my feet are cold.
One homeless night was great.
oh, did my personal monologue for acting class.
Blanked out, but moved on pretty well, sort of kind of maybe some people didn't notice even.
I think some people had a ... not happy reaction to it, meaning, they didn't realize that I hate feeling like I'm not able to speak, that I feel like I'm a boring person not worth listening to.
Nicci was fantastic and sort of squinting at me and cocking her head and then said something about I'm freakin awesome St. Germain and I'm beautiful and interesting and that my eyebrows were awesome and I look like I have some secret, like I'm mysterious or something.
Mark's?
Oh my goodness, he's... seriously, he's so ... just... I can't even describe him, really.
He hoarse whispers.
He smacks his lips.
He makes stories, memories, everything come to life.
He's obnoxious, in a way that leaves you confused and in awe and a little ... anxious?
He told a story of going to a school and accidentally entering the girl's locker room while he was wandering closed off portions of the school. But you know what? After he was done I realized he never really finished the story, but I wasn't thinking about it as he came to a close because the way he ended it? It fell into a burst of emotion, him punching himself in the leg, rocking back and forth in the chair, practically sobbing, and then falling off, huddled on the ground, curled in a fetal position, and then became silent.
Everyone sat there, some stunned, some laughing at his stunt.
He lay on the ground for more than a minute. A girl laughed hysterically, said he made her day or life or something, and then when he still hadn't moved, she poked him.
Eventually he got up, wiped his eyes, and pushed his chair back that he had been using as a prop back to its place and we continued monologues.
the way he performs, you don't know whether to take him seriously or laugh, and some people choose one and I, in a way, choose both.
I never know what's real, what's really a part of him and what's not.
He's a stargirl, but, not.
A piece of me wants to stalk him one day.
or, really, make a documentary of him.
really.
just, footage of him acting, of him being... the person he is to us, the acting class.
He's so insanely fascinating.
Some people, they're just so incredible. Sometimes I develop crushes on people I find fascinating, but in this case, I don't think i really like like him as much as I find him an... abundance of talent and mystery that I want to keep track of.
Now I have this somewhat terrible feeling of almost doing the opposite of personifying something... turning him into an idea, a concept, a thing, rather than a person. which is a dangerous thing to do. People are people.
and that's my story for today.
