So IC and OOC, I'm really frustrated and breaking down a little bit. But my IC frustrations are more extreme, helping me as the player vent at get rid of the frustration. Don't ask, I'm just kinda moody for a reason that shouldn't really be a big deal.

BUT!!! Today I went to a workshop where I learned about Butoh. I'm too tired to explain what that is, wiki gives a pretty good explaination.

It's a pretty bizarre acting style, and it's a LOT of work on my back and feet. I never knew I could reach the fetal position until today XDDD

Unfortunately I don't think I did my best. In the beginning I just couldn't come up with stuff on the spot. I kinda had that problem later, but in a different way;

Basically one of the things we did was we had to pantomime our own boggart; pantomime our greatest fear and morph it into something ridiculous. I was a little worried at first, because the fear I was going to use was asphyxiation. How do you make suffocating ridiculous? It occured to me in the middle of it; something else that makes it hard to breath; laughter. So I tried to pantomime being tickled. But as I thought of that and tried it, I just....mentally died. I didn't want to do it anymore, especially because Butoh is very slow. How do you pantomime tickling in slow-motion? So yeah, fail -_-

We also had to practice hanging from different positions off of a chair, which I could barely do; I have barely any sense of balance and I'm heavy, so it was scary trying to hang off of the chair. So I couldn't really do any impressive positions.

and now my brain is dead.
