Greetings!
Well it’s a bright and chirpy Saturday morning here in Beverly Hills, California. The tropical sun is glistening and i’m definately feeling at home! Considering i just moved here from Lake Louise, this kind of weather is something to enjoy!
Oh, but how rude of me to not introduce myself properly. You already know my name is Jackie Hanson, but now for the juicy details! I am recently 23 years old, having spent my final night in Canada celebrating my 23rd birthday with my single parent Betty (i don’t like calling her mother, it creates a certain heirarchy in the home and i feel it degrades my being) and my younger brother Dennis, or as i lovingly call him… booger.
Now let me fill you in on something about home life in Lake Louise. Just like the weather, it was dark, cold and miserable. I’m sure it was all sunshine, lollipops and rainbows for the other two inhabitants of the family home, but i always felt trapped and smothered under a tightly-knit blanket of judgement and dissapointment. You see, my family is the kind that values academia; numbers and chemical equations.
ME? INTERESTED IN MATHS OR SCIENCE?!?!?! no thankyou! I am an actor; a performer of the high theatre!! My criteria are not graphs and grades, mine are the applause of the crowd and the flash of the camera! But this just never seemed to match up to the incredible amount of over-achieving little Dennis accomplished with such ease, little snot-faced science-head. Grrrrrr.
Woah, that was quite an outburst of rage i had there! I should really suppress those emotions and channel them into my next audition! Man i wish i’d thought of that when i was up for the role of “Angry Mob Member #14″ in my school play. Oh well, i’ll remember it for next time… breathing…. breathing…. 1…..2……3…. and they’re suppressed.
But after such a vivid explanation of home life, i think you can now completely understand why i am now living in sunny Los Angeles, where my hopes and dreams will be fulfilled and fame is pretty much a guarantee!! I haven’t yet ventured out into the nightlife of Beverly Hills, let alone any auditions, but when i do, you’re sure to hear about them!
Bye for now! xoxo
