Not that I have any acting talent, but even if I had any, it’s starting to feel as useless as a skill as knowing Latin. 😔

It feels like I had high hopes for acting this year and failed miserably.

Maybe the reality is that I’ve actually improved and took baby steps towards my goals. I got out there and failed, so maybe failure isn’t such a bad thing.

My scene partner and I performed the yellow stockings scene from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. 💛🎭
I played Countess Olivia 🖤👑 and Hunter played Malvolio. Our classmate was kind enough to record all our scenes. ☺️

From actress Ellen Terry’s illustrations of facial expressions from Taming of the Shrew late 19th or early 20th century…

So far I’ve used my Bluesky to whine about random things. I’m going to start posting more about living with #cfs, #actorthings and of course, my #furbabies.

My fixins for Olivia from Twelfth Night for acting class. 😁🎭 I chose Olivia’s perfume selections as: Chanel No. 5 and Replica By the Fireplace. 😁 I found this lovely hairpiece from the nicest street vendors ever. 💎

Boundaries are important. And we must strive to know where the lines are drawn and respect it. But for those who are willing / able to safely go that distance, it is so satisfying.

Me: Waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought! Useless and disappointing.

My director: okay, Hillary Duff, the film is almost done, I promise!
