"half-freaked school board"
by ~*not_your_star*~ on April 22, 2003*evil laugher*.... well folks, you would be so proud. i just returned from perfoming "Half-Hanged Mary" for my local school board. "Half-Hanged Mary" is a poetry piece by Margaret Atwood that i performed this year for dramatic competition and made it to the state competition with. It's about Mary Webster, who was accused of witchcraft in the early 1600's. She was innocent, but survived the hanging... anyways, so.... lets just say i use a lot of loud vocal qualities (i.e. screaming at the top of my lungs) at certain peaks throughout the piece. to say the least i got a lot of priceless reactions. including laughter at a completely non-funny moment from my mother. okay, maybe you guys can help me out a little here.... what is so funny about (me looking at my shoulder while saying) "death sits on my shoulder like a crow waiting for the squeezed beat of a heart to BURST so he can eat my eyes!!" i dunno, lol.... i'm just glad my mother laughed and didn't cry.... a motherly thing, she cries anytime i do anything........ haha... poor me. oh well, just thought i'd share my fun of scaring the old folks who run my school for a living. it was great............
*small binder to hold my poetry piece: $5
*construction paper and glue to create neat and professional pages for my poetry to reside on: $1
*seeing the faces of my audience each and every time i perform the finished project: priceless
