Wow! There sure are a lot of Aries' on "Lost."

I look forward to your character's development. Too bad about Steve. I'm a returning-to-college-late-in-life-person. I have two teenagers (16-year-old son - who wants to be an actor; 13-year-old daughter - who is a nihilist in training). I'm majoring in art. I studied acting early on. I'd love to do character parts, but I just love color and design. I've done some set design & constructing. Eighteen years before my son was born, I was a secretary. No more! How did you discover you wanted to be an actor? How do you maintain that focus - and sustain yourself when not working? I've got to get a part-time job over the summer, but that cuts into the food stamps, medicaid, child support, etc. But it'll be good for my resume. There's a "Paint a Mural on the wall of the 3rd floor of the Math Building" contest. The prize is $300.00, and they'll reimburse the winner up to $200.00. I'm going to win that contest. Math themes will be a plus. I'm in the lowest possible college math class, but an artist needs to know math. Numbers... Good for the resume.

You're quite a guy, answering all this mail as you do. I look forward to your character's development, and wish you the best!
