Uncanny | Mara Lefler

I have come to realize that I am uncanny. I can say and do the most uncanny things. For instance, yesterday I was at a friends house and we were chatting and eating dinner. I can't remember what we where talking about, but I had the thought and I said out loud without really thinking what I was saying, "I hate it when your ears plug up after you eat cold pizza." I remember the room going quiet for a slpit second before my friends started to tease me mercilessly about what I had just said. I came to the realization that no one else probably gets their ears plugged up after they eat cold pizza.

Also there is another uncanny experience that I have been pracitcing for. I'm in a play called All in the Timing. It is a play of scenes, and in one of the scenes I play a monkey who types on a typwriter. Now acting in general in not uncanny; people do it all the time, but acting like a monkey is uncanny.
