    It's hardly realistic, or a secret, but I just want to act.

      Why isn't it realistic? You're a pretty bit o' muslin, these days that's all you need.

        Ha! I thought you said Muslim... Isn't muslin a fabric?

        The prospect of living on the streets when it doesn't happen doesn't really appeal to me.

          I believe so, it's something I read in a novel set in Victorian England.

          Well that's what you're doing isn't it? You are going to Uni to get a good education. There's nothing wrong with a back up plan. Makes good sense!

              No way! Most of the top actresses are much older! Think of Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman etc. You've got plenty of time to do Uni first (or also).

                But you see, they only became really famous when they got older. They were involved in the business beforehand.

                  Can't you try getting into acting part-time for now? Amateur productions, Uni reviews etc etc?

                  It's all good experience.

                    Oh yeah, of course, I got cast in one there on Friday. Woohoo! And I've been asked to direct one too, we'll see how that goes.

                        I'm so nervous, no other first year is directing! I mean, the second years are only doing it for the first time.

                          They must feel you have the natural talent.

                          You know we were talking about depression on another thread? Well depression is a thief... it robs you of the will to try and fills your head with doubts. Just tie the 'Old Black Dog' up in the corner and go for it!

                            Very nicely put, Ara. Thanks for the encouragement. I have to say, things have been on the up since that thread. Still without my meds, but life is getting better

    I haven't decided yet if I want to be known as a poet or an artist. In either case I have a long way to go.

    I have always had this crazy belief of giving a lot to society, so someday I really wish to do just that. travel the world, and just give a lot of my time and money to anything I feel deserves it (:

            nope, not to people who make comments like that.

            no one in their right mind would help anyone if they knew they would not be respected for it. so run along now.

            • Amanda, I have some news, and you may want to sit down for this:

              Just because a male person speaks to you, does not automatically mean he wants to get in your pants.

              Take some deep breaths, that's it, in through your nose, out through your mouth.... just let it process. It's a concept that requires a certain amount of depth, so don't be too hard on yourself if you don't catch on to it right away.

              *pats Amanda on the head* So, run along now.

                I may have and I apologize for that. it's hard to tell who's "nice" over the internet. I am just defensive, and no harm in that. I don't need to explain my reasons why...as we all have a past and some troubles in our past.

              Amanda...

              I like the warmth of your wish to give to society

              But I should like to assure you that the comment made by Arafura was misunderstood by yourself and possibly only because you do not yet know him.

              I can say, hand on heart, he is a diamond and was just jesting.

              He is one of the most respected and revered poets to grace the forums and allpoetry.

              Enough of my babbling like a brook, before I end up writing a book!

              The real purpose for helping someone is because they need help and you are able to give that help.

              Wanting or expecting anything in return, whether it is respect or anything else is I feel, the wrong attitude. You should help people solely because you can.

    I think being a drifter, traveling from town to town, helping those I find. A drifter that no one would call poor, carrying a book of poems and songs to play sweet on my trusty violin. But, honestly I think I'll just settle for a beautiful wife, some kids, and making a living as journalist/copywriter/college professor.
