I've been hogging up on memes lately have I?
Okay so here it goes...
[x] 1. You’ve said countless times, "I can’t. I have rehearsal." There are various versions of this. Oh I won't be there...Can we postpone? Can you please come online earlier? Yeah, something like these
[x] 2. Anyone who says Macbeth has a death wish. I've heard of the Macbeth thing whilst watching a supernatural/scary show documentary show when I was a kid. I don't think I ever saw the segment. But, I'm well informed now.
[x] 3. You realize theater is your social life and you don’t have any friends outside of theater. Lately? Y E S.
[x] 4. If you're an actor, tech people become your heroes. I would bow repeatedly and leave their presence walking backwards, always facing them until the door closes. Something like that.
[x] 5. You think the Reduced Shakespeare Company is hilarious and understand the jokes while other people watching it are confused. YOUTUBE IT!
[x] 6. You want to shoot people who think putting on a production is easy. Oh yes. Surprisingly, supposedly close friends and a number of family members ought to be in an apocalyptic firing squad of doom.
[x] 7. Stress is a way of life. But you know, it's the kind of stress that I can live with; a sure sign that it's...meant to be.
[x] 8. Cast parties rank right up there with birthday parties. Cast tambayan?
[x] 9. You never realized how much fun you had at rehearsals until you don’t have any more. What that is like is like being in a void or purposelessness.
[ ] 10. You’ve been quoted on the Quote Wall. [x] 11. You can’t seem to memorize your lines, but you know everyone else’s lines verbatim. Why oh why??? [x] 12. You have the urge to be in character in public. As Titania? Lead music ho?
[x] 13. Once the production is over you don't know what to do with your time. Uh. Go back to being a night owl.
[ ] 14. You complain about how ugly your costume is. Would I dare complain at Niki?
[x] 15. You absolutely love your costume and want to steal it from the costume room after the play is over. Asaka's greens are still with me but are not being asked to be returned by the owner. Does that mean that I have stolen my property?
[xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] 16. You think your director is the coolest guy ever. Well. The x's say a lot. [x] 17. You think your director is an idiot. Oh there was a time...but not the director in item #16 with the 2984528492439 x's to prove his coollity.
[ ] 18. You love going to see other productions just to compare them to yours.
[ ] 19. You argue with your director about which play to do next.
[x] 20. You go see other productions and cringe when you see people that can’t act. My eyes pop out.
[ ] 21. Homework? Never heard of it. [x] 22. You could easily set up a cot and live in the theater. You’re there all the time anyway. I really COULD. I've done it before.
[x] 23. You dread the thought of having rehearsal, but the second you get there you don’t want to leave.
[x] 24. You meet someone from another theater and instantly become best friends. I'm not if this has happened, but something like that has.
[x] 25. You beg all of your friends to come see you in the play when you are only onstage for two minutes. I urge.
[ ] 26. You have lost count on how many times you've died.
[x] 27. You don't think twice about seeing guys in make-up or tights.
[x] 28. You're in public and look like you're talking to yourself because you are reciting your monologue. Or just making faces as I run my monologue in my head.
[ ] 29. You are a techie and want to strangle the actors because you have their lines memorized better than they do.
[x] 30. You think Shakespeare was a genius but dread putting on one of his plays. Shakespeare is a show off. But that's the erudite lit major in me talking. I wanted to be in a Shakespeare play. So I'm happy.
[x] 31. You know what Hell Week is. Hell Week is the suff that life can't ever be without.
[x] 32. If you put on a musical, you randomly sing all the songs at any time of day even if it is a musical you hate. Or...it's a collective LSS!
[x] 33. Sleep? What is sleep? Sleep? Why?
[ ] 34. Techies and actors don't understand each other, but they pretend that they do.
[x] 35. You swear like a sailor.
[ ] 36. You've been dubbed a "Stage Nazi" or a "Tech God."
[x] 37. There's more drama backstage than there is onstage. Ha. Ha. Ha.
[ ] 38. Actors and techies argue about who has more work.
[x] 39. You're on your deathbed and miss school, but you somehow manage to go to rehearsal.
[x] 40. You quote lines from previous plays you've done when you have casual conversations with friends. Being all systematic and comprehensive during rehearsal and then what, a moment being random? Our friends will have to live with it. God's my life.
[ ] 41. You suddenly realize that your entire wardrobe is black.
[ ] 42. Theater sex. Enough said.
[x] 43. You know what spiking is, and it's not what you do to hair.
[x] 44. You've been working with the same people so long that you have blackmail to last a lifetime. Well. There are a few. They're all just funny stories, but yeah, enough to blackmail.
[x]45. You've been injured so many times it's a miracle you're still alive. Stupid and senseless cuts.
[x] 46. Applause after a show is the best sound ever.
[x]47. You have a sigh of relief when you are doing a comedy and you hear the audience laughing.
[ ] 48. You can't remember what a home cooked meal tastes like, but you can remember every single way Taco Bell makes a taco or burrito.
[ ] 49. You know you're a theater guy when you can put on makeup better than half the girls in your school.
[x] 50. Modesty is long forgotten. Modesty sounds archaic to the point of taboo.
[x] 51. You pride yourself in how fast you can strip your clothes off and change costumes. (Or help people strip!) It sometimes (SOMETIMES) applies to real life
[x] 52. People who aren't in theater just aren't cool. Let's not be too mean...maybe not as cool as me.
