Okay, we're going to start with Math. As much as I dislike the Maths, this equation doesn't have numbers. Just awesomeness.
Fame + Me = Meryl Streep + Lady Gaga
It's science. Fact.
It's no secret that, while I love my day job, I have ambitions of pursuing a career in the field where my degree lies... I want to be an actress! (the last part is best said melodramatically)
But I don't just want fame, I want a Career! I want to work because I love acting and I want to make movies that don't just get tweens in a frenzy. No, I want to make people think. I want my work to have an impact on those who watch it. I want to win an Oscar.
I was talking to my friend Laura about all this. I told her that I wanted to be famous and she said that I would be awesome and super cool like Lady Gaga. I was stoked. That was a total compliment. She told me I would be super focused on my art like her, and able to rock a wicked style. Nice! As we continued talking we both realized that I couldn't be just like Gaga... not that I would want to copy her or anything, but in terms of awesomeness. So we came up with Lady Gaga mixed with Meryl Streep... omg, that is my dream combo of life! Have a hint of that Natalie Portman, went to university and got a degree, mixed in there. Not in tabloids all the time. Somehow mixing the badassness of Gaga and that ability to stand out always and be a true artist, with the respect and talent and hard work that Meryl has for her amazing acting career.
Laura was like "I can totally picture you as that. If you were famous you'd be awesome... and then I'd tell people that I know you." It'd be basically me now, but uber famous with sweet movies and the best closet ever. I'd also totally dip my toes in the music world... not in a 'I want to make a CD' way, but in a 'I want to collaborate and do a song or two with several different awesome artists' (DWW, Drake, Justin Beiber and Drake (cuz that would just be ridiculous) timbaland (everyone does it), Gaga?, basically any Canadian band that I think is awesome and wants to work with me, and then others who also live up to the awesome standards)... I've totally thought this through...
insomnia, gift or curse?
