I got the idea to start this blog from two awesome people I know, TJ Schley and Allie Howard, who have some fantastic blogs of their own (check em out if you have a moment, they're definitely worth a read). I don't really know what the purpose of the blog is just yet. I'm not sure what kind of things will end up in here or how I'll approach anything (though I expect some poetry, random musings, and interesting quotes will end up here); but I've always had a hankering to write, and I've always needed somewhere to keep the stuff I've written... so...
On a more blog oriented note, the title is a work in progress. I see it as a sort of tribute to my Shakespeare class *fist pump* and props to the Bard himself. In case you're not familiar (I wasn't until last week) the title is a line of stage directions from The Winter's Tale. Dude lays a baby on the ground, moans about life and the cruelty of their situations, then gets chased off stage by a bear and eaten.
So, keeping with the title of my blog and this post, this is what an average collection of daily stage directions would look like for me:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Act 1, Scene 1 (Entitled: Struggle with Myself): My bed, in my room, with me laying in it.
*Blinky Confused Look*
*Check Phone... No Text, Just Alarm... Hit Snooze*
*Blinky Confused Look*
*Check Phone... No Text, Just Alarm... Hit Snooze... Throw Phone*
*Blinky Confused Look*
*Reach for Phone... No Phone... Insert Crude Monologue...*
*Roll Gracefully Out of Bed... Land Ungracefully on the Floor... Feel Face... Nose Intact*
*Do Twenty Pushups*
*Turn Head to Left... Find Sock Under Bed*
*Sit Up*
*Place Sock on Left Foot... Crinkle Nose... Remove Sock... Put Sock on Right Foot...*
*Find Other Sock... Put Left Foot Sock on Left Foot*
*Stand*
*Survey the Damage and Pick Up: Shirt off floor, shorts out of basket, phone from behind trunks, three pennies off bookshelf*
*Walk to Door... Grab Doorknob... Locked In... Contemplate Unlocking Door vs. Returning to Bed... Open Door*
