AGREED!

I have to say I agree with Lawrence .

I went to Napoleons Itch last night and thought I wound up at Marine Life in Biloxi!

and all worn with such attitude!

...that's the way it is!

No wonder... It's because I'm evil...

Stolen from a fellow blogger:


There's so much beauty in the world it hurts at times. There are people who are average-looking with stellar personalities that will always be passed up. You can sit down anywhere in a public place and see these people walk by, so unaware of how beautiful they really are. That's really what makes someone attractive - being unaware, that innocence of the power they possess within themselves. Then of course there are the stunningly gorgeous people whose looks will fade. The most beautiful aspects of a person aren't necessarily "first glance" impressions, they are ultimately the things you discover later down the road.

He also wrote:

Everyone I've ever had a crush on hasn't been the best looking of people... but there's something so intoxicating about them that it's irresistable. Be it a smile, a sense of humor, a calmness, a sense of style, or just being sweet... looks really aren't everything. There are those who try too hard to be attractive and come across as such. And then there are those who are adorable but don't believe it.


We need more like him!


...and that's the way it is

I'm a pretty Girl Mamma.... NOT

Well...

We have started rehearsals for "Pageant" at the theatre. The rest cast is very good at this show, and I honestly feel sort of out of place.

The roles in which they are playing have a great deal of comedy to them. Mine is very straight forward, she is out to win the contest. She doesn't have the comedic facets the other roles have. I can honestly say I am laughing nightly at "Roy's antics" (Bianca... Ms Industrial North East) and Jesse's hysterical Ms West Coast (Dumb Blonde re-living past lives). They are doing an a amazing job, so true to the characters, like a real woman. This includes the other 4 actors in the show. All very good at what they do.

I have to say though, I feel left out. Most of them have been friends prior to this show and do things together socially. I don't feel close to the other cast members. There seems to be a clique of sorts, and I feel like I am peering in from the outside. Even when I converse with most of the others, I feel like I am looked at as an outsider...sort of out on my own, just as Ms. Texas is in the show.

Unfortunately, as many of you know, this is a time when I need that camaraderie, and friendship. It's been tough on me, because I am using this show as an escape from my troubles, yet I don't seem to be escaping anything.

This is a tough show, and to be quite honest, it has been painful. The shoes alone are going to kill me. I leave in great pain nightly. This on top of the lower back trouble this is giving me, has not left me with such a wonderful experience thus far.

Am I having trouble playing a female? Maybe so. I don't think I am pulling off the "feminine side" as well as the others. Maybe its the way the character is written. Maybe I am uncomfortable doing this. I don't know. I have seriously considered quitting a few times. Especially due to the fact I don't really feel like I belong. But I have promised myself to stick to it so far, so that's what I'll do.

It's funny, despite the fact I am surrounded by people, I still feel alone.

Have you ever felt like that?

I dunno...

I guess that's just the way it is...

Still trying to keep my head up...

Could this be the answer?

Why do people fall in love?
Don't we know love is full of dangers?
Letting loose our foolish hearts
In this world full of perfect strangers
Maybe this time you will find
The moon will treat you kinder
Yes, I'm sure that I recall
That's the reason people fall...

Love is needing to belong
Right or wrong, when you feel the fire
Love is living in mid-air
young and rare, on a sky-high wire
Hoping this time it will last
You feel your heart beat faster
Yes, I'm sure that I recall
That's the reason people fall in love

Taking chances you would never take
When wide awake...you risk it all
Half afraid he'll only break your heart
Still you will close you eyes and simply fall

Why do people fall in love?
Are we fools with no hope of winning?
Or perhaps we always see
One last chance for a new beginning
Holding on and letting go
But never really knowing
Well, I guess that after all
That's the reason people fall in love
