ONLY COMMENT ON THIS THREAD IF YOU THINK ALL TECH'YS SHOULD BE SHOT!
It is never a good sign when you come offstage to an apologising Theatre Studies teacher because the Tech was THAT bad it could have actually affected our grade.

OH MY GIDDY AUNT!!
It wasn't a complete disaster! 'Find me' wasn't actually that bad. I mean, it was kind of brilliant! Some of the people in this play are going to score really highly when the moderator comes tomorrow. I highly doubt that I will, especially when compared to the others in our group, and the written paper is going to be a disaster (and I think that all are agreed on this). But hey! We pulled it off. I must be really lucky.

SORRY... IT'S BEEN A WHILE :(
The thing is I don't actually have anything to say. My life has been relatively dull. Our performance of 'Find Me' is on in three days and, believe me, 'Find Me' makes 'Midsummer' look over rehearsed. We're screwed, but this one counts for a shocking amount of our exam. However (good news ^-^) as the last resort of my Theatre Studies teacher, I get to direct the half hour Shakespeare Schools version of 'King Lear' all by my billy todd!! ^-^ Woot!!
I am actually quite looking forward to this, as long as the year tens do as they're told, but admittedly last year the biggest pain up the arse is too old to be in this production, so all should go well. This is on in October, which means that as soon as I go back after study leave (if not before) then the rehearsals will start for that, because there is going to be another mad panic about three days before that because some people won't have learnt their lines (which reminds me, I got a mug!!! All of the Midsummer cast did, it has a cast picture on it, tis really cool!). But that means that the first meeting for Midsummer was the very first day of school, and I'm very willing to bet there will be a 'Lear' rehearsal on the last day of school, which will mean that there will not have been a point during this school year that I will not have been working on a production. Which is really weird, good lord I need a social life!
What should we be called though? When we did 'Much Ado About Nothing' we were the 'Much Ado Crew', and then we were the 'Midsummer Dream Team', but the only word I can think of that rhymes with 'Lear' is..... well... Nobody wants to be known as the 'King Lear Queers' do they??

AGAIN... I'M ONLY POSTING TO KILL TIME...
I am an average,
A painful average,
I have lived in the same
Averaged size house, on an
Average street, in an
Average little town,
my entire life.
And when I look out of my
Average size window,
I can see hills,
Mountains,
Caging me in,
Warning, threatening that
Average is something I will never rise above.
But the word average never appears in my dreams.
In my dreams I am stood on top of those mountains.
I am staring out into a beautiful world where I can be anything,
Where average does not exist.
And then I wake up.
In the same
Average size bed. In my
Average little house.
But those dreams…
It is our dreams that give us hope.
That tell us we can defeat our demons.
Our dreams remind us that
Average is not an aspiration,
It is merely a stepping stone.

AWWW... THIS IS ACTUALLY QUITE COOL...
Me and my sister were clearing some junk from the attic today, and we stumbled across a time capsule we made approximately five years ago. It was really cool. We found letters that we had written to ourselves and had a right laugh at pictures of ourselves that shall never again be seen due to their horror.. you should see the matching hairstyles that we were sporting.
But at the very bottom of this time capsule was a tiny locket that I had bought years and years and years ago, and inside this locket was a scrumpled up piece of paper with 'Every Cloud Has A Sliver Lining' written on it. I had completely forgotten that I had ever bought it, and now I've found it again, and it's all very nostalgic and lovely. It was really weird to see how much had changed, and how much hadn't (in the letter to myself I was complaining about being single).
When this time capsule was created my sister hadn't even started dating bloke-with-beard, let alone having a child and moving in with him; the letters PBB were not even being contemplated as anything other than just three random letters, in fact I didn't even know half the PBB.
It was really cool. Now of course I really want to make another one.
Hmmmm.....
