New Year, New Website....

New business cards, New Auditions,  New trip, New presents, New roommate...and probably even more news...

Can't believe it's 2011. I'll most likely still be writing December 2010 for the next couple of months. I was able to fly down with my sister to spend NYE in North Carolina with my family then a road trip with them to Florida. I can't express enough my love for Florida. The warmth, the palm trees, the sand, the smell, the odd tap water taste, the lizards, the large light up street signs, Disney World...Yesss. Since we've had family there way before I was born, we've gone every single year.

#1: New Website! After years of dreaming and scheming, rachelynprimm.com finally exists. Photos and Media will be uploaded soon, but I'm happy it's here. My brilliant artist sister, Rebecca Primm, designed the page. I was so proud of myself to figure out how to attach my blog as well as social networking links to the site.

#2: New business cards! The brilliant Rebecca Primm took the website design and tweaked it a bit. Can't wait to hand my first one out :)

#3: Auditions. This month is a big month for auditions. The theatres have come back from vacation, and one of them is the Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Company with which I was in the Mikado last year. Other theatres that I will be auditioning for include Light Opera Works, Circle Theatre, Jedlicka Performing Arts Center, and possibly Drury Lane (an equity theatre!).

#4: Roommate! A very fun art director named Jacquie will be staying in the Primm ladeez apartment. She'll be in my sister's room while Rebecca is in Charlotte working on two gigs until mid-February. She's very awesome, and a great fit. I'm excited for times to come.


Conversation of the day involving Jonathan my 12 y/o brother and me:
(Background: Jonathan has always wished our family would live in the same home together forever and ever...)
  
Jonathan:     "Why do you have to go back to Chicago? Why can't you stay here and live here with us like Rebecca?"

Me:             "There are more theatre opportunities there...plus Rebecca is only staying for a month...."

Jonathan:     "So, are you living there permanently?"

Me:             "For now..I don't know exactly how long, though."

Jonathan:     "Well, you are going to have to come back soon, though, because you don't have enough money."

Me:             "You are so encouraging."

Jonathan:     "Thank you. Is that a compliment?"


Poor guy. I'll miss him. :)
