freedom

You should know, I’m writing this after spending a day of writing an exam and coming home to do more continuous studying. I’ve said this time to time, and I am just realizing it again now, I never ever want to work an office or repetitive job

My mind feels like it’s going to explode and I just want to be freed and released from having to do all of these things that I don’t want to do. But I’m lucky, I get to do an exam and be over with it. But imagine having to do this for a living: getting up in the morning to go to work and hating your life while you’re there, wondering what the purpose of your existence is if you hate what you do every day, and then coming home, going to sleep and having to do it over and over again.

Bottom line is, follow your dreams. You may be poor, you may not have a place to sleep, but all is better than being trapped and doing something you hate.

Renovations!

Hey guys! Obviously you’ve already noticed that my blog looks quite different, and I’ve added many new features with much much more to come!
Hang in there, the renovations should only take up until June 23, so that’s less than 2 weeks.
I hope you guys like what I want to do with this blog, and if you have any huge ideas, list them below.
Think big! I know I am!

The price of beauty

What makes humans (homo sapiens)  unique? One of the things, is our love and desire to be beautiful and see beautiful things. We simply treasure beauty and whether we realize it or not, spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars to look beautiful. I came across this thought in the shower, weirdly enough. I thought, "how much money do I spend a year on my appearance?" "Do I spend more than $100?" Which seems funny to some people, that spend thousands in just a month on things like extensions and surgical procedures.
Why do we spend all that money to look good?
What would we look like if we didn't care?
What would society look like if we all didn't care?
How much do YOU think you spend?

Shadiness of the modelling industry

A few days ago, I somehow came across a photo of a beautiful girl who's name was Ruslana Korshunova. I googled her name to find out exactly who and what she was, because her pictures looked familiar.
The shocking thing is that google told me this (at the time) 20 year old model committed suicide by jumping off of her 9th story New York apartment.
I found conspiracy theories suggesting that she got pushed because she wanted to leave the modelling industry but the "mafia" wouldn't let her. I honestly just laughed at this. Then, people were saying the New York Underground World puts models in a position of prostitution and there are "creepy rich men" that pay these girls so that they can afford to live in New York. Once again, I laughed it off,
Kind of confused about all of this, I asked a Russian model Valeria Sokolova, if she thought this was true or if she ever experienced this. She herself said that this was all imaginary stuff that people make up.
Tying this off, I'd like to remind you guys that you should always always always read  the contracts you are given to sign. When your agency gives you a contract, take it to a lawyer!! Be aware of what you promise people and don't skip it just because of excitement. I made this mistake two years ago when I skimmed through the Camp Rock 2 confidentiality agreement... ya, let's say if you know what happened (shh) if you don't, lets never mention it again! :)

Have you ever heard any stories of models and actors who are apart of some secret contract or agency?

Fame is Overrated

I recently came across a statistic that claimed that 51% of high school students stated their overall goal in life was to become famous. Shocking? To me, it wasn't necessarily a surprise, but imagining that over half of my school considers their goal to become famous, kind of made me realize just how many people are really affected by the media. We tend to think celebrities have it all, but what is funny is that these celebrities hide in their homes from paparazzi, get tired of interviews and dismiss any questions, and are practically stalked and analyzed for the rest of their lives. Something I learned recently (which is based on a psychological study), is that kids that want to be famous have a history of being ignored or not given much attention at home or school. Apparently, this belief is not progressing onto the idea that all YouTubers are not given attention, but of course i'll have to deny that too haha.
So is wishing to become famous unrealistic and hopeless? My opinion? It can be.
I would say absolutely, but then again there's people like Spencer Pratt that feed off of fame and enjoy it in every narcissistic way possible.
I think if you do something you love, and do it for the passion- that can definitely make people like you, therefore bringing you fame.
I don't think being famous is something people should look to be, I think respect is so much more important.
Being a respected and passionate actor, is sooo much better than just being a "famous" actor.
Think of it this way- would you rather be famous but disrespected Rebecca Black, or less-famous but talented musician?

back on the bandwagon

Such an old saying, I know. but I feel like I'm getting old, not uploading videos for weeks.
If you're following my twitter, www.twitter.com/thatsophiakid, I'd assume you know I'm horribly sick
Even worse, I woke up this morning... with no voice. Should I take up American Sign Language or something because I swear, I need to film this video!
But besides me telling you guys all this kind of stuff, I want some requests!

What are some things you would like confirmed or explained about the industry? More about auditions? More about Disney? More about Acting Scouts and when they have these huge go-sees? 

Theatre Show Review from last night (and technique)

Last night, I volunteered at a theatre that wasn't so local, but still around me somewhat
Basically, it was amazing. Not in the way they used props (they didn't use any) or any of that fancy stage equipment lights or stuff, it was so classic and you had to use your imagination to understand it
And that was what made it so powerful, the fact that the actors focused on making people  believe that they were in a certain position. They didn't change clothes at all, and they played like 5 different characters, simply changing one to another by doing an action.
So let that be kind of a trial thing, try to look in a mirror and try to be as many characters as you can by changing personalities, stories and accents :)
Let your imagination go wild, (and film it if you can and put it on youtube for me to see ) ;)

Magazines are bad?

I just watched a video where some philosopher said magazines and pictures of people living a "greater" life are bad for you because they make you (subconsciously) feel bad about yourself.
What do you think?
Personally I love fashion editorials and I like the beauty and cultural aspect of it, not so much of a "oh i wish I looked like that" kind of thing... but then again, I trust smart people haha

WHERE IS SUMMER?

There are around 132 days until summer for me... and might I say that I am so ready for it. I keep putting together outfits that would only work in the summer, and yesterday I walked outside and wanted to cry from how cold it was. Oh but the dreaded march month... I hate March. I feel like mother nature is taunting humans in March. It's hot one day, and you finally get excited to go out in  a sweater, and then the next day it's snowing. All the snow is melted one day and you get so happy, and the next it's all back. April is getting good, May is amazing, and June is just indescribable. February is one of my worst months too, I always get really antisocial and do stuff really out of my character... seriously why is there even a winter? I don't see a benefit to society or the earth. That was my rant.
Fini.

Picture taken by me, in the glorious month of may..

stop hating people, stop hating

Why put somebody down because they're trying to do their own thing?
Why put somebody down because of the way they look? They were born that way, and everybody is beautiful.
Why would you try to make someone feel less than you? There are better ways to raise your confidence.
It's gross, just gross and annoying when I see people trying to put others down for doing their own thing, for being different or for being unique.
Haters should be everybody's motivators :)
Don't embarrass yourselves haters, some can see right through you and see nothing but insecurities.

Partnered

Have you noticed? If you go on my homepage, you can tell I've been fully parented!
And let me tell you.. the first thing I did was get rid of these dreaded thumbnails.. haha
Youtube has now become all the more fun, and I have two videos already uploaded to my channel, set on private that I'm going to upload one at a time.
If you have requests, youtube inbox me!! Or just leave me a comment on here haha

formspring

Hello :) I got a question today, about why I deleted my formspring. And I thought I really needed to write about it, instead. Let's just say, I really don't like formspring. At first it can be fun, getting asked irrelevant questions. However, you never get asked the questions you want to be asked, instead you get asked stuff that pushes your buttons, or doesn't interest you. Also, where did mystery go? Isn't it more fun to get to know somebody only by what you see, and not know what really goes on in their life? Formspring just lets people in on your life too close. In my opinion at least. So, I deleted it, and I didn't get it back, nor do I want it back.
What are you thoughts on formspring?

Macarons?

Today's post has a little bit of absolutely nothing to do with acting. I actually wanted to know, have any of you tried macarons? Because I've seen them around the internet and they looked amazing. I honestly could not even imagine how they would taste, but now that I've tried them, I would describe it as a sweet-crispy-jelly that is stiff... in other words, amazing. I know my pictures are not the best in the world, but I did manage to take some. For some reason, the ones my mom bought were almost 3 dollars a piece, and really really small. I thought they were suppose to be pretty decently big, but apparently, they're tiny. Right now, I want to go to Laduree in Paris and eat every macaron in the store.. I would.
Macarons anybody? ;)

Oh hey there!

Blogging has to be my favorite hobby ever, and since it's really annoying to have to do it with html, I decided to kick my old website and just create a blogger.
All of my old pages are still here, the downloads, everything! (except the ask me and request video page.. because I was getting overwhelming amounts of emails)
So here, I will pretty much blog everyday. Don't expect acting posts though, I might post how my day was, or things I want to do, anything really.
But if you have a tumblr, I have one too and you should follow me ;) foreverended.tumblr.com
but on there, I post complete nonsense haha
So I hope you guys like my new blogger, maybe this is easier for you to follow everyday, maybe not.
But I'm keeping this.
Oh, and thanks for 1,700 subs! I love you!
