Cry Me a River

Lately I have needed a good cry. I have been on a romantic comedy frenzy trying to shove out all of this emotion. I don't know where it is coming from, but there is an abundance of it.

I watched a cute movie called "Penelope" last night. Cried like a baby.

Tonight I watched my ultimate "I have got to have a good cry" movie "Steel Magnolias." That one gets me every time. Deep, heaving sobs. It felt good.

I am chalking this emotional outpouring up to hormones. If it looks like it is taking permanent residence I will have to delve further into it.

I think too, that I miss having an outlet for emotional energy. I always liked performing. I haven't even thought about it in years.

I should finish all of the necessary classes for my degree by December, but I will still have to take 4 classes in order to actually graduate. I am thinking I will take a basic acting class. It wouldn't be for another year, but I am already looking forward to it. I love to be on stage.

I actually broached the subject with my husband, when I was still kicking around major ideas, of majoring in theater. He gave me a look which said "Honey I love you and will support you in whatever you want to do but you absolutely cannot major in theater."

I dropped the subject.

But I think I am going to look into some creative outlets having to do with performing. It is really the only "artistic" thing I am good at.

Meanwhile, I will watch romantic comedies and cry until I am tired.
