Oh my G!!! My prayers have been answered. Terry wants me to be his clerical this summer so badly, he offered me my room for free for the entire summer plus 30-40 hours of work/week! I'm ecstatic. This solves all my problems. I will be able to work lots of hours doing thing I like to do, make lots of money, be able to work my speedway job, be able to do 2 shows, and live on campus (for free!!!!) without having to be an RA. Terry told made my Valentine's Day a happy one! I really didn't want to be a summer RA. PLUS, I get to stay in my own room, so I won't have to move! Things couldn't be better!
This is why networking is SSOOO important!! I'm proud of me!

Oh. My. G.
Oh my G. I was just visiting David Lundholm's new website. He is someone I used to work with at Six Flags Great America and he has recently gone freelance. Anyway, I was on his site, and stumbled upon these videos.
The first is his compilations of Night-Time Parades that he created costumes for. The beginning of the video is the nighttime parade of my last year at Six Flags. In the video, I am playing Petunia Pig.
The second is of one of their Fright Fest shows, Dead Man's Party. I was not in this particular show but it was very very similar to a show I was in my last year at Six Flags, Welcome to My Nightmare, and has a lot of the same songs.
I'm not able to save the and upload the videos onto here without paying $30 but they are located at davidlundholm.com.
Watching these videos made my heart thump and ache! I NEED to be back there. I need to be back in my element! I miss it so badly. My two years at Six Flags were the best two summers of my life! I miss Illinois and I miss performing professionally. This gives me more driving motivation to lose the weight, graduate, and get back down to Chicago and live my life as a performer.
I had an "a-ha!" moment, as Oprah would put it, a couple weeks ago. It was before I got my financial aid check and was really struggling and scrapped for cash. Out of nowhere I thought to myself "I can do this. If being a performer means living paycheck-to-paycheck and having to budget meticulously just to pay my rent, I can do this. I would rather perform and struggle financially, than have the best, most prestigious corporate position in the world." That is how you know I am meant to be a performer.
