And thinking about the amount of LIFE I've packed into the past two years... was boggling. The house 'short-sale', the 1st apartment since my 20's, a "management consulting" job that's way cooler than I had ever thought possible. It's been 2 years of working hard, and happily - some of that from home! I'm still playing in a rockin' band every week from February thru November. I reworked my on-line dating profile mid-2011, and actually MET SOMEONE at the end of that year, and surprisingly not only dated her, but agreed to become ENGAGED - a place where THIS man would "never" go again... [only to have that door slammed in my face before vows could be exchanged (thankfully) - a topic for another day, no doubt]
But... it was a good experience, and I learned a lot about myself, the world we live in, and that there is at least one woman who was into me, and I into her - so there's hope... (am I hopeless, or what!) that there might be ANOTHER someone who's even more awesome.
The screenwriter's conference & pitchfest in London last October - successfully pitching a sit-com that had been written 2 years before as a feature motion picture script, meeting new colleagues & friends on the other side of the Atlantic - was the icing on the cake... a wink at validation... and the creative highpoint in a frenetically eventful year. But now, I have to FOLLOW-THROUGH on that commitment, and deliver a series treatment, a pilot, and 1 episode script. Yikes!!
So I'm sitting in the beer garden at Folklife, happy I'm not a Monsanto GMO, and realizing I need to *be* somewhere else. I checked Meetup.com, and found a dancing 'mega party' in Kirkland later that evening. It was then that I came up with my nametag for the evening:
So... here we go again
