I tried this once before. I have tried this a few times before, blogging I mean, in various places. Anyone remember MySpace? Yeah, I had a blog there. But somehow, the girl who writes everything down and has kept a journal since she was 15 (and I still have them much to my boyfriend's annoyance - he calls me a hoarder), was not able to keep a blog going. This is a fresh start, let's try again.
This will be an exploration of this crazy life of mine. Anyone who doesn't know me yet will soon know that I want to be an actor. I suppose I am already an actor... but I mean a Professional Actor. One who gets paid and makes a living acting without having to work in a restaurant, bar, behind a desk, nude model, personal assistant, nanny, dog walker, home sales person, retail supplier or other random part time obligation to pay the rent. I want to be a full-time, professional, working Actor.
Anyone who has ever tried this, knows that the pursuance of this job comes with a plethora of ups and downs. It also comes with a spattering of random trials, errors, jobs, personal meetings, judgments, the list goes on and on. Some of these occurrences are hilarious (I will admit myself that I am somewhat of a Lucille Ball character sometimes) and some are downright heartbreaking. But all are necessary and all are making me into what I hope will one day be a better person and a great and successful actress.
So here is my journey. With all the trials and tribulations for you to read. Please laugh, cry, comment, whatever you need. I will probably be doing the same. I will try to be honest with myself, which I believe is the best way to grow. Although I understand the motto of "fake it till you make it", I also understand that there is only so much you can fool yourself.
So here is to the first step of my new journey. Let's see if I can get past the first post this time.
