A writer's block. And lets just talk.

When one finds oneself stuck.
I would not call it a writer's block.
But rather a lack of inspiration.
And though I would not call it, oh I don't know, a lack of oxygen.
It does feel a little empty.
So I will just talk.
Romeo and Juliet.
What we are studying in English.
And I must admit I hate to admit this.
I 'kinda' appreciate Shakespeare.
I guess when you look at something in depth.
There's always more.
And that something more.
Is what makes it so clever.
And how he uses poetry and writing skills.
Well, I wish I had his skills
And then there's my shaved carrot joke.
A joke a fine comedian - yours truly, made up.
But everything think its terrible.
But everyone still laughs at its stupidity.
And in a way.
Thats why its a joke.
Its not clever, but it made people laugh.
In fact, one could say because of how bad it is.
Its good.

And, so with the effort of a tired Friday evening brain.
I wrote a blog post.
About.
Well, being uninspired.

What did the shaved carrot say to the cucumber?
'I'm smoother than you.'
What did the cucumber say to the shaved carrot?
'At least I'm cooler than you.'

I'm joking, its just bad. But considering its the first joke I have ever made up.
I think I have a good chance of being better than Michael McIntyre.

Sometimes its best not to audition.

Well, its back to school now, and every year our school does a school production. Aaaand this year its The sound of music.
Now a lot of people want to audition for parts of the Von Trapp family, because those parts are open to the younger students.

My friend would like to audition, but, I'm a little worried for her. Just because of what happened last year.
She had auditioned for the part of Ariel, in the play Tempest. Unfortunately, she did not gain the part and received the part of a nymph/spirit. Our other friend had also auditioned and also got the part of a spirit alongside her.
In the play, she had one line and the other had no lines. And even worse, they were shadows, meaning no one could see their face.
They went to all the rehearsals, they even learnt other people's lines and they were very dedicated.

On the night, (they only had one performance), the performance was terrible - this is what they told me. And when it was their part...
They stood behind the screen, because they were shadows, she delivered her line - which no one could hear, and they danced.
The lights behind them was off. Meaning that when they dance, No one could see them . All their hard work led up to them dancing unknowingly behind the screen.

Encore.
