GET OFF MY BACK!

"What are you in right now?"
"I have 73 shows this month"
"What have you been auditioning for?"
"Are you SAG AFTRA yet?"

Blah. Blah. Blah.

This may come as a surprise to you. But, sometimes, I just want to be a regular person around regular people who talk about regular things. Like everyday life. I don't want to talk about my career and the auditions or shows or parts that I may or may not be getting.

Have you ever had functions after work that you dreaded going to because you knew that once you got to the function, everyone was just going to be TALKING ABOUT WORK? Like, excuse me Barb, I am on my second glass of wine, the last thing I want to do is talk about the emails that stressed me out this morning. Hell, Barb need to chill.

I get it, some folks are just genuinely wondering how everything is going with you. While on the other hand, those other folks just want to make sure they're staying one step ahead of you. Over the years, I've learned to tell the difference. I used to feel the need to bite off the heads of anyone that asked about my career.

Them: "Hey Brit! How's the acting coming along? Any luck yet?"
Me: "I'M FREAKING TRYIN! OK?!?!"

To those folks that genuinely wanted to know how everything was going: I am so sorry. I'm not myself when I'm hungry or when I'm stressing out about my career or when I'm trying to get my life together before I turn 30. My bad, I be tripping.

To those people that just want to be nosy: Why don't ya'll get ya'll some business? I promise, when I get this career popping, ya'll will be the first to know.

Lil ugly selves.

Family, the moral of the story is, Do you want me to ask you about your job every time I see you? "Any new stocks?" or "What cases are you solving now?" or "Any weird patients lately?" take a second and imagine that. I know, to the next person, we as artists seem to be living this fun, exciting, life on the edge, but to us, it's work. And this work doesn't come easy. Hell, that's IF it comes at all. (That's what she said. Sorry, I'm immature sometimes.) It's like this, if I've got something going on, I'll let you know. Don't worry.

That being said, get ready for AINTBRITFUNNY dot com in 2018! There are a lot of new things that I will be sharing with you with the re-launch of my site and I am so very excited about it all! Please stay tuned in with me! Ya'll know I got a regular job and branding yourself costs money. I'm going as fast as I can!

I love ya'll and appreciate your support. Don't second guess that. But dang, get off my back.

Glad we had this talk, let's hug it out!
