Random Thoughts of an aspergian actress
Happy December!!! So, I’ve been working more hours at both my survival jobs lately in order to make that all important Christmas money. While both of these jobs are similar in that they both require me to overcome my social awkwardness, I want to mention the settings of both. For one, I’m in an enclosed […]
Read MoreAs actors we’re encouraged to be pushy, selfish and to not take “no” for an answer when it comes to getting what we want. We have to send out applications and mailings daily as little reminders to the powers that be that among the ocean of actors in any particular city we are, in fact, […]
Read MoreHope everyone had a great holiday! For today’s update I’m trying something different and I’m going to talk a tiny bit about a movie I saw on Friday while everyone else was at the mall. The latest Disney flick, Moana. It’s no secret that my heart belongs to Disney. Growing up in the 90s, I got to […]
Read MoreRecently while I was on break at work, I overheard some of my coworkers discussing a certain actor (I can’t remember his or her name, but that’s not the point).

My reasons for taking the book were threefold: One, I’m an adult (in body, not always in mind) and I have Asperger Syndrome, if the book wasn’t made for me, then who? Two, I find […]
Read MoreJust a quick blurb before you go on with the rest of your day. Up til now, I’ve been very disorganized when it comes to this blog. I haven’t posted consistently (at least it hasn’t felt that way to me) and the topics have been more along the lines of “I’m gonna talk about whatever […]
Read MoreWARNING: IT’S GONNA BE A LONG ONE TODAY FOLKS. I swore a while ago that I wouldn’t talk about politics on this site. However, due to my own personal feelings as well as the fact that my status as both an actor and an Aspie are under serious attack, I couldn’t live with myself if […]
Read MoreTo be shamefully honest, today will be my first time voting. The first election in which I was able to vote I was lazy. The second time, I was in my first year of grad school in England, and found myself too wrapped up in my training to arrange an absentee ballot. Now this election […]
Read MoreThough it may not seem like it from reading my posts, I’m actually kind of shy. I go out of my way to dodge socializing with people I don’t know, and I avoid conflict like the plague. Personally, I chalk this up to a mixture of my being both an Aspie and a Libra. But […]
