THE PIANO BENCH

Author's Notes/Comments: 

JUST CAME ACROSS SOME  WRITERS PROMPTS AND THE PIANO BENCH WAS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST...IT MADE ME REALIZE HOW MUCH I TOOK IT FOR GRANTED...MY FOCUS WAS ON THE PIANO AND PLAYING SONGS ON IT BUT NEVER ON THE BENCH I SAT ON...OURS WAS A WOODEN ONE WITH A HINGE SO YOU COULD STORE SHEET MUSIC INSIDE BUT OTHER THAN GETTING THAT OUT OF THERE AND SITTING ON IT I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AT ALL...THE PROMPTS WERE MEANT FOR A STORY OF UP TO FIVE HUNDRED WORDS BUT I JUST WROTE A POEM ABOUT IT...

IT'S FUNNY WHEN THINKING WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THE POEM THE LAST THREE LINES CAME TO ME AS A COMMENT ON THE POEM AND I DECIDED TO ADD THEM TO IT INSTEAD...

THE WAY YOU SAY IT

Author's Notes/Comments: 

TENDENCIES TO BLURT THINGS OUT THE WAY THEY COME TO MIND...NEVER READ A BOOK OF ETIQUETTE...WHO WAS THAT...EMILY POST COMES TO MIND BUT NOT SURE...MAY HAVE HEARD EXCERPTS OF IT BUT NEVER READ THE WHOLE THING...SEEMED SILLY TO ME TO MAKE UP SUCH RULES ON HOW TO DO THINGS... OR THE PROPER WAY OF DOING OR SAYING THINGS... GUESS YOU COULD SAY I DID IT MY WAY...MAY BE BLUNT AT TIMES... A REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE OR MAYBE JUST BECAUSE...

THOUGHTS ON ACTING

Author's Notes/Comments: 

ALWAYS LOVED THE MOVIES AND TV...ALWAYS WANTED TO BE IN THEM OR A PART OF IT.  DIDN'T LIKE AUDITIONING SO EXTRA WORK  WAS PERFECT FOR ME...YOU GET TO BE A PART OF IT WITH NO PRESSURE...I WAS IN MY H.S. PLAY. I PLAYED GRANNY  IN ON  BORROWED TIME...I REALLY HAD TO BE ON MY TOES CUZ OUR GRAMPS GOT THROWN IN LATER ON IN THE GAME CUZ THE ORIGINAL  GRAMPS GOT A REAL  PART IN A REAL PLAY...ANYWAY LOTS OF IMPROV AND ANSWERING WHERE HE JUMPED TO BUT BRINGING HIM BACK TO WHERE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE CUZ OTHERWISE THINGS WOULD NOT MAKE SENSE TO THE AUDIENCE...VERY HIGH PRESSURE....I COULD DO WITHOUT...I OFTEN HAVE ACTOR'S NIGHTMARES WHERE I AM IN A PLAY AND I GO COMPLETELY BLANK AND THERE IS NO SCRIPT IN SIGHT AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHO I AM OR WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO SAY OR DO...IT IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE....THOUGHTS ON ACTING...I ADMIRE THOSE WHO DO IT. IT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE TO JUMP IN THERE AND DO THAT AND ENTERTAIN OTHERS. IT CAN BE VERY SCARY.

A CONFUSING PLIGHT

WHATCHA DOING....NOTHING

DRESS TO IMPRESS

Author's Notes/Comments: 

SOMEBODY POST A LIST OF THINGS SHE WOULD OR WOULDN'TR DO AND IT MADE ME THINK OF THAT WHOLE DRESS TO IMPRESS NONSENSE....I NEVER ENJOYED HAVING TO WEAR SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR ANYTHING...I PREFER TO BE CASUAL AND COMFORTABLE...WHEN I WENT TO HAWAII ON VACATION ONCE I TOTALLY FIT IN THERE...ANYWAY IF SOME KIND OF SPECIAL WARDROBE IS REQUIRED YOU WON'T FIND ME THERE. I AVOID THAT NONSENSE....
