Yeah, too many.
Directing Aladdin at the moment for the adult amateur dramatic group I go to.
Choreographing Alice in Wonderland for the juniors at school
Organising and fronting the school talent show (X Factor knock off)
Beginning the audition process to co direct and chroeograph South Pacific with the middle/senior school.
Not acting myself at the moment though. -
I'm not really sure how close counts as close!
cupoftea, cryintherain, pitufa and la are the only people I've had regular non TF contact with.
But I've met several others 2 or 3 times and get on with them well - SKOP, evilgenius, rosa, mini, feak etc - UKers basically. -
-
I find the quite dificult actually -mainly because I end up concentrating so hard on getting them right that I don't focus on the actual character enough.
So far, I've had to do American, Somerset, Irish, Southern States, French, Cockney, Liverpool and Yorkshire.
I'm only comfortable with Cockney, Southern States, Somorset and Yorkshire though, the others are very hit and miss! -
I assume that's sarcasm but regardless, believe me, you aren't.
-
Hmmmm, I don't think I have a boob fear exactly, I just don't feel very comfortable about looking at the boobs of people I know.
But no, It wouldn't help me to post mine and get the truth. I know the truth, I took a photo to check from a different angle myself - they are very lopsided. And way too big. Ugh. -
yes, Around the World in 80 Days.
I am playing Passepartout and the French accent is killing me - for the irst time I feel generally incapable of playing the role.
I directed Romeo and Juliet on Thursday and Friday at school which was awesome, although I thought it was going to be a total flop until the dress rehearsal. -
I started self harming when I was 11
I became anorexic when I was 16
This became EDNOS (after a brief period of a typical bulimia) when I was 21.
I started to fid it difficult to control moods and emotions when I was about 22/23
anxiety and depression problems have only come up in the last few months. I'm still pretending they're not there really!
My sister knows I used to have anorexia. She knows I still crash diet and can't stand the way I look. She knows I used to self harm but hasn't seen any evidence of it for 2 or 3 years.
My mum knew about the self harm when I was a child but probably thinks I stopped at around 14 (when I got old enough to hide it properly). She knows I had 'problems with food' at school but nothing else.
My Dad never knew anything, unless he just kept quiet which is possible.
Most of my extended family are clueless. -
no worries, I wasn't very clear
-
The 8 year old wasn't lying. When questionned she said it was a storyline on a tv programme she'd seen and it was the best description of fear she could think of. She just happened to be quite mature and perceptive.
The 12 year old plotted it as a 'joke' with 3 of her friends to trick another girl they'd fallen out with. She never pretended to anybody but that poor girl that it was real. -
Hmmmm, tough question. There are 4 things which I'm finding it very hard to choose between. These did not all happen at the same school!
1) A 6 year old boy was found in the toilets giving a blow job to a 5 year old boy.
2)In a piece of writing about what hapiness, sadness, fear and excitement are an 8 year old girl wrote "fear is being raped and not being able to tell anyone" - turned out she'd been watching too many soap operas but it still gave me a hell of a shock at first.
3) A new 7 year old arrived in the class having attended 3 days of school in her life (traveller child), knowing 2 letters of the alphabet (that were in her name) and with 2 illiterate parents.
4) A 12 year old girl told her friends she was pregnant and had been raped by her cousin - she was lying. -
I have. once. I hated it. Don't know if I ever will again.
-
That's ok, and thanks.
But really, there is nothing to be concerned or worried about.
I live a very normal and ordinary life. Most people have no idea I have any mental health problems at all. Everything is ok. -
Honestly? Yes I do.
I'm getting a bit fed up of everyone (including myself at times maybe) thinking I'm this hopelessly incompetent dangerous influence.
95% of people I know think I'm totally normal and healthy. My weight is very normal, I always wear long sleeves, I never get my legs out and I'm a good actress. I don't see where the problem really lies. -
-
-
Thanks. I don't either. But I think I'm ok.
I'm sorry for your experience. I hope things are better now. -
I don't know, I just don't feel like there's anything that wrong with me. Or, I don't want there to be maybe.
I think that my mood instability is more to do with my erratic diet and yo-yoing weight than any chemical problem.
I think doctors are too quick to throw labels and diagnoses at people without considering natural personality types and human reactions to different behaviours and circumstances. I'll admit to being extreme but I don't think I'm sick. -
Mid January-ish.
Becoming fairly convinced it's bullshit though! -
How do you know how I appear to most people?
Immature - I'm not sure. In some ways yes, I see myself as very immature. But probably no more so than the average hyperactive reluctant graduate that doesn't want to grow up and face real life.
Irritating - hmmm, maybe. I don't irriate myself especially.
My self perception - well, obviously I don't like myself very much or I wouldn't bother with the destructive stuff. But I do get on well with most people I meet (irl) so I do't see myself as a completely horrible, irrevokable failure as a person either. I wish I was more like other people and I think I'm very ugly physically. But I do have good days where I wouldn't really want to become somebody else.
