Katy Swain

Well that was a palaver. Went to my improv comedy class this afternoon. Brought it to an early conclusion by losing my balance, banging my head on the wall on my way down and covering myself in blood.

A lot of fuss later, I don't seem to require stitches; just superficial bruising and swelling, a couple of slight nicks, and deep embarrassment.

What are we going to do for an encore?

At least I got my first theatrical review. Well, technically my first incident report.

Woke up early with a sore head from slamming it into a wall yesterday. Please try to avoid putting yourself in hospital today Katy. You've more than enough on your plate.

@miriamrobern @ericphelps After a few hours to calm down, I'm finding it only hurts when I raise my right eyebrow. It's lucky that my left eyebrow does all the heavy lifting when it comes to facial expressions. I can still be quizzical or sardonic with no ill effects. I just have to avoid being surprised for the next few days and I'm golden.

@katyswain Well, and there you go! You've already made a joke about it. Tells me you're heading in the correct direction.

Except for the "standing up" and "not getting hurt" parts :(

@katyswain Oof, that sounds awful, sorry to hear about that, I've injured myself in similar ways in the past. Hope it gets better soon!

@katyswain literally or figuratively? Yes, do not add to your life hurdles.

@tregeagle Not initially, but as nobody would let me move for a while, all I could do was crack jokes. This is a goldmine that will keep me in material until the next stupid thing I do. I'm the comedy gift that keeps on giving.

@katyswain tragi-comedy is always side-splitting. The Greeks knew it yonks ago. Tears and laughter go together like wine and olives.
