Creativity? CHECK! Insanity? CHECK!
Life has been a whole additional bucket of INSANE for the past few weeks.
My web work is plentiful...and preparations for taking BECOMING BRITNEY to New York are crushingly stressful and tedious sometimes. So far, we're meeting our deadlines and we're on track. We start rehearsals Monday. That's exciting, but also means I have to actually FINISH THE SCRIPT by Monday...!!!
Oy...
I'm excited about spending nearly a month living in the East Village. I'm also really eager to see the show in front of an audience that doesn't know us.
My transition is still moving along. I'm presenting more and more definitively as myself all the time and it just doesn't seem as big a deal anymore. I don't know if Victoria's death was a kick in the ass...or if I'm just getting bored with feeling insecure. Probably a little of both. I'm simply too busy to have time for hand-wringing. Plus I have SO much love and support and HELP from those around me. I would be nowhere with my hair and makeup without my dearheart Karie Bennett who owns Atelier SalonSpa at Santana Row.
Changing gender has indeed been (and will continue to be) a massive challenge...but I have to admit it's been less painful than I thought it would be. There are those crystalline moments of pure happiness...like a door standing open and a gorgeous cool breeze enveloping me. Finally.
I'm desperate to get my name change paperwork going. It just takes a lot of time...and time simply ain't something I have to spare these days. My goal is to have my name change done by the end of September. Then I won't have to be freaked when I have to show my license or credit card with the name David on it. It will help a LOT...!!
And even writing "David" is starting to seem weird to me. I sometimes sit and think about who I was and whether or not I have left parts of me behind (no jokes please, I haven't even had surgery YET)...and if I have, were they the negative, anxiety-filled parts...or did I lose some other essence too. The consensus from folks around me seems to be that I'm the same. Many are, in fact, surprised at how "the same" I am. I do feel basically the same...except for all the screeching turmoil that I became used to living with as part of my mindscape.
Jettisoning that crap has GOT to be a step in the right direction...!!
We will announce our 5 performance dates on Monday for the world premiere of BECOMING BRITNEY in New York City. How odd to even say that. My life is full of blessings…!!
Stay tuned...
