I haven't felt like myself this past week, and I think I came to a realization of that while we improved at the community center. I cracked. I was jumpy and incoherent. I was unbelievably mad and happy and sad and cheerful all at once. I was shaking and sweating and freezing and heating.

It sounds a lot like your common cold (which might be a lot of it - I cheered at every practice last week with a fever and a runny nose) but it was also really different. I was watching me from the outside; I wasn't being me.

But I really noticed this during the improv. I'm always happy and in a good mood, so improv was easy in the sense that I just changed from being me to being extreme. But when you're already extreme what do you do? I felt stuck and uneasy - something was off.

I wish I could say that I walked out of the community center back as me, but I can't. It actually just kind of spiraled after the community center. But I think that was for the better. If I never spiraled out of control, I don't think I would ever become me again.
