Hi. Again. Am I still a "filler"? Cause if so, I can leave right now and actually do something. If not, I may just stay. (You better answer this one right, Tiff.)

hi! I'm here now! I am sooo outraged!! It'd a loooong, agonizing story, it will make you want to samsh a set of crystal wine glasses! But anyway, I have a question. I don' t like starting threads because I'm too shy and I figured someone here would know...but I'm sending in my picture/resume and I could only find really big envelopes here. I didn't want anything to get bent so I put the stuff inside a file folder, then I put it in the envelope. You know, I didn't want the stuff getting tossed around in the envelope. But do u think the file folder is ok? oh, and just so you know, the envelope isn't huge, I mean it's not so big it's weird looking...so yah, just to clear that up.

Hello! Nice to have you around!

File folder sounds like a good idea to me, but you should ignore my advice. I'm not a casting director, and have no idea how they would react to pulling out a file folder. It really doesn't seem like it would be an issue, rather, it seems like it might make a good impression of you for them. Like, that you cared enough so as not to let it be crinkled so you put it in the folder. So it sounds good to me.

But once again, I'm not well-versed in this stuff, so I dunno. *hides in corner*

I don't know a thing about resumes, sorry!

I wish I hadn't missed Anthony... it's so surreal to actually talk to him. But in a good way.

ok Delphine thanks! ok, it's good yay.I also wrote "do not bend" think that's ok? u know why this all has to work out perfectly? I just have tell my long story!! ok, well, I was searching in vain for auditions on the computer for days. And I finally found this one website that was good but it cost money to access but I decided to take the chance. See, my parents think acting is devil worship and they think all I should care about is school, so I said to my dad, "dad, can I use your credit card to order pencils and stuff on amazon?" and he was like ok and yah I used it on the website. I know, that's wrong, but what are we going to do? now it gets good and then bad. Well, I finally found the perfect audition for a movie with a big name person and they were looking for a few small parts with people my age, it was on a saturday, and it's close to my house! So how could my parents object to that? So I was extremely happy then, because everything was working out. My parents wouldn't let me be in plays or musicals because of all the rehearsals and they can't drive me and it interferes with school, and that's why the movie is perfect. It was fate, I tell you! So then I was at school, and we had to read outloud these expository essays we wrote. Mine was on Broadway:the center of the universe. lol. So on that subject, my "friend" (note the quotes) and I are dicussing the essays and she says to me, "what acting junk are you doing now?" And , using my common sense I said, "oh u know, stuff" and she's like, "what kind of stuff, give me details!" (oh, my) SO, u know I was really excited about the movie thing, and she did ask what I was doing so I told her about it. I said don't tell anyone please, I don't even know if I'm doing it yet, and I don't want people to think I'm a snob or something. ( I mean, I really tried to get the point across that she couldn't tell! not even her dog!) SO she starts making a big deal out of it, and right then, I knew I made a big mistake. And she's like, omg, I love (famous name) so much! I';m her biggest fan! So then we went home. And I went to school the next day. For once, I am having a really good day. It seemed wrong. SO now, my "friend" comes up to me and says, Omg!!!! I'm gonna be in the movie too! we looked all over all night, but we finally found the information!!!!!!!!!!!!!" famous name isn't even in the stupid scenes! and she went behind my back! This is the one thing I talked (not even talked) my parents into letting me do all year, it's really the one thing that I can be excited in my life about right now. And she has plenty of things going for her. she iceskates and rides horses. does she even act? no. does she like to act? no. did she consider how I felt about her sinking as low as possible and doing what she did? proabably not. and if she did, she doesn't care, she's doing what she wants. And I'm trying to be happy for her because hse likes famous name so much, but it's really hard. I don't know what I'm going to do if this whole thing gets messed up, because my parents aren't giving me another chance and I won't be able to act until who knows when! I'm not even to be on this website right now because it's broadway! well, I'm done. Sorry that was so long and gruesome, but I am so mad!

That's so nasty! I'm sorry!

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 10/30/04 at 12:46am

your friend is a nasty bitch. i am actually angry right now reading that. how terrible! i genuinely been badly for you, and i hope you acted appropriately and punched her in the back of her head.

[insomniak]

Posted: 10/30/04 at 12:49am

I'm so sorry, nobiz. That sucks a lot, I know life isn't fair but sometimes that's no excuse.

[nobizlikeshobiz]

Posted: 10/30/04 at 12:50am

oh thanks for the sympathy guys! I wanted to punch her, but I didn't, I'm just sitting here squeezing my smiley face stress ball

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 10/30/04 at 12:51am

that is seriously terrible. i'd be so ****ing angry.

i wanted to go into acting for a while. sometimes i still do but i'm realistic. so now i watch and review all the shows i can, and i try to stay active in the film community in other ways. sometimes that's the best you can do, but i can tell ya from my limited time as an actor with an agent, waht your friend did is just the surface of how nasty hollywood is. better to prep yourself now cuz there's a load of horror stories, even from thebottom feeders.

[insomniak]

Posted: 10/30/04 at 12:53am

nobiz, name your stress ball after your 'friend'. It will make you feel better when you squeeze it.

Tiff, good for you on having other backup plans. We wouldn't want you to be jobless and not be able to pay for internet access.

[nobizlikeshobiz]

Posted: 10/30/04 at 12:57am

yah, I know a little bit of what you mean with the whole hollywood thing, but I just wish everything I do didn't have to involve "learning a lesson", because that's my life!

[Type_A_Tiff]

haha i know. because you guys would be aimless, lonely and empty without my presence. you know it.

Let me say from experience that the film industry is MUCH worse than the theatre. But trust me, there's still TONS of backstabbing and nepotism and lots of other horrible things that are going on in the Broadway community.
Oh. Hi, everyone!

Unless of course, I'm the only one up. And since it's close to 3 am here in NYC, that's seems very likely.
