tabular_rasaToday was a good day today. I am totally channeling my Megumi character!
I got an A on my Introduction to East Asian Religions midterm paper (95%!), and so that was infinitely good. Then, we talked about WWII in Japanese Civilization, which was good-- in a masochistic sort of way. Hey, I need the research for me
MY JAPANESE CIVILIZATION TEACHER SO SHOT DOWN THAT WWII BUFF WHO WAS TRYING TO TELL ME I WAS WRONG ON NANOWRIMO!!! MUHAHA!!! Lol . . . I mean, she didn't do it PERSONALLY . . . she just re-proved the points I told them they were wrong with, and she has a Ph.D, lol . . .
Ahh, I love it when I'm right ^_^ and when people who have the credentials to prove they're right agree with me . . . it's one step from having them myself, lol . . .
Now's the part where I'm channeling Megumi. We're having tryouts for Much Ado About Nothing, and I went and signed up for a slot at 8:36 (so random) tonight (all the Tuesday slots were taken, lol . . . ). That's the Megumi part. Now, we need to arrange a Shakespearian monologue for the tryouts. I'm doing the Juliet-takes-the-potion scene because 1) I've done it before and 2) I happen to have a copy of Romeo and Juliet in my room, and that's it, lol . . . along with the fact that I love Romeo and Juliet and all that, and also that I got a Juliet-that-looks-like-me quiz result today (well . . . I made the quiz, lol . . . ).
So, like Megumi, in Japanese I did practically nothing but think about my monologue, lol . . . that's so exactly what Megumi did in my story, lol . . .
So . . . voodoo-story says that I get a part . . . preferrably the lead . . . and that my opposite ends up being in love with me . . .
. . . and then the country decides it hates me and sends me away to a desert camp.
No-- so, since that can't happen, lol (or at least I hope-- well, kind of . . . ) not, I'm just going to have to settle for what I get, if I even get anything. Besides, the play's not Romeo and Juliet, lol . . .
Besides, I don't even know whether we're supposed to have the monologue MEMORIZED or not. I'm assuming no, but still, lol . . .
Still, to get myself in the mood, I have arranged a Romeo and Juliet soundtrack. A TOTAL Romeo and Juliet soundtrack, that takes up several hours on my playlist. It contains the full (well, as full as I've got, lol . . . ) Prokofiev ballet, the Evanescence songs that apply in what I call the "Romeo and Juliet Suite," instrumental songs from the 1996 Romeo and Juliet, and even a MIDI file of "What Is A Youth?" from the 1968 version of Romeo and Juliet. All I need to add now is the (long-ass) Tchaikovsky Fantasia Suite on Romeo and Juliet (and, well, the Berlioz and Gonoud versions of the ballet/play, plus I'm sure there are many more out there, lol . . . ), and I'll be all set for all my Romeo and Juliet music! Woot! Lol . . .
