Jack Lemmon awesome quote

"Acting doesn't have anything to do with listening to the words. We never really listen, in general conversation, to what the other person is saying. We listen to what they mean. And what they mean is often quite apart from the words. When you see a scene between two actors that goes really well you can be sure they're not listening to each other -- they're feeling what the other person is trying to get at. Know what I mean?" - Jack Lemmon

Thought

Dear AnonymoUs,

I want to take you to a cocktail party, just to see you all made up and in a lovely evening gown. I want to hold your hand, and have polite conversations with men and women older than us, that will remark how well raised we are. We will smile, thank them humbly yet knowingly, and slightly awkwardly drink our champagne.

Thought you should know. :-)

When Chandler proposes to Monica...

Makes me cry every time. I have to say that, and I like my new Facebook status too much to change it.

Late at night

I'm cleaning my room. I'm listening to the band that always started our conversations, back what seems like forever ago. I was so worried the silence would overwhelm us, crush my brain into a cube like in the Looney Tunes cartoons, so I kept the band as a topic in my back pocket. It never did. Silence isn't the enemy. You aren't. I'm not. Circumstances grow to be. I have faith in life. Whatever happens will happen. I don't normally feel this Zen, so it's nice to have it when it's associated with you.

Whenever I'm with someone I care about, and we're together, I get passive aggressive. I don't want that to happen. I make the other feel like they're being a jerk, when I'm the one making them feel that way. I can't help it. I get it from my mother. Now that I have put to words and realized this about myself, I can attempt to stop it. It makes me think what else I haven't realized yet. It makes me scared of me a little. A lot. Maybe that's what keeps me, me. I always have a slight fear of me, or what I will do. Not saying you should be, I just mean, that I get myself in trouble sometimes I think.

This helps. Writing to you when you don't know I am. I guess this is all I can do for now.

Life and Art with Life

I'm watching Lanford Wilson in a few interviews. I wish I could've met him. Luckily, I know people who knew him.

I watch these, and it makes me think. I want to live the artistic life, and I guess I am, but I don't feel like I am. I want to go out there and do it. I feel like I'm wasting away, and it's only been 2 months. Jesus. Dramatic much?

Ok. No more whining. Bye

No-one reads these things probs

But I guess I'll just ask the universe....Am I being delusional or ambitious?

I want to be an actor. Plain and simple. I want to be involved in theatre for the rest of my life. Plain and simple. Simple idea, hard to bring into actuality. Very hard.

I want to go to one of the top grad schools for acting in order to get an MFA to teach high school one day possibly, to have that kick ass training, and to have it on a resume wouldn't look too shabby.

I'm struggling with the thought. I know I'm good, I know I can be way better, I'm working to get even better, however, am I being delusional? Do I have a chance of getting in somewhere fantastic, even at the top of my game?

I guess I'll just work hard, do everything I can to kick ass and master what I can control and let go of what I can't control.
Right?

I was just listening to Juke Box Hero by Foreigner, and that's exactly how I feel about acting/theatre. Awesome.
