I went along for another chance to be rejected from the opportunity to act in a bad film by an enthusiastic but untalented filmmaker yesterday. I pretty much sucked. Not that it mattered, I wouldn't have got a part anyway, and as I said, those films are always bad.
I had to 2 a short improv with another young lady, first where we pretended to be sisters who hated each other in which I was mildly bad, and another where we had to pretend we were watching a game of football and were really into it, and I was really bad, as I had no clue how to behave in such a situation.
So as I expected I've gotten no phone call today. It was pretty much a waste of time but I didn't really have anything better to be, and I saw a friend I haven't seen for a while and got some photos of Jesus, so it's ok.
It's about a year since I've been in a film, or any kind of performance though, and it's about time I did something again, and it's also about time I started doing this properly. I mean at least to have a regular group who get together to do stuff that's actually halfway good or enjoyable, in which I learn more, and practise and get better. I'm getting too old to be doing nothing but basically surviving and living in ridiculous shared flat conditions. Oh, that's another thing, the living situation isnt' ideal. It isn't getting anymore ideal. I want my own place where I don't have to deal with other people having the nerve to do things their way, instead of the way it should be. Mine that is.
I know that sounds terribly unfair, which is why I need my own place, where other people are free to do things whatever way they want, it simply doesn't affect me.
My needs are rather modest. I don't want that much. Just a flat, my own computer of course. Oh, a camera that's just mine, a really nice one. Oh yeah, an acting gig, a long running play and of course a film, a real one, a small but interesting role, (talking of course) in a feature film which I get paid oodles of money (for me) and which leads to much more of the same, and better.
See I don't want much.

Start with video blogging - it's fun! Also, Wordpress is finally working properly so I've updated my blogroll :)
yeah video blogging is fun! adding video and ost from our favourite movie is also fun.
Michelle, nice blogging.
I don't have the camera! It's probably just as well, I would get carried away with it like everything else I do.

If you know what you want then do it! Half the battle is knowing. I have never had a burning desire to do anything. I just drift in and out of things experiencing life. Even if I love what it is I do, then at some point I move on. At the moment the most long standing thing in my life is my marriage and that has been hard! So go for it, get a flat, take the pictures, get in a film....
Maybe one day. It's something to look forward to.
For now I need to get a flat, get a computer, get in a film, you know what Vanessa said.
I think you're doing something wrong in your life, which is preventing all of the good stuff from falling into your lap. Are you absolutely you're not treading on the cracks in the pavement?
I probably am. There are too many cracks here and my feet are too big. It's unavoidable really.
I just want to win the Florida state lottery. Is that too much to ask?
