Apparently, I grew up with JZ, was named Rebecca, a whole ocean and language away from home, because at that age I would totally play make-believe and pretend doors led to other places.
One of the Improv companies I'm in is called Falling Anvil. I'm going to pretend we named it just for you.
Um, yay?
Found a writeup of the study: [link]
My BiL took some clowning classes at Humboldt. He did not join the circus, however, though they are running a theater these days which is sort of similar.
Kristin - or maybe everyone talking about the laugh track made you hyper aware of it.
But I was the one who brought it up! Weird. Anyway, I'm not here.
t poof!
I had a philosophy professor at Marquette who was a clown on the side (he specialized in going to children's hospitals). He went to Clown College in Florida, and said it really taught him a lot. He was the only Jesuit clown I knew of--well, a REAL clown, not a metaphorical one.
I met a guy who dropped out of his bio major to go to circus school.
One of my dad's former students became a juggler & clown or something in the circus.
sarameg, perhaps DebetEsse can fix your "hairdryer" for you.
I don't think there's any way - short of moving to Antarctica - of ridding yourself of mice neatly. Old-fashioned traps may be the least offensive - the D-Con bait things kill the mice and you usually don't SEE the bodies ... but if they die in the wall, you have to live with the smell. Glue traps are cruel and don't work well. They also occasionally trap pets (I have a story about my sister's cat). And cats themselves do tend to leave, um, evidence (CSI: Rodent, anyone?).
I would love circus school, but I have no discernible circus skills.
It was freezing at school today so I went and got a space heater for the room I'm in. This is my third space heater purchase of the year and I fear I have one more to go.
Um, yay?
Yes Yay!
I love your anvillyness. Its part of what makes you fun.
I'm telling you, I think the circus might be the way to go.
Oh my god. Get in the car. We can't stop here. This is
Dilbert
country!
ETA: I mean, what, you think you're joining the circus without me?
I love your anvillyness. Its part of what makes you fun.
Really? I would've assumed it would be a bit tiring and annoying. (I'm honestly surprised, not trolling for nice compliments like I already got, what with the "makes you fun" and all).
Dana, if you run and join the circus, will you have to go to circus school and do circus homework?
