ewwwwwwMy skin is acting funny. I don't understand it: I eat well, I take care of myself (for the most part), I work out, I usually sleep enough, I'm clean, and yet my body flips out on me!! Why???? It could very well be stress, and Sandie suggested that it's the cold air plus heating that's drying me out, but in any case it's annoying as hell. I have a rash behind both of my ears - tiny red bumps that itch and look nasty. Lydia, who has two daughters with eczema, asked if I had it. I don't think that's what this is, but who knows. I seem to have a lot of skin issues, in general...I've been breaking out on my face a lot lately, too, and it never seems to get much better. If I only had the $$$, I'd go to a dermatologist. But no. No more health insurance...
We worked on our "Macbeth" scene yesterday, and it was pretty fantastic. It's such an amazing scene; the arc of it is fascinating. We start out pissed off and attacking each other, then that kinda morphs into a slightly sick & violent seduction, then he becomes like a baby needing love, then I build him back up and we are conspirators getting off on the idea of murdering someone. By the end, we're lovey and united. It's so sick, I love it. And all this in a *short* scene. It happens FAST. Will and I are getting more physically comfortable with each other (something that can take awhile for me to establish, as I'm not completely at home in my own skin), so we're able to play with each other. Throw each other around, embrace, seduce, comfort, whatever. Despite my tendency to be awkward, I'm also someone who yearns for physical contact, be it sexual or not. So I get cheap thrills out of such a physical scene.
Ah what fun. The recital is in 2 weeks and counting.
