Shows with undercover cops make me queasy. I know that stuff needs doing, but the idea of actually doing it twists my stomach. Many of you have seen me work a LARP. I can act, oh so plausibly. It's not a lack of acting skill, but because the ethics of those things get twisty in a way I can't handle. It's one thing to become a person with certain beliefs and values for a few hours, it is another to live it for months or years, while simultaneously holding another antithetical set in my head. I couldn't do it, and it amazes me other people can.
