Don't make me use my handbag!

If you still read this... I'm impressed!
Well, I guess it's about time for an update. Whether or not this blog is dead, I'm undecided. We'll have to wait and see. But this counts as a post.
How's it all going in Samland? Well, I just finished High School Musical, which was incredibly fun and very exhausting. It was wonderful having a lead role (and having my face plastered around town, having to sign autographs for the kiddies, having my very own stalker, etc), and it really inspired me. I really want to get (back?) into acting. I'm considering getting an agent and everything. The only hard part is doing it while having a full time job - especially in law. It was hard enough doing this show - working 8:30 to 6, then performing from 6 to 10, for two and a half weeks (not counting the rehearsals). It took more out of me than I thought it would.
Work itself is going well. Everyone's tired and stressed about the big trial (starts in a week), which I'm not too involved in (which I feel a bit bad about - but I don't exactly want to be working weekends!), but you carry the stress of your environment with you. I've been given a lot of responsibilities at work, and while I'm able to handle them, it's quite a bit of pressure.
Which affects other areas of my life, such as my faith. It's been too long since I've been to church - months, actually. Brendan and I have a church date tomorrow, so that'll be refreshing. I just haven't had the time, inclination, or energy. But in spite of all the false idols I put up (or perhaps 'distractions' is as appropriate a term), there's still a part of me that longs for God, which I am thankful for. It means that I wouldn't be happy if I ever walked away completely. So, things are quite hard for me here - at least, more so than usual - particularly with a distinct lack of like-minded people around.
I guess the only other news is that I now have a lady in my life. But I won't post about her here, that's not proper! But I'm happy, so that should be enough.
Hopefully, with the show over, I'll get back into the swing of things, and get back on top of everything. But then, I've never been one to have a calm, easy life...
Oh yeah, and I'm 25 now. Had a great party a fortnight ago - really enjoyed it, a lot of people came (from all sorts of places and groups, it was fantastic).
'Til next time!
