I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a West Coast girl through and through. I love the outdoors, love life, and am falling freely and loving it. I love both being spontaneous and planning the shit out of things. I can be diametrically opposite from day to day. I love being in a crowd and being totally alone. I am outgoing and solitary. I love people and I love books and I love coffee and I love tea. Some days I am flying and some days I walk slowly and enjoy the view or chill in a big comfy couch. I am passionate about theatre, and consider it my calling. My primary interest is directing plays, but I also love dramaturgy, applied theatre, theatrical criticism, theatre history and most things theatre-based. I don't like bad theatre or wanky masturbatory theatre. If you don't know what that means, ask me. I work with children, whom I mostly love, but sometimes want to strangle. I love music, photography, movies, getting physical with yoga, biking, aerobics, hiking, snowboarding, swimming, dancing... and other stuff :) I am loving being in my 20's and doing random shit, having adventures, falling and picking myself up and dusting myself off... just being. Who knows how long I will be in Victoria... eventually I'll fly away, but for now I am exploring and enjoying the people/music/city/nature/theatre here and we'll see where the wind takes me.

The incredible lightness of being

I can't even begin to describe how much I love my new home. My new neighbourhood. My new environment... Dallas road is ridiculously beautiful. I ride my bike to work along this long stretch of a road ...
