"Trying to be suicidal..."

And so it is that my next and final :' { show is coming up. Based on Jim Cartwright's play, "Road", I have landed the role of Joey. He's young, seventeen, and idealistic. He also starves himself to death! Yup, I'm suicidal.

I've done many things at college: been a lead role, played someone HIV Positive, done street theatre, been a panto character, taught school children, been a lead in a dance show. But this is by far the most complex role I've ever been faced with, and possibly always will be.

How do I step into this role? What's it like to be suicidal? You're seventeen, got a girlfriend who really cares for you (Who dies in your arms), what's your motivation?

I guess you would have to adapt the mindframe where you wish every day was your last.

Only if you remember me.

Cheers Celestine :D

As for the rest of you (the insulters, that is)... remember me when I'm famous, won't you?

You boy's are so bad..

Go Hibey!!! Break a leg!!! :D

gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Well, the show starts on Tuesday, ends on Thursday. It'll be my last show for a long time, methinks :(

Anyway, I am prepared. I've stepped fully into this role, and I think I can pull it off. I've got my costume ready, and a decent tan. I hate working with my on-stage girlfriend, but when I become Joey I soon learn to love her. We finally performed our individual scenes to each other a couple of days ago, and people praised me saying that I moved them. It felt great. I've tried staying in bed, I've tried going without eating. Anyway, wish me luck, this is probably the last chance I get to post in here until after the show. This will cetainly be a challenge.

Theres something about Drama people...

This is the sort of thing my dramaqueen ex would say and probably do.

Shush! You'll give away the universal secret of acting; that it's a 'cking doddle.
