regarding scripts -- don't. I mean, if you're at all capable of working without them, don't. work from an outline and keep track of the important details to mension. or any clever joekes you come up with. But, don't work fro ma script. it will jsut make you sound wooden.
Practice your speech a couple of times. make sure you don't say it the same way every time. learn to imprvise a bit.
if you're taking footage and recordign a voice over, you might wnat to consider recording all of yoru attempts and splicing it together after the fact for the 'best' sounding audio.
Most of all, jsut relax and try to be natural. Pretend you're trying to explain something to a friend. A dear friend who you like very much but has for the first time said "I am unsure I like shampoo anymore. How do I do this... no poo thing..?"

Re: the Geek culture link. Ugggh, when I saw that "brilliant" image on my facebook I immediately wanted to create a graphic containing images of women from pop culture who aren't generally sexualized in their portrayals (like Ellen Degeneres, Betty White, etc.) and contrast it with a series of images of hyper-sexualized women from Geekdom. But I knew that image would derail from the point, too (also I don't use facebook that way). We don't need a "what is better, pop culture or geek culture?" debate--both have their merits and faults--we need a conversation about what it means to be a woman in our society and how examples from both pop culture and geek culture can empower or disenfranchise women.
In the end I figured it was better to let the stupid alone. The person who had posted it wouldn't have responded well to an attempt at a dialogue about the subject and I try not to engage in battles of wit with unarmed opponents (I'm so nice ).
I'd like to add that my gut-reaction image was to point out the cherry-picking aspect of the image, not to further the slut-shaming agenda. Part of my reasoning in not making the image was because I recognized problematic interpretations associated with it.
That woman ... that's horrible. I've experienced losing both my children. Scott wandered away when I was distracted by a phone call and made it to the neighbor's house where a new septic was being dug. He was about 2-1/2 and extremely fascinated by heavy machinery. The backhoe operator drove him home. He'd gotten 1/2 a mile away in less than 10 minutes. Nick got away from me at the county fair two summers ago, wandering out of the opposite door of the poultry building when he was bored with me having a conversation with an aquaintance. Children are incredibly fast when they want to be and it happens to almost every parent

I live in a very rich area, it breeds elitism. Also, I only generally talk about the negative experiences because they stick with me a lot more than the positive ones. It tends to shift the focus a little.
Also holy shit the kid walking six blocks! That's crazy.
