Tak is a good actor
So, apparently I can fool my own family into thinking that I had an awesome day with ease. My mother thought that I was happy and excited today at dinner, which is funny, because what I was doing was going super fake happy mode. So apparently I can make that mode look totally like I'm in real happy mode. Which is annoying, because it just proves that I can A: act really well and B: lie really well. I suppose the two can, they don't have to, but they can go hand in hand. Even still, it pisses me off just how easily I can lie. Something that I'm not proud of? I'm one of those people, don't know how common they are, who can look you dead in the eyes and lie. I am not proud. Some people probably are. I am not proud of that ability, no matter how much easier it makes my life. Actually, it probably makes my life harder than it would be if I couldn't lie like that.
But today...I didn't exactly have the best day, mostly because I did what I told myself I wouldn't do. I bashed myself up a bit, and it wasn't technically my fault on what I did. Like I said in my voice post, I have the most impeccable timing. So I threw a hissy fit and thought for a while about what someone else said as well. I do push, I am very pushy when it comes to some things. Usually I'm pushy when it comes to giving things, as several people that I know can attest to. But I'm also pushy about knowing things, and I really did have to face that. Its mostly a minor annoyance, and not one that I've heard before, but it is true. Oh well.
While we're on the subject of me acting...I suppose this is where I get to brag. About actual acting. There was one point, freshman year, where I was doing Twelfth Night. Yes, that Shakespearian play. Well...we had done the first two performances, and I had the priest and a few minor roles in those. Then I'm sitting there and the guy playing Sebastian, a guy that I might rant about in the future...Dempsey. So, he's talking about how he's not going to be able to do the last performance. Oh. So apparently the director didn't know about this before, even though he told her, and suddenly we have a week to find someone to do Sebastian. Guess who did it? Me. Took me one week to memorize a part that I didn't know that I would have to do. Did a fairly good job...key word is fairly, I still think that I didn't pull it off nearly as well as I could have.
Then again, I memorize nearly ever damn line in the play. At some points you will find me spouting someone else's lines before they do. Or reminding them of what they are. Sophmore year I damn near saved the fucking play because we had done something like this. Part one we did...skip to part three. Run through all of part three. I bring us back to part two so that it all makes sense. Skip past part three when it no longer makes sense. Oh yea. That and I got to be a psychotic general who goes insane because he thinks his dead wife is coming for him. A few minutes later I get a knife in my back.
End of sophmore year, its Guys and Dolls. Don't ask me why I was in a musical, I don't know myself. Anyways, apart from that, I had to memorize a part in thirty minutes. That was fun. The guy got suspended for drinking vodka and we found out that he couldn't do it. So I had thirty minutes to memorize the part. Apart from the fact that I can't do a gangster part, it went off without a hitch.
Oh, and originally I was comic relief in everything, I gotta love being typecast.
