It's OK, I'm a theatre major

This one simple statement can cure almost any ill. If someone or a group of someones is looking at you dazedly, trying to fathom your actions, this one sentence will explain all. For example, Jess, Liz, and I were fake-fighting each other outside Lottie at lunch time today, while Mackenzie was amusedly watching and joining in on occasion. Punching, screaming, stabbing, shooting, restraining, dying, and the like. Plenty of running around and flailing on the ground. Well, when people walk past they tend to stare at such a display. We shout "We're acting! We're theatre majors!" and everyone is fine.

It was also quite amusing to teach Mackenzie the axe concentration game. One person throws the axe (i.e., making a chopping motion with your arms and giving a diaphragmic grunt) to another, who lifts her arms (with the noise - every action is with the noise) while the two flanking her chop sideways towards her. Then, she flings it to someone else. Well, Mackenzie thought it was so funny she was lying on the floor laughing! Great fun. We didn't even show her the bunny, elephant, Cinderella, Tinker Bell, psycho one. It was also amusing that Andrew and Matt didn't come out to join us. We didn't see them leave - maybe they snuck out by going through Sollenberger sports complex.
