Call me the procrastinator
I have to revise two papers before friday and I keep putting it off. It's not like I'm doing anything else that's keeping me from it. wtf, me? I think I'm waiting for that last minute inspiration. Some call it panic.
I'm auditioning for the senior directed one acts tomorrow. Good luck, me. There are only 6 parts for guys so I'm going to have to act my little heart out. Then on wednesday I have to give a monologue for theater arts. It's about cows. It's pretty funny. I just need to memorize it...
I asked Father Sessa today how you get into his directing class and he said I could just sign up because I took Theater Arts and I have enough experience in theater. I'm so excited! Directing will be such a great experience, plus it's not like I'll be that busy senior year. It's gonna be awesome! I'm totally getting theater bug or whatever.
I read the play Waiting for Godot over the weekend. I think it's awesome. I wish I understood more of it, it'd be nice if I could talk to someone who has read it recently and knows what it's about. Well, anyway, I wrote some dialogue after reading it. It's not supposed to be like waiting for godot or anything. I just wanted it to sound real. And maybe funny. So here's some of it. It's about two guys who are bored at a sleepover. The names are random. It's nothing special, but maybe I can use it for something. Feedback is always welcome.
Phillip: You can’t go home!
Jason: Of course I can. I’ll just call my parents.
Phillip: They’d ask you why you were going home.
Jason: I’d tell them I was bored.
Phillip: You’re such an asshole.
Jason: (angry) You invited me!
Phillip: Okay okay, I’ve thought of something we can do.
Jason: (suspiciously) What?
Phillip: We can talk about girls. Guys are always talking about girls right?
Jason: I guess.
Phillip: So who do you like?
Jason: Stephanie.
Phillip: Ooooh Stephanie!
Jason: Shut up, Phillip.
Phillip: (sarcastically) Sor-ry. What do you like about Stephanie then.
Jason: I don’t know. She’s totally hot. And she’s smart too. Like she’s always getting A’s in math and stuff.
Phillip: (laughing) Yes...those A's are important.
Jason: (after thinking it over) Yeah. It’s better than failing class. Then if she was your girlfriend, you’d have to tutor her and crap like that. (pause) But she’s really hot.
Phillip: Yeah. Are you going to ask her out?
Jason: No!
Phillip: Why not? You like her right?
Jason: Yeah, but I don’t know if she likes me. I won’t ask her out unless I know she likes me.
Phillip: That’s gonna take forever.
Jason: Well maybe she’ll just tell me she likes me.
Phillip: (laughing) That would be nice.
Jason: Yeah. That won’t happen. I dunno, I gotta feel more comfortable before I can ask her out.
Phillip: You’re just putting it off. You should just bite the bullet and get it over with.
Jason: (sarcastically) Oh yeah? Thanks Mr. Never-had-a-girlfriend. Who do you like then, smartass?
So now I should do some studying or revising or whatever for freaking exams.
Girls are pretty. I try to date them.
