Day 16: Remaining.

I've noticed lately this risking business feels an awful lot like getting back to who I was ten years ago. Heck, even five years ago.

I am beginning to wonder if this whole process of growing up is misguided. Of course you need to develop responsibility and accountability; that's a given. But what if you also had to retain a sense of youth to be thought of as a proper adult?

When did growing up become synonymous with abandoning?

I obviously haven't the slightest clue. But I do know this: I was more of a "grown up" two weeks ago, and I have no intention of going back there.

YESTERDAY'S CHALLENGE:

Yesterday I wrote my first sketch for sketch comedy class. No one has read it as of yet, which will change in the next few seconds when I ask a certain someone to read it. But it's done, it's out there. And again it's PDF: there's no going back.

TODAY'S RISK: Strike a Pose.

Okay, today's risk is done, and it was a lot of FUN! The wonderfully supportive boyfriend is expanding his photographic repertoire and needed someone to model for some shots. Now, I HATE having my picture taken, I mean HATE it. But today I vowed to make a complete ass of myself. And it was a blast. Were people staring? Yes, but wouldn't you be if saw some chick dancing down a random Manhattan street? I was uncomfortable at a few points, and whenever that happened I just tried to do something that would make me even more uncomfortable: and that really works! Stay tuned for some photographic proof of this challenge!
