I've had one of those days today where my mind has seriously been running a mile a minute I think... my thoughts have been filled with everything from my morning jog, to relationships, to university and education, to my uncontrolable passion for acting, to baking cookies (I know... where do the cookies fit in you wonder...). Overall this day has just been, well, crazy. For one, I actually had a converstaion with my father this afternoon- and yes this is a unnatural occurance. It wasn't just that I talked to him, it was that he was actually encouraging me in the directions that I want to go, and didn't piss me off and contradict me by the end of the conversation. He was actually encouraging me to look into this university course trip to Rome and he said he would help pay for it if I want to go. Then he said that I should go and audition for the Stratford company next spring... like wha the f**k? Really? I don't understand how one minute he tells me not to go overboard on the acting for fear I burn myself out before I finish high school, and on the other hand he says I should apply to audition for The Stratford Festival Company. It confuses me, but nevertheless at least he was being encouraging, which is something I really appriciated.
Ah... and the relationship aspect of my thoughts has focused partly on this conversation and my not always that stable relationship with my father. Somedays we barly speak to one another, and other days we stand each other quite well. He just doesn't always understand that I'm a teenager... Gah! Then also I was pondering another very positive relationship in my life, which I won't get into just cuz that's my little piece of happiness. Then also I laugh at my brother's relationship with his girlfriend who drives he crazy most days I think, but nevertheless he is living with and staying with, depite the fact that I really think more days than not he would rather break up with her. I guess that's what happens when you rope youself into high maintance relationships. I like low maintance... it's more relaxing and pleaurable without the confines and stress of higher. (Of course where do I get off talking about romantic relationships! It's not like I'm experienced with guys! Ha....)
And universities.... it's scary, but I'm going into grade eleven, and yet I'm still thinking about what universities I want to apply to, and where I'll have to go to audition, and what I have to do to prepare and etc etc etc... It's very mind boggling to think about that all. It's going to be so crazy when I do start applying... hum... National Theatre School, Juilliard, Ryerson, U. of Alberta, London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, York, Northwestern... so many places, so little time. But, thankfully I do have some time left before I have to make those life altering decisions.
Ah- and to add to all this confusion, I recieved a voice mail this evening about some historical documentary something or other that they are looking for people for and I need to find a good picture of myself before tomorrow morning at eleven o'clock! Eek! Ah.... the craziness.... Life is so crazy, and I love it!
