Fun With Drama
Area yesterday was good. Very good. We had much of the fun, attending workshops and watching plays. This is what I love about drama club meetings: everyone is just so "Whee! We all love drama! We're crazy! Nice to meet you!" Drama club gatherings are the only place I've ever been where you can literally just start talking to some random stranger and the next thing you know, you're having a great conversation.
I think the highlights of the day were the Stage Fighting workshop and these two plays, "The Audience" and "Sure Thing".
"The Audience" was set up so the actual audience sat on the stage and watched the actors pretending to be the audience at a play.
"Sure Thing" was this play where a guy came into a cafe and started talking to this girl, and everytime their conversation went the wrong way, there'd be a note played on the piano and they'd "reset" to the last good point. This got really funny as some parts just kept going over and over.
"So, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Sorta."
"What's a 'sorta' boyfriend?"
"My husband."
RESET
"What's a 'sorta' boyfriend?"
"We were meeting to break up."
RESET
"What's a 'sorta' boyfriend?"
"My lover. Here she comes now!"
"I'm a straight-ticket Republican."
RESET
"I'm a straight-ticket Democrat."
RESET
"Let me tell you about politics...!"
RESET
"I consider myself a citizen of the universe!"
RESET
"I'm unaffliated."
"So, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Two, actually. One of them's pregnant, and Stephanie...!"
RESET
"So, do you have a girlfriend?"
"No, not anymore. I dumped that castrating bitch."
RESET
"So, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Sorta."
"What's a 'sorta' girlfriend?"
"My mother!"
"So what if I've had full-body liposuction?!"
RESET
"So what if I don't have a penis?!"
RESET
"So what if I spent four years in the Peace Corps?!"
"Do you come here often?"
"I use to...until my nervous breakdown."
I laughed so bad at that play. It was great.
Also, I heard a really terrible, yet funny joke at one of the seminars:
So, there's two muffins in the oven.
The first muffin goes "Man, it's hot in here."
The second muffin goes "AH!! TALKING MUFFIN!!"
I also learned what "color" I am...there are four types of people: Those that can do math, and those that can't. The Greens, the Blues, the Oranges, and the Browns. Browns are good leaders but very set in their ways and fussy. Oranges are easy-going and kinda flaky. Blues are peace-loving, sympathetic and emotional. Greens are quiet and logical.
Apparantly, I'm a Blue.
We were doing an exercise where we pretended to be colors we weren't and in one of them they were stuck in an elevator and Sveta was nine months preganant. She was Orange.
"How far along are you?"
"Nine months. I'm having a girl!"
"Is there any chance you might go into labor?!"
"Omigawd, if I went into labor, I would totally have a girl!"
"Wait, but do you think you might go into labor?!"
"...Nah."
And I met somebody new (not like that; I mean friendly met) and exchanged AIMs. Yeay for meeting new peeps!
