Hw 52 - Lights, Camera, Action

While in the womb we were being downloaded with all the conversational skills that we will ever need. We know just what to say when the time comes and we always have different versions of the same script, just in case plan a doesn't work out.

Take something like meeting someone who could be a potential friend, We have the exact script for that, but as the relationship changes so does the script that we need in order to deal with the situation at hand. Given there are things that might call for an improv act but usually we have got it all under control.

No matter what we will always need people around, we like people; maybe not all the time but most of the time we don't want to be alone. What's the point of a script if it just sits on the nightstand all day? Out purpose is to be social, we want people to see us for who we are so that they in turn like us and continue to want to be around us.

Sometimes we will meet a writer or director that we don't like and don't want to be around. But no matter how much we actually dislike someone else's script we always find ourselves around them because we need to feed of their attention. As shallow or pathetic as that sounds, its true we are like little attention whores (sorry for the harsh term).

Why is that? What makes attention so important? It kinda connects to being single. In movies and media single people seems to like being single because that can mess around with dozens of people without being tied down. So it seems like they could care less about attention, but at the same time they need a different person to adore them every night.

Same goes for relationships and friendships, we gotta get our attention fix anyway that we can no matter the cause. We need to get an agent, get an audition and hopefully get to play a part in someones movie.
