Drama, Music and a Different Kind of drama

Seven-ten Director Projects auditions are done. They were really disorganised this year, when I was in year seven we went around to all the groups and read bits of their plays out loud so they could see what we'd be good at, not just play impro games a whole lunch, get told what the plays were and have to write them down. Bah.

Anyway, Diana's and my play got commended (top ten) for Page to Stage even though the teachers vetoed it for DP as too emotional ^_^ and Chloe's actually got selected. Pleasant surprise.

Yesterday at guitar we learned House of the Rising Sun. It's really awesome, it's slow with picking :D everyone else hates it of course. I forgot to print out the GP tabs for Road Trippin and Otherside, but I played Carla a bit of RT and she recognised it, so at least I know they're accurate. I'll bring them in next time. I got there much earlier than normal and escaped the OMGNOISE of the beginners class to play pool by myself downstairs. Damo was engrossed in some kind of car racing video game. Then we played fooseball, at which I pwned. FINALLY time to go upstairs, where we got jellybeans cos we're speshal :P and the other three kids rocked up kind of late.

Afterwards I went home and got bitched at by my msn, which is a bitch. Then my mum called me downstairs to help write the assignment for her class tomorrow. I ended up doing most of it. It was excruciating. In fact, it was so much so that I was able to call on it in Drama today when we were asked to look angry/irritated.

We're learning about the Stanislavski method. I've heard of him before from going to a workshop about Chekhov, and I've basically been doing the same thing since I started doing drama, so it's not exactly new, but it's cool anyway, because Stanislavski is very good. Then we acted out bits from Property of the Clan, where I did a rather good job as a whiny obnoxious brat. Yay.

In multi we practiced shooting things.

I want egg salad.

Mhehehe. Pity Diana doesn't have a livejournal, I would laugh SO hard if she was my stalker ^_^ it would be ironic. Anyway, people... GO FORTH AND QUIZ!

In other news, I forgot to mention before that BBC completely and utterly butchered Macbeth, especially the character of Lady Macbeth. She's such a whore! That's just not RIGHT! Honestly people, when she's doing her "unsex me here" speech she's supposed to be saying "Argh I hate being a woman, I'm mean enough to be a man and I should have that power" and she IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE lying on a bed with her legs open massaging her breasts and getting steadily more excited as the speech progresses!

GAH! My brain is soiled! Stan's response to my rant was "so the director missed the 'un' - a common mistake". But, come on man... argh. I just... have no further words. Ew. I'm not even going to DESCRIBE her conduct with Macbeth himself. We're not even halfway through the movie! I shudder to think what we're still in line for! Ew, ew, ew! And now, a letter to the people in my grade re formal*:

Dear People Involved In The Formal,

The aforementioned Formal is Screwed Up. At least People are now seriously considering Yi's Dockside suggestion, which means I might actually go - but NOT if they have it at Luna Park in August, I mean come on WTF? A Reliable Source claims that Nobody voted for August but Someone booked it for then with Selfish Purposes... HOWEVER, a different Reliable Source claims that everybody voted for August. And that Source is not Someone. So obviously one of my Reliable Sources is not so Reliable after all. Ah well, whatever. I'm still going to Avi's formal, so I can afford to not go to ours if it Sucks. I'm told most of the Fun of a Formal is the Afterparty, and I do not trust My Grade with Afterparties, so that might be All For the Best anyway. My Grade means, of course, the Main Groups which would be organising an "Official" Afterparty - I'd be willing to attend separate Afterparties via one of the many smaller Groups I know, but I'm generally only friends with like one or two people from each of them, so that would involve at least half the group going "Who is this and what happened to the monkey?" which would not be Worth It anyway.

In conclusion, Make Your Bloody Minds Up, Dammit,

Maggie


*Disclaimer: I'm not actually pissed off. I thought this was funny. I mean this whole situation. Whatever, there's always Year Twelve.
