Inner animal

[tju_tju_tju_tju]

For my acting class, I have to try and figure out what my "inner animal" is, and go and study that animal, and then act like that animal, and then try to "meld the human and the animal together" for a performance of either waking up in the morning or going to bed at night.

I have no fucking clue what the hell my "inner animal" is. I'll probably wind up just picking something random. A bunch of us in the class are gonna go to the Bronx Zoo on the 8th; I'll just pick something when we get there, I suppose. I've got no idea. I hate questions like that: IF YOU WERE AN ANIMAL WHAT ANIMAL WOULD YOU BE LUUUUUULLZ

In other news, I just watched Slumdog Millionaire, and it was great.

I love doing animal studies, actually, and they sound silly, but they can be a lot of fun.

Rather than picking a random animal, try looking at your gestures when you first wake up or go to sleep. What you do with your hands, what habits you have, things like that, and figure out if any of them remind you of movements you've seen animals make. Most people have more than one, so there should be a lot of choices available.

Picking an animal based on things you already do will make the merging performance a whole lot easier. ^_^ You won't feel so much like you're just making shit up.

Yeah, it does sound like it could be fun, but I'm just so terrible at figuring stuff out like that. I'd rather someone else just tell me what animal I move like, heh.

Wow, bizarre. Just be a hedgehog or something - sleep in a ball and be prickly at people who bother you first thing in the morning :D

That does kinda sound like me in the morning, ha! Or maybe a sloth.

Hey! That's mine!

If it helps, Milo is a puppy and Adrian is a panda. *L* Despite how Adrian said Sylar is a panda. He isn't. :P

Haha, I can definitely see those...

Do a penguin, just for the lulz.

So.....you're being asked to decide on what your ANIMAGUS FORM will be, and you aren't enjoying it?? Lol! Suck it up and go do your research! McGonagal will be so disappointed in you if you aren't prepared for that class!

;)

Haha! I didn't look at it that way.

I have decided that my inner animal is a squirrel, though, so I guess McGonagall won't be disappointed in me. ;)

You could be a cat...and 'waking up' would consist of you laying on the ground and stretching alot before laying right back down.

OR...pick the most random inner animal ever. Like...a possum. Then "waking up" would be you playing dead. You could pretend someone came in to wake you and you...played dead?

OR...a penguin. You wake up and just waddle around your house dejectedly. Also, you randomly break into tap routines.

OR...another entirely random and interesting animal.

All very lol-worthy ideas! :D But I've decided my inner animal is a squirrel... it just "feels right".

(although I do feel sorely tempted to do the penguin!)
