Alter Ego Adventures

Every so often, I end up taking a personality test. All them recommend that I be an actress when I grow up. Since that's not what I do in real life, I've noticed that this tension builds up, like how dragging your feet across the carpet makes for a hell of an electrical shock. And so, every now and then, I run off and have an adventure under an assumed identity.

Recently, I went on the Coors Brewery Tour, by myself, as Susan: a Kansas girl who refused to have her picture taken...ever. I created a big scene wth the people at the front entrance (where they take your picture before allowing you to come in), demanded to go on the "short tour" (straight to the tasting room, instead of spending an hour walking around the building), and confronted anyone who took a photo near me in the tasting room, because I was photo-phobic. Being Susan was dramatic and fun in a fucking-with-strangers sort of way. I only wish that I had bought the tour photo, I was pretty cranky-looking and massively glare-y.

So. I think it might be time to start looking at acting classes or lessons or what-have-you, because I do this sort of thing every few months. While it's super fun, I suspect I could channel this energy a bit more effectively. Anyway, this is one of the many ways I spend my free time when I'm not stuck in a practice room or running around town. The end.

After leaving
Coors,
I went out and
bought PBR.
