So I originally started this blog site as a means of posting my writing that I've been doing (plays, poems and such) but then realized after a playwriting class about copywriting that this was just asking for someone to steal my stuff. Then I neglected to write anything in it for the next few months because I never feel like I have anything interesting to say about myself... but then after compulsively reading a ton of blogs about people I knew in highschool, I decided to make my own.
So here it is....
Hey. I'm Madolyn. I am a pretty weird and socially awkward person unless you really get to know me. And even then I'm still those things, but you end up getting used to it. I'm one of those people who dreads going to parties and when I do get there I end up standing in the corner giving the thumbs up to people as they walk by and then thinking to myself "Thumbs up? Really Madolyn? Who does that?" Luckily, I have my boyfriend, Eric Smith, to tell me I'm cool and occasionally give me the thumbs up back. In that way, I'm pretty lucky. I also have two of our best friends who we spend most of our time with, Chelsea and Carl, who are weirdly like us too. We make a pretty good team, and have lately been planning how to survive the Zombie appocolypse (which we believe will be upon us soon). Carl will operate the gun, I will be the brains of the operation since I am reading the Zombie Survival Handbook, Chelsea will keep lookout and Eric... well... Eric will be the entertainment.
I am pretty big on writing. It is the one thing that I feel like I'm really good at. This is going to be a big summer for me because I am in the process of writing a piece that will go up at the Prism Theatre at ASU, which is what I've wanted ever since I first got to ASU. It is a dream come true, which means that I will be putting ridiculous amounts of pressure on myself to get it right. So if you call me and I'm not answering or you see me losing my hair, this is most likely the cause. And get this.... My show is going up... on Halloween. That's right. The holiday that I am way too obsessed with... things couldn't get much better. This is going to be my last semester at ASU, and I really want to write the best thing I ever have as my parting contribution to the theatre department.Wish me luck!
More to come soon!
