(Can blog entry titles be this long? Should it be allowed?)
Do you remember how I went completely batty with spring (hay) fever and thus managed to get myself cast in a summer theatre production?
Well, if you don't remember or didn't know, I did and ... alas, I did.
Despite the fact that I've no talent for acting and no memory for remembering lines (which, I've discovered much to my dismay, is a crucial and mandatory skill for actors (even for amateur actors like me!) to possess!); and despite a brief encounter with a rodent, I've been having - dare I even write it? - fun.
Well, "fun" in a nerve-wracking sort of way.
And a few frenzied and unexpected events surrounding the production occurred this past week.

I LOVE referring to myself in the third person. That, and calling people by their personal pronouns. I think it really adds a glamorous touch. :)
dude, I had to give up referring to myself in the third person when I met my partner - her name's Martha too. now i can fool people into thinking that I'm talking in the third person when really I'm not! I get some strange looks. "I'd love to come but I'll have to check with Martha first."
i would never ever ever ever want to write a bio for a program. never. no one would want to read it! it would probably include tidbits about my menagerie of goldfish and cats, my blue faience hippo collection, and my passion for all kinds of nuts, particularly pecans. or maybe i would mention all the things i've tried and failed at, the numerous musical instruments, five languages, and obtaining a driver's license. see? see? i bet i've already bored you to tears!
I glad you're having fun with this! I've never tried acting in anything that required more than a few lines. I don't see how the big stars do it day in and day out. But, I'm quite sure that they feel fantastic when someone appreciates their effort. So, obviously, people DO appreciate you.
ah, it's not so wierd to refer to yourself in the third person. Seems a lot of people do it... even miked
The write up sounds pretty good as well.
In high school, I had the job of writing up bios for the school musical. The cast all had to fill out forms and then I was supposed to take the funniest of what they wrote on the forms and write their bios. It was fun. Except that then, I agonized over my own bio. I wanted it to be the best of all of them. In retrospect, mine sucked. But I tried.
