I used to do Psychodrama. Fascinating people, but I always felt peripheral there, though I wasn't sure why.

Then one night, I had this dream:

The Middle Ages were football-mad. I was trying out for a medieval football team. I noticed an odd thing: all our coaches constantly blamed the ugly Potato Person for everything wrong in their world, from murder to mud. Not the Devil, the Potato! Strange. And unfair: the Potato's spiritual goal in life was to grow the first sprouts of the Renaissance, not to be pretty... or to play ball.

I wasn't so pretty either: I was missing one foot. But instead of a peg leg, I had an anti-gravity skateboard. It had its good side: it let me zoom around faster than any of the two-footed ballplayers! But they wanted a team player, not some skittery one-leg airy-fairy. They wanted tough guys, guys who were grounded--never mind that I could get around better than THEY could!

It took forever, but I finally got tired of their prejudice, so I left.

And I woke up.

Having woken up, I left Psychodrama too.

It was, by the way, just as hard to paint ugly as pretty.

I got bored trying to draw tiny football players so I substituted Fossil Barbie who was easy to draw and means the same thing to me--conformity. (Butch or femme, it's the same team sport).
