Acting class

On Thursday I went with Beth Anne to acting class. I was really scared. In 6th grade I did the announcements over the intercom and in 8th grade occasionally I did the television announcements to the entire school. That was over 10 years ago. I've become camera shy.
We started off doing an exercise where you are in one state of emotion and then someone comes in and tells you something, which changes your emotion and you have to wait until Marla clapped to respond. The waiting let the emotion build inside of you.  When I finally got the nerve to try it, because we are on a camera and everyone in the small class of 8 were watching, I made BB be my partner. She was the person in the emotion and I came in to change her mood. When I came in it just made her laugh because I would smirk like our dog. So we switched places. I was told not to look up like I was looking at the birds. But, I was trying to be content in thought when Beebs comes in and tell me that "Dad isn't proud of me" and I start crying. Marla said that was the best one yet. 
BB gave me an easy one, because sometimes I wonder if he's proud. But the class went on and we practiced a script from a weird movie. I had no idea what I was doing, but BB did. BB is beautiful on camera and works her angles. She is amazing! 
After the class Marla said I had great potential. Made me feel good. Acting is more complicated than I had ever imagined. 
To act you must have your emotions vulnerable but you can't take things personally. It is paradoxical irony. 

I also really liked that there bunny rabbits in everyone's yard. They just hop all over the place. 
bunny. bunny. bunny. hop. hop. hop. with little white cotton tails.
