Decide to End Sexual Violence

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

sexual violence affects one in three women and one in nine men.
i'm that woman.

If anyone is in the LA area, the Vagina Monolouges are this friday and sat at USC. Comment if you want more information!

So I've been wanting to post this for awhile but it takes Murray State AGES to update their pages but here it is kiddos. I'm am officially on the front page of the Murray State News because of my wonderful role in the Vagina Monologues. I figured all of you would be excited about this. In Western Kentucky the word Vagina graced the front page of our local newspaper, and along with that we had three articles written about our performance. One in this weeks issue and two in last weeks...check'm both out! Anyways on to the wonderful picture of me being "The Woman Who Loved to Make Vaginas Happy!"

thought i'd pass this sad news along ...

Hey ladies!

I just recently joined, when I was meandering through livejournal and I decided to look up Vagina Monologues....long story short I ran across this AMAZING community.

So newayz if any of you are in the Western Kentucky area Murray State University is having our own VDay Monologues. This is a MASSIVE step for MSU because we're are stuck in the midst of the bible belt. It's ridiculous. Every Wednesday on the way to class a local Christian group (or cult whatever you would like to use) attacks everyone with flyers promising cash to attend a meeting for the first time. It's crazy! I've never in my life been beat over the head multiple times with Jesus. I like the guy but damn...newayz off of my soapbox...

Here's the information...I hope I see you all there...(if possible!)


BTW: I'm playing the Woman Who Loved Vaginas...yaa for moaning on stage!

I'll be performing in "They beat the girl out of my boy... or so they tried."

Despite the last minute nature of this V-Day season, things are looking mighty nice. There has been so much interest that there were more actresses who auditioned than there are monologues. This is good because YAY V-Day is AMAZING and getting all these new people involved is spreading the good word and opening up new fundraising options. There were so many people who usually wouldn’t be involved in theatre or even saying “vagina!” It’s quite inspiring. In the past years we have been able to have each actress perform a couple of monologues.

I know I should have left the info/audition session tonight feeling exhilarated and pumped about V-Day 2005 but I left feeling kind of heartbroken and melancholy (?) I have never felt this way before about the monologues.

This is my very last Vagina Monologues production. Selfishly, I wanted it to be perfect. I wanted to do The Angry Vagina. I wanted it to be a lot of things. I have been learning to let go because it’s not about me. New people need to learn how to organize. New people need to be inspired to create change. It’s about something so much bigger and I know all of this but it doesn’t seem to make this transition any easier. Why is it so hard to let go? I know the Monologues mean the world to me as they do to many other people. And I am trying to be thrilled that so many more people are getting involved and I am hoping it will touch their lives as much as it has mine (cheesy, I know).

Is anyone else going through this? Any words of advice?
