So, I've been pretty busy lately with homework and such, so I haven't been able to post, or even really go on LJ. Now that I have a free moment, I'm going to bitch. I'm sorry flist!
So, I'm extremely angry at the part I got in my school's fall play.
I was a lead last year(second-to-last bow), and this year I'm a playing a bitch sister in the part of the play that's a shitty Cinderella rip-off( the director wrote it himself...it's much better than last year's, though). I feel that I'm a much better actor than this part. I don't get much stage time, and I just come on stage, be a bitch, get called ugly a million times(yeah, it's great), wimp out and leave. Oh and I throw myself at some guy, who calls me ugly, too. AWESOME. My sister is the other one, so for the third year in a row we're interchangeable parts. At least last year they were good parts, likable characters. He's like "Oh, any actor would kill to play the villain!" Uhm, yeah, a REAL, WELL-WRITTEN villain with MOTIVATION and a purpose greater than making every other character look better and get a few cheap laughs by being abused. The girl with "THE lead" is a sophomore and isn't all that great; she did one pretty good monologue in drama class last year and now he's creaming his pants over her, even though she sounds so artificial when she acts. The worst part is, Mr. Schwartz praises us all the time, called us "brilliant", said we were excellent instinctual actors, basically says that we shit rainbows, and then shows it by giving us a shit part. I'm so pissed, horribly disappointed, and utterly confused. Mariel and I are going after school to talk to him tomorrow. I'll probably end up sounding like a totally conceited diva(like I am now), but I have to. He probably can't switch around our parts or anything, but I just want to let him know.
To change gears, I'll talk about some T.V. =] Glee was....disappointing. I loved the cute little Kurt moments, but...I don't know, it just felt very blah to me. I'm so sick of Rachel; I don't think she's so much better than the other Glee kids. I think Mercedes has a better voice, tbh, and I'm done with Rachel and Finn getting so many solos. I think the Glee club can survive without Rachel. As a choir nerd, and being in jazz choir last year(auditions are tomorrow, btw-ah!), I feel terrible for the other Glee kids. So many of those songs can have more than 2 soloists: just have two kids sing the first verse, another 2 the second verse, etc, etc, etc. I don't know, I just want to hear some other voices.
I just watched The Office and loved the adorable Jim and Michael moment at the end. This season is still so good; it's exciting!
I'm off to watch Project Runway and try to reign in my inner-bitchy-diva. How've you guys all been?
