I enjoyed Martyrs as well, I can't wait to see what they do with Hellraiser. Maybe we will get to see it next year at Fantastic Fest.

The Northlander is a lucky sod.
I _wanted_ to see "Phoebe in Wonderland", but... by Anna Valerious	Nov 26th, 2008 07:11:51 AM
...it just reminds me of my own childhood. I thankfully don't have tourette's, but I know what it's like having mental issues and being kept from what you really want. Unfortunately, my parents wanted (And still do) me to be like everyone else. Fat chance. Fortunately, I've done some theater in the past few years (As I gave it up as a teenager because I couldn't take people not wanting me because of said issues...which made it worse) and in some productions, I wish all those people who didn't want me in there ('For my own good') would've seen them. I liked getting all the applause and compliments, especially since I was afraid of tackling a main role. However, now my big hurdle is body image, as I had dropped out of the last play because I was upset that I wasn't asked to audition for Belle. And I have a feeling it's because I wasn't able to fit into the ballgown she made. And I wasn't happy they changed my part to one I DIDN'T WANT (I hate when some productions run short on guys...I was NOT going to be the creepy asylum keeper when I wasn't going to be given a chance to try for something I knew I could do...as I have been treated like Belle a lot. Sure, I wasn't going to get the part, but I just wanted a chance.), I quit. (It was early enough. They got the original guy they cast.) However, it's a little hard to tell the director that's the REAL reason you quit. But I'm surprised. She's not someone that does that all the time. But no one said an actor's life is an easy one, right?

If you have an urge to express yourself creatively, and the way to you originally intended to do it (in this case as an actress) doesn't work out, you'll find some other way - be it writing, music, directing or whatever. Maybe you'd be a much better writer? Maybe your issues can work FOR you instead, if you just find a way. Do what you gotta do, because creative outputs are all the same in the end anyway.

I dunno, I believe that if you are meant to do something, you should pursue it. I have had a lot of people tell me I should stick to costuming, and I'm definitely not giving that up, but I definitely want to act. I felt that giving up as a teen was a mistake as I could've gone the right way and kept trying. Besides, my issues aren't a subject I like talking about. Especially in this case, as people with my condition are being treated like tokens in the media. (I'm blaming Jenny McCarthy and that one "America's Next Top Model" contestant...I don't think they're helping as some of us don't want people to know there's something 'wrong' with us.)
