Of Banquets and Banquo


So it was quite an exciting and interesting "Meet the Cast" session today!

First off, Mac apparently believes that Best Friend (who plays a female Banquo in the play, by the way) and I have major 'sexual tension.' We absolutely believe its from the fact that we are best friends of the opposite gender, which seems to be an enigma of a concept that few can comprehend! It makes as much sense as the following:

"You're like the coffee without the omelet."

Mac could just be a hormone-driven sex-beast preying on poor and innocent children, such as myself, after all. Such undesirables do not benefit the clean and mature environment that I flourish in! There are other roles for these libido-loving leeches of innocence!


Anyways, I'm just kidding! I'm probably so corrupt and toxic that I could work for BP, but that's for another day. Best Friend and I both found it pretty hilarious that Mac thinks like that!

On a related note, the stage veterans of this play were given newcomers to 'adopt', in a mentor-like capacity, I suppose. As a veteran with some previous experience, I was given three 'children' to 'adopt'. I wanted to adopt some ethnic babies, but frickin' Madonna and Angelina Jolie got all the coloured kids.

Anyways,  the three children I got seem pretty cool (and I already think one of them is absolutely awesome). Two of them are people I'm not familiar with, and they don't seem like the loud type (unlike myself). I've got to make sure that they are comfortable in the environment, especially considering the fact that it's dominated by people like Seyton/Satan and Medic! Those two are catalysts of chaos! Once they've settled down, I'm sure they can be very social towards everyone. The third fella, who I'll call Elmo due to his awesome/unique voice and his love of puppetry, is awesome! I met him during club day, and his personality is very engaging and cool. I can't wait to work with him, and he doesn't seem like a shy person!

Of course, I'll make sure to give them the most help in the acting department; with lines and actions and such. I'm there at every rehearsal, so I'll see them all anyways. I've heard I do very well in that department, according to Lady Duff.

In the words and actions of Blueboy: "I'm so excited!!!"
