impersonator

I've decided that I'm going to learn how to be a better impersonator. And by that I mean an impersonator at all, because right now I'm not capable of impersonating anyone. I've always been extremely jealous of anyone that is capable of successfully impersonating another human being. There are so many times that I watch someone be funny on TV and I think to myself I can totally do that - that's so easy, and then I try and I fail miserably.

My grandmother, who is nearly 90, can no longer speak. Her brain is sharp and fulling functioning, but the wires that translate what she's thinking into speaking out loud no longer work and she can't actually formulate words. You can tell it's so frustrating for her. She knows exactly what she wants to say, but yet can't actually communicate it. This is how I feel when it comes to trying to impersonate another human being. In my head I can do it perfectly, but the minute the words come out of my mouth, or I try to move the way they did, nothing translate properly I look like a complete fool. Ugh. I just want to be able to do it. Simply because it's another way to be funny and I want to be more funny. I want to laugh more. And I want to feel more comfortable with who I am. And I want to be comfortable enough to act like a fool in front of a bunch a people I don't know, and even more so, a bunch of people that I do know.

And I want them to listen to me. Maybe if I put myself out there a little more people would actually listen to me.
