GOOD-BYE CALIFORNIA LICENSE
Blog by Precious Chong
I’m late on my deadline, but really I haven’t much to say. I’m putting together a website, finally, so I’m excited about that. I’m going away soon to do a show in Winnipeg and it’s touring Northern Manitoba and Ontario in January! I’m sure I’ll have lots to write about then. It’s a solo show. I’ve probably
I’ve started to be a part of a goal group. We meet once a week and state our goals. It’s all women. I was part of one in Los Angeles too. Mostly my good girlfriends and a lot of them were also in Girls on Stilts. It was amazing that we sustained it as long as we did. About 5 years. And we accomplished a lot of our goals along the way. I think there is something powerful about a group of women getting together. So I’m happy to be a part of one here.
Mostly though I’m trying to get clear about what it is I really want. What I want my life to look like. I had this dream the other night and in it I was at this jewelry store with this man whom I guess I was dating but I’m not sure. Anyway we were there to pick up some gifts and there was something I wanted. I had a choice between getting the real version i.e. silver or white gold or the fake copy. The price wasn’t that much more. I was torn. A part of me wanted, or should I say, was inclined to take the cheaper version. Not to get too new agey but I think I’ve done that in my life. So maybe I’m in a place to make a choice and allow myself the real deal.
We’ll see.
Jack and I were in Los Angeles for a visit. There was a heat wave so we went to the beach and swam in the pool. We saw my parents and my brother. I saw my friends. I appreciate Los Angeles but it’s not home anymore. Weird.
Even more symbolically, I finally got my Ontario license and on a very cold and miserable October day they took my California one away. “I don’t get that back?” I asked. She shook her head, “That’s why I gave you a copy” she replied. I almost cried.
Even though it was going to expire in less than a year and the picture looked “like I belonged in a home” to quote my dad, thanks to an unfortunate hair cut that included very short bangs. It still made me a bit sad.Okay. So my life is here. I’ve got my eye on this amazing black goose down winter coat. The kind they wear on movie sets. Long with a hood. It’s gorgeous and it’s the kind of coat I’ll need if I’m going to winter in Manitoba.
