First, a meme-ish thing!
1. Comment and I'll tell you what fandom I associate with you.
2. Post this in your own journal so I can see what fandom you associate with me.
Now then.
*deep breath* God, that last update was positively ages ago.
Okay. I will now go in order.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON:
ZOMIGODPIRATES.
I'm done.
WEDNESDAY:
We heard the poet laureat of Britain read some of his stuff. It was all right... I mean, there were all these 7th and 8th graders there and it was annoying as hell. Because as a result he couldn't read some of his more interesting stuff. But he read anti-Iraq-war poetry, and that made me very happy. And THEN.
THEN
We went to see A Midsummer Night's Dream. I shall just summarize how fucked up this was.
- Faeries: Were big guys in bunny suits
- Hippolyta/Titania: Hippolyta was a boring, proper Victorian lady instead of an Amazon queen, Titania was an undignified Amazon. So backwards. And at one point she had Botton on a chain. Like... S&M thing. All the guy charas I write (most of them, really; I mean most of the chars I write are male) were just about shuddering and/or throwing up and/or giving thanks they weren't Bottom.
- Oberon/Theseus: Theseus was just an idiot. Oberon was like abusive-father-pimp for Puck. He beat her at one point. And literally like... brushed Titania's whole body with the elixir stuff so it looked like she'd been sweating. And put it between her legs. It was disgusting.
- Puck: A few words: Epileptic, heroin-addicted, abused-child crack-whore.
- Hermia/Starvling the Tailor: Couldn't act to save her life. And was taller than Helena when Helena specifically says something about Hermia's height. Also, as Starvling, kept sticking her tongue out in weird ways and had a bloody tutu. Starvling is a Tailor, not an idiot ballerina. Also, in the fight scene with Helena and the boys, she was getting spit on intstead of trying to attack Helena and being held back (in the text). And she taught the others this idiotic dance.
- Helena/Snug the Joiner: Shorter than Hermia, not all over Demetrius in her scene when she calls herself his spaniel, getting positively raped at one point. Like, felt up everywhere. It was disgusting.
- Lysander/Francis Flute the Bellows Mender: Ugly. Lysander should be good-looking and poetic. Instead he was ugly and a rapist. He and Hermia were like always trying to kill each other. It was horrible. And... He made no kind of Flute/Thisbe. I wanted to die. Ugh.
- Demetrius/Tom Snout the Tinker: No acting ability or personality. Under any circumstance. Demetrius is supposed to be more... violent, but at first he was more gentille, and then helped rape Helena.
- Philostrate/Peter Quince: A woman, no talent or real personality.
- Egeus/Nick Bottom the Weaver: Egeus was good, if scary with his horse-whip, and Bottom was good too. Although A) it's hard to mess the part up and B) during the mechanical's play he had this look of "Oh god we suck" that... was in no way feigned.
Puck was the biggest problem. So my entire Drama class bitched about this together, my teacher nearly murdered something, and now we may do Midsummer as our play.
THURSDAY
I got switched into Creative Writing! WHEE! I wrote a crap poem that I may put up here, and we learned about "beginnings," "middles," and "ends." Andrew dropped out of Drama as his major (now his minor) so we have one boy. Who is like a manslut. Also, we had barbeque, I discovered I love raspberries and strawberries and cream, and found out that seemingly I'm not the only one. (I didn't need to know.)
Also, I showed Serenity-episode to Katie. *beams* She liked it.
FRIDAY
Went to Canterbury. Beautiful. Hung out with Cameron. She's Wiccan. I love her. She's awesome. She thinks I could play Puck. But not the crack-whore. Also went to a talk about sex and death. Chaucer invented the word quentye. I'll let you translate that into modern English. (Hint: four letters, with a c and an n and a t.)
SATURDAY
Drama class was amazing, as usual. And by Monday we'll have a play and casting. At this point I just want to know what it is. I'm gonna be coming back in a little while to grab people on AIM/GmailChat (this means YOU, Aubrey Davis! ...Oh god, I wrote that without thinking. *laughs and rolls eyes*) Anyway. Also gotta give Heather-darling a ring. And then I'm gonna go on a Photo Safari through the dangerous wilds of Cambridge. And showers are nice.
Anyway.
Also, I'll be writing my Bren stuff soon. *beams* I'm so happy. But I need three full story arcs. I don't have the first one except for generalities, and the third one I don't have the end to. Just up through Breniaren's return. So I'm... screwed.
Anyway! Back later today, okay, dears? Ta-ta!
(Also? Oh what a to-do to die today at a minute or two to two...)
A lovely round we learned
Never harm, nor spell, nor charm
Comes our lovely lady nigh
So goodnight with lullaby
Lullaby
