Categories: How's your 2007's been?
Mine had some ups and downs, my car got broken into 6 times, I had my childhood photos stolen, I went through emotional hell trying to keep an ex in my life as a friend because she was worth holding on to. I ran out of money, I got knocked out in the final of several competitions and didn't manage to get an agent. I had a TV executive have to be introduced to me 4 times at the same party a few hours after she'd seen me perform because as far as she was concerned I was totally unmemorable. I got led on by several people and gave up on looking for love. My parents moved out of the house that I was born in, and I finally had to grow up and fend for myself. I suffered permanent nerve damage and now have lost skin sensation on about 5% of my body. I had some friends and co-workers die and was there for friends who were going through some really horrible stuff. Two close friends were diagnosed with degenerative diseases, and one had a fairly serious AIDS scare.
But,
I started making a living doing the thing I love the most, I got good reviews and more interest than ever from the media, I grew as a person and finally became comfortable in my own skin. I returned to the Edinburgh festival and cemented my reputation as the festivals biggest blag-slag managing to achieve an incredible amount through networking and hard work. I wrote stuff for two of my heroes at opposite ends of art form, and got naked in front of 800 people. I ran my own successful gig and built a fan base gaining a number of superfans who travel to see me, and I wrote and performed my own one hour show to 60 people who'd all paid to see me, which was pick of the day in the metro and the journo from the Guardian wanted me to let him know when I'm in London so he can watch me and put me as his pick of the day too. I finished changing who I am to suit others and realised that I've changed me to make me happy and that means I can change the world. And then I found Rosanne, a woman who I love and who loves me and who I miss whenever I'm not around her.
So what does 2008 hold? More success, more of everything, more love more happiness and more weird and wonderful things happening to me. I don't know what 2008 Holds really, but I know one thing, this is where it starts to get really interesting!
