Good morning.

The hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness by some of the louder posters on this site (not this thread) continues to astound.

That said, I did not get the job I was up for a few weeks ago, they sent me a lovely note. But, I think it's the right thing. I would have had to give up a lot for it.

I'm very sorry to hear that, Rath.

So, Deeters. Getting ready for finals?

I'm sorry Rath.

I teach studio classes, so not really Soapy. Final projects are all due next week though, and then I'll be in grading hell.

I'd rather be grading than taking.

Good morning, all.

Rath, I'm sorry to hear about not getting the job. Remember this - God has a plan for everyone, and we don't know what it is. I wanted so badly to go to Adelphi University but I was rejected (again) from the acting program. Now I am starting to realise that just because it was something I wanted doesn't mean it was necessarily the right choice. You'll persevere, sweetie, don't worry. :)

Ewww. . .projects are a little worse, you can't stick those babies in a scantron.

It's a double edged sword, Taz. This semester I've got about 50 students and each project I grade requires a written critique of what works and what doesn't. It's very time consuming. And some of these students! The most diplomatic thing I can say publicly is that sometimes my critiques need to be worded in such a way as to get the point across without wounding anybody. That's not easy for me.

Thanks, guys. I'm really not that upset - I could have used the steady paycheck, and it might have been a fun gig, but I would have had to give up auditioning, and I don't want to put that on hold at the place I'm at now.

Everyone sounds so busy!

Everyone sounds so busy, except soapy!

I'm not very busy, either.

I mean, I was singing and dancing to my Hairspray cast recording in my living room earlier this morning, spent a good half an hour researching plays that Lee Pace has been for fellow Pushing Daisies fans on the Tim Burton Collective forum, and am planning to finish watching Wonderfalls with the possibility of renting Soldier's Girl from Blockbuster .... but that seems to constitute "not having that much of a life" than being busy.

I danced around to the Hairspray soundtrack yesterday. Especially "You Can't Stop The Beat". I like dancing around with kids because then you don't look as silly.

Now, I should really turn of Michael Buble and put on something that we can jump around to.

I've been up all night, so this may sound different than I want it to sound.

Over the last few months I've really begun to question God and I've come to the conclusion that he's never existed. People need to believe in something, and if they choose God, then great for them. I'd rather believe in myself, and my own talents and skills, and put them to good use than some mighty, really pissed off God, but whatever...

Anyway, I think people say "God has a plan" because they don't want to accept the facts.

Perfectly Marvelous: I don't know you, and I'm sure you're a terrific actor, but whoever was in charge of casting didn't think so. So what? You'll find a better school, one that likes you and one that's better suited for your talents, whatever they may be.

Rath: I know you despise me, and that's fine, but you might've been unqualified, or too peppy, or too old, or too young, or whatever. The person you talked with might've been cranky, or homophobic, or thought there was just enough lesbians already working at this place. I don't know. It doesn't matter.

Whatever your excuse is, don't blame God.

Austin, just because you don't believe god exist doesn't mean that PM should. The god that PM believes in, has a plan for everyone. There's really nothing wrong with that.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 11/30/07 at 11:04am

PM, I think that sounds like the best kind of busy.

[Perfectly Marvelous]

Posted: 11/30/07 at 11:07am

Oh, I'm not complaining about the school or the fact I wasn't chosen for the acting program. I've just come to the conclusion that they weren't the right choice. And I certainly don't blame God. You're talking to someone who had to play God in a production of The General of Hot Desire.

Personally, I say "God has a plan" only because it's been driven into my skull by my parents. I'm sure He does have one, but I believe that everyone has their own paths in life - some easier than others, you continue on and make the best of whatever comes your way. Didn't get into that trade school your heart was set on? Suck it up and look into other places you never considered to look. Lost a job? You'll eventually find a better one. I guess what I am trying to state is that everyone has a destiny. It's a little more clear cut for others than it is for some.

And Rath, you're right, maybe I am in fact busy... busy at being a geek.

Rath, I'm sorry you didn't get it, even though you don't like me.

By the way, I did get into the CCA. I decided to move to Las Vegas instead. Whoever told you that I've applied to a million trade schools and colleges lied.

As far as I know, I've only dropped out of SOSU and never started CCA.

I apologize if my earlier post sounded worse than I meant it. If you don't like God's plan, make up your own.

I meant "you" in the general context, no personal attachments whatsoever (seeing as I don't know you well enough to make any judgements on your achievements). Sometimes I just make poor word choices. My apologies. :)


And by the way, what you stated is the sentiment I was (trying) to get at in my previous entry.

I'm sorry you didn't get the job, Rath **BIG HUGS**

Today is my last day at my job from hell HOORAH! and I am moving tomorrow. I have a job interview on Tuesday, so keep your fingers crossed.

DG - I feel a good deal better, thank you! I am still have problems, but not as bad as it was. Love ya, man!
