Interview with Channel Nine

Just when I think I'm making good choices and doing what's best for me- eg leaving re-enactment because reasons- back comes Channel 9 with their guy determined to do an interview for one of their lifestyle shows. I had a previous preliminary interview and hadn't heard back, so I thought the entire thing had gone toes up, but today, another guy rang for a second pre-filming interview.

Before I could break the bad news to him about my plans for re-enacting, he launched into a barrage of questions, many about how I started, what I love about it, whether the sense of community is uplifting and what I do there and what I like about it (clearly, the unlimited potential for unusual arts and crafts is a hefty drawcard) and before I knew it he's penciling in filming dates.

The worst thing about it was that it really did highlight how much I'm giving up and how much I don't want to, and now I'm back to wondering if I can still sort something out. The same issues haven't been fixed, so my head says no rather firmly, but after such a great discussion about the friends I've made and the making things, both of which I adore, well...

I'm trying so hard to quit, but it almost seems like the world keeps throwing crumbs my way. Just enough to hold me there. Next thing you know, the bloody Netflix thing will be going ahead.
