heartsdesire456My RL friends and one online friend and I are already planning a trip to Dragon*Con 2013 when Dragon*Con 2012 isn't even over yet! lmao.
We also have a group Cosplay idea. It was 'Dr. Who Characters' but now we're thinking Dr. Who Companions.breathedeep222 as River Song, my friend Alex as Donna Noble, and I as Sarah Jane Smith. The only thing is, my friend Courtney wants to be Idris so maybe not Companions, lol.
Hey, we may be crazy and probably wont (all) end up going, but I WILL KIDNAP AMBER IF I HAVE TO!!! lol
In other news! I was thinking how I sometimes feel bad I never pursued theatre after high school. I never did get a chance to play a serious character. The only character I had a chance to play that had some SERIOUSNESS was for a play we ended up cancelling.
I was cast as Miss Willie in Curious Savage. If you don't know, Curious Savage is a really good dark humor kind of. It's about this woman named Mrs. Savage whose late husband left her $10million and her stepkids put her in a mental health home after having her 'deemed disturbed' in hopes they can get the money, but it's in bonds that are gone missing. LONG STORY SHORT, the people there are all mentally disturbed for various reasons. The saddest ones are Florence, a woman who carries around a babydoll and thinks it's her son when in reality, her son died and that's WHY she went crazy; and Jeff, a fighter pilot shot down in the war who believes that he has a scar on his face, which he constantly hides from others. He plays the piano, but is too shy to do so around other people. He tells everybody his wife is coming to visit him and how he misses her so much and shit liek that.
Then I played Miss Willie, a nurse there. She shows extra attention to Jeff (fixes his die, does his tea how he likes it, coddles him sort of) and he gets annoyed every time and waves her off and goes 'don't do that, my wife will be angry when she comes!'...
Near the end, one of the stepsons hits Jeff and Miss Willie goes NUTS and basically beats him off of Jeff and then afterwards, when they're alone, Mrs. Savage asks why she reacted like that and she tells the truth. She is Jeff's wife. He doesn't remember who she is, his crash caused a mental break (he isn't scarred, he just thinks he is) and he doesn't remember she's his wife. He knows he has a wife, and he knows he misses her, but he doesn't realize Miss Willie is his wife but she's worked there every single day since he got committed so she can take care of him because she loves him too much to trust other people to do so, even if it breaks her heart every time he mentions his wife and doesnt know it's HER.
I WANTED THAT PART SO BAD! I never got to BE a serious character, I always did wacky comedies, with pratfalls and one-liners, and I liked those too, but because I gave up theater after high school, I never got my serious character. I wanted to show emotional depth in acting, I wanted to be Miss Willie and make people CRY but I never got to.
