What a bloody awful day.

I broke down and cried during rehearsal this afternoon. I promised myself I wouldn't, no matter how angry and frustrated I was because I couldn't do the dance steps, but I couldn't stop.
I felt so humiliated, like everyone was laughing and pointing at me for being so stupid.

I am just so sick of being fat and useless. Sometimes I pretend to myself I don't mind, that I enjoy looking like a roly poly hobbit lass, and it doesn't bother me that I can't wear any of the clothes I want, or even that I don't look good in the ones I have. Of COURSE it bothers me. I hate it. And I hate myself for looking the way I do.

I'm an actor. All actors, no matter how talented, get jobs based on their appearance. It's that simple. I am doomed to a life of playing servants, or if I'm lucky, comicly buxom wenches. Hurrah.
I don't even know why I do it anymore. I haven't been happy acting or singing in so long, but I don't know what else to do with my life. Somebody help me.

A woman on the train nearly sat next to me, eyed me up and down, gave me a look of great disdain, and wandered off to find another seat. As if I needed more reason to feel like a worthless human being today.

Came home to find that I have been verbally abused without my knowledge by people who don't know me, have never spoken to me, but presume to know exactly what I am like and can therefore mock me and examine my oh so obvious flaws without hesitation. Oh goodie. *sighs wearily*

The sprig of rowan I carry with me to bring luck and protect me from bad magicks is obviously not working. My legs and ankles were in excrutiating pain all day and even now I can barely walk. I got myself kicked out of the main dance routine because I couldn't pick up the steps. I am being attacked for no reason by people who know nothing about me, but have only heard about me from people whom I thought were my friends. I am home alone on a friday night with nowhere to go and no one to be with. I feel depressed, betrayed, useless and just plain miserable.

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother getting up in the morning if this is all I have to look forward to.

I wish you lived here tonight. Just so you know, dancers are notorious for being rabid ... the things they say to and about each other in the spirit of competitiveness ... men have it so much easier, and are not as nasty as women can be to one another. You do have a lot of fans and friends, they are the ones who matter in the end, not what some threatened barbie wannabe says to you. However, when it all happens at once, it's hard to keep sight of all that. I've been there, but I turned a physical oddity into a boon and never looked back ... well, not too much.

I can't thank you enough for all the wonderful comments you have left for me tonight, your advice and words of comfort have helped me feel so much better. *tight squeeeze*

I wish I was still at university in NYC, then I could pop over and visit you for some tea and sympathy (and [livejournal.com profile] orangelover and I could finally star in that porn film together ;-), and fun and games as well. :)

That'd work magnificently for me; I need a new source of income, as they enjoy playing Schedule with me a little too much.

And, I mean, c'mon...a porn with Nev? How is that work? ;)

I know, it'd be like a day out at Disneyland with me...;-)

Heh. Suddenly had a VERY naughty image of an orgasm ride in the Magic Kingdom. *laughs*

It could be a 3-D IMAX porn, of course, with contortion.

IMAX porn? *eyes pop out*

Imagine the possibilities! No, wait, perhaps it's better if we didn't. *giggles*
