So sorry for the silent treatment, believe me, it was not unkindly meant.
I've simply been extremely busy.
Being a man.
Ha!
Seriously, though, 'Twelfth Night' has taken over my life. I've gotten so deep into it, that I've started zoning out at random moments (much to my family's concern).
What is this 'zoning' I speak of?
Well, from my side, it's like I'm looking at the stage in the 3rd person, viewing myself and whoever else is on stage, and analyzing my movement/actions/speech while I review the lines and blocking in my scenes. It's quite amazing, really, and I've been figuring out a lot of ways to better my role as Viola/Cesario.
From my family's side it looks like I've become completely frozen and can't stop staring at that minuscule knothole on the table-top, while my spaghetti gets cold and they've all moved on to dessert...
Yes, they are concerned.
But me? I'm having the time of my life, and I am SO EXCITED that this is SHOW WEEK!!!
Yeah, that's right - Friday night we have our first performance! Which means that there's rehearsal tonight, dress rehearsals tomorrow and Thursday, and a bunch of family coming this weekend in to see my new persona as a female man. (that did NOT sound right...)
But, just to show you what a mean -
 |
| We tried on our costumes on Friday - this is about as 'manly' as I get, folks. ;) |
 |
| Me and my 'twin' are quite convincing, are we not? Yes, we are having a blast. And in between, I've been thinking about college - Yessir, I ordered my textbooks today! And what do you think? I get to read "The Hobbit" for one of my classes!!! I love my life... Some other books that have me quite delighted - "Hamlet" (script analysis), Perelandra by C.S. Lewis, and that math textbook looks quite tempting...ha! But seriously, I am thrilled about music theory and all theater classes, not to mention the dance classes! But right now, I need to focus, and be the man I need to be. ;) |

By innocence, I swear, and by my youth,
I have one heart, one bosom, and one truth,
And that no woman has, nor never none
Shall mistress be of it save I alone.

Well, God give them wisdom that have it; and those that are fools, let them use their talents.

He is very well-favoured and he speaks very shrewishly; one would think his mother's milk were scarce out of him.
