i was catching up on theatre people reading their journals and such cause i know theirs but not sure if they know mine. not a big deal really but sometimes its interesting to read what people what to say about theatre that you know so much about but not about the people whos saying it. i like when people finally come to realize that shelly isn't all that she seems to be. they can suck up as much as they like to her and it probably helps cause telling her you do drugs sure doesnt haha. or at least doing a scene about it. never really liked her since my first show for her was crew but i never hated her either until beauty and the beast when she told kelly that shes to be upfront to make the people who can sing look better. and when she told betony to sing off stage. and when she told me i had a good voice but didn't cast me. yes i'm still very very bitter about this since it was my favorite show and i deserved to be in that show when adam got casted as a lead and couldn't hit a tune on the piano. and all these people auditioned because it was a big show. not because it meant anything to them. i was a theatre major and this show was everything to me. ok done with rant
i was reading mikes journal i think who said maybe this year is his year to find something else hes good at or into. i'm glad i did. i just wondered what it would be like to take a broadcasting class and absolutely fell in love with it. i guess thats what college is for. to find the thing that appeals most to you. now a year and a half later i have a real job doing what i found. though acting will always hold a spot in my heart i did find something a bit more realistic and even though everyone my whole life told me to find something more realistic i was refusing to give in. i did and i probably couldn't be happier. i think i would still be lost in wondering what to exactly do with my life. i guess i would still be going to film school. the funny part is i might still be going, just for behind the scenes stuff now. i just look at some of the people in the department and hope that find something else they really love as much as acting because well..... i don't know i guess it depends on what everyone plans on doing with their acting. i guess from the directing stand point and studying movies and film acting, most of these people wouldn't cut it for film. but i don't think thats what they're going for anyways. i'm not good at theatre acting nor have i wanted to be. i acted cause it was fun. lab shows are more fun to me cause you don't have to over act to get your point to the last row. and if its a comedy its like a tv sitcom and to think it that way is a lot more easier to act it. i hate over acting and i hate seeing it on stage and i do. who knows what colins going to do.some part of me wants to just scream at him to get into something real more substantial if we're going to be together for a long time. but of course i would never do that cause its what he loves and i know what its like to be told your whole life not to do the one thing you love. hes good at lighting i guess. i don't know enough about it to make that judgement but i know i can't run the board so anyone who can gets props from me. though i can run studio cams, tech boards for stations and direct a live show and run an audio board in a recording studio.... so i guess i have a lot up on that.
this has been a long entry as i realize. and since i'm at my 'real job' hahah i have to actually get in the studio in 5 min. i hope the best for everyone in the theatre department and i hope they don't let shelly get to them like shes gotten to me. and if she does i hope they find something that they're even better at to make themselves feel that much better than her. good luck!
