Hello, I'm the sun.

Hmh, so I'm trying out something out of the ordinary.
Acting.
I've been in three school plays in my life.
First was a play in English, it was called The Turnip.
I was the sun in it. Was the first to speak.
I remember a couple of lines from it, "Hello, I am the sun" and "Grow, little turnip, grow".

Then there was a Christmas play and I was supposed to be a snowflake.
But the girl who played the witch fell ill so I took over the witch role.
I had to yell "Shut up" real loud and say a few other things.

And the third play, I was a mushroom.
I was just squatting there.
Oh well, beats being a fir tree.
My baby brother was one. :D

Oh and my class had to do another play for Christmas and everybody in the class had to take part in it.
I hated the idea of acting or performing, cause I was too shy.
So what I did to get out of performing, I wrote the play.
While my class was performing it, the audience kept talking and nobody really paid attention to the play, but I was happy that I didn't have to be up there myself and ...was kind of proud of my play, didn't matter that people weren't interested.

Anyways, I'm not gonna act just yet, but I will be signing up with this one agency type of thing.
So, just for the experience, even an extra part would be brilliant. :)
I'd like to do television or films, think you need to be really talented for theatre.
I have no talent whatsoever, but a little interest and want to do something....sort of offbeat.

And why I decided to go for it is cause I recieved a letter from my manager from work today.
When I had been on sick leave for 3 months (that was in October), I rang my workplace.
I wanted to know if I had to go back to work or if I could stay on sick leave cause I still didn't have a diagnosis.
Anyway, my manager said she'll send out a letter to arrange a meeting to discuss it.
Waited for a couple of weeks then rang again.
She said she'll send out a letter, she won't discuss anything on the phone.
Fair enough.
I did ring the third time aswell.
Same answer.
So today I recieved a letter saying how I never contacted them and what the story is.
What eejits!
If they want to fire me, then it's quite...bollocks.
I really don't want to be unemployed.
Think I'll do one of those FAS courses where they'll pay you when taking the course.

So yeah....hopefully the acting thing will make my life a bit more interesting.
Fingers crossed!

The only thing is I don't want to go there alone.
I'm hoping Katriona will go with me.
She might have to go home to help her parents and all.
This weekend.
Will see.
