When was kellie powell born

Looks normal again. I have the solution, Angela. I give you my blessing. You can go after him, now. You thought what you needed was what I wanted. She hugs Angela tightly. I know. They both laugh. Starts to leave. Laughs to herself as Debbie exits. She sits, alone, looking pensive. Then Brian enters.

Um… I heard about you and Deb. From Deb. I told them both. Not that our being together ever stopped either one of you. You are a mean, non-communicative, selfish bastard.

Deep breath. I have feelings for you. Not just, like, strange, uncontrollable physical attraction, although, I feel that… I have since we were in Oedipus together, since before I even broke up with Luke. And not just that bizarre combination of admiration and fascination that keeps you on my permanent good side no matter how drastically you cross the line or how much of a little whiny bitch you can sometimes be — although, obviously, I feel that.

Well, that seems like a reasonable request. You know what I mean. And, yeah. We are. They look at each other, and smile. Playing with her mind. Shut up. Lights up on Kim and Shane, alone onstage, each holding scripts in their hands, but not looking at them. KIM: So you expect me to rearrange my entire life for you?

KIM: Oh, of course I am! That was really, really great, Kim. So, Shane? You might want to get your script in order…. KIM: To Angela. So, you want to catch a movie tonight? He should be here any minute. KIM: Um, okay. KIM: Well, maybe she thinks you typecast her. KIM: Well, so is Jamie.

KIM: Then why is she dating him? You ready? Kim is amazing me. She is just… living and breathing her role, you know? Instead, I have six actors in roles that they are perfect for. Debbie as a squelched masochist, Jamie as an independent thrill-seeker…. Who are you? What are you worried about? Debbie and I have a better break-up than we did a relationship. If you can handle it, I can handle it. You can handle it, right? Ryan finally has the girl he wanted all along.

There was nothing you could have done. And everything is the way it should be. It all worked out. Lights down. Lights up on Kim and Shane. Kim sits on the fence, Shane is standing, looking at the sky. KIM: So this is your idea of a fun evening out? Waiting in a park for the late showing of a movie so that you can save two bucks? We have everything necessary for juvenile hi-jinx. We have our youth, and our freedom… and… I think I have a Frisbee in my car….

Take abuse from girls. KIM: Is that what you did? What did you expect, an engraved invitation? KIM: No. KIM: What are you saying here? KIM: Oh. Except, what would I be if I got involved with you now, except someone who waited around for you to change your mind? It was far more subtle. Why are you mad at me? KIM: Not that.

What did you just say? KIM: Un-fucking-believable. React however you want. KIM: Yes. You might make me completely miserable. The last thing I want is to make you miserable. Lights up on Jamie and Ryan onstage, scripts in hand.

Angela back in her chair in the house. You only think you do. You know my position on this. You seem like a great guy. But a relationship? We have everything we need, right now. Why would you want to trade that for a hollow sense of security? For some kind of false guarantee?

Love is brief. No mess, no bullshit. And, I love you too much to let that happen. Have you ever kept up a pretense? Ryan looks shocked, and starts to leave. I saw this coming. Living a soap opera kind of comes with the territory. Looking at Jamie. Tight-knit groups have history, conflicts, drama.

You enjoy taking care of people too much. Trying to take care of people is what always gets me. Am I late? Ryan ran off.

You can call me after you talk to him. And yours? But he asked me out last night. I got over him. And, I mean, he just… He drives me crazy! I wanted to be with him for so long… We would be so unbalanced…. I had a crush on my current boyfriend for six months before I even realized it….

KIM: That makes you the perfect person to ask. Am I early? That sucks. KIM: Completely Stupid has been going around…. Listen, Debbie. You… are not responsible for him. You are his girlfriend, not his psychiatrist, or his mother. KIM: We accept the love we think we deserve. KIM: Smiles. Oh, yeah. The only question is whether or not he deserves me. Our lives make up a much more interesting than anything that could be written, anything that the audience sees.

And no one ever gets exactly what they want. They just… Learn to want less, and less… and less…. Did I ever tell you about my insomnia? For years… And… I used to play all these games, you know, in my head, to try to relax and get to sleep… Like, I would count how long I could keep my eyes open.

And then I would count how long I could keep them closed… And one night, after Luke and I broke up, I set my mind to trying to imagine the perfect guy. I did that for a really long time, until I had it down to microscopic detail, I knew exactly, precisely what I wanted.

She has also published poetry and non-fiction. Powell was born and raised in Central Illinois. Even though Joan does consent to sex, she will go through the rest of her life wondering if she slept with a potential rapist.

She will be disgusted with herself, because even though she did not know at the time, she slept with someone who assaulted her best friend. Joan feels terrible about what that man did to Helen — maybe even worse than Helen feels about it, or allows herself to feel about it. This confuses Joan. She cannot understand how Helen can expect so little from men, or tolerate such an unacceptable action. She can only speculate. Has Helen been sexually abused so often in her lifetime that she considers sexual harassment and even violence — to be normal behavior?

Does she avoid her emotions because they would be too painful to deal with, or is she really indifferent to what happened to her? As with so many questions like these — there is no way to know. Other Plays By Kellie Powell. Finally, Kim reveals that Shane was the inspiration for the uneven love story he has destroyed, and that their relationship has been more significant to her than he ever suspected. You promised nothing. But I knew I wanted those moments — few and far between as they were… I wanted whatever time and affection you could give me.

No matter what it cost me. It was enough for me, somehow. I felt like you found comfort in me. But I was glad that I was somewhere on the list.

I love the way you tell a story, drawing me in. I love you for all the times you convinced me, with a stupid joke, or even just a look… to stop taking myself so seriously and just enjoy my life. Nothing could ever make me regret the way I feel about you. A seven-year-old girl is traumatized and scarred after being attacked by a dog.

Ultimately, Dogface must find a way to reclaim her self-worth, despite her alleged ugliness. If I look out of the corner of my right eye, I can see it, the silver needle, moving up and down. I was conscious the entire time. I was awake while they sewed my face back together. Open navigation menu. Close suggestions Search Search. User Settings. Skip carousel. Carousel Previous.
