not for your actual home and for a different place and time that you can't ever really go back to. bah. exile is very interesting, methinks...

also, whyyy don't you write in your livejournal more?? i always love reading what you have to say.
