Chocolate Rain!!!

School, schoolwork, back to school night, Leigha's softball awards night. Busy, busy day! Something incredibly interesting did happen to me today, though....in my acting 2 class there is a guy named TJ who takes REALLY bold risks with his acting...Our teacher had told him to take up the entire theater with his monologue, so he came back today to do it for the class. He started setting up things (piano moved over there, backpack over here, then he put out a tarp and threw a giant wooden die (as in unplural of 'dice') out. He started out on the piano, talking, playing, talking, etc. Then he got up and continued speaking while he kicked the die around for a bit. After a while of going back and forth between the two things, he reached into his bag and sat down on the tarp as he reached into the bag and pulled out.....a whole bottle of Hershey's chocolate syrup. Oh..........no........... Alternately continuing his monologue and pouring syrup into his mouth until it ran down his front and onto the tarp, he downed the entire bottle then proceeded to FINGER PAINT it all over his body! I mean he literally smeared it up and down his face and between his toes, then drew a smiley face on his leg!!!!! The entire class watched in silent, stifled laughter until he finished and said, "Thank you." And took a bow, slipping slightly on the slickness of the tarp as the class erupted into hilarity. It was amazing. I wish I had gotten a picture of the teacher's face, and I know anyone reading this who knows her is dying of curiosity and wishing they could have seen it too.
