Well, SLCPunk...polish up your writing skills and you could do a guide book.   :)

I don't know what I want to do when I grow up...I just kind of fell into being a teacher because I loved kids and didn't know what else I wanted to do.   I'm afraid I'm getting a little long in the tooth to be switching careers/jobs, though.   :(

If I could get paid to read that'd be wonderful.  But, I don't want to have to edit...just read.   ;D

Yeah SLC, that means learn how to spell words such as you're.   :hihi:

Astronaut.  First human on Mars.

and if that doesnt work out, a porn star.

Good to know you have something planned to fall back upon.   :hihi:  Maybe you could do both and make the first porn on Mars.

Don't really know.

One thing I'd really like to do is a comic books as I've had this great idea boiling in my head for some time now, the only thing really stopping me is the fact that I can't  draw, but maybe I can find someone to do the drawing and I could take care of writing.

My coworker was reading over my shoulder and saw your post.  He said (about you): 'That man is a visionary'   :rofl:

I should've guessed it would take a twisted mind like yours to mesh the highest aspirations of Mankind with his basest instincts!  :rant: :hihi:

I have worked at JPL (Jet Propulsion Lab) - it's the closest I'll ever get to being an astronaut.  Maybe you guys will settle for:  First Porno in the Observational Space Systems Division of JPL/NASA.

I wanted to be a clothes designer at first...But i could make clothes quite easily and i got bored ( i was 9)..i then decided to become a ballet dancer and did ballet until i was 16, when i had an accident and broke both my anckles. I had to give up..

I then did a drama school course and singing because i was naturally being just that since i was a kid ?

So what do i want ?

To find jobs as an actress or a singer...

Nope, it's you instead who made yourself look the fool, because I was NOT referring to the statement you quoted.  I was adding to what Sukie said about SLC Punk's spelling, not replying to her.  In other words, I was telling SLC Punk that he needed to learn how to spell "you're".  I was not correcting Sukie.  He frequently misspells the contraction "you're", where he says "your" instead, including in several replies to me.  I was not referring to any reply on this thread at all.  SLC Punk understood exactly what I meant, because I've prodded him about it several times in the past.

We should be more precise.  At some point in your life, you might have desired to be in the entertainment industry - I think that is true of most people.

But Jessica is serious about her aspiration, as in, it is not a passing fancy, then we should regard it as seriously as any other profession. With the possible exception of porn star.  :hihi:

Stop taking it so strictly.  "Everybody" meaning a lot of people, more so than any other profession.  You don't grow up and say "I want to be a cashier!"  or "I want to work at McDonald's".  You grow up and say things like "I want to be an actor, a rockstar, an author, etc".  There are thousands and thousands of people trying to become these things.  What are the odds?  The odds are that it ain't going to happen for you.

If I had a dime for every person I've known that wanted to be an actor, I'd be a rich man.  I've known people that were talented, and passionate, and thought they could get work, and guess what?  They're all working nowadays, but not as actors, and the dream is long gone.

For the record I am lazy and do often times see my spelling errors. But if you have ever looked around this board? HUH...I'd think the last thing you'd notice is my fuck ups. People write very poorly here. On another forum I actually do spell check before I post, just because...

Not only have i worked in the past, but i was trained to be an actress for 3 years in an excellent british theatre school, and got a diploma at the end of it that says " highly commended".
Since i got out, i was got very small parts in TV films ( like everyone who starts) but got as far as having a very good part in a TV period drama and a small part in a big screen movie.

Acting and singing are my reason to wake up the morning. When i was little, there were many things i wanted to do and i would have been just as happy to be a profiler, because i am facinated with criminals. As i am fascinated with ancient languages ( like hyeroglyphs)..

But i happen to want to give emotions to other people, i can't help it. And i want to be praised and looked at, i am naturally the centre of attention in my daily life.

I also talk LOTS, so i may as well get paid for what i do best : TALK.

I want to work in what i was trained for. I didn't say i want to be famous, because i couldn't care less, but i do want to be either on stage or in a movie and be proud to work in what i love most.

If i got a permanent  part in a european equivalent of the SCI series, i'd consider that to be success.

I have done 25 different jobs, from being a waitress, to being a personal assistant, to being a nanny and whatnot, and what i do best is ...act and sing..

There was no evidence of that in your post Diz.........Therefore, one might surmise that you are somewhat lacking in the writing skills department........ :yes:

For as you may or may not know, it is very important for a writer (in this case you) to be very clear and concise in their product (in this case your post) as you want a reader (in this case me) at the very, very least, to have a relatively easy go at absorbing your words...............

Hmmmmm..........how to respond.........

Perhaps I should take a stab at you in the reading comprehension department.............to say something to the effect of - I do not find defeat funny.......I find 'picking a game off you' funny...........

Perhaps I should hit you with a rather caustic response to your overbearingly undignified statement of - 'I just seriously kicked your ass at this game.' - with something to the effect of - Huh?........what game?.........I was just fucking around and having some fun................

But I won't (Hey!!!! A CONTRACTION), as I certainly have nothing to prove to you...........and as I'm not that insecure that I have to construct fictional scenarios where I am the champion (see - HERO) of my own intricate designs.....................then again.....such behavior is inherently and altogether human...........so I certainly can't fault you for that, as I would in essence, be faulting myself..............I can however say this:

Lighten up old man.........no harm intended............. ;)

Well, that's all good, and I hope you succeed, but just because you've got some credentials, doesn't mean everything is going to work out for you.  There's a lot of competition and there's a lot of people with more credentials than you, and there are people who are well connected.  Most times, even those people don't make it.  All I'm saying is that it is a tough business, and it's very unrealistic.

You went to school, but why haven't you done that much since then?  Older actresses have a tough time getting work.  If you truly want to be an actress, you have to find work.  It won't be handed to you.  Only successful actors are successful because they go on nonstop auditions for anything they can.


I understand that you want to be an actress, and you feel tha you have the credentials necessary to do so, but it's a tough business.  Credentials and even the highest motivation doesn't guarantee anything.

I'm not going to mention the titles of them here.  Not because they were bad, but because I don't want people here watching them and picking me out.  I'll just say that they've all been released to theaters (two of them had limited theatrical release, and one had major worldwide release), and one of the independent ones is getting its video release soon.

And (to tease you a bit more) I'll also say that one of them, I had a scene with Sarah Michelle Gellar.  I'm not going to lie and tell you we're best friends or anything (she didn't really notice me), but I was in a scene with her in the mainstream movie I did.

It's given me some more opportunities, not many more though.  I'm slowly working my way up.  Hopefully soon "Dizzy" will become a household name.   :hihi:

I don't yet have an agent though I did negotiate with an agent last summer.  I have currently found the opportunities are much greater in low-budget independent films, rather than immediately going after the big starring roles.  So that's what I've been focusing on, and slowly ascending the ladder.

Yes, actors work long hours.  On the second film I did, an ultra low-budget indie, we shot the entire thing in a meager 9 days.  We worked pretty mcuh 15-16 hour days for that period.

And I also want to clarify something: I am not currently making a living off acting.  It's a statistic that only 1% of actors actually make a living off of it.  Yes, that means all the stars you see on TV only comprise 1% of the acting community.  But it's still my dream to earn a living off it, and the opportunities increase slightly every day for me.  But until then, I have to make a living working shit jobs like everyone else.

Oh yeah, and I was not Scooby Doo, nor was in I that movie.  And I didn't get to touch her tits.   ;)

I'm not sure LA is the best place for acting really..From what i've been told of it in europe, seems like New York is a far better place, especially for people who swap between theatre and TV work ?

Over 70% of LA is apparently aspiring " something" and the other 30% are in ghettos, extremely poor, so poor that they way under the national rates of poverty.

As Diz said, there is 1% of people who live off it and these ones are crazy enough to buy some house for god knows how much.

The rest do waitressing jobs, nannying jobs, secreterial work or even get inside the skin of mikey mouse for the festive seasons and summer...How rewarding.. :hihi:

Diz, i don't know how old you are, but don't stay into low budget after 35, you may not get another chance to go higher up. Plus, i don't know if you disagree, but personally, i'd never piss on tv work.

Dizzy, I gotta ask you:  did you ever consider moving to Hollywood?  Or does Hollywood no longer have the glamour it once did in the acting world?

No it still does, and yes, I've considered moving there.  The Sarah Michelle Gellar movie I did was filmed in New York City, and I love it there, I spent an extensive amount of time there, chasing auditions.  So did as associate of mine who works for the Virginia based production company with whom I am now involved.

But much as I love NYC and would love to experience L.A. and Hollywood, I am avoiding those places right now.  The audition lines are a mile long in L.A. and Hollywood.  I have a lot more opportunity in the level that I am right now, believe it or not.  Doing low-budget films which help me slowly gain valuable insider contacts.  The list of celebrities I've met is actually very lengthy, including one Academy Award winner (the legendary Mickey Rooney), and two Academy Award nominees, Linda Blair and Brad Dourif.  I've also met Alice Cooper.   8)

Whenever I am in downtown, I end up meeting someone who came to LA to 'make it big'.

The problem is, everyone wants to "make it big" right off the bat without starting small first.  If you look at all the top stars, they all paid their dues in much the same way I did, they started small and worked their way up.  That's what I am doing now, and it's beginning to look brighter than it did when I started.

Another problem is that people have the huge misconception that the movie business = immediate big $$$.  How wrong they are.  Only the select few major stars get paid tons of cash.  People like me do it as a labor of love.  If you want fast cash, get your ass to law school and become a defense lawyer.

I'm not sure LA is the best place for acting really..From what i've been told of it in europe, seems like New York is a far better place

L.A. and Hollywood are where all the big stars film their movies.  Aspiring actors and actresses have about a snowball's chance in hell of making it there.  NYC is a better bet for theatrical actors/actresses and possibly TV work, but if you're looking to get into movies, I'd advise looking up your local independent circuits.  Some major stars get their starts there, including Sissy Spacek, who lives very close to me.

Spacek's goddaughter produced and starred in the last film I was in.  One night, on the filming night of a crucial exterior scene (I was in it!), there was a huge snowstorm, and Sissy Spacek actually called her goddaughter on our set to check on us.  I was standing right next to her when she took the call.

Plenty of other actors got their starts in low-budget indie films.  Anybody heard of a 1981 slasher film called He Knows You're Alone?  It starred Tom Hanks, in his film debut.  And let's not forget Kevin Bacon was the young guy who had sex and then got an arrow rammed through his neck in the original Friday the 13th.  Jennifer Aniston was in Leprechaun.  Johnny Depp was in the original Nightmare on Elm Street.  Sharon Stone was in Deadly Blessing in 1981.  The list goes on and on.

Quote

Yeah, same for NYC.  In any given hour, you'll walk past literally tens of thousands of aspiring actors, actresses, and/or members of some band without even realizing it.

Me either.  TV work is very grueling, longer hours, rigorous schedule.  But it is much more steady than film work.

To date, my only major TV appearance was on The Osbournes.  During the second season, some clips from the 2002 Ozzfest were shown, and I was visible in the crowd in one of them.    8)

 :rofl:

I don't think I remember much before the age of about 10, so I'll start from there...

When I was 10 I wanted to be an electrical engineer, but after a while I found out that it would involve a lot of work and effort, such as going to University, so I abandoned that idea. I think I briefly contemplated becoming a fireman, but I didn't think in much depth about that.

I was pretty aimless until around 14, when I decided I wanted to be a builder, but I was quickly put off that one by my two weeks of work experience on a building site, making me aimless again. I wasn't even planning to go to college, but I did.

As I got closer and closer to a time where there would be pressure on me from certain people (parents...society in general) to get a job, I think I subconsciously rebelled against it all, and made absolutely no effort - as usual - to achieve anything, or find any sort of real focus in my life. Although throughout college I occasionally did things with a view to becoming a tramp one day. For example, I wore the same trousers every day, until they had huge holes and tears in both legs and the rear (my mum put a patch over that particular hole though), and the pockets had been torn out. My mum eventually caught on to the fact I was wearing the same trousers, and began to start asking for them to be put in the wash every weekend. These trousers were fantastic, and whatever image of them you have in your head now...they were probably much more torn than that. I do still have them actually, but last summer I decided enough was enough (read as: my girlfriend at the time made me buy new ones).

So anyway, I walked out of pretty much every one of my A level exams, when it became apparent each time that my fantastically low work ethic and high apathy levels throughout the last two years had rendered me incapable of sufficiently answering any of the questions being asked of me. It was summer, so I had plenty of pleasant and peaceful strolls home, if I ignored the busy traffic and fumes. I fully expected to fail those exams, but somehow I managed to get two Es and one D. Interesting fact: I got a U (fail) in three of the six Media Studies units over the two years, and yet I still managed to pass the subject as a whole, without getting particularly good grades in the other three either - one B and two Cs, I believe. The education system is a joke.

I've done nothing for a year. I was on the dole for a few months, but that was depressing, so I abandoned it. I went to one interview during the time I was claiming, and just lied when I signed on every fortnight. I figured if I was going to continue with my apathy, I may as well do it in an honest fashion, so I stopped signing on - although I lied about my reasons for stopping. I have considered a few options in this year, but mainly I've just sat around and been depressed, for various reasons, although I'm definitely on my way out of that shit now, so maybe I'll find something to do some time soon. These are the three main things I've considered since college:

1. Ski Instructor

Not sure how easy it would be to get work out of the skiing season, but I guess I could just come back to England and work at dry ski slopes, then go back out to Switzerland (or somewhere else with snow and mountains) for the winter. I need more experience on snow before I'm even allowed to have a shot at the base qualification though, so going down this path would be somewhat expensive. I'd get so much enjoyment from it though, but I would perhaps get frustrated by the lack of free time to just go skiing on my own every day instead.

2. Games Tester

I'm not sure how easy it is to find consistently available work in this field, but it would suit me to a tee ?:hihi: I could just continue being how I am now, except with a little more commitment and effort, and get paid for it. The down side of this is that I would probably slip back into depression, and ex-communicate myself from society even further.

3. Fireman

I think I'm regressing to my earlier childhood. It's possible that in order to do this I may have to learn to drive, so I'm already greatly put off the idea. Then again, I guess being able to drive might be practical for being a Ski Instructor too. To be a fireman, I'd also have to bulk up quite a lot, which I can't see happening ever.

To be honest, I don't want a career right now at all. Maybe I'll just work in a music shop or something. Seems most people are slaves to money and society whether they realise it or not, so I would initially feel uncomfortable with the idea of a proper income, because I know I'd get sucked in like everyone else, get into debt, buy things I can't afford and don't need, and end up feeling very frustrated. Eventually I'll give up trying to escape the trap everyone else has fallen/jumped with intent into, but not quite yet...

I had almost always wanted to be a singer, with a few add ons.

But then, my mother couldn"t take me anywhere without saying " come on jessie, sing a song for so and so".
I guess it was her way to be proud, but she did kind of disgust me from singing or from feeling i had talent, because i became a sort of talented animal in a family/friends zoo. It would still be this way if i hadn't stopped singing.
I did do an audition last year but failed because i was too old.

The same happened with piano. My mother took lessons and couldn't ameliorate, and her teacher told her i was extremely naturally gifted even though i had tiny hands ( which i still do). she would take me to tea parties and ask my brother to tell jokes ( because he is funny) and ask me to sing or play piano.

So i stopped piano so she'd leave me the fuck alone.

I didn't do this with acting ( and i had quit for 6 years anyway due to men making me come to auditions just to offer work in exchange of a fuck, so i prefered to quit and look at myself with honor)  , because i have a huge  fear, a natural block, so even though i am given roles like blanche ( i fucking HATE tenessee williams) by teachers who think i have what it takes to play her ( thanks to them, she is a fucking nutter, every actress wants her and i would raher go without) , i can't seem to let it out. I freeze in camera auditions and retreat into myself generally.

But i'm not finished and haven't said my last word, next step is a HUGE HUGE work on me with hypnosis, as soon as i have enough money.

I may have lost my chances to have a big career, but i can still have a smaller one and will try.

Didn't know it had really. I guess I'm just going through an enthusiastic HTGTH posting phase, so I'm posting longer messages with more thought put into them. On the whole though, taking into account emails, letters etc., it's no different *shrugs* It also helps not feeling so depressed all the time.

Yes well I wouldn't know about the emails and the letters and the etc's. I'm just going by what I've seen on the board lately.

But you know, you can have all the thought in the world put into a missive and produce nothing but doggrel in the end. So I'll say it again - the quality of your writing has risen drastically as of late.

Anyway, semantics perhaps. A tree is a tree. But a tree could also be a carnation pink crayon; that sort of thing.

I use it as a form of therapy, ideas induced directly to my brain, sort of " reprogramming".

I was already under hypnosis in catharsis therapy with a shrink, it did work well ( thank you axl saying YEARS ago it even existed !!! i was SO uneducated really ).

Soi  can work on 1) gaining confidence in my abilities 2) the " what" terrifies me in a camera 3 ) pushing myself forwards instead of hiding what's good in me

I already did 10 years of therapy, but these 10 years were work on much more important issues, now, whatever time is ahead working on me, it will be to give me a good life, one i like.

The past 10 were to give me a life altogether.

And hypnosis is amazing, it reaches a zone of the brain that can(t be reached otherwise.

How come ?

Therapy can be good.

I tried all the freudian shit, with a person sat in front of me with pen and paper going " huh huh" " huh huh" for an hour and ma paying a fortune to speak to myself.

Of course, didn't work.

One day, i found HER. Oh bless. I tried a few.

I was telling a part of my story for the xxx time, and there was an echo, it wasn't my own voice, it was hers, there was a real communication there  ? On top of being a proper doctor, she knew how to hypnose people medically and worked with kids and people who had experimented paranormal also.

an angel..

And hypnosis isn't unnatural, it's a bit like a transe, the way to go into it are very transe like anyway. And you do know many cultures in the world use transes. There isn't anything more natural. But in our white controlled society, people fear it because they fear it could give people power over their intimacy.

To be honest, i never had any, not physical, nor mental.

So there was nothing she could steal from me, it had been stolen long ago. I had nothing to lose.

I used to want to be a mermaid (is it weird that I still wanna be that ;))

Also, a zoo owner, an artist, and a supermodel

Now, what Im going to be, is a make up artist for fashion ads and runway shows, a fashion model, a pastor, a rock star's wife, and with my money use it to actually make a difference in this world, not like other famous people who only give their chump change for helping and then they spend millions on a single dress they never wear but once.  I wanna be a lot of things actually, and I'll do it all, gotta dream big to live big  :-*

I wanted to be a:

1.  Chemist (I loved playing with chemistry sets - but then I found out I needed to be good with math, and math is evil)

2.  Artist
3.  Writer

I'm doing the last two now.   : ok:

The threads have been merged.

We don't want multiple threads on same topics, so: we sometimes put two topics together. Whoever posted first appears as the starter of the thread. No magic, nothing special.

Oh, and another hint. Please stop double posting. This is for all of you people who double post. I find it irritating. I know some others agree with me. If you want to add something to your text, and you're not really replying to anyones post, just hit the edit button and edit your post.

Isn't the button to change or add to your original post marked MODIFY?? Maybe that confuses people that English isn't their first language (or even those of us whose it is) and they think "modify" is something only for the moderators?


ON TOPIC:? I always wanted to be a tv repair person so I could get paid for watching tv all day.? :hihi:

Yeah, that's the button.. Modify. Anyways...

And I do read the threads. Just long enough so I can find something to take off context and bitch about.


On topic, I wanted to be.... ...a lumberjack!

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day.

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shopping
and have buttered scones for tea

I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
and hang around in bars.

I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
just like my dear papa!

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day.



Seriously though, I wanted to be a police when I was little like my dad, but turns out I was colour blind (can't become if you're one at least here) so I'll become master of science in technology instead. Turns out it pays more and gets you killed less as well.

I don't follow... ???

You wanted to be a police...what exactly? A police informant? What?

And this was when you were little like your dad. And you're what, a lot like your dad now? Or is he a midget or something?

Colour blind? British as well, I'd wager...

And what's this? You can't become color blind if you're one year old where you come from?

And the whole master of science bit...is it THE or A master of science?

Finally, does someone believe in Karma?

Sorry for that.. I was in a rush and had no time to check the grammar. I wouldn't be so arrogant to go declare myself _the_ master of science. "A" will do just fine. Also, as surprising as it is, my father's not a midget. I do have a friend though who is one. Does that count? I mean, it has become some sort of status symbol for rap groups to have a midget in there some where. I just don't know if it applies to rockers as well. The thing with the becoming... you know I forget one little word from there, and you attack immediately. You're acting like a true mod. But the places are reserved for cool people only. Oh, and me.

As for the final question: God I hope I don't get killed at work...

Now, on topic again. A true dream job of mine at the moment would be to work with music in some form. Preferrably as a performer, but more likely in form the of building instruments and/or amplifiers and effects.

I'm also in a bit of a hurry now, and all typos should be overlooked. If you don't know what I'm trying to say, learn to read minds.

And I'm Finnish!

You know, I was about to comment on it.. It's really witty, you know...

Did you think of that all by yourself? 'cause it's really funny. It really is... I mean, the way you say finnish, you know, the same way you say finish, which would like, totally change the meaning of it, plus make the sentence grammatically (don't even know if that's how you spell it) incorrect. Wow. You know I've never though of it like that.. hmm.. finnish, finished... wow. That.. that really is something. And to think that you were the first one to ever come up with a joke that works like that. So smart and original.. Because that's what it is... Smart... And umm.. Original.. Yeah... Wow. That's really something there. I think I'll go wipe off the tears in my eyes after reading that. Funny I didn't get it before although it was right in front of me.... and.. umm... yeah... you're good, and smart.. and original.
