I live alone, I don't have any friends, & have ADHD. That said, why is it, in an audition, I get lines, whereas in a request for an STA, I get a list of characters, props, camera angles, motions, etc, but am usually asked to improv my lines? I'm just an actor. What do they expect me to do with all this?

Recite an imaginary grocery list, but with gusto!
I feel more like I do now than I did a while ago.

"Cat?"
"The one on the lid."
"That's an Iphone under a magazine..."
"Whatever."
"Aggressivlly eccentric, and proud of it!"

That's why they helped that dentist kill one, despite the misgivings of the Copenhagen Zoo.

Seriously, in their Darwinian uber-struggle to stay dominant they kill leopards, they kill painted dogs, they kill baby elephants, they kill giraffes, they kill cheetahs, they kill humans, they kill snakes, they kill each other, they kill the young, they kill for sport, they kill for pleasure, they kill for territory, they wreck the dens of other animals.

They have no internal equality in their prides, the strong bully the weak with amazing shows of cruelty, they have tyranny and oppression beyond Stalin's dreams. If a member tries to leave the pride, the others rip it to pieces, and they exist amid almost sexual slavery and chauvinistic misogyny, with males being lazy layabouts, making females do all the work, using them for breeding at their whim. In short lions are like a four-legged version of ISIS!

Males routinely kill other males' cubs. Males routinely kill their own male cubs. Sometimes within the same families even females kill other female's cubs to give her own cubs a better chance of rising to dominance. Watch lions for a while and you'll see they attack each other as a way of life, beating each other down to show which is higher in the pride's ranks.

They are also total Monets: the closer you get to them the less beautiful they are. They are tick-spotted and mangy, and they smell just awful, lying in their own filth (one of the few species that routinely does this), and peeing on one another all the time to show (again) dominance.

Also for all their undeniable strength and prowess they are sloppy hunters, sometimes taking half an hour to suffocate prey to death, preferring not to bite deeply because they might break a tooth.

Lions just suck.

Leopards now, leopards are awesome.

Peter Hathaway Capstick feared hunting a Leopard more than a lion. He even, while agame warden, used a home made armor vest, with a football helmet, to give himself a chance if one of those 'shredders' ever jumped him.

My hair is way, way too long: waiting for the CANSA Shavathon www.shavathon.org.za so that I can get my Jason Statham vibe going on again.  :wink:

As I've gotten older, I find I prefer a short haircut. Back in the day, I was a hippie from Hell. Actually, less than 8 years ago, I had rather long hair. Got tired of it being in my face and mouth. One day, while I was mostly drunk, I broke out my shaving kit and gave myself the shortest haircut I'd had in nearly 45 years and haven't looked back since.

Short hair is definitely easier to take care of!!

My hair is a mop: I am waiting for 25 February so that someone can turn me into Yul Brynner / Telly Savalas / Jason Statham or some bald old lady.  :wink:

Just like if you say a word long enough it begins to sound silly, if you stare at your hand a while it starts looking odd.
