The stalker

The stalker is NO GOOD. I did block him - but then felt really bad so unblocked - within about 30 minutes ALL Of my statuses had comments on them and my wall a brand new post of some astronomy article. He was at my show tonight - as he told me he would be last week - and TWO of my friends LEFT because he was so weird and annoying. He is now blocked ONCE again. OMG - the commotion he raised when I asked Cara to pass a fork was beyond embarassing. He stood up - announced "this beautiful young lady has need of a fork - who can get a fork for the beautiful young lady." Meanwhile - in the time it took him to STAND UP - Cara had already passed me the fork - and everyone just stared at him blankly.

He also stood up and announced that my first love is directing and I am a marvelous director. Ummmm - A) It is? B) SO not his place to announce that - I have worked VERY hard to HIDE announcing that to people who see me as a performer. Then he continued to expound on how he was going to recommend I direct VLOG's next show. (UM! NO! I ALREADY TOLD THEM NO!!!! THEY DONT PAY! ITS TOO MUCH WORK! I HATE THEM. NONONONONONONO! THey asked - I declined. NOT HIS PLACE TO DO THIS! Not his place to announce this. And what the fuck - directing is not my first love - it is perhaps ANOTHER love - but reallllllly?)

He then went off on some monologue about how the cartoon fish I drew on my placemat was the most AMAZING thing he has ever seen - the dexterity with which my hands picked up each color crayon ---- for real? It's a doodle I stole from a classmate in SEVENTH GRADE. She even called me out on it and said - YOU STOLE MY FISH. And it's COLORING - a CARTOON FISH that takes about 5 strokes. He then went off about how things that dont seem impressive to me just ASTOUND everyone else around me. (My friends are staring in amazement, wonder, and disdain) - and how even my knowledge of Mao Tse-Teung (AT WHICH POINT - a friend MERCIFULLY said - oh we tune out when she starts going off about Mao Tse-Teung...which then became a joke for the rest of the night.) BUT EGAD! He even MOVED the dinner table to sit next to me - where there was no space. GAHGAHGAHGAHGAHGAHGAHGAH! He is blocked - and nothing shall be returned. I am so upset he scared TWO of my friends away!

ALSO - today - I went to two EQUITY auditions - in the EQUITY building. The first audition - where I had one of the first audition slots of the day (early enough they would NOT have gotten to non-equity.) I went in and sang. And the casting director said - do you still dance? and I said yes. And he said - OOOOH - but you're equity I see. I said yes. he said - oh - that's where it gets tricky. I have a job for you - but it's not equity. You wouldn't want to get in trouble with your union would you. I guess you're not interested? Me: Ummm - well - I'm equity (HERE AT THIS EQUITY AUDITION HAVING SHOWN YOU MY EQUITY CARD HAVING FILLED OUT THE EQUITY PAPERWORK IN THE EQUITY BUILDING at 10 a.m.!!!!) Him: Oh - o.k that's too bad. I'll call you if anything changes. WTF? Are there ACTUALLY equity jobs? I'm confused. I"ve been "offered" THREE NONequity contracts THROUGH equity auditions. Why do they HAVE equity auditions? Why don't they make it an NONEQUITY call if they aren't going to actually HIRE nonequity? What good is this stupid union if they only stop non-equity from being allowed to audition - but don't make it so theatres/shows have to hire you? AND HOW THE HECK DO NONEQUITY PEOPLE GET HIRED? Because I certainly wasn't even getting SEEN much less HIRED - and now since March I've been offered THREE nonequity jobs through these equity auditions. This is stupid.

GAH! AND LOOK! AN E-MAIL FORM MY STALKER!!! BLAAAARGH!

The good news of the day is - I think my dermatologist is helping my 15 year old boy acne. One day and the medicine/creams/etc...seem to be making an improvement. I hope it continues! Touch wood!
