Sure, hit me up with the performance theory thing. Honestly I don't remember you asking about it. Was I in the middle of a show when you asked? If so, that's why I don't remember you asking...swear to God, shows eat my brain cells, and I sort of slip into sort of ... huh...I don't know quite how to put this... I become very detached from my life, and sort of sink into my character to the point where it's ridiculous. I mean, I don't *become* my character in real life or anything weird like that...I just sort of feel more invested on stage than I do in my life, and shit gets crazy. I become very testy with people, forgetful about obligations, resentful of any expectations that others have of me, stay extremely tired all the time...but when I'm rehearsing, or working with another actor...I feel most alive. I think it may be a little insane. I don't think I've ever even articulated all of this to myself quite this thoroughly...thanks for the pulpit...haha...
Now...what was I going to say? Ummm...oh! About the living in different places thing...
RIGHT!
I have a theory about that. You know why it feels the same (yes, I know exactly what you mean!) everywhere you go? I do. (haha...presumptuous of me, ain't it?) I've given this a lot of thought over the years, actually. It's because, wherever you go - there you are. By that, I mean that you, Patt, are an individual who embraces diversity, and you are who you are...and by *that*, I mean that whether you're in Timbuktu or Peoria, you are inherently Patt...*you* don't change, only your location changes. Your circumstances may change, but *you* don't. Same with me...same with everybody, really. At least, that's the way I see it!
Haha...thank you for allowing me to present my dissertation!
