I wanna date an actress.

[Bicoastal]

I can't help it. As a musician, I've been surrounded by performers for most of my young life. As a composer and writer, I've had the opportunity to work with some.

Goddammit, what is it about them? They look amazing, and they're usually incredibly brave, and their lives have the inherent drama to them I find so compelling.

I wanna date an actress. Now.

1. You should TOTALLY date Jennifer Aniston!

[Bicoastal]

2. She doesn't have to be a FAMOUS actress. Sheesh.

Just someone who loves the stage.

4. all other things being equal

wouldn't a rich, beauitful one be preferable?

3. you do NOT! trust me

I'm a musician too. Stay away from the theater people at all costs. Run away, if need be. You should also be skeptical of singers - they're half way there already.

5. I was surrounded by dancers on the US Carnival Fantasy...

...what about them?

8. dancers are different

dancers are your friend - and hot too.

6. I did, on and off for two decades.

Let's just say the drama was as addictive as it was toxic. Every time, we'd manage to stay together for a few months, before flying apart in an almighty conflagration. Yet the attraction remained, so months or years later, we'd collide again, only to fly apart like splitting atoms. The whole thing was exhausting and exhilirating, and always a very bad idea.

But I'm all over that now. I think.

7. Ah, I think I'm young and unencumbered enough to enjoy something like that.

But who knows.
