CHANGE OF PACE: An Introduction To My Apprenticeship
I’m going to change the pace of this particular tumblr. I originally started it to try to put down things from my past, tidbits, stories, etc from my past life as a model/actress/fucking etc etc. But I have a hard time actually sitting down and relating stories like that. I’m much better suited to those kind of things when I’ve been drinking with friends. Not when I’m trying to be clever sitting by myself in front of a computer screen.
So in change I’m going to document things that happen in my job. I originally hadn’t wanted to write about my job because of the potential of somehow ruining whatever it was that makes my job feel somehow pure and sacred. But then I was talking with my mentor and he said he wished he’d written down all the things that have happened throughout his career, from the little things (like grandma fights at wakes) to the bigger things (like a 350lb man breaking his prep room table then bursting his autopsy stitches and basically spilling himself all over the floor… and the new secretary). I’m pretty sure he wasn’t talking about writing it down blog-style, but that’s how I’m taking it. It IS a new age… and all that. Too many times have I wished I would have had a record of all the little and big things that I’ve lived through in my modeling/acting/singing career. I don’t want to make the same mistake with this career.
I want to be able to look back one day and see a record of all the families that I’ve help, and not just the big things, but the little things too. So that’s what this tumblr will become.
(To tell the truth, most of it will contain entirely embarrassing things on my behalf.)
