The only way I can keep myself from being utterly embarrassed is by making fun of myself. When I make a klumsy mistake, I will usually tell the world and have them laugh with me. I recently had one of these experiences.
We do this chase scene in a production that I am currently involved. I fell. I missed a whole stair case trying to catch the pig. (given it was only a few stairs, but still) I was in pain, but at the same time I was laughing so hard I couldn't stand up. Afterwards I told everyone just so Mr. Lurvy wouldn't tell them first and it turned into a highly embarrassing situation. Now you all can laugh, because it probably was (no, it was) really comical, and for the time being I can laugh too. I can laugh every time I fall until opening day.
Truth be told, I am so afraid of falling. I have repetitive nightmares about it. Not falling in general, but falling on that stupid platform which is higher than it appears. They always say bad things have the best timing. I am going to beat this a trip Lurvy. ( I really won't, but you can't blame a girl for dreaming) I have just a good of chance not falling, as I do...gulp...falling. At least I don't have to do overly complicated dances in high heels this time.
Come see me NOT fall the first week end of November!
See you then or else,
Nowhere Girl
I wish I could have seen it. Unfortunately I was squealing loudly and sprinting behind the barn. Maybe next time.
