When did I get boring?

A few years ago I was a theater nut. Not going to the theater, per say but being involved in every god damn show possible at one time. When I was working for the playwrights festival I was in three plays, backstage for another three and making costumes for two of them. Of course it was also during this time that I was trying desperately to find a way out of my seven year relationship and I’m big on distractions.

However after the festival was long over and my relationship crumbled to ashes I found I was addicted to theater and I kept up the backbreaking pace of it all. In fact it was during my Shakespeare binge and a one women show when I had a scary incident. During one of my Nannette performances an older guy was in the audience (this happens to be the same night I invited two of the guys I was dating – at the same time - to the same show, so as you can see I was burning everything at two ends then). Anyway this guy was so taken with me as Nanette that every time I ran into him he would tell me about my glowing aura and stupid stuff like that. One time I ran into him when I was out with Narrah and Karl and he was so forceful in giving me his number that Karl was stunned at his aggressiveness. Needless to say another friend of mine who worked at Shakbrah at the time had to have a talk with this gentleman about leaving me alone when he sees me.

I had forgotten all about this guy until I saw him the other day; he waved at me and all I could think was “crap, I’m by myself right now.” He didn’t come up to me or anything and I’ve never really felt threatened by him, but it’s just funny that you can have such a different life in just a few years.

Like the fact that I was dating two guys at the same time back them. When did I stop dating? For a while there it was like I couldn’t fight them all off. It’s funny because the guy who “won out” on that duel dating scene ended up being a complete ass and ended up dating another girl from another show I was in the same time I was dating him. I guess you could say I got what I gave on that one. Then I started like another guy who well … whatever I’m so over that story. Needless to say it brought back some stuff. Like when did I stop being so active?
