Hang Out and Post

[livvy]

We do indeed. But much of my insanity disappeared. I think it eloped with my sleep. I haven't had much of that lately either. :(

[Ruto]

I would think that with less sleep, you'd become more insane. D: Oh well, can you sleep more tonight?

[livvy]

I thought so too, but I've had so little sleep that I'm completely spent. It's pretty bad. But ah well. I could sleep more tonight, but my body has gotten into a habit of not sleeping before 2:30. =\ I'll have a talk with it though, and see if it will agree to sleep extra. ;)

[Ruto]

Well...Nyquil can help, if nothing else works.

[livvy]

Haha, nah. Besides, one night of good sleep doesn't really make up for weeks of deprivation. The biggest thing that will help my insanity level is just hanging around here more. And it would help if y'all would occasionally remind me to do my homework instead of procrastinating.

[Ruto]

Noooo, I can't encourage you not to procrastinate when I'm one of the worst procrastinators around. :P

[livvy]

Hm... Then encourage me to procrastinate and I'll take it as reverse psychology and be reminded to get my work done! :graduated:

 

EDIT: Methinks I spy a Stephanie. Hi Stephanie!

[Ruto]

GO PROCRASTINATE.

 

And Stephanie cannot answer at this time because she is a board-lurking ninja.

[livvy]

Ohh. I always knew Stephanie was a ninja. She's too cool not to be a ninja. :shiftyeyes_anim:

 

Alright, I shall. ...Oh wait, I have Calculus. I should do that.

[amyclae]

Calculus, eh? I hate math of all kinds... I shouldn't have to take anymore at this point, thankfully. It's all theatre classes from here on out! :)

 

Also, I feel your pain with the sleep thing... I've barely slept the last few nights. I think it's cause I'm home and not at school. Oddly enough I sleep way better at school than at home.

[livvy]

Theatre? I love theatre! I'm not exceptionally good at it, but I thoroughly enjoy it. Our school director is quite a character. :P

 

I enjoy math as well. I guess you could call me a nerd. Unfortunately that nerdiness is what has severely impaired my ability to sleep.

[amyclae]

You do? :D I'm a theatre junkie, it's what I wanna do with the rest of my life. I was sooo excited this summer, because last semester I wrote a play for a playwriting class and over the summer one of my professors asked if he could direct it this spring! :) Do you have a favorite playwright or play?

[livvy]

*gasp* That's awesome! :thumbsup: I hope it goes well!

 

I don't really have a favorite play or playwright yet. But I do know that I do not like Shakespeare. Not that he wasn't a great playwright or anything - he has very clever puns and interesting plots - but he's so... long...winded... x_x and if you understand the language, which I do, awfully perverted.

[amyclae]

Haha yeah, I definitely think Shakespeare is overrated. His language is beautiful at times, but it's really difficult to stage, and it's almost never staged well, so it just ends up being boring for the audience and a HUGE pain for the actors and director.

 

Incidentally, we're doing a Shakespeare next semester first thing, haha. Cymbeline. It's super convoluted, but I love my professor and he rearranged it to make it way more understandable. I think it'll be a good show, hopefully... we'll see how it goes. I don't have a big part, I'm just an extra. I have... 3 lines I think, but I get to do a lot of stage combat! I'm a "Celtic Warrior Woman," haha, and word is I'll get to use an axe and wear fur and blue paint. I'm excited :yes:

[livvy]

Axe, fur, and blue paint. Any time those three come together, that's gotta be a fun time. :P

 

We're currently doing Much Ado About Nothing in "No Fear Shakespeare". It's not terribly interesting, but... *shrug* I'm the Sexton/secretary-type person, and the smartest one there in my particular scene. A few years ago, before I joined drama, we did Midsummer Nights Dream, retro style, with clothing and music from the 60's.

 

EDIT: Apparently I've hit my "it's really late and I should be asleep but I'm not" hyperness spurt.

[amyclae]

Ha yeah I know what you mean... I have to work tomorrow exactly 12 hours from now, so I figure I've still got at least 4 hours to be awake. :P Midsummer Night's is actually my least favorite play by Shakespeare that I've read... Much Ado is ok. I've only done three full length Shakespeares before this coming one. I did Romeo and Juliet three years ago, in which I was a chorus member and understudy to Juliet (so I memorized all her lines, though I don't think I remember them all now), then I did Love's Labours Lost, which is a weird one cause it's totally a comedy until the last scene which is super depressing. I was Jaquenetta in that one, and then the year after that I was Bianca in Taming of the Shrew. So I haven't really had any big parts that I was actually performing for haha.

[livvy]

Small parts are okay. Especially in Shakespearean plays, where most of the comedy comes from the smaller characters and most of the convoluted drama from the major. And you don't have to memorize long monologues of Shakespearean speech where you're not really sure what you're saying. With small roles, you only have to memorize snippets of Shakespearean speech where you're not really sure what you're saying. :P

[amyclae]

Yeah I don't mind small parts. I kind of have to not mind them in order to keep my sanity, haha.

[losorlaugh]

OMG.. theatres?? Ugh.. hate the stupid things :O

[Ruto]

I'm not a very good actor. I'll read the lines, but don't expect me to act like another person. :P

[̊ ˉˉ ̊]

I'd be a horrible actor. you couldn't count on me to remember ANY lines xD

[livvy]

I enjoy theatre. I'm not terribly good at it, but I can memorize lines pretty well.

[Unstream]

I'm involved in my school's theater department, but I don't really act, I do background stuff, like building the set and doing the lights and sound. It's more fun and less work that way in my opinion.

[livvy]

That's cool, Will. Afterall, we'd be nowhere without our wonderful backstage people. :yes:

[Captain Awesome Pants]

Aww, he hasn't? :( I'm sorry to lose him. Who's gonna take care of young AA and the muffin now? (If you still remember that.) I noticed in the posts I reread that something seemed to be wrong... I hope he's alright.

 

There were things wrong. But he and I talked. And I straightened it out. But I'm not sure how it is now, since we haven't talked in a while. :(

 

Anyway, back from Indiana. Just had a driving lesson. Went on the interstate. Didn't kill anyone. AND OMGTHEATRE! :woot:
