Good afternoon, everyone! *posts from her World History lecture*
Actually, in my theatre class, yes.
We had a mini discussion about WHY people were taking the class, just of the professor's curiosity. The discussion got to the intimacy of film versus that of theatre - with the invention of the close-up and such high tech film techniques. Anyway, I always have and probably always will feel that theatre is far more intimate, because those are real people there with you, experiencing the feelings with you as they create them. The physicality and the immediacy of theatre make it such, for me at least. We were talking about the types of performances that give that emotional immediacy, where the audience is brought in and has that moment of true feeling - all I thought of was how I feel when I see Raul on stage - in something as jarring and life altering as The Normal Heart was, and even in Chitty.
Okay, I definitely have the "Emcee Syndrome." All during second period (French class), all I could think about was Raul. We had a fire drill and as we were walking outside I did this wierd kind of skip thing and I was grinning like an IDIOT. My friend asked me what was up and I just said "I'm just thinking about...Broadway. It makes me happy." I am seriously contemplating thinking about him during Senior portraits tomorrow, because I can NEVER smile for pictures. Maybe it will work...
I had a scary experience earlier today, so I have to share because I'm still a bit shaky. We were eating dinner and I was eating my soup. Somehow, a square piece of plastic about the size of a quarter (a bit smaller) got in my soup and I swallowed it. Well, I tried to swallow it, but couldn't, and it was stuck in my throat and I couldn't get it out. I wasn't "choking," because I could still kind of breathe, but I could not swallow. I was like that for what felt like forever, but I think it was only about 1-2 minutes. I kept coughing and I kind of poked my throat and it FINALLY came out. It was REALLY scary, because it's the closest I've ever come to choking.
That may have been too much information...
Yikes!
Plastic is just all around bad. Bad for the environment, bad for fishies, bad for eating. My throat still hurts.
Anyway, Raul. Yes. He is very artistic.:-P And he has amazing eyes. (I can never say it enough times.)
