Play writing? I'm your man!

Yuh, I just wrote a play about a family going out for fast food in the fifties. Well, that's not really true, my friends helped- we (a group of four) have to write, direct, and perform a play about the fifties to satisfy our teacher- and so far I think we've done pretty well. Basically, I typed on a computer, and the rest of the group read over my shoulder and told me what to change and what to keep. I was writing in the same trance I descend into when I write fanfiction. I re-read it when I'm done and think 'huh. I wrote that?'

This is why very often, I'll come back to my laptop the next day and accidentaly open a file marked 'new text document' and walk away forever scarred.

I'm very slowly becoming obsessed with the song 'todah li aba' by Itzik Orlev. It's one of dem catchy-beat songs. Plus it's got a piano! Sol'd!

Speaking of piano, I'm seriously getting more desperate than ever in school...The piano is RIGHT FRIGGIN THERE! I like sit at the bench during break and munch quietly on my cereal bars while I try REALLY REALLY hard not to open up and start playing. Sometimes I play right hand only, so it's not technically a song. But it's completely and totally not working out. I need to play zeh MUSIC! My techinique at home is slipping too because I can't practice during the day.

And don't say "well then just play anyway, and when the charaidim jump on you, just tell them it's for practice". Cuz that no worky. It doesn't matter WHAT you do, it's not good enough for the ultra-brats I deal with (no offense intended ultra-brats, you all know who you are)

For some reason, I keep thinking to myself- "Just wait till next year. You'll be in high-school! You'll be the youngest class! It's not POSSIBLY to still be dealing with snivelling little brats then!"

Somehow I doubt that. Still, the prospect of 'next year will be SOOOO much better' is looming over me. Now I'm drastically afraid of disappointment. I've been looking forward to high-school for a while because it defines an important section in one's life: when you stopped being a kid and became an adult (theoretically speaking). Whenever my parents start a sentence with 'back when I was in high-school' I find myself instantly entranced. Maybe it's because I've always really liked learning about history- what stuff was LIKE back then. (which makes Assassin's Creed all the more enjoyable, they do a FANTASTIC job of bringing the past to life) but even before we had a video game console I read books like 'Time for Andrew', and the magic treehouse books. Who could forget them?

Meh. That's a lot of words. I have to go to deviantart and satisfy my craving to look at AC motivational posters.

sleepily,
