Out of the blue she texted me saying she doesn't know what to tell me about our plans for the day cause she met a guy she's been talking to. She said she's confused and doesn't know what she wants. Really lame of her to tell me with a text. My girlfriend of two years broke up with me.

That's why I waited until he was on a weekend snowmobiling trip. It took me two trips, but I packed up everything I owned and loaded it into my compact car. I moved in with a girlfriend. He had a drinking problem, but he didn't think so. He wasn't going to change, so I had to. I miss the cats and dogs, but not him! Breaking up IS hard to do.

I have to say the timing sucked! For one thing, he only lives 20 minutes from the theater and I had planned on staying with him during the contract. Now, not only am I not staying with him (and instead driving 72 miles every day), but I have to pass his street every time I go and leave the theater. Secondly, all these break-up songs make me tear up in rehearsals and make me feel ridiculous. Then all I do is think of him the whole way home. *sigh* Every time someone asks me, "What show are you working on now?" I reply. . ."Don't laugh. It's called, Breaking Up is Hard To Do." But they laugh anyway! I know, it IS pretty ironic. And after all. . breaking up is VERY hard to do. -Amanda Marcheschi, Female Understudy About Amanda: A Chicago native, Amanda returned to the Chicago theater scene in 2010 after spending 3 ½ years in NYC performing on stage, film and TV.

Keep it up and you'll be rubbing elbows with Sandra Bullock one of these days!
