Call us insane.
Hey Tophiary,
It's hard to be normal you know. I acted that part in a long running play way off Broadway for a long period of time.
It was called...."Gracie's so called Normal Life"
Eventually I got fired because I kept showing up to work with vino on my breath. But while it was running, and I was actively working, I felt a tremendous amount of pressure from the role. People would come up to me and ask me how I did it. How I managed to play the part of a mother, lover, sister, brother....and stay sane.
It would be the best compliments I ever got. My best performance, don't you know. Oscar worthy actually. Until the day the trap door on stage fell open and I fell into the abyss below. One can only pretend normalcy for so long, until people become wise to the act. Isn't it funny how "normal" can be portrayed. Aren't "normal" people just acting? And yes Susan is so right, isn't she? "Normal" is so utterly boring.
