Does anybody else think this is silly?

And Rape Artist, that must be quite a beautiful thing, to have elevated it to the status of art.

I, sir, salute you. From a safe distance.

Are you very good at acting then?

I made a television advert in the summer.

And my teachers suggested that I do it as my job :o

Really? What kind of advert? That's good.

Well, if you do try to make it in acting then make sure you really, really, go for it. Actors and actresses are not in very high demand and unless you're one of the best (or best connected at least) then it looks like it ends up being boring, badly paid and very, very unsecure. Like being a builder, but when you do get a job then you're still paid a pittance.

But if you're extremely good, work extremely hard and get to grips with how the business side works early on, then it could be pretty nice.

Yeah I met a woman in London who said as soon as I get my braces off (June) than I should ring her because she knows lots of people 'in the business'.

Haha the advert was to promote my theatre group. It was a **** advert and only on local TV but it is a start.

Yeah, when you know over 23 techniques in the field of raping, then it truly is an art.

I think that its acceptable to say

"I am a such and such" if you enjou doing it, it makes you happy, its a hobby

But to say I am a professional such and such when your making money flipping burgers is not legit.
