yew stole mah store-ee
Feb. 15th, 2007 02:07 pmWell, at least I have one more week to refine my story.
Between listening to the painfully awesome stories of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yancentric and taking Speakeasy's slogan to heart, I've decided to live my life by the philosophy, "Do it for the story."
Which is not to say that I'll purposely be putting my face in any buzzsaws just for the sake of the story. I do plenty of that with relationships, thank you very much. No, it's just a tactic to force myself to be a bit bolder in my decisions, both in life and on the stage. For example, I really should have auditioned to be the Spider-Man spokesmodel; the fact that I'm out of shape should have only made me try out all the quicker.
Stephanie, the Speakeasy head who was so awesome in coaching my latest story, thinks I absolutely need to go speed-dating. She said this would be a must after I told her how I can't do small talk, how--when I talk with someone-- I actually want to have a conversation, to discuss a topic, to make a point.
She said I should smuggle in a tape recorder and find someplace that does speed-dating, so I can ask my dates questions like:
"Who do you think made a better Hannibal Lecter, Anthony Hopkins or Brian Cox?"
"And speaking of Cox... no, no, I'm not going there, ha-ha... seriously, who would win in a Pit of Death match between House and Dr. Cox? Hmm, maybe that's not a fair fight... ok, what if one of Cox's arms were bound and House had a gun?"
"Do you think Dr. Doom really is smarter than Reed Richards or not?"
Questions like that. I need to ponder the best way to approach this mad scheme. Because this could potentially be brilliant.
Oh, and for those that are interested, he's the updated Speakeasy information. Stephanie really wanted to make sure I'd be able to make it, claiming that mine was one of the "best" of the line-up. While I'm not sure about that one myself, I'll certainly take that compliment.
The info is all official-like, and the fact that they actually included the names of the speakers (including me) pleases me.
