My agenda for my 1/30/03 blog:
1. Introductions and Call to Order.
2. Work Complaints
3. About My Therapist
4. About Jenya's Mother
5. Wrap-up and Sign Off
1. Hi. Me again.
2. Just one more reason why I hate the Germans: they just blocked our access to our web-based emails. I was checking my email just fine yesterday morning and then NO MORE. grr. So if you are trying to tell me something during the day, my personal email is not the way to do it.
3. Stevie, my therapist was smirking at me today. I was informing him of how when he compliments me it freaks me out and my instinct is to flea. That I can see that he is saying something to me, but every part of my brain is going "ABORT! ABORT!" So we talked about that a bit. And then twenty minutes later he complimented me again. "I don't know if you're going to hear this, but I would like to tell you that I am very impressed blah blah blah blah blah." I think that if there were a video camera trained on me during these moments in therapy you could see me writhing in my chair and holding on to the arms so I don't run out of the office. I managed this morning to not only listen to his compliment, but also to agree with him and tell him why.
4. I was remembering an interaction that we had at dinner on Monday night. Jenya and I went to her parent's house and her cousin-and-cousin's-husband were there as well. The conversation turned to comedy and her-cousin's-husband asked me if I ever used props on stage. He and I started joking about how my only props are a sledgehammer and a watermelon. Jenya's mother was so disgusted that I was doing this "NO ALANA! that's a HORRIBLE idea!" she said. We told her that this was a joke, based on the "work" of Gallagher, whom she claimed to not know of. "Well, he smashes watermelons and other things onstage, you don't know him?" "Oh, no. That sounds horrible! I mean, unless you hand out ponchos beforehand!"
5. Sorry for the lame post. Bye.
