We're just ordinary people

Last night i met people i trained to be an actor with. It was strange and nice all at the same time. Most of the time i don't see other actors which consequently means i end up spending a lot of time with people that  aren't actors, which is good, but i do feel bit of an outsider. A lot of the work i do is temporary cover, which means that i go to a lot of workplaces where people don't really know how to treat me and when i tell them i'm an actor they are interested but i can tell they don't really get it, which is fine, i don't really expect them to get it. But being back with actors is nice, hearing about their day jobs, and what little acting tidbits they have found. Also it is nice to be around people who understand the temping thing, you don't have to pretend it's fine around those people, you can just be and compare stories. It is also nice to know that i am still on a parr with them all, no better , no worse. which is great. Again being away from acting peeps, i lose sight of how i'm doing. And it's very easy to think that everybody is doing better. Not the case.

Quiet enough to blog

Hello, long time no speak. I haven't been blogging very much recently, not sure why. I have actually been working quite a lot lately. Doing various temping things on reception, a bit of admin, and some events stuff. I was at the classical Brit awards on Tuesday, waitressing. I'm not mad keen on the events thing, I don't really like working evenings, but at least the jobs are interesting and invariably there is someone famous there, which is fun, I saw Andrew Lloyd Webber on Tuesday.

I have also got another acting job lined up for November, it's a short film, and it's paid which is very exciting.  I am currently trying to collect footage from the other short films that I have featured in, so that I can get my showreel together. This is proving to be a bit tricky. I am also attempting to do my tax return this week, which is also proving to be a bit tricky , as I have never done one before, I'm not really sure if I'm doing right...eek.

I am currently on my own in the flat as I am working in the evening today and my flatmates are working in the day. Which is nice. It's given me a bit of space to think. You know that phrase 'I couldn't even hear myself think' that's how I feel sometimes. I very often come home after everyone else, and when they are in the T.V. is always on, usually with them watching something mind numbing, or with a heavy laughter track. Don't get me wrong I don't mind a bit of mind numbing T.V. but not all the time....and I HATE stuff with laughter tracks on it, they are the worst...ergh. I had a bit of a blow out last night, I wasn't even in that bad a mood, I just wanted to be away from people. And when I got in the T.V. was blaring out, one of my flatmates was cooking, even though she got home an hour before me, so why she couldn't have cooked then i don't know, also she was using my baking tray, meaning that I couldn't even cook at the same time. These are petty things, but sometimes I just need space, and quiet.

Anyway, aside from all that things are actually okay at the moment, I still have no money, but hey ho, no change there, and I would like a slightly more active social life but small steps, I'm sure these things will come.

I'm going to get Glastonbury tickets at the weekend, well I hope too anyway, and that will give me something to look forward too. yay.

Right I best decide what I am going to eat before my shift tonight.

Toodles.
