Yay! I got an email.
Nov. 25th, 2004 01:35 pmYay! After a long long silence from sapling (I refuse to use people's real names on the internet).
I met her online a couple of years ago. I lived in Bristol and so did she at the time, so I thought we might get on. Then I got a new job in London, and she moved back to Kent. Took a while, but a couple of months ago I finally managed to visit. And it was great. Then I didn't hear from her for ages. And my paranoia and self doubt kicked in.
So, I sent her an email, and she replied yesterday. Yay! So I'm a lot happier now.
Acting workshop was the best yet. Improvaisation! Did lots of exercises, like create a tableu - in a group - representing a theme. Gradually getting harder. It started easily enough. Wimbledon, then murder (corpse, murderer, discoverer and someone fainting), then got harder (e.g. aphrodisiac). Other excercises, followed by an improvised production. All a lot of work, and great fun. Then we went to a bar and chatted afterwards.
And now it's over. So I need to decide what to do with my free evenings now. I want something that's totally non work related, and doesn't involve heavy brain work. A good female/male ratio would be a plus. I might do amdram, or I might try something completely different. Not quite sure what's available though.
In unrelated news, the TV moved out, and took my flatmates (The sci-fi fan and his wife) with it. I helped them move. Saw the new place. All very nice, but I'm going to miss him. And his replacement - while a perfectly amiable chap - is a sports fan, rather than the sci-fi nut type I'd have preferred. The landlord seemed very keen on him (perhaps because he works for the Bank of England), so we didn't get a lot of choice this time. And he seemed to get on well with flatmate #3.
