You Can't Take it With You

Gemini Cricket · 02-13-2006, 01:54 PM

Once I'm face to face with my castmates, I'm totally professional. I'm one of those low maintenance actors. (Believe it or not.)

I don't take Depression Brad into the theatre with me, ever. I always 'put on a happy face'. But what worries me is that this is the first time I haven't been excited to do a show. I know everyone will be cool and that I'll have a great time, but I'm so blah about it right now... Bleh. It's not the part, either. I think it'll be a cool part...
Tonight will be fun...

Bradley, Bradley, Bradley. *sigh*

I haven't read all of this thread, just the last ones {where you said you didn't want to start a new thread...}

Of course, I pick up on what I personally want to, so, please remember that when you read this.

I picked up:

Oh, fellow Piscean. Doesn't one have a birthday coming up? Now, I am totally putting you in my shoes {don't worry, they aren't too high

} but I also have a birthday coming up. And, I have also had some birthdays that left me feeling...ahem...old.

Oh, the pain! Could this be part of what ails you? I mean, I know I personally try and shrug off that nagging voice 'That hot young man is right about your DAUGHTERS age!!!' or 'He is comparing you to his mother....'

But that is me. I think your voice might be saying something else. Or nothing?

Either way...tell it to shut the heck up!!

Why oh why is 'Laverne and Shirley' running through my head...{imagining them, trying to lift one anothers spirits}

'Just what makes that little old ant, think he can move that rubber tree plant. Everyone knows an ant, can't, move a rubber tree plant but he's got High hopes, he's got, high hopes. He's got, high apple pie in the sky hopes.'

That's all I got.

Kick booty, GC!!!!

I'm sure all the wonderful winter weather doesn't help, either. We got socked with some snow last night and it kind of sent me into a bummed state- I was hoping that little gopher was wrong. (Furry little bastard).

You'll have fun, GC- and you are still very much a young man, so don't stress about all that stuff. Every actor goes through this, and the great ones own their age and use it to their advantage. Or, they get really good at lying about it- which is also acting, right?
