Drama, drama, and more drama...

Why, oh why do I love ellipses? I don't really know...

So, my laptop crashed Friday evening. It was the most frustrating, irritating, crippling experience of the past couple of months...I live on my laptop. I guess that means that I need to live more in the real world...

And yes, it is officially fixed. Actually, like new again. I had the blue screen of death...yea...that bad. Luckily, the only thing I lost were my Web page bookmarks. I'll discuss the laptop story in full later...

So, I'm in another show. It's fun and Halloween-themed. I like...only problem: I'm hurting myself physically every night! So, here's the deal: I bruise easily. I also try to live in the moment of the scene. I forget about all other things that are not directly involving me or the scene I'm in...I can't help it. It's a good thing, and I guess, a bad thing. See, in this first scene, I'm tied up to a chair. I'm unconscious, and I try to break free. So, I struggle. I struggle against the ropes and the chair. I can't get free, or I'm not supposed to. So, I fighting really hard...against myself. I never win. Then, the bruises come. Currently, I look like I have gigantic birthmarks on both my arms that spread out in weird patterns. Last week, one arm was bruised just appropriately that I looked like a heroine junkie. Last night was the first night that they actually started to hurt...

So, I'm fine. The cast feels horrible, thinking they've done this to me. It's all me, folks! My friend K called me a "method bitch" last night. I'm not really method, I just am in the moment of the scene...whatever! Anyway, I can't go out of the house without long sleeves on because people freak out. They see a hint of a bruise and they think I'm the victim of domestic violence. You think I'm joking? It's really funny to watch people as they take in my handiwork.

Anyway, I've got the day off from school and rehearsal and everything else. Gym time in about an hour, and then to bed early...laptop story to be continued...
