I need a senior quote!
Today at school I got the sheet that's got yearbook stuff--senior quote, senior superlatives, my list of activities... yeah. Speaking of activities--have I done anything other than drama club 10, 11, 12; prep players 11, 12; and because I feel like listing it, philosophy club 10? And fencing 9, but that's like... there's only one other person in the school who would have any idea what I'm talking about, really. Well, I exaggerate, but yeah. And the sheet says to only add things we've done for at least two years, though I think that's more for the people who have actually done things...
But for a quote! For a really long time I've wanted this to be my senior quote:
"The problem is, or rather one of the problems, for there are many, a sizable number of which are continually clogging up the civil, commercial, and criminal courts in all areas of the Galaxy, and especially, where possible, the more corrupt ones, this. The previous sentence makes sense. That is not the problem. This is: Change. Read it through again and you'll get it."
But, of course, it's too long. Shame! I had a contingency quote, though, and that's:
"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."
BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE! If you haven't seen that before, you need to read the wikipedia page on that sentence. Seriously, a sentence has an article. And I love the sentence. My only worry is--no, not that it's a bit too esoteric, because that's a good thing--it's that the possibility of mangling by the yearbook people is way high. All they have to do is miscount the buffaloes, or capitalize the wrong one(s), and the sentence is completely messed up. Or at least a little messed up. Hmm.
In other quote news, "Handing Jesus a milkshake"! That may be the best quote ever to come from a page of Mr. Wallace's notes. And you know what? I'm not going to give you context, because it's so awesome it doesn't need context. HANDING JESUS A MILKSHAKE!
To sneakily change the subject without being abrupt, milkshake = dulce de leche! And hey, what a surprise! Guys and Dolls!
The cast list did go up today, but Mrs. Hoover was slightly cruel with it... it didn't go up until the school day was nearly over. Before that, she was joking about how she hadn't been aware she was supposed to share it, so she'd framed it and put it on her wall at home... mhmm.
So, back during auditions, I had decided that I was going to hope for "one of the fugue guys," because I hadn't yet actually learned the characters' names. I have since learned the characters, and I know that Nicely-Nicely has the biggest part of the three (he has Sit Down! Such a fun song.) but he's also a tenor part, and a tenor I am not... Benny and Rusty are both lower parts, but Benny is a bigger part just 'cause he talks more. (Or so I hear. I haven't actually read the script or seen the show or anything...) So if I wanted to be the best possible fugue guy I could be, I would want to be Benny. Or Nicely, but then I would have to wonder why Mrs. Hoover had "voice part:" on the audition form if she was just going to ignore it...
In any case, I am indeed Benny. Yay!
So I've been looking at the part of Nathan, and--he doesn't actually sing all that much, does he? Wikipedia says in The Oldest Established and Sue Me, and in TOE it's not very hard... so really Nathan's only song is Sue Me. Which is good, because the person cast as Nathan... not so much a fantastic singer. (Those who know who I'm talking about: He was Hero in Forum.) I'm not going to comment on his acting, because I haven't really seen it since Forum last year (seeing The Diviners doesn't count) and it's entirely possible that he's improved. Like I have!
Well, we'll see.
Rumors of snow tomorrow! Mosaic may be postponed... again...
Well, we'll see.
PS: You know how I said that I'd talk today about stuff that happened over the weekend? Well, I lied.
