------------------

   Throughout high school I was what a lot of people would consider a "theater geek".  I did the shows, the musicals, the technical stuff, and anything else you could think of.  Although I never followed through with my acting, I knew it came naturally to me.  My first moment of pride would have been my 8th grade year, when I was casted as the lead role for "The Million Pound Bank Note".  A silly little performance about a British man who ends up with a million pounds.  My role was the leading lady and his love interest.  My second moment of pride came when I wrote the one act "A Rose By Any Other Name", a short, romantical play about a waitress on a cruise who meets the most annoying man of her life - who becomes her love interest.

   But my most proud memory of my theatrical years was easily when I performed in the one act play "Bang Bang You're Dead".  Though I didn't have a specific name, I still had a leading role.  The play was about a high school shooting and how it lead up to it.  In the play I portrayed several different people, but the most memorable being one of the girls who was killed.  "Bang Bang You're Dead" was a beautifully written piece, and was later made into a movie many people have seen.  It was a one act, however it was 50 minutes long, and to be qualified for the one act festival, it could only have 5 mistakes or fewer (we made it with 3).  The rest of the one acts that qualified were simply 10-15 minutes long.  We made Oak Park history with not only the length of our one act, but with our performance as well.

   After we finished the one act festival I was talking with the director of our play.  Her older sister was a very well known student around our school, even after she graduated her name still echoed the halls of Oak Park.  Her and her sister were probably two of the best actresses to ever cross my high school's doors, and both of them agreed that out of every one act that performed, and out of the 6 people that performed in our one act, my performance was the best.  My performance gave them butterflies.

   I made that performance my last one ever.  I wanted to end my acting and theater on the highest note possible, and that's exactly what I did.  Never will I regret not acting anymore, because I know that then I had reached my high.  No, I will never be a Broadway or Grammy winning actress, but I know that I did my best and fulfilled a dream that most will never even think about conquering.  Mostly, I just want to so thanks to everyone who made my dream come true.  It might sound small to you, but to me, it was a life changing experience I will never forget.

As for the economic proportion of your story, I honestly think your theater experience could've been better if you would have tried a tad bit harder.

by that we mean, you might make an alright guy if we could get you to have a curry, swap the wine for beer, and remove that big-fat head from the ass.

Oh, and by the way, this is what is known as "contructive critisism", as 'constructive' as you can get when you consider that you "cant make an omellette without breaking some eggs"

GOD I LOVE MY SENSE OF HUMOUR, SOME RANDOM PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME I'M THE BEST, SO NOW I AM GOING TO STOP MAKING JOKES SO THAT I CAN END MY JOKE TELLING CARREAR ON A HIGH....

Well, if the only criteria is that I know a bit of english I think that makes me fully qualified to "redisrespect" you., Q.E.D. :)

but anyway, what was the intention behind your post? --what sort of 'important message' were you expecting from us intellectuals?

if comes across as one big "look at me, I'm great" topics -- why would anyone here care about your good/bad acting skills?

or, more to the point, why did you think we would be interested?

Well, since you read it yourself that just shows how interested, or uninterested, you are in my life - someone you don't even know.  Who knows about the rest of people?

And speaking of caring about other people on here, do you really give a fuck when some 14 year old wants to know how to give a handjob?  Or when a 19 year old wants to propose to his girlfriend of 2 months?  We all post stuff no one else really cares about, but it makes us feel better to get it off our chest.  Or maybe, just maybe, someone else who has had a similar situation (whether it's about acting or even something else like a sport) will start a conversation with me.  Who knows?
