Remember how I said I was going to stop assigning myself projects until I could handle them? That's one of those things that I say knowing I don't mean it, kind of like "I'm going to be more productive this year" and "I swear to God I will never drink again." I got an e-mail about cold readings for the campus production of the Vagina Monologues today. I love the show, and although I haven't been onstage for years, I secretly miss it.
"Andy," I asked, "I'd be crazy to add another activity, right?" Knowing something was up, he asked what activity. "Talk me out of auditioning for the Vagina Monologues," I said.
"Actually, I think you should go for it," he replied.
One reason I love my first mate so much is that he realizes that half of the time I ask to be talked out of something, I'm really waiting for someone to talk me into it. He reserves the right to talk me back out if I can't handle the schedule, but as it stands, I have an audition on Wednesday or Thursday. Wish me luck and judgment, people. God knows I naturally lack both of them.
Yay! Glad to hear you're getting into theatre again! Let me (us) know how the audition turns out!
ReplyDeleteSing out, Louise!!!! In other words, GO FOR IT!
ReplyDeleteMy little heart swells with pride...
If I had a nickel for every time I said I'll never drink again, I'd have fifty cents.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your projects; you have the mettle to see them through awesomely.
