maida's first shiner

two days ago for our final dress rehearsal for rules of comedy, we had a bunch of alumni come and watch. it was great! the energy was high and it was soo nice to have our first audience (ps, opening night last night was great too! come see it tonight or tomorrow if you can!). but at the beginning of the show..i angered someone..and you know what happened?..he elbowed me in the face..i have a nice big bruise on my eye..its even a little shadowy and you look up close and it looks like a developing black eye..but i was a trooper and kept going! he feels bad now..but yeah..








ok. i didn't "anger" anybody. it just sounds cooler and more BA.. it was all accidental! at the beginning of the play we all enter in different ways and she paired us up with opposite physical appearances so its funny! i'm paired up with the tallest guy in the class (funny cuz i'm one of the shortest people in the class..) and he picks me up so i'm a couple feet off the ground and we dance on stage. once we get on stage, he drops me and i get up in his face and he cowers away. funny! well on our final dress rehearsal when he dropped me his elbow got in the way of my fall..and he is a very long lanky bony person..so nice bony elbow to the eye. the whole "nice bruise little shadowy almost looks like a small black eye" thing that i said above is true. but it really doesnt look that bad and it doesnt even really hurt. but is it bad that part of me wants a little more of a black eye?..just so i can look BA and act BA and walk around with a black eye and have that attitude of "yeah. thats right. i got in a fight with a guy. i've got the bruise but i got up in his face and he cowered away. wanna mess with me??" (its funny cuz i do get in his face and he does cower away....so it wouldnt fully be a lie right??.. ;D )
