To be honest, I never believed myself when I said I was going to build sets. Never once did I believe it. I called my mom last night when I finished, I had just been hired for real and this is the last thing my parents wanted me to do. You know what she said, she said, "we never wanted you to be one of the millions of girls who thought that she could be an actress so we discouraged you...I never thought that you lacked talent...but this, Kristin I couldnt be more proud of you. No matter how much we pushed you away from your dream you did it anyways" Well, thats the jist of it anyways. It was nice to hear her say that. When I called home to borrow tools my Dad didnt want to give them to me...he wants me to be a doctor or an architect...maybe when I explain it to him. I use to go home from dance all wired and talk and talk and dance around the kitchen and talk some more until my parents had to force me to leave after asking many times for alone time. That stopped when I started to hate dance and then it started again to an empty kitchen as I got older. When I called my mom noted that I had that excitement back. That I was a girl in love. I'm doing some thing now that makes me really happy, really truely happy.
