I figured you would have seen it, being much closer to Britain than me, but I didn't want to assume. I am just happy it got over here (US, I mean). I will admit that the dialog was hard to follow in spots, but I loved it! Rewound it alot until I got what they were saying. I get tickled at how the British swear! But by far the best parts were the interaction between Billy and Michael. Each time Michael hit on him, you could see Jamie go through this range of emotion - from angry, to feeling betrayed, to sad, to interested, and finally amused - all in a second! It was all so honest and genuine - and powerful! Anyway, Altima, I have been thinking that I haven't answered your post properly yet. Sure, a part of it was about acting, but most of it was about wanting to be able to express emotions that have been bottled up for a long time. I want to encourage you in this. I can tell that you already know that you need to do this for your own health and happiness. At first, I was at a loss trying to think of suggestions. I used to get to do group therapy and role play. Those things can be great when you are working with people who genuinely care about you and are really good at it. But, what if you are alone in a strange land - what to do? But you are not alone. You have found this place. Have you tried writing your story? I mean writing about all the painful parts - leaving out identifying details, of course. I know its not the same, but it can give you a way to slowly take the cork off that bottle of feelings. I cried every night for a week while I tried to tell my story and then respond to people who answered my posts. It was really difficult, but it was really good for me. Maybe you have already done this and I missed it. Billy: "Do ya think I'd look alright?" Nate |
