Please cross your fingers

Because I have an acting audition with a not BIG big deal theatre company here but a really awesome second tier theatre here to be a PAID understudy to a supporting role on the first show of their season. Which means it is totally likely that I could get that job and never actually act.

But it would be an awesome experience, and it is for the Sarah Ruhl play In the Next Room (or the Vibrator Play) so please cross fingers, and certainly at least pray that I totally don't screw it up.

Crossing all my fingers and toes. :) (It'll work retroactively, right?)

Good luck! :)

I just stumbled upon an entry you wrote a couple years ago - http://plentyofknowledgeuselessdegree.blogspot.com/2009/07/i-hate-that-my-boyfriend-smokes.html I just want to say, I am going through the same thing. My boyfriend smokes too, and I HATE it. Like you, I started out dating a non-smoker. He did not smoke for the first 2 years we were together. Then it started (because all his friends do). I feel cheated, and he doesn't seem to respect my feelings about it. He kept telling me he quit, and then I would find out that he's still doing it. It drives me crazy. I know he's addicted now so it's not easy for him to quit, but I still have resentment toward him for smoking, even though I love him with all my heart (and we've been together almost 5 years now).

Britney I feel your pain I really do. My fiancee still has not quit smoking. I HATE it. He says he hates it. He still smokes. He has done some trying to quit smoking things lately and abandoned them right as he was almost quit. At this point, I just live with it. I don't have a better solution. I can love him despite it. I do believe he will quit eventually but even if he doesn't I can still do this. As long as he never smokes in our apartment/home and as long as he stays a relatively low volume smoker (less than half a pack a day, if he was like two packs a day this might have to be over). Only you can know what your breaking point is, but I would recommend making your point very very VERY clearly to him one big final time (maybe that has already happened) and getting off his back entirely about it because you need to make the choice to accept it and not let it destroy your happiness or not and if you cannot accept it you need to move on to some one else. Fretting and fighting about it will only lead to no good.
