A Northern Boy's Seductive Encounter in a Quaint English Village There are many times in life when a person must exit their comfort zone and enter an area of psychological jungle. This area can vary for different people. For example, one common thing that can seem daunting to a lot of people is having to get up in a public place and make an announcement/ monologue/ judgement. It is true, many people find public speaking a daunting thing. I'm one of those people, however, who love it. As long as I'm not myself. You see, the most important thing about me is that I'm a drama student. Now, there are two very obvious pros and cons with being a drama student: the pro is that you are doing something you love greatly full time and at the same time trying to find yourself an agent and, yes, it's all very exciting. The con, however, is that most people react negatively when you introduce yourself as a drama student. Certainly, there are many who get all excited and make a scene and you have to calmly explain to them that, no, you have never met Gary Oldman and in fact you haven't actually starred in any proffessional work to date, but hey, one day... Of course this often completely bursts their bubble and they walk away angry and frustrated at 'this amatuer' having wasted their time. Yes, there are those people. However I often find that most people fit into one of two catagories: 1) the ones that look at you as if to say 'I see, couldn't be bothered doing any real work, could you' and 2) those who look at you as if to say 'you, sir, are a pretentious twat.' I find most fall into the latter catagory when I say it. Anyhow, I certainly am rambling. But what I want to get across is the point that I am very much a stereotypical actor in the sense that I find myself to be such an exceedingly boring person that I only feel really confident when portraying someone else. …the next moment changed everything
