Everywhere

You know how sometimes you hear a word you've never heard before and suddenly you hear it everywhere? Something like that just happened to me.

If you've read my previous posts I've been auditing acting classes. After one of the first ones I audited I Googled the instructor's name and also looked them up on IMDB. It turns out this person has the same name as an actor who was in a pretty popular movie when they were a child - one of those movies that is a pop culture icon. I knew it wasn't the same person because I knew some of the instructor's credits.

A few weeks later I'm in class and someone was assigned a monologue from that pop culture icon movie. Someone asks who played the character. No one knew so I looked it up on IMDB (love my iPhone!) and it turns out it's the actor that has the same name as the instructor.

Cut to about a month later and I'm telling someone about the class I audited. They asked who taught it and when I said the name they tell me their related to this person. It's a somewhat common name and the person has the same last name so I guess that they're making a joke because someone in their family has that name. I say there's more than one person and that one was in the pop culture icon movie. They're like, yeah, that's who I'm related to. They know it's not the same person because their relative isn't acting anymore.

Weird! Maybe this is a sign I should be taking this class, lol.

I was supposed to have made my decision right now which class I'm going to take. A minor wrench got thrown into the plan (something that didn't have to do with me) that had me put off my decision until next week. I'm 99% sure I know what I'm doing but have more audit next week and then I can make my final decison.
