I will surprise your castle.

Sorry, Sideshow Mel.

Blueboy, you may know what the title of this post is referring to! If not, you will soon!

So, the cast list for my school's production of Macbeth went up today. I got a pretty fair role. It's the one that Homer was playing in the above picture.

If you're not familiar with The Simpsons, then:

1. Shame on you.
2. I got the role of Macbeth, since you may not have inferred it from that image.
3. Shame on you.

And the casting is very exciting! A lot of new names! Some of the roles were reversed in terms of gender (Banquo, for example)! Oh, and female Banquo's son, Fleance, and I are ethnically-similar! Time to break out an episode of Maury.

Now begins the best part of the entire process: basically everything leading up the shows! Be it designing, rehearsing, reading, eating, long days, etc., it's all absolutely awesome! In the case of this play, I happen to have a large workload, so I'll be present in every rehearsal. All the more fun, but I'll need to make sure to STOP PROCRASTINATING about my work in other subjects. I don't want to get frazzled!

I'm way too excited for this. I'm already working on key monologues and soliloquies. My insanity has also led me to re-read the entire play, picturing everyone in their roles. This is probably very stupid of me, as we aren't necessarily following the confines of the play. Oh, and for some reason, I lose my terrible habit of rushing words when I speak in ye olde English, so this stuff works!

Now, I also need to put some of my time and attention to improv, which is set to start next week! The same day that the 'Meet the Cast' of the play occurs! This will be a good year for my artsy-fartsy side, which has already practically pushed aside my aspirations for a medical career!

On a side note, I asked my mother (whose name is Cynthia) if I could borrow her Garchomp. She nonchalantly said "Okay." I will ignore any sarcasm and I will go by my belief that she either has a Garchomp or is the real Cynthia, champion of Sinnoh. Either one will suffice.
