My last post today, *really*

[asthran]

Heh, it's so easy to post when I write them up ahead of time....

But seriously, this is more personal rambling. Doubt that m/any of y'all'll care, feel free to skip it.


What with the Hell Week from Arizona, arriving on Friday night, and barely getting my tent set up before I went to sleep, I didn't have any time to brace myself for getting ready for a new faire, with a different plot and a different cast. Add to that that my previous time here was spent as a visiting entertainer, but that now I'm approaching it from more of a crafter's angle, and it left me feeling quite off kilter.

I feel like I've regressed several years in my interactions. I've always had slow responce times, but in-character conversations feel more awkward. I haven't the faintest idea how to respond to flirting (not that I ever have, with the more recent exception of during dancing), and I feel utterly tongue-tied when someone kisses my hand. (Oooh, someone bowed over my hand, but didn't kiss it! That was so cool!) I did manage to say a couple things that proved there's *some* sort of brain inside my skull, but nothing I'm overly proud of.

Meh. So, I guess, I need to work on character development, and figure out if the young noblewoman Corinna bears any relation to this strange Corinna who works for a living, yet has opinions on fine Italian dancing.

A good response to flirting is sometimes just a coy smile. =) At least, that can work quite well in Festival situations. I know what you mean about slow response times & awkward in-character conversations. I definitely had lots of that last season - I'm sure it's interesting & challenging to move to a different faire every couple of months. That really adds a whole new dimension to the character-building process. What an experience, though!

Oh you can have fun and punch them in the face. I like that one (ok it was the answer on weirdjews2 to the question of being wished a merry Xmas when you are Jewish)

Weird. My ex-girlfriend's baby is named Corrinna - well one of them. The other one is Cassandra. Apparently her boyfriend named Corrina after a Brazilian soap opera character. I don't think that will help with your character development. I like her better than Cassandra because Cassandra is whiny but Corrina looks really proud when she farts (and other stories to tell the Prom date...)

I have the same problem wth responding to flirting. Then, of course, I don't know then people are doing that to me. I don't think They do. I keep seeing it as someone trying to "wench" me. I don't respond to that well anymore.

It's probably why I never flirted with you, I don't know how. If I knew how, I certainly would have.

I need a new outlook.
