Apparently, I showed up late to a performance of a show, and had forgotten to shave. Someone handed me a razor and some shaving cream and demanded that I clean up before getting into costume. I could argue. {It must have been an Equity show.} Anyway I smear the shaving cream over my stubble and lift the razor to my face and shave.
One stroke. Okay.
Two strokes. Everything is in order.
Three strokes. Done a thousand times.
Four strokes. Ow, damn what's was that?
I'm bleeding. I cut myself. I can't remember the last time I cut myself shaving.
I hope it's just a nick. It was.
The next one wasn't. It bled like a stuck pig.
In fact I proceeded to slice into my face on every stoke to follow, but I kept shaving. I had to go onstage. My face was a collage of shaving cream, blood, and loose stubble getting caught in the wounds. I couldn't stem the blood flow.
My stage manager rushed in the room to get me for my entrance! I turned to him and was about to call him every word that my parents hate me to use in my blog...
-POOF-
I wake up. I'm lying in bed. I get up, dream forgotten and stumble to the bathroom for my morning routine.Needless to say, I took my time shaving this morning.
