Good Goodbye, Lovely Time
Doing the One Woman Show in my acting class today seemed to go pretty well. I was a little nervous before hand, but once I started, I just got into this zone. It's hard to explain, but I'm pretty sure anyone who's ever performed will understand what I'm talking about.
For the piece I wrote and put together, I decided to play it off as a person considering suicide. and I mean, I went all out for it too. There was a part where I had a knife held to my wrists and was going on and on about how easy it would be to just cut through, and my teacher told me I seemed so serious she almost got on stage to stop be, because she couldn't tell what I was acting anymore or not. There were a few girls crying by the time I walked off stage, whispering the lyrics to "My Sundown" by Jimmy Eat World.
Good Goodbye, lovely time
Good Goodbye, tinsel shine
Good Goodbye, I'll be fine
Good Goodbye, good goodnight
Everyone was telling me about how intense and raw I seemed. Of all the pieces preformed today, apparently mine was the most emotional. I couldn't help but feel proud, considering I wrote and blocked and figured out the whole thing myself. It's the first time in a long time that I've done something I was proud of. I just wish I had brought my camera so I could have had someone record it for me. Oh well.
