The Rent Welcome Wagon — Page 44

Oooh, gotcha. And yeah, people are idiots at fifteen. I'm gonna have to wait until they grow up which happens at like... thirty? ugh.

Patience is a virtue, but not one of mine.

you're 15!! So am I!! All the guys at my school are really annoying. They need to get a reality check and notice that they aren't all that

Hello Fredi and a VERY late welcome to the board! (sorry about that). I'm sorry if I repeat any questions, but, well, this is a verrrrrrry long thread and I tried to read up as much as I could. So here are my questions:

1. Any advice for aspiring performers?

2. I fcould've had any other part in RENT, which one would it be (if any)?


And to respond to something that BEKA said way at the beginning of the thread, not every high school has done Pippin. Sadly enough, mine hasn't. Hopefully we will before I graduate.

If you're lucky - maturity and age are NOT mutually inclusive.

welcome - the answers to those are definitely on the thread - though I'm not sure where....

read through it when you get a chance - there's a lot of good stuff that I couldnt re-create if I tried!

all the guys at NTG/my school are either pompous rich *sses who don't know how good they have it or taken
we need a pity party!

sorry to have to tell you but that won't really change.. most of the guys you meet will be *sses - and that's showbiz kids...

does that make you feel pitiful enough?

that's why I say - enjoy your dates and just get to know people... don't go into every dating experience like this is THE ONE... it takes a minute to meet that person and even when you do - you may not know it at first.

::wallows deeper::

Help! I'm drowning!



Kidding, kidding...wow...I don't think I should be allowed to be on this late at night...

---

NTG, it's Saturday not even midnight
you'll survive
although somehow I'm wallowing in this pool of pitifulness too...

"all the guys at NTG/my school are either pompous rich *sses who don't know how good they have it or taken

Sounds like my school!!! It's insane...

Thanks, som...I'm gonna get kicked off in 10 minutes or so...the parental controls keep a log of when I get off and I don't wanna get grounded.

Just to warn you guys, I have enough auditions/concerts/tests next week that I probably won't be on much. But I have one more day before all that.

::blushes::

I liked myself better green too...

NTG, I'm very glad to have you on this late, we miss you most nights.

AGREED....


Fredi, in your experience, at about what age do people grow up enough to have strong relationships with? I mean both friendly and romantic.

a very insightful question.

It really is an individual thing. You hear about people marrying their high school sweetheart and it lasting 50 years... it happens (rare - but it happens)

You hear about people going through their lives in a million relationships and finally coming back to someone they were with years ago...

some people keep friends (and lovers) for life - some people go through a series of random connections forever...

it's all up to you and how you decide you want your life and your relationships to be. Me, I base mine on loyalty - are you with me or are you not? Your behavior will show me that over time - you must be EXTREMELY patient to really get to know people...

this developed in me over time. My tragic flaw is that when I care for people I only see thier good - you have to be able to see people as they really are so that you are not always so terribly disappointed when they turn out to be human and falible.

You also have to decide whether or not YOU are going to love with or without conditions. Is a person less lovable than they were the day before just because they do something you don't like?

All this begins now as you build your friendships at school and at home. As time goes by - what I'm saying now will make more and more sense.

NTG, did you play the Wicked Witch of the West?

Thank you, Fredi.

I've only just begun to realize that no one person will ever be 'perfect' in my eyes, you have to accept what they have to offer and decide if you want to build a relationship based on that. My biggest problem is that I concentrate on the flaws too much. Sometimes they are things that I should not overlook, sometimes they need to be let go of. It's just a matter of knowing the difference.

Life is a work in progress.

life is most certainly a work in progress....

just remember to consider others as you would have them consider you...

would you like to be written off for your imperfections? or would you rather people hang in there with you and see your shining star?
