This ought to amuse all you smart people
I was just talking to my friend Amanda, who I haven't really talked to much in the last few years, and this hilarity ensued:
AMANDA: but my cell phone is super screwy, and i've been wrapped up in preparing for an audition for the 1st straight play in 9 years
ADAM: when is the audition?
AMANDA: tomorrow. eeek!
ADAM: wow... what are you doing for it, and what's the play?
AMANDA: tartuffe, by moliere
ADAM: ooh.... do you feel ready for it?
AMANDA: reading it and really studying the characters i'm interested in, watching a video of the royal shakespeare co's production, getting familiar with lines
AMANDA: lol no way i'm terrified....i'm used to get through a dance audition and 16-32 bars of an uptempo and ballad....but i have no idea how to get ready for cold reading!!! any suggestions?
ADAM: man.. if you needed help preparing a song, i'd know what to do. but i think the last time i did a cold reading was my freshman year of high school
ADAM: that was 14 years ago
ADAM: oh wow, i'm old
AMANDA: lol not at all
ADAM: eh.. i feel young, so that's what matters
AMANDA: cuz my social life revolved around swing and hustle dancing in nyc, all of my friends were in their 30s
AMANDA: it's kinda weird to come back to people who still live for frat parties
ADAM: don't you want to go keg it up four nights a week?
AMANDA: my favorite people are those who can talk intellectually with me, preferably about the arts...so i think we'll get along great
ADAM: um, wat duz intelculy meen
ADAM: (wow, that took me awhile to type)
AMANDA: oh hell yeah baby! i'll just major in sociology or something (not sure what that is but i heard it's easy)....but OMG did you see those new shoes in Vogue??? Those would totally get the star football player with no brains and 20 STDs to hook up with me!!! He's sooooo cute!
ADAM: that was scary how well done it was
ADAM: but your spelling is far too good to be truly convincing
ADAM: not to mention that you capitalized the magazine title
AMANDA: LOL. one of my few talents. i can spell.
ADAM: and the apostrophe in i'll
ADAM: really amanda, you're going to have to do better if you really want to be a ditz
ADAM: you're not fooling me
AMANDA: hey, i step out of my car at SMU and barbie girl immediately starts playing in my head
ADAM: cute
AMANDA: hey, i'm just a dancer, all i can do is count to 8. Multiple times!!!
ADAM: good point.. but can you count to 8 starting from 1, or only starting with 5?
AMANDA: no silly, only the choreographer says "5678!" and cheerleaders.
Well I certainly thought it was funny.
