Confessions of a Struggling Actor

Well by this time tomorrow, I should have a hunk of my back missing.

Much as I'm looking forward to getting it over and done with, i'm still scared.  I've never been to hospital for much - apart from a duffed wrist due to my catching drunken friend's head before it made contact with a kerb - so it's going to be a new experience.  it's private as well, so I'm convincing myself that I'm staying in a hotel (the chateau marmont?) and someone's going to give me something to get off my face and then i'll wake up in pain.  Come to think of it, I've had that before so it should be a breeze.

It'll be home that will drive me nuts.  I'll be a prisoner to denis and his crazy stories, though he'll also have to be my slave and fetch me things from outside.  i've already dragged my matress into the living room so that i can at least have some TV, DVD and music action.  I hope I do get visitors as people have said they'd do.  It's things like this that really show how important you are to others that they would go out of their way to help you out.  If anyone's free one evening from Thursday onwards, give me a bell - even just for a quick chat.

I had a great weekend larking about on a barge - it's something I want to do again this summer, though it's a little pricey.  Lots of hilarity and barge related injuries.  I've done something to the sole of my right foot when I jumped into the canal to stop us from getting beached.  I might ask them to have a look at it tomorrow if it gets any worse.  I also had my back scratched when one of the boys drove the barge into a tree.  But that was all part of the fun, and I'm looking forward to beni so much now that I've got to know a few of them better.

Right, I might be offline for a wee while, but I'm sure I'll come back better than ever.  We need these challenges in our life to make us stronger and I feel pretty hard already!

Love and respect always...xxx
