On January 1, I pronounced that my word for the year would be Open. I decided I wanted to be open to new experiences and not just say no to things. I would try new things and see new sights. So far I haven't done much of that. I mean, I've taken a few trips to NYC by myself to see things that I really wanted to see so I suppose that's being a little open. But for the most part, winter in Maryland has found me in a bit of a rut.
However, spring is so close we can taste it - it was about 65 and sunny today! - so things are starting to look up as far as new stuff goes. Everyone knows nothing fun happens when it's cold. Fun activities are planned for when it's warm and sunny. At least that's what I'm telling myself anyway.
So that's why I recently found myself signing up to be a volunteer at the Annapolis Film Festival. I'm actually quite excited about it even though there's nothing in this activity that sounds remotely like me. I mean, if it was a theatre fest, that would make more sense. But I don't see movies. I have the attention span of a gnat when it comes to movies so I tend to stick to television.
But my thought is that this event will be chock-full of creative and crafty people. And being around creative and crafty people is never a bad thing. Also, I'm thinking that meeting these people may lead to other fun happenings that I can be open to trying, or at the very least, maybe Prince Charming is a movie buff...
Yay for new fun!
