So, I spent Tuesday and most of yesterday in the throes of major PMS (thus named even though yesterday was no longer P).

Yesterday I was stomping around and slamming things and fuming and I don't actually remember why, but it was also Adam's goodbye luncheon that I couldn't attend because I had to sit at the front desk.

I probably could have traded with someone (though I assumed, wrongly, that the others were all going to the luncheon themselves) but since I was in the mood that I was in, I actually preferred not going and resenting it!

I now know why people work with The Actor in Question more than once.

Last night I went to the bar with the cast for the first time, being two tired on Tuesday and too PMS-y on Wednesday) and The Actor came over and sat with me and asked me how I felt about the show and the process, and whether I felt supported and respected by the cast, because he felt that I gave great notes, very precise, and I clearly knew exactly what I was doing all the way through. And that we were alot alike.

"So, do you feel supported by the cast?"
"Yeah, more or less."
"What's the less?"

And I talked around it for awhile until he said "Well, I guess you're not gonna tell what problems you had," and I said:

"Well, yes I am, actually. Sometimes I thought that you thought that I was an idiot."

Well, he was shocked, shocked I tell you, that I felt that way and that he never meant anything or thought anything like that and blah blah blah, etc. etc. And I know that he meant it, I know that he had no idea that that was the impression he was giving.

And of course, now that I know that arguing is part of his collaborative process, I realize that I could have pushed harder for things, but since he is doing what I want him to do, there isn't anything that I would change, just the process.

We had such a nice conversation that I ended it by saying "I'd like to act with you sometime!" This from a person who only last week was saying that I not only never would work with him again, I never even wanted to speak to him again!

As Fran quoted at me when I told the story to him and Cynthia last night:

"Was ever woman in this humour woo'd?
Was ever woman in this humour won?"

I'll be interested to see if anyone can identify the quote in the javascript title.

My biiiiiiiiiiiiirthday's coming...

Today's horoscope:
Your weaknesses define you just as clearly as your strengths. The overall mix is one unique, irreplaceable you. Love yourself for what you are -- everyone else does.

One year ago today:
I really am the most self-absorbed person in the wide wide world, ain't?
