º This week, this week.
This week is the final week before the musical, Throughly Modern Millie, at school. And as some of you know, I'm working set. And we're REALLY behind on it. Like UUBER behind. Incredibly so. I mean, we still need to buy the rest of the brick stuff (not to mention attatching it to the wall wrinkle-free), and finish wallpapering the hotel, and carpet the office bulding, and rehearse moving set, props, and other such items on and off at the right time, and make signs, and fix the typewriters, and touch up the desks, and make a pesticide gun, and hang the drapes, and put up the curtains, and get the elevator working, and postion the facade, and gather all the props. And cater to the whiny actors who keep complaining that they don't have their intercom yet or whatever else they want. And we have a team of eight (8) people who are not all reliable on coming every day. About three or four of us are. So yeah.
Since it's the last week before opening night, all rehearsals are till 7. And it takes me an hour and a half to get home from school (yeah Dx We're moving closer to the school next year...)
Which means I'll be getting home by 8:30 And then I have to do homework and eat and sleep.
So computer time will likely be minimal for the next week. But Saturday is the last night of the play (Friday being the first >.>) and after the cast party, while the current highlight of my life will be gone and I'll be bored out of my mind until we go on our trip to London in May, I'll have plenty of WoI time x) But this week, activity from t3h z4mm3r is likley to be minimal.
Just a warning ^^
(P.S. I won't be able to come on during study hall either, as I'll actually need to use that so that I can keep up with homework >.>)

-- Fall breathes his chilling breath... [/font] o.o Boe, I completely respect you. And I hope your play is as awesome as Veiledeyes is a deranged freak of nature. Which I do expect it to be. xD -has a lot of confidence in others-
And back to the respecting thing, for the fact you put up with the work, do it, and make some time other things. -bow-
And that I hope I still see you in the next week. x3--reminding Earth of times to come... [/left][/color][/center]

º Yay! Indeed I have retunred! And I'm going to copy and paste my reply to Hexxi's PM. So no need to re-read Hexxi :3 (unless of course, you'd like to)
Heh, yeah xD I was starting to miss WoI! I took Sunday off to buy some clothes which I was in desperate need of, but now I'm back and in full throttle soon!
It was so much fun, it's insane! The prodcution was amazing. I just get such a rush from moving the set on and off frantically, and I love putting it together and building it. And we had this HUGE office building structure on wheels that we moved on and off and man, it was just so much fun!
And the cast party afterwards was incredible! It was so much fun! They had karaoke and a cake with the poster on it in icing (spelled wrong--the posters all over the school were spelled wrong on accident xD It was really funny!) And a lot of the hip-hop type songs were dumb and I was sort of a wallflower as usual (which is always fun) until they started singing songs like Yellow Submarine and Bohemian Rhapsody and everyone wasn't dancing they were like, spinning in circles and stuff. That's more my thing.
But anywhoo xD
Thoroughly Modern Millie is about this girl (named Millie, of course) who moves from Kansas to NYC and becomes "modern". (Mind you, it's set in the 1920s). She decides that to be a modern woman, you must marry for status, love comes later, so she scouts out bosses until she finds a suitable one. But he falls in love with her best friend, Miss Dorothy. Meanwhile, the owner of the hotel Millie is staying at, Mrs. Meers (who is an actress pretending to be Chinese) is scouting out orphans and sending them to Hong Kong to become sex slaves (yeah Dx) but nobody knows it except the two Chinese orphans who work for her. Back to Millie: One of her co-workers, Jimmy, falls in love with her, and then she falls in love with him. But then she thinks he's cheating on her with her best friend Dorothy who is staying at Mrs. Meers' hotel and is an orphan (uh-oh). Dorothy gets kidnapped by Mrs. Meers. Millie finds out about it and comes up with a scheme to save her. So do the two Chinese orphans. One falls in love with Miss Dorothy in the process. In the end, Miss Dorothy is saved and Mrs. Meers is exposed. It turns out that Miss Dorothy's brother is the guy Millie fell in love with--so that was just a sibling-like peck, not a loving kiss, that Millie saw. And they're both insanley rich because while they are orphans, their step-mother is Muzzy, a rich celebrity. In fact, Jimmy OWNS the company Millie works at!
So in the end, it all works out. Millie DOES get to marry her boss, on some level, Dorothy is saved and is married to Ching Ho, Muzzy is happy that her step-children find respectable partners, and Mrs. Meers is brought to justice. And what happened to Millie's original boss who fell in love with Dorothy, you may ask? He gets together with the last Chinese orphan, Bun Foo!
So it's a happy-ending, complicated-plot play xD It was the coolest thing ever. It's even better perfomed because it's a comedy and there are a lot of refrences made that are really funny if you've watched the play all the way through.
It was so much fun! I'm really depressed that it ended. We had to take apart the set today. =sigh= Five weeks of work destroyed in two hours...
Sorry I wrote so much, I just really felt the urge to tell everybody about it :3
NEW STUFF I ADDED: I faced my fear of heights! The office building thing I mentioned earlier was made of scaffolding (which is essentially a skeleton made of metal and plywood) and it was three stories high and on wheels and we had some construction workers build it but we carpeted it and everything :3 And I had to climb up on top of it and like, hang paper from it and dangle off the edge of it and stuff. It was SO MUCH FUN! And when we were striking the set it was like a giant jungle gym because all the plywood and everything was off of it and we were climbing up it and stuff!
I got to spraypaint lots of things silver. And we had a working elevator (which was a big wooden box with an open face tied to a pole that goes lower and higher but still) and I got to put graffiti on a wall. And I'm writing too much. I'm sorry. But I just had such a blast working on this thing!

Þ=O Sounds awesome! Through our play this year was pretty funny (and good)...yours is more unique. x3 And your set sounds more interesting, with the rolling buildings...and you made it. We got some carpentry company to do ours. XDD
Still, glad to have you back!--reminding Earth of times to come... [/left][/color][/center]
