Warning.

My sister says that I shouldn't write blogs that are too long because blogs should specifically target our ADD culture and people do not have the patience to sit and read a moderately long blog post. So consider yourself warned, I will try to keep it relatively short.

Most people know that I am a nanny for my "non-acting" job. I have tried a few other jobs, I taught drama for a while for a non-profit and on occasion I substitute teach. Every once in a while I go through a re-evaluation of what kind of job I should be doing to feed me. Since clearly just being an actor is not enough.

The majority of my actor friends are waiters, bartenders, etc and while I have never done that before I think that at some point I will probably try it. Other than acting I have no patience for pretty much any other job and like to jump from one thing to another. It becomes too monotonous. So while the lack of longevity probably keeps me from earning a ton of money, it keeps me from blowing my brains out. I like skipping around.

I'd love to go back to school and get my Masters at some point, but it would probably be in theatre because obviously that is what I love. But I think if I get any older Hollywood will laugh even more at me. Le sigh. I wouldn't want to go back to school for anything else. I would LOVE to go live in Paris and study at the Lecoq School of Movement because it specializes in commedia style of acting, mainly clowning and stuff like that. You really can only do that in Europe. Lord knows all I have ever wanted is to live in France. I spend alot of my time trying to devise plans to get me there. School seems mainly my best option seeing as I have no marketable skills.

Here are my skills:

I can juggle.







I can stand on my head.








I can swordfight.



None of these are likely to help me feed myself.

My brother seems to have two suggestions as to what to do with my life.

A. Go to France solely for the purpose of finding a husband and then just stay there. I am ok with this option.

B. Since I am home quite a bit waiting for auditions to roll around I should start playing videogames and become a professional gamer and make money that way. Less enticing seeing as videogames give me a headache.

But thanks for the help anyways.

If anyone has any suggestions as to what a juggling, swordfighting, headstanding individual can do to make a living, I would appreciate them.

Thanks.
