Ah, whatever. She can be as annoyed as she wants, considering I got spit all over me today XP
Not fun. But at least it wasn't McNally spit. That's disgusting
Okay, so. Trying to finish my script. I wrote it out, though, and I like it, so now I just have to type the second half and print out all 50+ pages total ^.^;;;

Well, at least ya got it written out. Merely transferring already-written text onto the computer is a snap, for me at least. 'Cause I'm a super-speedy typer.
Dang......50 pages? The script we're doing for our one-act is only gonna be a little over 10 pages.

Well, so is mine. But there are six copies I need to print. Thank God my dad fixed the printer today, otherwise I'd be dead
Heh, I had to make another character for myself in the play, just because I needed a person to play the director, and I love that character so much. She's just like me, kinda, except a teacher.
*is still grossed out at the thought of spit* I think I'll bring goggles tomorrow, as protection. An umbrella might work better, though

Ah. Betcha I'd be doin' a lot of sleepin' in that class if I had her for a teacher, then. *pictures it, then laughs a little* That'd be awesome. Now then, I think I'ma go check up on Mr. Midnight's servant boy. *wanders over to Letheo's couch* Hey there.  How's it goin'? |

She has all the sarcastic, funny lines. Well, Jen and Kate are the comic relief characters, and they're pretty good. But I borrowed a Marx Brothers line that I just heard again today. Kate and Jen are coming up with theories as to why their friend, Lauren (the main character) didn't come to rehearsal, because Alicia's fretting about that. At rehearsal.....
ALICIA: Ready?
JEN: Hold up, where's Lauren?
KATE: Yeah, she isn't here, and she's supposed to give us a ride home!
ALICIA: Not to mention help out with rehearsal. I need someone with enthusiasm around here.
KATE: I don't think she's here today
JEN: I bet she didn't come because she's allergic to acting
ALICIA: .......what?
JEN: Just a thought
KATE: It's possible, y'know
JEN: I bet that's the reason
ALICIA: Brilliant, you two. Why don't you guys bore holes in yourselves and let the sap run out?
^.^ I hope it brings some laughs. I know some teachers will find it funny. We're performing these at our Synthesis event, too. I doubt I'll be going through one Synthesis throughout m entire high school career without being in a play or two. Or six
And I'm gonna finish this goshdamned script! *types like crazy*
LETHEO: *smiles a little* Hi. Not too bad, actually. I got around and explored some today. It was.......interesting...

I bet a vast majority of the students won't get it.
*nods* "Interesting" is a word often used to describe this place. Most usually, it's an understatement. But, I'm glad ya got a chance to explore.
^^ Whose Line is on and it's got Jeff Davis on it. He's wicked hot & freakin' hilarious. Me ish a happy Lizzie. ;D

Yeah, but they could still think the joke itself is funny. Plenty of the teachers haven't seen the Marx Bros, either. Probably cause they're all really young (except Greg, but most of the time he acts like a little kid. he's one of my favorite teachers eva ^.^)
*is reading old Burma-shave slogans* Oh gosh, these are great. You just don't see creative stuff like this anymore. I mean, c'mon, picture it. You're driving down the road, and instead of seeing a slut on a billboard ad, you see a nice little sign with words of wisdom, such as:
The hero
Was brave and strong
And willin'
She felt his chin--
Then wed the villain
Burma-Shave
HaHA

Well, that's what I meant. I don't think they'd get the joke itself. *shrugs* I dunno. I just can't picture it getting a laugh out of a bunch of 15-year-olds. But whatever. I'm probably just underestimating the intelligence of your class.

We aren't all fifteen. And there'll be parents there, too, and teachers. As long as someone thinks it's funny. Actually, as long as someone thinks the play itself is good. The point of it really isn't to be funny, but there's a lot of dialogue anyway, and I was starting to lose it with no comedy. Had to have a line or two, y'know?

Yea, I know whatcha mean.
Our one-act isn't gonna be hilarious, but this one scene will be. The play is about a foreign exchange student (played by an actual foreign exchange student from Afghanistan) who starts his first day at a new American school. He likes this girl. So these mean girls give him "helpful" advice on how to win her over & be cool. We're gonna have him acting all gangsta & stuff. It'll be hilarious. 'Cause he's usually really quiet & sweet, and he's gonna be all street. And his thick accent will just make it all the more funny.
