<p>NMR,
True. With a snowball effect at that! Seems like Michael thinks I was belittling Sooz with my first two responses to her. I didn’t intend that at all. I was just busy - and sick with a bug now going around my class - and didn’t have time or energy to engage in a lot of verbiage. So, in turn, he made a sarcastic post ridiculing what I thought was a perfectly reasonable hypothesis and I returned fire. I really should have just let it go, but it did rub me the wrong way. </p>
<p>Sooz,
And, given our history, I was surprised that you thought I was casting aspersion on other paths. After all this time, you should know that’s not my style! LOL In my comment about liberal arts, I was just expressing how I - and many others - feel about having to be bothered with them while engaged in intensive training. It wasn’t supposed to be a blanket statement for everybody although I can see how it could have been interpreted that way given the statement preceding it.</p>
<p>Now here’s something else that might surprise you. I don’t think you really intend it, but the way some of your posts read, one could come to the conclusion that all those extra hours spent in conservatory acting, voice & speech, and movement classes don’t count for much in building one’s skills as an actor. If I were sure that’s what you meant, I would be a bit insulted. As it stands, I only find it slightly frustrating and perhaps some of that has come through in the tone of some of my previous posts on this thread. </p>
<p>
See … That’s a problem for me. I no longer have the time for that. If/when I decide to engage in conversations here - especially when it’s on a controversial topic- I guess It’ll generally need to be when I’m on break.</p>
<p>Must be back in class in … five minutes.</p>
