I auditioned yesterday...I basically stunk...
Ok, so the story is, I'm in the Drama society, the dramas preform 4 plays each semester. This time round it's The Tragical history of Doctor Faustus, Crime and Punishment, A Midsummer night's dream and Claxons, Trumpets and Raspberries. I want to be in one of them. Preferably as an actor, but if not, perhaps backstage. Now, I auditioned, or tried to, for Claxons first. I realised I'm not very good at modern plays cus I had no clue how to portray this character I had to read. (Besides that, my mind was on the 3000 euro the tax officers thought I had to pay back, but thankfully that turned out to be not me) Aaaanyway. I was rubbish and decided never to audition again.
I did though, for Faustus, and even if I don't get cast for anything, which I think is the case, I still think I did a good job! I found out I'm much much better at Old 1600's iambic pentamater plays than at something that has to resemble the present...I was indeed born in the wrong century. Sooooo, now I'm going to try out for something a good buddy of mine wrote, my old friend William. Maybe I can be a fairy...I bet I can flutter about on stage a little....doesn't even have to be lines really.
In other news, I discovered the pleasure that is eating potato waffels at 11 o' clock at night. Seriously, the pure delight of a warm, steaming yellow ovensnack with some mayo and ketchup after you've been out in the cold is incomparable to any other thing you could be doing at 11 o'clock in the evening. No, don't try to agrue, you can't. Potato goodness, throathy warmth and greasy fingers all in one. Secondly, I'm also very pleased with the little fact I'm will be writing for the University magazine, arts section, which entails free passes to any concert, gig, theatre event etc I want to attend if only I write an article about it for the paper. yay, I've got some ideas in the back of my head that will serve that purpose, and my own, very well.

Little fact? That seems really cool, you can attend any show, concert or play for free? I'd make use of it!
It's cool you're doing auditions for the plays, just stick to the roles and be confident you can do it! Eventually you will succeed i'm sure :-))
That's so great that you can attend any concert, play or show for free..I would totally abuse that position if I were you!! ;>) And as for auditioning for the plays, that's really brave of you...I can't believe how quickly you are settling in!
The waffles thing, I'm afraid you're on your own on that one, I can't stand them!!
Btw, did you get the email I sent you?!
Myrthe! Wow, you're jumping right into life up there. Hope you can breathe in every wonderful experience and be fuller because of it. And yes, you were equipped for another century, but you weren't born in the wrong one! You simply must show us the goodness of those other centuries today, perhaps as a fluttering fairy. :)
Love ya,
Emma
