blog: the starting post

So I decided to start a blog, hehe.  I don’t really have much to say but I guess I better put something here to start things off!  I haven’t been doing much the last few days, it’s been pretty rainy so I’ve been tucked away inside playing computer games.

I got an email back from the Black Stump people, and they’re inviting me back this year, yay!  I do so love to Stump!  The theme for 2009 is “Imagine” so I am going to have a lot of fun with that.

I am basically going to do what I call a “girl on a chair” show which is basically just me chilling out with the audience and doing some poems.  One year I brought a 3-legged stool that I borrowed from my sister, which was visually kinda cool, so I might look around for a particular chair to decorate up for the show.   Also I will probably write some new material… I always say that but it’s so hard to make myself sit down and write for any length of time, haha.

Last year I did a bit of a “scripted” show because the theme was “Life”, and I wrote about a girl who’s just died waiting around in Limbo after the funeral and reflecting on her life.  I felt it would be a good contrast, but it didn’t really go over too well… probably because it was a bit morbid and depressing!  Plus, my stage makeup looked pretty freakin’ creepy, which I didn’t realize until after I got the photos back, haha.  So this year I think it will be all rainbows and fairy floss… hey, now there’s a prop idea!!  :D
