I don’t know why, but any time I run into another queer female (ie: a Starbucks Barista etc.) I always get all awkward.

The inside of my brain is all: “Hey what’s up, we’re both wlw but I don’t know if it’s obvious to you that I am, but I support/acknowledge you as part of the community and appreciate the positive impact you made via my coffee, but I’m also not trying to hit on you because I’m married and I respect you as a human but here is a polite nod of confirmation....and if you wanna make a quick convo of gay fandom things, I will totally acknowledge it”

Am I the only gay with this internal battle?! 💀

So, I have been teaching a class called Play Builders for a few years. It meets on Saturdays and lasts a semester, and is open to elementary-schoolers. For the first few weeks we do basic acting exercises and talk about character development, and once the kids have created a one-of-kind character of their very own, I have two weeks, sometimes one if we're pressed for time, to write a play that we then rehearse and perform. This summer I am teaching an intenstive Play Builders camp. It's two weeks, and we meet daily. The first two days (Monday and Tuesday) we played lots of games, did lots of character building and monologues and yada yada yada drama shtuff. Long story short, the children gave me their characters today. We are performing a week from Friday. TL;DR I HAVE ONE NIGHT TO WRITE A 25PAGE SCRIPT THAT IS FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING AND UTILIZES ALL THE CRAZY CHARACTERS* EQUALLY. It's 9:38 pm. I've written sixteen (grand and hilarious) pages over the last seven hours. I am a GOT DAM BEAST, I TELL YOU. I don't toot my own horn that much but don't hold me down don't stop me now I am tooting it. *One of the characters is a half duck half human named Oscar Nitro who is a war veteran.
