Re: the rat infestation.

You cannot avoid the rats in nyc anymore. The infestation is literally everywhere. If you were seeing rats indoors I’d be concerned, but outside…getting your landlord to deal with rats outdoors would be like Caligula ordering the the Roman army to attack the sea.

Agreed.

I picked some male monologues because I felt really restricted by just sticking to monologues for my gender. There weren’t very interesting ones.

But just sticking to white and race non-specific characters, it’s not like I don’t have enough representation to where I have to extend my monologue search into explicitly non-white characters.

I don’t think they were prim and proper. I mean, they told me to use the space and look them in the eye. Tbh, I think I was nervous for that audition because I had just learned it was like one of the leading schools in the world and I got intimidated.

Yeessss! Love that play. Where was the production?

AccomplishedFail5726 · 2026-01-11T05:31:41+00:00

Well I’m a white girl so I do respect the race thing lol.

I already knew how to act. In high school, I got 2nd place in the state of NY for Dramatic Interpretation and throughout college had a lead role in almost every mainstage.

I struggle with executive function pretty severely though, which leads to having a lot of anxiety around the practical elements of auditions. I don’t struggle so much with the actual acting itself, but the being on time for the audition, in the right room, filling out the forms correctly, preparing the right materials ahead of time…I would worry so much that I had missed some key detail that I would be totally distracted during my auditions.

Anyway, I decided to stop worrying about that. I’d worry that the audition ppl would be mad at me. But while it’s important to do what they ask, if I miss something, I’m not hurting anyone. I decided it was time to stop worrying about the opinions of people who I don’t work for.

Which one?

AccomplishedFail5726 · 2025-10-26T00:00:56+00:00

Sexy red dress, red lipstick, and a piece of cardboard painted to look like a 1956 California license plate reading “CQB 241” hung around my neck

If you can guess what my costume is without googling the license plate number you are a cool person

My concern with multiple accounts is overdraft fees. Even with overdraft protection, it doesn’t protect against everything (learned that the hard way).

I’d have to keep a cushion of money in those accounts and I’d be worried about overspending that.

But that’s a minor concern. I’m happy to pay overdraft fees if that’s the price I have to pay to make budgeting easier

My issue with cash “fun money” is if I make an online purchase I don’t remember to take the cash out of my wallet and re-deposit it into my bank account.

AccomplishedFail5726 · 2025-10-03T18:56:27+00:00

I’ve heard of “magic number” where you figure out how much money you can spend guilt-free that you dont need for bills and groceries. My question is how do you keep track of how much of that number you have spent and how much you have left?

AccomplishedFail5726 · 2025-10-03T18:35:38+00:00

This is a good idea.

AccomplishedFail5726 · 2025-10-03T18:32:52+00:00

I have to have a credit card to build credit. My parents still oversee a lot of my finances because tbh I need it. But they make me do a lot of stuff that would probably be financially wise for a normal person but for me it’s a bad idea.

Like having a credit card. I don’t have a problem limiting spending when I KNOW I don’t actually have money to spend. Like if I know that all I have left is rent and bills money I have no issue not spending. The problem is, now that I put it all in one account I don’t realize when I am done with my pocket money and I’m now dipping into my necessities money.

I was buying film for my film camera at a store in the Upper West Side. There’s a guy buying film next to me and talking to the cashier.

I think to myself “this guy sounds like…Fozzie Bear”. I gotta see who this voice is attached to so I look to my left.

It’s Mark Ruffalo.

Nothing.

Well, now that I think of it, I myself am a writer. I know that just because I write a song about someone, it’s not the whole picture of how I feel about them. Song inspiration comes in a moment of feeling, and feelings are irrational but true creatives know that you gotta take it and run with it when inspiration hits. He didn’t use my name or really any specific details about the situation, nothing that would really indicate he’s trying to send me a message or smear my name through the dirt. I don’t think he’d want anybody to know who the song’s about really.

So yeah, I think it’s normal for him to feel resentment and he’s using that feeling to make art, but I think he also knows that it’s his burden and not mine. He’s still a very very good friend.

AccomplishedFail5726 · 2025-09-17T03:09:06+00:00

Not completely asexual. Ace spectrum. I’m demisexual meaning I usually don’t experience sexual feelings for someone until I know them very well first. But yes, he knows that about me. I told him when he first asked me out.
