My take on a six-month drama tour across Canada.

Third time's the charm

When I signed up for this, I didn't anticipate the flood of emotions that have come with my first real exposure to acting. Our director, Barrett, keeps talking about breaking down walls in order to express yourself on stage...something I'd never considered before and that I don't really like to do in life in general. So, needless to say, God has been identifying my barriers to expression and even experience of emotion, with far-reaching implications. Not fun, but this is likely the reason that he led me to go on this trip. I have a sinking feeling that I will be a blubbering mess for the next month or so, which is a very rare state for me. But I want to be the best actor I can be. Please pray that I'll allow God to help me live up to my full potential.
We went to Calgary last night, in my third attempt in two weeks to buy a camera. I was succcessful! I am the proud owner of an Olympus digital camera, sponsored by my wonderful parents. Thanks, Mom and Dad. Then we went to Boston Pizza and played Wizard. It was interesting, playing around our food. I think we got a surprised look from the waitress, but she didn't say anything. This time, I was the champion.
And I've converted another team member into the world of blogging; first Reneyah, and now Jeremy. Two down, two to go.
The stupidest thing someone can do is assume they know something about which they know nothing. Judging from my reference to Billy Idol as the singer of "Tainted Love," I would be one of those people. Fortunately, Jeremy tactfully pointed out that Billy Idol never sang that song, and I can attempt to save face by letting you all know that I know little about pop culture, expecially from the 80s and early 90s. So please, don't expect much from me.

I can hear Lesly laughing from here.
