That Awkward First Return Post

Hey everyone, you know that part where I said I quit... Wellllllll, I didn't. Okay, I did, but now I am back. So I guess in reality it isn't much of a quit, and more of a brief pause in my posting schedule. If "brief" is relative to, oh say, a million years or some randomly chosen sequence of time. OOH LOOK! DISTRACTION!

 That's a big red barn I made out of cardboard. My sister is there to show how big it is... notice how her toes aren't sticking up! She was very conscious about that.

 Practicing for our summer skit. Yes, that is a burlap sack I am wearing as a vest, you may be jealous.

Are you back now? Good, as I was saying, I love acting! It's so fun playing different roles, yelling, laughing, and being mean to people in general who don't mind cause you are *cough* just playing a role. Heh... yeah, that's what I'm doing. "Playing, the role" ahem... Anywho, I have taken a couple acting classes at city college and let me tell you... It's not really worth it. I mean, sure you get taught on how to do stuff and practice, but what I learned is that you really have it or you don't. (If you're wondering... I don't have it) Well, truth be told there are some techniques you can learn. When pretending to sleep, let your mind drift away and when you need to wake up, pull it back in. If your mind is concentrating and actively thinking, then your eyes tend to move and you just appear to be pretending... It kind of ruins the illusion a bit. There is more to it, but that's the main idea. Certain things like that are helpful, but in the realm of Church/Easter Dramas... Not very useful. Given my extensive *cough* experience with acting... And by that, I mean the two classes of acting I took. I must compliment my church's drama program. The director does an amazing job, especially considering our cast runs about 50+ members. I would like to say names and give honor to whom honor is due, but without permission I would not want to do so. Most of you know who I am talking about anyways. In the Sunday School Skit class I am in, The World Traveling Puppeteers (We've been ALL the way to PINEDALE!), we have been working on a western style summer skit. It was going to be Wild West but we had to downsize. It is now just a Wild Farm. My role, as it has become tradition, is the bungling idiot helper. I thank my experiences running around with the Wreck Director for being able to make this role so realistic... *cough*

I would like to take this moment to request prayer for one of our members. He's been sick and we would very much like to get him back. He's an integral part of our team and it just isn't the same with him being gone on sick leave. He is doing better so please pray that God continues His healing touch.

Oh, and I would like to make a comment on planking. Those of you who read the Wakefields blog might have seen their post on Planking. This is the act of laying face down on something like... (wait for it) a plank! Now, this might be the most retarded thing ever, but with a group of friends ideas like this tend to happen and hilarity ensues. Here is our puppet crew's answer. Epic Puppet Plank. Still confused? Here is a link to their post. http://thewakefieldsinmexico.blogspot.com/2011/07/plankin.html

Well, I hope that was interesting enough for y'all. (is it y'all, or ya'll??)
