Hello and welcome! My name is George Shaw and I am one of your resident therapists here! It’s a pleasure to meet you! As far as getting your kicks, it really depends what you are into. There’s quite a lot to do here honestly. 

It’s nice to meet me!

The pleasure is all yours, I’m sure. Or if it’s not yet, it will be - trust me. Anyone have any tips for a girl’s first day here? What do people get into for kicks?

Here’s a screen name I haven’t seen in a while.. How have you been? 

So yes its been a random long time since I’ve posted on my blog.  Or just anything here at second hope. I’ve been in a funk and I’m so sorry that none of you have seen me until now.   I’ve been so tired and not wanting to interact with the public.

“It’s a happy story, so of course there will be a happy ending.” George replied with a big smile still plastered across his face.

“I know what you mean though, I love happy ending’s as well” He added with a friendly wink before he sat up from his chair.  “Okay then, shall we begin?” He exclaimed as he stepped over to his couch and pointed at one of the throw pillows. “Well look at that! I’ve never seen a kitty with orange and black spot like that before! Have you?” He said as he looked over at Quinn, who he was pretending to be a complete stranger.

Don’t forget the blueberries! Mmmm.. Sounds delish!

This was going to be so exciting! George already had the perfect mood in mind, COMEDY!! It didn’t take him long to write down what type of mood he wanted their exercise to be in. Next up was to find a location. 

George pulled his phone out and closed his eyes before pushing one of the keys. ‘C’ is what came up. Next he searched locations starting with C, and being that he was living in Los Angeles before, California was quick to pop up. “Oh California!! How wonderful! What did you write down as a topic?” He asked with a smile as he flashed his piece of paper to her, which read ‘Happy’. After reading ‘Kittens’ as her topic, George began to scribble on the whiteboard. “Okay, we are in California. It’s a beautiful, sunny day and everyone walking the streets has a nice spring to their step. We’re all jolly cheerful and such. Any ideas on how the kittens will come into play? Maybe there is a stray kitten on the sidewalk? Or we walk past a pet shop? What do you think?”

That sounds wonderful! Grapes go amazingly with a fruit salad. Something I think I will have for a snack later. I am happy for you! 

I had a few grapes for lunch, so I’d say I’m certainly making progress! Hopefully this will be reported back to my dads and they’ll discharge me sooner than later…

George was all smiles once she stepped in. This was going to be so much fun and he hoped she would feel the same way. “I am so excited for this! I am glad you seem so as well!” He exclaimed as he walked to the door and closed it. 

“Alrighty.. So as you can see I have a plain white board here. I figure we can start off slow and work our way into harder exercises.” George added as he picked up one of the dry erase markers. “This is what we can do..” He added before writing on the board ‘Place’ ‘Mood/Type’ and ‘Subject’. “We can act out short skits with these. I will give you a sheet of paper, you will write down a subject, or topic without telling me. I will write down the mood, or type of way this will act out and I will use my phone to find out where this will all go down. For example if the mood is drama, the location is say France and the topic is a bicycle. We can act out a dramatic scene in France involving a bicycle. Does that make sense?”

@fragilefabray With everything in order, George and Quinn could finally meet for her first acting class. The focus for the next week or more would be improv. something that George would also need a brush up on. This seemed like a fun, challenging way to relieve some of Quinn’s stress. Also to help her with her schooling.

George had cleared up a space in the center of his office, set up two chairs in the middle and also set up a small white board. He hadn’t done anything like this in years. He was excited to finally put his acting chops to work again.  Once everything was set up, he checked the clock on the wall and sure enough, he finished up just in time. He made his way to the door and opened it slowly. Quinn wasn’t there yet, but there were still a few minutes left. He decided to leave the door open for her as he walked around the room one last time, making sure everything was in order.

I never got to do it as much as I’d liked but when I did have the opportunity it was a lot of fun! Monday afternoon would be good, around 2pm would be perfect! 

[georgeshawsh-blog]

Oh what fun! I haven’t done improv in a while so it will be a great chance for us to brush up! When would you like to meet up in person and get the ball rolling? 

[georgeshawsh-blog]

Guess what!? I got the email! I have sent them my reply so they can verify that it really is me. Just waiting on some sort of response from them now. Do you remember where exactly you left off before coming here? 

[georgeshawsh-blog]

It can be a bit gloomy at first.. but don’t worry.. Once you begin making friends and enjoying some of the activities here, it won’t be so bad. 

[georgeshawsh-blog]

That is wonderful news! Of course I don’t mind! Did they need to contact me or need any form of proof that I am allowed to do so? 

[georgeshawsh-blog]

If you don’t hear anything by then, give me their info. I still keep in contact with my PR team and am still signed with my talent agency. I could have them contact your school.

I am so sorry to hear that are having trouble falling asleep.. Is there a specific reason why you are frightened? Is it because this place is new and you aren’t used to it? 

I can’t fall asleep, I’m frightened. I just need to call my dads, they’ll take me home. I don’t belong here. 

[georgeshawsh-blog]

That’s wonderful news. I am happy to hear. How is everything else going for you? 

[georgeshawsh-blog]

Oh no... First Aaron now you.. I am so sorry to hear! Load up on vitamins! 

I haven’t felt like leaving my room at all today. I hope I’m not coming down with that bug everyone’s been talking about.
