wow....well, it's been a while, hasn't it? so much crazy stuff happeining, so little energy to write about it all. ok...hmmmm....i did my monologue last week for my acting class. i guess it went pretty well, but i could have done a lot better. what i could have done, i don't really know, but i know it could be better. i wasn't nervous or anything. i just know that as soon as i was walking back to my seat, i was saying "well, that sucked." i've been having trouble really feeling the character and the monologue....my character is a widowed 50 year old with 2 children. i, obviously, am not. but when i thought more about it, i realized that i didn't really have to think about acting 50 years old. i just had to get the essence of the monologue across to the audience. but i didn't even do that very well. christian said that i needed to be louder, and that i was holding stuff back. i guess she's right. when i was making a collage about the monologue as part of my homework, i was definetly felling some stuff, but i held it back. i guess it felt silly to freak out about it. but you know what's really weird? ever since i started working on the monologue, i've been acting like a mother to people. i mean nagging and lecturing them, ironing andre's pants, voluntarily washing dishes without making any complaints (a true rarity).....it's been bizarre. i'm guessing that it might be part of my character that's been affecting me. maybe it is, maybe it isn't. it was just something that i noticed. as far as the monologue goes, i have a chance to do it again tomorrow (today, whatever). i haven't had much of a chance to do more work on it, but i guess i'll go ahed and try it again anyway. who knows, maybe i'll be able to move some "blocks." ok kiddies, i'm gonna go now. sorry it's been forever since my last entry, and sorry that i had to bore you with my boring acting class stuff. i'm using this thing as my journal for that class, and i have to write more about the class every now and then. g'nite dearies, catch ya on the flip side.
With the brokeness...
That's how I'm rollin' right now. With the brokeness. Thank god for ramen noodles and chicken nuggets. Just finished spending my paycheck before I've even gotten it...on bills. ::sigh:: But there are happy things to look forward to! Andre is coming down to visit tomorrow because he's a lucky bastard who gets a 5 day weekend thanks to teachers' convention and Veterans' Day. But I guess I'm really the lucky one because I get to see him for a few days. And yesterday I got a call from another one of my awesome friends in Chicago who wants to come visit in December. Between that and the fact that the weather has turned absolutely gorgeous, I'm starting to see a few of the benefits of living down here in Florida. Except for the fact that I'm broke all the time. But then again, how many of you can say that you went to the beach last weekend? That's what I thought. So there. Ok...have to finish cleaning and then I have to put gas in my car (thank god...
