I was supposed to say this in my post yesterday, but I got a little carried away with all my eito love so I forgot.. XD So,
Hi new friends! :D
Since I don't think I've ever done one, I thought of making a little introduction post. :D
I'm Therese, as I think you've guessed. XD I'm 23, from Sweden. The past year or so, I've been in Japan two times, six months each time, studying Japanese. It was awesome, and I love the country (even though I've barely been out of Tokyo.. FAIL!) and would love to get back there. Soon.
But now I've just moved and started a new school. I study acting and I want to become an actress. I have only one passion as big as my passion for eito and that is acting. I've only been doing stage acting, and that's what I think I want to do in the future too, but since I haven't tried film, I don't know for sure. I guess the perfect thing would be both. I'm going to apply for the most prominent acting schools in Sweden next year, you'll probably see me angst about it a lot here. XD
As for fangirling, I used to be a NEWS and KAT-TUN fangirl too, but I kinda.. left that. Eito just.. took over. I still like all of the Johnny's groups, some more than others, but the only ones I really love is eito. ♥ My favourite member is Subaru. He turns me into a puddle on the floor most of the time. But I of course love all of eito and my favs after him is floating all the time. I'm also a collector and my need to have everything when it comes to goods and stuff is.. not good for my wallet but very good for me. XD
I also love Japanese and Taiwanese dramas, be it with or without our boys. Sadly I don't watch as much as I used to. My time seem to never be enough, even though I spend so much time just doing nothing. To name a few favs; Last Friends, Nodame Cantabile, It started With A Kiss, Devil Beside You, Hana Yori Dango, Mars... And so on.
Um. I don't know what more to write.. So, if you have any questions just ask! :D
Now to something different. XD
We had the introduction for our monologues today. I was a bit shocked when she told us that she wanted us to have monologues of 15-20 minutes!! That's a lot of text to memorize, and with no sticks from someone elses lines to learn from. XD I do think I know which monologue to have though, since a girl in my class found one of my favourite scripts I've ever read today and she told me I could have it since she found other stuff she was interested in also. I haven't decided yet, but I have a few ideas with that one. I'm thinking of just using the monologue, without the rest of the play in mind. The character in the play is actually a man, and I want to do it as a woman and probably having her talk about his father. If only reading the monologue, you can get thoughts on incest and stuff, and I'm thinking of trying that. It's interesting how a text put out from it's context can become something completely different and I want to explore that. I already have a few thoughts on things to use and such and yeah. It feels good! :D
We're also doing a monologue in a cellar in one of the houses next Thursday, which we're doing all by ourselves with our own ideas. So no scripts or anything like that. All we have is that it should take about 5 minutes and that we should have a song in it.
Tomorrow we're having a workshop in burlesque, which will be interesting and fun, even though I'm not sure what we will do. I just hope that we won't take our clothes off. haaah. XD
So yeah, there's a lot of things going on and now I need to read some scripts because I'm supposed to have like 3-4 pages from a play with 3-4 characters in it to hand to the teacher tomorrow and then we'll work with those texts one day or another. ehum. Good going girl! I've known that we were supposed to do this for at least a week now, and I still haven't looked it up. GAH! I need to stop doing that. Tomorrow I will start working seriously on the cellar monologue, and then Friday my boyfriend is coming, so the weekend will be off, but then I have to start up on Monday with that one again, and I also need to start looking at some other scripts for the long monologue just in case, so I know that I have explored all possibilities there. I need to get myself a calendar where I can give myself deadlines, because really, this is so not working if I'll keep this up this whole year. All of our projects demands so much discipline and work on my own, so yeah. Work work work!
heeeh. Long post is long. XD
