You're a queer one - Julie Jordan.

Today I "auditioned" songs to sing for Mary's workshop for the class - and I sang Carrie Pipperidge's song from Carousel and one of Julie Jordans. Now - everyone says I would make a fabulous Carrie because she is the quirky funny sidekick one - and I always get all upset and cry and wonder why I'm not pretty - and say BUT IM JULIE! And they all say no no no - you are Carrie. And since my New Years resolution was to just take whatever professional challenge is thrown at me (see go with the flow) - I figured - whatever - I'll give Carrie a try. I actually ended up loving the song and having a blast singing it. At the end, everyone said "Mr. Snow is good - but "What's the Use of Wonderin' was AMAZING! It's so interesting to see your happy exterior have a dark side! It's just beautiful! SING THAT!) HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I AM JULIE JORDAN AFTERALL! TAKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alena introduced me to a book called the Tao of Show Business which I must purchase at Drama Bookshop tomorrow! It sounds amazing! It basically says "stalk people" - but it tells you WHO to stalk as well.

Now - I must say Kenneth Branagh's autobiography just gets better and better - I can hardly wait to see what happens next! OUR BRAIN! OUR IDEAS! I have found a soul mate! I would say he will never know it - but he will - I intend to tell him myself - maybe not in so many words - lol - but - I HAVE to meet him - I have to! Everything he was to squeeze out of theatre, people, life, his loneliness, his temper tantrums, his human interactions, his belief that you can be an actor, director, writer, dancer, singer, and camera man all at the same time - and the best part - he just goes out an DOES IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is so enthusiastic - so determined - so naive to naysayers - so cocky - so strong willed - and SO AMAZING AT STALKING! MY GOODNESS! He puts me to shame - and its MARVELOUS! I LOVE HIM!!!!!!! (and by love - I mean - admire.)

What an inspiration!
