It all started with Analiese...

For some of you T2 girls you may remember a night in the North Visitors Centre in one of the theatres where we were doing some kind of role playing/skits - I'm not really sure because there was only ONE skit I remember from that night...and it's left me feeling somewhat NAKED!...emotionally anyway...there are at least 3 of you that may read this that were a part of that skit...it was the MTC class....and each of you were playing yourselves...12mths - 18mths previous to this night and how you were feeling...yes...that's right you were sharing your FEELINGS! I remember Analiese standing up and saying: 'you want me to WHAT???...I ain't sharing my feelings!!' This got a huge laugh from the audience...mine included...but there was something DISTINCTLY different about my laugh to the rest of the audience that night...mine was coated with that 'nervousness' where you feel like you've totally been found out and you're not sure what your next move should be...while everyone else was sitting there laughing because it was funny and that's where it ended for them...me??? I was sitting there thinking: ' OH MY GOSH...SHE must have had the same teacher as I did in MTC...no way! I knew if that had been my MTC class up there...I would have had EXACTLY the same thing to say that night as Analiese did!
I may talk alot (yes...I AM aware of that fact), I may talk alot about surface stuff...and even things that might be personal..I'll talk about the 'facts' of that particular personal subject...but it's downright RARE for me to talk about my FEELINGS!!!

Fast Forward 10yrs:
OH MY GOSH, Analiese is SHARING!!! haaa

Me???: 'I ain't sharing my feelings!!!!!!'

Who's 'evolved' here?

ps. some of you will be sooo lost on this post....it's ok...don't feel bad...you're part of the MAJORITY not the minority!

I often wondered what it would feel like to see my name up in lights - and my first reaction was "WHAT". Obviously not what I had imagined.
I remember that day like it was yesterday.
As for evolving - unfortunately it happens when you get older. I am not going to do it anymore. I promise.
Those were good times though. Ok, I am going to try and rack my brain and remember some of the funny stuff to share. It wont be about my feelings though - just the event.

I am so happy to be part of your minority

i have a vhs tape of that night floating around somewhere. i think i'm going to have to get it converted to a dvd so the whole world can share that moment.

and no, i'm not ever going to share my feelings about that or anything else!

p.s. i was one of the ones that laughed genuinely because i never thought to keep my anti-sharing a secret.

Sarah Tilley said...

oh, i found that tape, by the way. i feel like such a nerd, but oh, well. the exact quote was, "Not you or anybody else is going to make me share my feelings!"

Oh my gosh, I DO remember this. And Analiese was in my class, so I got to see the beligerant, anti-sharing Sis. S from the get go. It never got old. :)
