Ok, now that we're all on the same page (ie that you're watching me 🧠), let's chat: -

I wonder if y'all pay as much attention to Gary's life as you do to mine...


It's funny: I don't regret going to Parliament, and I definitely don't regret chasing Chloe -- it was very productive creatively, and I'm more embarrassed about my younger self who wasn't able to express those feelings than my older self who is. She wasn't the only girl I was into. There was plenty of drama in my real life, and I think that the Fantasia probably related to Sarah more than Chloe. - However, I do regret the karaoke tapes etc.: they were fun, but I think people got the wrong impression -- they weren't auditions, and the Fantasia was a complete feature-length film that I was very proud of. If you genuinely invited me into your lives without the false promise of a paycheck, you'd find that I'm quite keen to jam in the corner at parties .. that's why the Daktory was cool. 🎸 - I only say transvestite because old people don't get the whole 'non-binary transfeminine' thing. And no, my script wouldn't improve that... that's liberal people thinking that displaying it on TV would solve all the world's problems. That's utterly ridiculous. That's the sort of self-delusion that media people have: the truth is that very few Kiwis watch TV, and very few Kiwis watch any local content. So, all the SJWs would pat themselves on the back for their 'tolerance', but I bet that all the right-wingers would see it and demonise my lifestyle as they already do... I'd just end up with hate mail in my inbox. I started the prose version this arvo -- I think it was flowing quite well. 🧠👍
