Literature week 10

[geebusd]

“For your LJ Blogs this week it would be great to see some reflections on your experiences of drama- either from your rehearsal or reading experiences... or even from your own lives....WHY NOT WRITE A SHORT REFLECTIVE PIECE ABOUT ANY TWO VERY CONTRASTING ROLES THAT YOU OFTEN FIND YOURSELF IN: GIVE THE TASTE OR FLAVOUR OF THE DIFFERENCE WITH AS MUCH

This is an interesting piece of writing. It's honest and playful (I particularly like the wearing black thing.) It's odd how our location can change so much about us. In the end I guess it has to do with the people in those locations.

There is some stuff in here that are the kind of thing you can't say, but that you really feel. "At work I sell books that don’t mean anything to men and women that are as cold as their skin exposed from their suits".

But over all it sounds like your fine with playing these 'binary' opposites. Is that right?
I don't mean that to be a judgment or in any way condemning. From the tone of the writing it seems you feel that there is always this tension in life (How should I act? Who's watching? what's appropriate? etc...) and your, more or less ok with it.

I just felt after reading, you were saying kind of "That's just life, so might as well enjoy it". As with the comment before mine, I "like this"!

its weird how location has such an impact on the people and how the people have such an impact on the atmosphere isnt it!! I really like this entry G. Its so honest and pure. And I particularaly like your refernce to Bombo. I go down to Kiama quite often and love Bombo beach!. It is so tranquille there, absolutely beautiful and likewise, I get alot of reading down there! And its true, that the south coast is much more relaxed than the metropolitan area.. its always busy, even down here in the suburbs!! There always something going on!

I really like the way you write G, it feels like the words come straight out of your brain. I wish I could do that. Im either not thinking enough, or thinking too much! haha
