I hath returned! (Yeah, can’t shake the Shakespearian language … I’m in withdraw: six performances in four days, dear lord, what am I going to do for the next three months?!)

The play was wonderful and six kinds of FANTASTIC and I wish you could all have been there to see it. A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays (Macbeth is another, if you want a long rant, I’ll give it to you when I’ve had sleep), and now that I’m done I think I’ll write a slashified version of it … unless someone already has? Linkies por favor!

These next few weeks shall be spent catching up on all that luverly slash you guys have been posting for the past three weeks (OMG I’m never gonna catch up, am I?) Yes yes yes, I shall write and post stuff too! The Doctor and the Master kept butting into my head while I was in the play, and most of what I was typing when I could get to a computer was about them (but Oberon’s references to the changeling boy ‘stolen from an Indian king’ got me thinking of Mohinder) and I have been adding bits to the next installment of ‘Nightmare Land’ … Mr. Rolex, I have decided, speaks in haiku when taunting Martin. Blame my sleep deprived brain, people.

My left shoe flew off during the Thursday night performance. It went into the aisle thankfully, and the stage manager retrieved it, but I’m insanely proud that I did not break character or laugh or anything. Perhaps because I had about five different things to be doing right after it flew off (falling, sounding disgusted, warning Puck that Titantia was coming, striking a yoga pose, etc.) but still, immense pride.

A few days previously I spent at least ten minutes trying to tie the stupid little pointless bow/tie on said shoe. *headdesk* I swore in English (bloody, bugger, etc.) and people looked at me funny. When actors are looking at you funny, you know you’re in trouble.

Doing my hair was annoying. It took so long … and bobby-pins so easily bend out of shape.

I love the orange roses I got. And I’m pleased that my dance-partner came.

EVERYONE was getting sick, horrifically sick. I just couldn’t get sick because of the play, so I went so far as to hang my head out the window when getting rides from sick people on Monday and Tuesday. I also drank orange juice and Airborne.

My mother was unpacking Easter bunnies this past week at her job, so when she came to see my play and saw the scene where Hermia pulls out a stuffed bunny (during the ‘lie further off’ scene) she thought “It’s a nightmare!”

The wood-noises included frogs, which most of the cast thought sounded like ducks, and when my mother came to see the play she thought it was someone’s cellphone going off, sounding like a chicken, and got annoyed before she realized it was frogs.

The Cast Party/Anniversary/Director’s Birthday Party was wonderful. I have never seen so many people crammed onto such a tiny stage. And all the food. Once a lot of people had cleared off we could play the loud, happy-rave-music and funny songs and dance all over our lovely set. Several people got kinda drunk, and I danced until eleven-thirty in my sparkly shirt. I danced with the guy who played Theseus (who ridiculously attractive and insanely older than myself) a few times and that was wonderful (but I noticed he smelled really good so he might be gay *sigh*)

We began the play with a battle between Theseus and Hippolyta. Then we put a little hidden scene during the Fairy Pavane (which was fun to dance) where Theseus and Hippolyta come to an understanding and respect each other (you had to see it, it looked really good, though) which explains how they go from Hippolyta punching Theseus in the first scene to them jumping up and down about the hounds in the later end of the play.

The Mechanicals stole the show. Seriously, I saw the-play-within-a-play about sixteen times and I was still laughing this afternoon!

I’m dreadfully behind on homework (I should be working on that Crusader story right now, instead of alerting you all to my ‘return’ but if I don’t do it now it won’t get done.)

I swear I’ll get to your comments and fics as soon as possible!

*admires it* Thank you!

I was in a play ... I thought I told everyone ... I posted a warning I think ...

Sounds like you have been a very busy girl XD
Oh yes indeedy! What with watching Firefly again, reading Doctor/Master whenever I could nab a computer, and typing Doctor/Master epics (which I shall finish and post soon) I've been INSANELY busy. *slump*

I covet your budget for the play. And your sparkly shirt. =D

I covet your budget for the play.
We have no money. I'm so pleased we had such lovely (and large) audiences. I love how we do it in two-and-a-half weeks, like in Shakespeare's day.

And your sparkly shirt. =D
Oh, I looked SO DAMN PRETTY! I seldom dress up ...

How did you manage the spiffy effects, if you had no money?

The 'spiffy effects' were a half-decent sound system hooked up to two laptops. We had two great (very young, underpaid) people working on the lights and music. It just LOOKED wicked awesome. Plus the costumes have been used over and over and over since the company began, so you see the same outfits every play (with a few minor exceptions.)

I'm glad to see you back! I love some Shakespeare too (and I actually seen some Shakespeare DOUJINSHI scans before =O). I posted new chapters of Redeemer and Untold Into the Dark Of (both are on fanfiction.net and my pen name is sbyamibakura) ALL of my fics are on there, including a couple Kensei/Hiro that I didn't post on sword_mates yet, I think. As well as LOST fic, Scrubs fic, FMA fic, Fruits Basket fic, Harry Potter fic, Supernatural fic, Death Note fic, etc.

I'm glad to see you back!
I'm glad to see people welcoming me back! (Yesterday I kept wondering aloud what I'd do for three months - until the Shakespeare summer programs - I hath my answer!)

Oh dear ... gimme linkies por favor! I actually have some time, and now that I have high-speed internets I think I'll be able to catch up on slash faster! Yahoo!
You know, I never really got into Fruits Basket. The girl who got me hooked on manga said I probably wouldn't like it (probably because I was diving into her Naruto at the time.) I haven't seen much Scrubs, but it's far too easy to slash those boys ... *giggles*

Shakespeare fanmanga that's what! Seriously, I think it was like Macbeth or Hamlet...one of those.

It's VERY easy to slash JD/Cox, so easy.

Okay, here's the link to my author page;

http://www.fanfiction.net/~sbyamibakura

You can find ALL of my works on there, and you can review them and let me know what you think.

Speaking of Naruto, I might write a SasuNaru soon. I <3 that pairing, then again I also like Naruto/Kakashi, Sasuke/Kakashi, Naruto/Iruka, Kakashi/Iruka, Sasuke/Itachi (though I know the cest isn't your thing), etc

Wow ... do those come in English?!

Oh god yes! Or JD and Turk ...

Thank you! (Oh god, I don't even want to think about all the slash I've got to catch up on ... like a month I think ... oh dear oh dear ...)

I'm so mixed up in Naruto. I've read up to ... where Gaara takes off with fan-girl and puppet-guy and Sasuke goes after them and Naruto tails them and then everything goes to hell in the stadium. Then I've seen the episodes where Naruto and Sasuke fight (something to do with his scary brother and those eyes ...) and yeah, I'm not touching that again for a while.

JD/Turk is really easy too, yeah considering how much they are always hugging, etc

You're welcome! (I try to keep up with the slash, and one of my fave authors ever finally updated on her Snarry story. YAY! XDDDDDD)

I haven't watched Naruto in like ever, though I've been watching Naruto: The Abridged Series by MasakoX and Vegeta (some number or another) SO DAMN FUNNY. Though the original abridged series, Yu-Gi-Oh!The Abridged series by LittleKuriboh is still the funniest. OMFG it is. (YouTube is <3 so I can watch all my fave things)

(I try to keep up with the slash
I'm trying not to think about how far behind I am on slash these days ... oh dear ... *hyperventalates* I've off to read a cute/angsty Doctor/Master series!

*waves*!!!

OH NO WAY.

I'm so totally depressed at the moment cos my parents wouldn't let me go to a meagre version of Macbeth AND Loves Labor Lost. I couldn't even go to one of them ><. And I'm broke. So I couldn't pay.

You seem to have had fun in it though! Wish I could've seen it :)

*waves*!!!
*waves back* 'ell friend!

*huggles you* At my theater starving actors get in for free. If they're actually broke, not just lazy.
Macbeth is one of my FAVORITES. Loves Labor Lost is kinda off-footing, funny, but off-footing because the sequel, Loves Labor Won, got lost.

You seem to have had fun in it though! Wish I could've seen it :)
I did! I'm glad I have stuff to do for the next three months! I wish you could have seen it too, it was a FANTASTIC show!

(Your icon looks familiar ... why?)
