No worries! Next time I get something... ;)

 

Ughhh NeoAvatars isnt loading so I cant check it off right now.

Posted

the wishing well is awesome. I give it 100 NP a day. ^_^

 

And lookie! Rain!! :laughingsmiley: Here it comes ...

Posted

I'm also waiting for Nerkmid prices to go down a little bit. I need that avatar. And I need to start working on the luck game ones, like the Cheese Roller, Buried Treasure.... etc.

Posted

I try cheese roller twice or thrice a day. But I haven't got that avatar yet.

 

I am not going to buy the Nerkmid. *looks at bank balance* No way! :laughingsmiley:

Posted

I'm avoiding the luck ones. I'll get to them eventually.

 

Anyway, topic, topic, topic... Or I could stop being lazy; I need to go find a monologue. Hm... should I go dramatic or comedic?

Posted

Mkay. I've picked out a comedic monologue and a dramatic one. Both are pretty good. Anyone else?

Posted

Alright. This is a more young-person-friendly monologue that I also considered.

You want to know what made me do it? You want to know why I'm here today?

I wish I had a good story for you.

I wish I could tell you something tragic so that your world would make sense again.

I wish I could stand here and make excuses.

I wish my life could have been more evil and awful, so that I would have something to blame it on.

I had a - functional family. Purely functional. Father worked full time, mother worked part time, us children went to school and out at night. Our lifestyles were specifically designed so that we didn't have to spend more than an hour at a time in each other's company. That's how we functioned.

I'm normal. I had a happy childhood, give or take. I did ok in school, got a B aggregate. I wasn't cool, but I wasn't a nerd. I'm not bravely religious nor anti-religious. I was middle class. I was the middle child. I'm not fat. I'm not ugly. I'm NORMAL! DANGIT! NORMAL!

You want an excuse?

The dog ate it.

The car broke down.

I forgot.

I left it at home.

I already have plans.

I thought that was what you told me to do.

It was aliens, men from another planet.

I got lost.

My alarm didn't go off.

My computer crashed.

The printer ran out of ink.

I was sick.

I couldn't find my keys.

Your phone was engaged.

I don't have any change.

I already have one of those.

I don't have any money on my cellphone.

The train was late.

It got lost in the post.

That's how it happened. That's why I'm here today. It makes sense, doesn't it? Because most of the world's mistakes aren't huge crashing mistakes, they're tiny little ones, that just add up. Like pulling out the last Jenga block and watching the tower crash onto the table in front of you and knowing that you screwed up. And you know what? While you're busy pulling other blocks out, and managing to balance them, miraculously, no one notices. No one cares. Things are going right, so what? But when you pull that last block out, when everything collapses, then everyone notices. Then everyone knows. And the persons who didn't pull out that particular block, who may have played an equal role in the destruction, they can sit by smugly and watch as you pick up the pieces and build your tower again.

 

Reading it now, I doubt y'all will find it funny, but if you imagine someone actually performing it, it's pretty amusing.

Posted

That's the point. The person is making up all these excuses, but never actually tells you what they're making up excuses for. :P

Posted

laughingsmiley.gif That was pretty entertaining. xD

 

And that reminded me about that game. I haven't played that in forever. :O

Posted

Yay ^_^ I'm glad someone found it entertaining. I just hope my director agrees. :laughingsmiley:

Posted

That was totally amazing Livvy. ^_^ I didn't know, you had such a good imagination.

 

The dog ate it. - best excuse ever. :laughingsmiley:

Posted

Hahaha I love it! Can you send me the funny one too? I wanna see! If this is the childish one...these are great livvy!

Posted

Oh, no, I didn't write it; I found it. I plan to memorize it for auditions for the next play (which will probably be a drama rather than a comedy, but oh well.) The list format is gonna make it tough to remember though.

Posted

Ooohh trying out for plays, eh? I personally dont act, but I love watching plays. And you will definitely get in. You are just cool like that. b)

Posted

Plays? I remember when I was in a play. Kindergarten, it was. I was the Ice Queen, and I had to freeze everyone. :laughingsmiley: Interesting role, wasn't it?
