Let's get the intoductions out of the way.

So... yeah. I'm Jacquie.
Whether it's a defense mechanism or something bordering on schizophrenia or just the result of my whimsical mind, I've always had this interesting habit...

Occasionally when I'm bored or generally doing something that doesn't need to hold my attention, I come up with a story, put myself in a situation. Sometimes- usually- I end up acting some of it out. When I was young it was almost constant. I was talking to God, watching my life. I was an astronaut. I was a doctor curing a crippling illness. I was a news anchor. I was being interviewed. I was a singer. I was an actress (and they were still called actresses then!). I never felt unfulfilled because I was everything I wanted to be with a touch of imagination.

Of course, I have to live in reality a *little* bit more now, But it sure doesn't stop me from living out imaginary lives, assuming imaginary identities... I may not write daily, and I may not always write about such vivid fantasies. But I'll try to keep my real life out of it...

Today

Today I was acting in a play. Or a movie. I switched off. My character was a girl in her early twenties trying to earn a living by housecleaning. Secretly, though, she wanted to sing and dance. It was her dream, but she wasn't brave enough to pursue it.
Every day she'd go to clean house and she'd bring music with her, a great and varied play list dominated by energetic songs. She'd then sing and dance while cleaning, occasionally getting a few hard-to-explain injuries, such as when she smashed both kneecaps on the counter top. When the homeowners came home, the wife- a high society type woman- scoffed at the music she heard. The man, however, was more laid back and down to Earth. He mentioned to his wife that they knew someone in the musical industry and they could help the girl out with her dream. After a slightly heated conversation between the couple, they helped her.

So today ended happily. Believe it or not, it doesn't always. And sometimes I think I don't even have control over the ending. But she story entertained me for several hours of dialogue and singing.
