I do accents (on occasion), but that's the extent so far. It'll be my summer hobby... (Even though I'd be petrified to get up on a stage, I think there's an actor inside of me just waiting to get out. We'll see.) And yes, I too feel like being a secret agent whenever I watch an action-adventure movie. I'm subscribed to your blog, now, by the way -- keep posting!

I have a tendency to do that, for comical effect. For a second, I thought it wasn't just me and my mom :) Example: the other night, I was walking home and was waiting to cross at an intersection. Two girls were kitty-corner from me, obviously out running, in their cute little jogging outfits, kind of dancing/jogging in place to keep their blood moving. I couldn't help myself; they looked so Jane Fonda gone Happy Valley, that I started dancing too. My cousin said I was mean. I'm laughing just typing about it. I don't know if they saw me. p.p.s. when you were first talking about being a monkey and imitating people, I thought you meant you like to mimic people.

Movies like Finding Forrester and Finding Neverland make me want to write, for example. Well, Finding Forrester makes me want to write on a typewriter, and Finding Neverland makes me want to write children's stories in my journal. Reading Fahrenheit 451 makes me want to read and write. And sometimes I see a movie or hear a song on the radio that makes me head to the piano or pick up my guitar. Sometimes, strangely enough, a movie or something will make me want to live a life of danger as a secret agent who saves the world with my special skills. Thankfully, I never try to live that one out...I just think about it for a week and maybe even write something down about it. :) P.S. I decided, at your suggestion, to start a blog of my own. I have no idea if I'll be as regular as you are, but I figured it's worth trying.
