Tonight, I deal with something near and dear and terrifying to my heart--IDENTITY. It's bad enough that I actually am faceblind, but I haven't been the Flooze for weeks now--I turned over my identity as "Reverend Susie the Floozie" to Doktor LoBotomy when I was depressed, and now I can't do bupkis without the cushioning my acquired personality affords me. As the "real" me, I found that this is the hardest show I've ever done--and, by far, the lamest. I just don't have what it takes when I'm stripped of my chosen identity, and it was horrible to realize that I am really nothing more than the artifice I've created to interact with the outside world. On my own, I'm the meat equivalent of Gertrude Stein's interpretation of Oakland...there's no THERE there.
