Boredom...
Picture it...a teenage girl sits in a dark room in front of a bright computer screen dressed down in pajamas and a Guinness Extra Stout baseball cap on. She stares at the screen doing and saying nothing. The teenager is me and I have no idea what to write about. I suppose I could start off saying that I need diet tips from the two people that occasionally look at this blog and the one that did once. No, that was not a stab at blog-reading loyalty, it's just me being unintentionally meanish. Another thing I could say is that I can't wait for New Moon to hit theaters and actually wish school had started and it was November 19th. But it's not so I can look forward to the fact that today is June 17th and in less than a month, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be in theaters! I've been waiting for that one since last June when I walked out of the theater after seeing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Ooohhh!!!! Maybe I should ask a question......okay, I will, if you insist. Does it make since for a fifteen-year-old girl to want to be an actress all of the sudden when she has expressed no interest in this career before? Well, she has, but was never serious about it. (Psst!!! The girl is me...in case you didn't know) The only problem? I'm kinda shy in school but I desperately want to be an actress. I've got it all planned out (BTW, Rod, if you are reading this, Plan Fishbowl has been revised...again), I graduate high school and go to California-LA, baby!-and find an agent that finds me perfect for acting. While he or she is setting up appointments or whatever for my big break, I take acting classes. I try for a year...if nothing works out, I go back to Ohio to college. I'll take drama and work on acting while focusing on becoming a director. If none of this works out, I'll just marry rich...tell me-and be honest-is this sounding like some pathetic little dream? Or is it possible?!? I want it to be possible! It has to...I'd be devastated if it doesn't. I also want to write a book or two but I don't know if I can. I can't stick with one big project for very long. JSYK, I'm going to make this work. One day, I'll be strolling down the red carpet in a stunning designer dress talking to Angelina Jolie like we're best friends. That's right...all five feet, two and a half inches of me...I can't believe I just dumped my biggest hope to all of the non-existing people that read this blog. But, all well...I'm not bored anymore...just depressed...

Hi hi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post. I liked Wings too. It was very different but that's what I like about it. Who wants to be like everyone else?
I think no dreams are foolish honestly. If you believe in yourself and most importantly YOU HAVE THE AMBITION AND DRIVE TO MAKE YOURSELF DO IT you can do anything! The second part is the hardest. It takes nothing but imagine to think of a dream. It's the people who have the balls (haha, sorry, I can't type that without laughing....) to go for it who actually make it. It'll take rejection and it's a lot of pressure but the most important thing is to keep going. There are people who have been taking acting lessons since they were old enough to walk (hello stange moms) who you'll be up against. However, if you have the talent for it then years of experience doesn't matter. I say enroll in something now. I know here in Tulsa a friend of mine runs a summer acting program-I'm helping her with doing the wardrobe for it. Find something close by. Community theatres are ALWAYS looking for people who want to get involved. It also will give you the chance to see if you really like acting and to try other things in the biz too! The most important thing is to get in there and do something. Make a local name for yourself and work up from there.
Hope I helped,
Casey
I thought about trying to find a local theater or something around here but I live in podunk Wheelersburg, Ohio...or the Fishbowl Town as I like to call it. It's hard to find stuff like that around here. IL know I have drive and ambition to see this through, I'm just worried I don't have the talent. I'm going to try though...thanks for the advice-it really did help.
ReplyDeleteIf push came to shove you could sort of make up your own. I know what it's like living in a small town-I come from a small college town with a population that doesn't tip over 16,000. But that just means that there are other people your age with nothing to do. Ask around to friends and see if you can't start a drama club. My friends started a Japanese culture club with just the 6 of us (yea, I'm a complete nerd but my friends love me for it.) and after two years we've had to move to a large library and have a steady group of 30-45 people of all ages who show now!
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of my friends like to write and are all about YouTube so maybe we could work out a summer project and make our own movie or something.
