The Fancy Word is… Exult!
October 14, 2009
“What was that about?”
“I was caught skipping across campus green. They saw.”
“So why are you happy?”
“Because… I don’t know. I just am!”
It could be because my client’s great to work with and fed us with so much food, he had it tapowed for us. I fed it to my theatre group who were more than happy to munch on soggy cold fries and cold calamari rings.
Or maybe it’s because I did a bedroom scene with one of Cleo’s Eligible Bachelors! Honestly, it sounds sexier than it really is. My character goes bat crazy insane while he remains this submissive boy who gets put into all sorts of tests to prove his fidelity. It was fun! It lacked chemistry though but Leon seemed to think it was hilarious. I think Theresa did it better with a candid psychopathic touch.
Or it could be because today my hair was blowdried to ooze charisma for my presentation. I cut my hair this weekend and my hair looks EXACTLY LIKE IT DID BEFORE and I love it! I really really like how effortless this hair is. So he gave me a cut that doesn’t require massive amount of gunk or hours of blowdrying and magically chopped off half the volume. That’s really all I need! Nothing fancy. I think I really have found it: that guy who’s going to cut my hair for the rest of my life. That sounds shallow but at least that’s one thing i don’t have to fret about.
“Talk about killing our annoying group mates, this would qualify to be a massacre.”
“YES! brilliant plan! …So what do you have in mind?”
“We’ve got the catalogue right here. Choose one!”
“Ooooh I like torture!”
“Let’s try waterboarding!”
Or maybe because i realised today despite my worries about this project, there’s actually a key group of five people i can count on (who is not only hardworking and enthusiastic but also extremely adorable) plus a dozen peeps who are dedicated team players. It really is a matter of leadership, flexibility and believing that this? This crazy thing? It’s tough but we can pull it off. There’s idealism but let’s not kill ourselves for a pass/fail module.
Or it could be because I had an instant girlcrush at seminar today with a woman who works to represent minority parties at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal. She’s a writer, an activist, and a playwright. How supadupaubacool is that? The topic today was on non violent means for political change. Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. comes to mind but I’ll be keeping an eye out for her.
I don’t know why I’m happy. But I am!
