You probably haven't heard, but I'm in Theater I. I've been scared out of my pants for the past few days because our first graded assignment has been to do a pantomime by ourselves on stage in front of thirty classmates. When I have to stand up in front of people for a research paper of some sort by myself and as myself, I get terrified and shake uncontrollably, usually forgetting most of what I'm supposed to do. I thought the same would happen here, since never before have I had to do something in a Drama class all by myself. It's always been in a group.
A pantomime is when you act out a story with a conflict without any props or scenery and without making any noise whatsoever. That only added to my fear because of the complete silence of the spectators whenever someone performed...
However, I performed today, got in zero postion (putting your head down before a performance), looked up and I couldn't see anyone from the audience. I built an imaginary wall between the stage and the audience, a wall that in theater term is called the fourth wall, and I actually saw the TV I was supposed to be playing the video game on. I actually felt like the power went off, I grabbed the flashlight and turned the power back on, went back to play my video game and went back into zero position. Despite how horrible I thought I had done, the whole audience broke out into applause.
I was thrilled. Everyone gave me outstanding critique saying how they actually believed me. They actually GOT that the power went out, every one of them. I was sure they wouldn't get that part. The only problem, as Ms. Byorick stated, was that I forgot to set the controller down. The only problem. I got straight 5's throughout that assignment (5 is the highest you can get, and it also means "outstanding" wink , and I find myself craving the applause.
So I'm thinking, maybe being an actress would do me good? You never know.
Oh, and I also found Cloud online. Cake gave me his profile. Look at my friendslist. He just joined today so his clothes sorta, erm, suck...but good Lord, does he act like him...
heart *girly sigh* heart
*slaps self* ANYhow, he knew me before I met him in Towns because ironically enough, he had my "Why Cloud and Sephiroth are NOT gay!" video in his profile. Interesting, huh? He also called me "awesome". EEE~!
Yeah, I'll stop now XD
Oh, and I changed my eyes, if you couldn't tell. They freak me out. I think I might change it back if anyone notices and doesn't like it. Because I keep staring at my avatar and staring and staring and I keep getting...freaked out. STOP STARING AT MEH, GAWD!
