Acting Up

My drama group's performance of "The Open Square" last week was received very well, and according to my drama teacher, audience members found it ‘poetic’ ‘moving’ and ‘profound’. Bearing in mind that almost all audience members were friends or relatives I wonder if this translates as 'confusing and absurd' but I like to think not. I even got a gushing fan come up to congratulate me, who blushed, stammered and went back to his friend who was waiting to pat him on the back for taking the plunge. The after show party was great, my cousins who had come to watch made up for not drowning me in roses when I took my bow by drowning me in vodka instead.

I do remember letting one of the other drama students showing me how to throw a good punch. Why is it that everytime I get drunk, I always end up in a punch throwing demonstration? It's getting ridiculous, and everytime I look back at that same old scene, someone holding out their hand for me to punch, me concentrating with all my might, to punch in the correct angle, whilst trying not to spill my drink, well....it's just getting a bit cringeworthy now. Why does it always happen? Note to self; DO NOT, in future, after a few drinks, ask anyone if they know how to punch properly, or flex your arm muscles whilst boasting how you could punch really well if you wanted to, or randomly announce that no-one knows how to throw a good punch these days or anything else that might lead to you taking part in a punching demonstration.
