Pon Farr in the Park

[my_daroga]

Yesterday, Mr. Daroga, tkp and myself drove down to Portland to see Trek in the Park, a free, live-action rendition of the episode "Amok Time." Yes, with the "Vulcan biology" and the sexy fighting.

The play was a lot of fun, and there were tons of people. We were late, and only secured a seat through the generosity of a man whose friend didn't arrive

Dude, you look nothing like I'd imagined you! Not that I did much, uh, active imagining or anything, but I literally did a double take and went "surely that can't actually be her"? which I totally didn't get when obstinatrix posted pictures of her new haircut recently

[my_daroga]

Haha, I'm sorry! What did you think I'd look like? I'm just curious.

I'm the short girl one, in case there is confusion. And Mr. Daroga is awesome. He wanted to climb the rock and I said, "wait, would you do something for me? Here. Crouch here. Now, put your hands on this rock..."

I think the Trek in the park might have been better if they'd gone even more campy--I mean they were, but maybe with more ACTING it would have been even funnier.

I think you have a point about the line. I think it does come off as "NO!" like a little kid, you know? Because he says it first, and then she repeats it, and he's all, "un-uh."

I'm sorry I haven't been around much. I've been trying not to RP quite so much and get other stuff done and write some but nothing's been finished lately. Oh, except this thing for obstinatrix about Shatner's package.

The audition is tomorrow night, thanks for asking. I'm trying to get my headshots done today (by Mr. not professionally) and pick out my clothes and work on my monologue.

Uh. I'm so behind on my shatnoy_rpf!!

As I said, I didn't have any particular visual or anything. It's more that you come across as incredibly mature and then in those pictures in particular (less so in your icon), you look so incredibly young that it just threw me. I know that's probably rooted in some kind of stereotype somehow, but I think our brains are just bound to make those kind of (if wrong) associations. I mean, if I'd just seen those pictures of you without any other knowledge of you, I would never have believed you're the same age as my older brother, not, say, five years younger than me. (Okay, I probably would have believed it, it just would have taken some convincing, and lots of me going "Really? Wow

Oh, no worries. I'm just curious, not really knowing how I come off online and all that. Though tkp says I talk all mature and stuff, too. But yeah, I look like that. And dress like that, most of the time. I don't mind looking young.

As Mr. Daroga pointed out, overacting requires acting. Kirk had very few expressions. I didn't want a Shatner impersonation, but something equally dynamic would have been nice. And funny.

Thank you!

I said your voice was mature. I never said you talked mature.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I <3 you.

[my_daroga]

Distinction noted. Half the time I don't know what you're talking about anyway. ;) I thought when you were telling me that you said something about they way I talked not just my voice.
