No, we’re not taking Muse on the road like the Wiggles. But some of the Administrators have acted in plays from time to time, including a few when we were Muser-age. Pictures below.
Here’s Robert, age 10, as Julius Caesar telling his wife Calpurnia (right) to stop whining about her silly nightmares:
Here’s Rebecca in a high-school production of Cabaret (which Robert saw!). Rebecca is the girl at far right:
“Muser-age”? Ha ha! *scoff* Don’t tell me you’re not still Muser-age?
Love the pics!
Let me guess . . . The nightmares weren’t so silly after all.
Those are good pictures, any road.
Hehe. Coolness.
Awesome! Did you know each other in high school, or did Robert just see the show?
I’m sure you were a great Julius Caesar, Robert, and Rebecca, I’m sure you were a great…um…whatever you were!
At ten you played Julius Ceaser? Impressive acting abilities, Robert.
And fabulous costume, Rebecca! Cabaret must be a fun show to do…
(5) Yes, I learned iambic pentameter “on the job,” as it were.
(4) We were aware of each other and and knew a lot of the same people but didn’t actually know each other, if you understand how that works. Rebecca was kind of
weirdshy.haha, nice catch there, mr. Lotr songs
those were really funny though.
yay for plays and things!
pic no. 2 is teh cheesy hotness
frigid!!!!!!!
(6) Still weird, less shy.
(4) I probably thought he was too intimidating.
(5) Parts of the costume remain in my possession to this day — and still fit, thank you very much.
(8) We thought so, too.
HEY!!! NOW WE KNOW WHAT REBECCA LOOKS LIKE!!! THE LAST GAPA TO REFRAIN FROM POSTING A PICTURE ON THE BLOG HAS FALLEN TO HER KNEES!!!! VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow that was weird. Sorry.
11- Well, we know what a blurry, high school version of Rebecca looks like.
12 – But now we know she has four limbs! Before, nobody could know.
8 – Does the
smiley mean lust/sexual arousal/related?
11- Where are there pics of Paul Baker, then? And we don’t really know what Rebecca looks like . . . After all, if your computer is anything remotely like mine, it does not enlarge, un-blur, and age by however many years a picture.
15 – Oh I forgot about PB&J. There’s a photo of him in the Jan issue of Muse.
On a more serious note: my dance partner in Cabaret, Greg Johnson, was also in my drama class and figured in one of the most indelible, if unsettling, of my high school memories.
We were doing an improv in which a white girl brings home her black boyfriend to meet her very bigoted parents. (Alexandria public schools had been desegregated only a couple of years before, so racial themes surfaced frequently.) I played the mother; Greg, the boyfriend.
He entered the scene with his hand extended in greeting and introduced himself with a jovial “pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Whatevermycharacter’snamewas.” I stiffened my posture to full height, stared at his hand without saying a word, and deliberately crossed my arms.
I don’t even remember the rest of the scene, only that when it ended, there was a moment of dead silence. I felt sick. How had that ugly person come from inside me?
In the tumult of emotion, I overcame my usual reticence and rushed over to my friend, crushing him with a big hug, and practically shouted, “I still love you, Greg!”
We all started talking after that. One of my other classmates said, “I really hated you!”
17 – is confuzzled
17- Eek. Well, at least you were a good actor.
Has anyone seen the movie Remember the Titans? That was our high school. The events shown (with some dramatic license) in the movie happened during my sophomore year. “Cabaret” was two years later.
17- Wow, that sounds really tough. But at least at the end he knew it wasn’t for real.
Was Rosanne ever in Drama? If so, then all the GAPAs would be.
17-Aaawwww!!!!!!! That’s so sad!!!
Wow…I don’t know if I could do that…I mean, I guess I could if I had to, but…eesh…
Robert-That’s so cool that you saw that play! So did you guys know each other back then, or was it total coincidence?
Rebecca-That’s a little bit of a risque pose in that pic, don’t you think? *raises eyebrows* J/k!
(22),
See comments 6 and 10.
I knew several people in the show and almost auditioned for it myself. But I wasn’t 100% sure I felt like it, and I decided against it after another boy asked me not to. That was a strange thing to do, but he really wanted the role of Herr Schultz and was afraid he might not get it if he had competition. (He was more serious about acting than I was, and wound up writing screenplays in Hollywood.)
Hee, hee, that’s so neat! Acting has always looked fun to me, but I’ve never done it. Unless you count reading Shakespere in the back seat of the car with my best friend. (Taming of the Shrew, I was Kate, she was Bianca.)
Robert and Rebbeca, did you guys no like each other, or were you just in different circles?
23-Whoa!!! That’s really cool!
17: Aww! That almost made me cry! I think, though, that even though you knew how to act disgusted at your friend, it was because you’d probably had experience at being disgusted with something (haven’t we all), not because you had experience at being racist.
15 (Alice) – click on Paul Baker’s name (when he’s signed in as a GAPA), and it takes you to his website, which has dozens of pictures of him. If you can’t do that, just message me on SF or something and I’ll tell you.
23 – Did you go to the same high school?
27- Okay, thanks.
(23) Trivia: he wore one of my dad’s old neckties in the show. Authentic period detail. Oh, man, I had such a crush on him, too. Then again, I had a crush on half the cast and crew before it was over. I think I was really just in love with the whole production.
(19, 21, 22, 26) Actually, I’m grateful for what happened. Playing a spiteful person didn’t make me one, as Dotty-kay pointed out. If anything, it made me more determined not to be — but also gave me a deeper understanding of what it must do to someone’s insides to behave like that. All these years later I draw on that experience in my day job, which (not coincidentally) deals directly with issues of race.
(24) Robert and I were in somewhat overlapping circles — looking back, it’s almost comical how we kept not quite knowing each other back then. We had some of the same teachers at different times, were both in drama but in different plays (though our younger brothers were in a play together), and so on and so on. We do both appear in one group photo in the yearbook (several rows apart).
I guess the Kokonspiracy just wasn’t quite ready for us to start pooling resources.
(28) There’s a Paul Baker link on May Mêlée, Part 3, comment 184.
HAHA! Funny pictures!!!
In first grade I was in a play about the Greek gods. There weren’t enough people, so a few of us played two parts. I was Ares and Dionysus. It was fun!!!
29-Well, which one is he?
(31) I think she’s talking about her dance partner, the one on whose knee she is sitting in the photo. Far right.
Remember The Titans is brilliant. Denzel Washington was awesome, and the “Na na na, hey hey, goodbye” scenes were wonderful.
(31, 32) No, in comment 29, I was referring to your comment about Herr Schultz, who wore my dad’s necktie in the shoe. He’s not in this photo, Shadowkat. This shows only a small portion of the cast.
In the “show,” I meant, not in the “shoe.”
Haha! That was funny!
Wearing neckties in the shoe was hott back then. The thing to do, y’know?
(37) Yeah, and considering those super-high platform shoes — voilà ! body casts as fashion statement.
I actually did own one pair of platform shoes. Found on a discount rack — even then, I thought they were utterly hideous: red, white, and blue, with blue cork soles. But I wanted to experiment and size 11quadA was a rare find in anything other than black standard schoolmarm issue. They brought my height to 6’2″.
First time I wore them, I slammed face forward to the floor of the chorus room. Probably the last time I wore them.
I had a sort of platform-shoey-type pair of shoes. They had about 4 inches of height at most, and they were blue denim. Very cute, rather impractical, and a bit too small.
Does Robert remember the names of the other kids in the picture?
Anybody else been in a play (see ost 30)?
POST.
Actually, I was talking about Paul Baker…I went to the site, and looked at the pictures, but I don’t know which one he is…sorry for the misunderstanding.
38-LOL!!!!! That reminds me of this one time when one of my guy friends walked from the dressing room to the other side of the green room and back in 6-inch heels…not kidding! It was hilarious!!!
40-Yes, I’ve been in lots of plays, since I was 9 (I’m now 16.)…oh, yes, I love the stage! I actually just auditioned for a summer musical called Romeo and Harriet…Romeo and Juliet, with a happy ending, and set in modern-day New York City…I’ll be getting the call no later than Thursday night…AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I can’t wait that looooong!!!
(42) Shadowkat, sorry, we was confuzzled.
You can find Paul here: diabolus.org/gallery/gallery.htm
Try the middle row, 2nd from the left, entitled “Greenwich Exhibition 2.”
After that, you can spot him in the other photos.
Caberet????? REBECCA LASELY PERFORMED IN CAREBET!!! *screams* I saw the Bob Fosse version of Carabet and Pippen and Sweet Charity. Gah. Rauchy. *gag*
41 – One peice of virtual chokolit please.
45.more than one! more like twenty
40- I was in Theseus at age seven. I had one line. I was in a play titled “If Only I Had a Green Nose” when I was ten. (An annoying play, but lots of fun to do).
45- Uh-uh. He was correcting a typo, that’s all.
Yes. I was. And as a member-actually the starter of a whole section- of the popopo, I would not popo. you should know that, Glassboro (at least I think that was you but maybe not).
I’ve been in a lot of plays…
Pagent of Marvels: Age young, “Rabalin”
Through the Years: Age six, “Young Joshua”
Three Little Piggs: Age six, Narrater
Music something or other: Age nine, Beethoven
Annie: Age eleven/twelve, Orphan
Who Dun It: Age ten, Sam (friend)
Don’t Cha not: Age twelve, Old Lady
Freak of Nature (croinkie maite): Age twelve, Freak of Nature
Oh, I adore the pictures. I have not been in many plays, although they are certainly fun. I think we should take Muse on the road like the Wiggles…
(That, for clarification, was a joke)
17-But he knew you were just acting, didn’t he?
27- Yes but which person is him
(51) Cappy, see comment #43.
51. if you were too lazy why waste time writing the whole i’m to lazt thing, that is even longer than ur name!
53- That may be the point.
38- Ooh. At last you don’t have the ‘falling down flat on your face when there’s nothing and no one around you when you’re not even wearing shoes’ syndrome. I have a rather advanced case.
I didn’t get involved in Drama till middle school. I was in the winter short skit thing in 7th grade (We had to do ‘A Christmas Carrol,’ I was the ghost of Christmas present. Uhg.), and in 8th grade for the winter skits we wrote our own version of Puss and Boots. I was the narrator, and did rather well. Ours was the best out of the other three, as of the magority opinion. Another one I helped with, Snowygoldycinderpunzal (yup, we got most of it from Muse) did well too.
I also worked tech in 8th grade for the spring play, I got to paint the details on the set as well as helping to build it. Then on opening night curtain boy wasn’t there and I had to do curtain after only practicing it once. 8o I would not wish that fate on anyone.
Oh, and I get to do pit orchestra for next years musical cause it doesn’t overlap with tennis (construction, urg).
Funfunfun!
Tee hee….. nice.
(55),
We did “A Christmas Carol” when I was in eighth grade. I was Scrooge. Great fun — such a juicy role. It was a huge part to memorize, though, and there was no down time. Scrooge is always on stage. I don’t have any pictures of that show, I’m afraid.
Hmm… well, my first foray into acting was playing the shamash in the preschool hannuka play. After that, I played Maria in our fith grade production of Shakespeare’s Love’s Labours Lost, and since I have made a cameo in the middle school’s annual play as an Oompa Loompa. Not very immpressive, on the whole.
57- Nice. Too bad about the pictures though.
My school had class plays every year, so I was in those from Kindergarten to Fifth grade, but then in middle school we started to put on much more professional productions. In 6th grade I was the Gryphon in “Alice in Wonderland,” which was a small role, but fun anyway. In seventh grade we had this absolutely terrible musical called “Rock & Roll,” and I was the Delivery Girl and a Gemtone. I had three songs, but it was still a pretty small role. But then in 8th grade I was Peter Pan in “Peter Pan,” and it was a huge job. I was in almost every scene and I had 12 songs! (All but 1 were solo), and that was amazingly fun. I’ve been in some plays outside of school, usually as an extra, and I’m going to be an extra in “Carousel” this summer, in a Music festival in northern MI.
59- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate Carousel! No no no!!!!!!!! My sister has a CD and plays it almost constantly. When she’s not playing it, she’s singing it.
I dislike musicals as a rule. All the songs that aren’t so catchy they’ll stick in your head for months (Oh I’ll be slipped/into the beautiful family crypt) are so sappy you want nothing so much as more horribly catchy songs.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Sorry for the rant. And no offense meant, Purple Panda. I dislike Missoula Children’s Theater plays too, and I’m sure they’re extremely fun to do.
Note- Don’t go to MCT’s production of the Jungle Book. You’ll be horribly confused and dreadfully bored.
I have been in a few plays (not all you’d recognize, by the way)
1.This Penguin thing (I dun remember the title) (Age 5) I was the mother penguin
2. The First Flute (5-7-ish) I was a horse.
3. Ananzi (8 I think) I was Ananzi the spider! I was so proud! (Plus, Ananzi rules.)
4. The little Star (8-ish) I was…Oh yeah! I was Taylor (Main character yay!)
5. Birds (9-10ish) I was the Owl (YEAH BAYBEE!!)
6. The music Man (Chorus Member, bleah. I Have stories on this if you would like to hear them!)
7. Capitan Shmoo (10-11-ish) (I was… I think I was some royal lady-in-waiting or something. The girl who played the princess was a real brat. WORST-PLAY-EVER.)
8. High School Musical. (I know, isn’t this absolutely mindbogglingly positively terrible? Luckily I was only in the stage crew. I was the “line feeder.” I wasn’t needed though. Well I WAS VERY MUCH NEEDED but they didn’t notice me, so they didn’t get their lines! Haw haw, suckers!)
Oh yeah!!!!! And one puppet show!!!!!!! For all three stories “The three little pigs, Billy goats Gruff and Goldilocks and the three bears!!!”
I was a Narrator puppet. I absolutely stole the show. No kidding! I was doing little things with my puppet to call attention to myself. I got in trooouuuuuuble… (I was… eight-ish.)
Wow.
Just–wow.
Robert, you make a very good JC. And Rebecca is sitting up so straight…
60/61 – I’ve actually never seen it…I don’t even know what it’s about. But I love musicals as a whole. Some are really bad, but my favorite musicals are “The Sound of Music” and “The Secret Garden.” But I can certainly understand where you’re coming from.
(62) Cappy, I was in a production of Music Man, too, as one of the “Pick-a-little, talk-a-little” ladies, which was great fun, especially being a Grecian urn. Plus I got to design my own hat. What happened with the show you were in?
65- I used to like musicals okay, but The Slipper and the Rose really ruined my enjoyment of them. I still like Mary Poppins, and I did like Oliver last time I saw it.
I was in Free to be You and Me first (3rd grade) and there weren’t really any characters. We were all random people with our own names (JCC play)
Then I was in Stuart Little (fourth) and I was Hank the garbage man (JCC play)
Then Aladdin (seventh) and I was a dancer (there were about fifty people in the cast.) JCC
Then Sahara Nights (this random play based upon Arabian Nights and Scherezade (eighth grade) It was quite a lot of fun to run around backstage with my friends and stuff (we were quite awesomely random) Oh, I was the Puppeteer. Junior high school
then Once Upon A Mattress (ninth grade) I was Princess # 12 (JCC)
then Antigone (ninth) I was Creon’s page, highschool’s show
then Cyrano (tenth) I was a nun highschool’s show
Fiddler on the Roof, tenth, Shaindel, JCC
Ducks and Lovers, tenth, Zorka the crazy violin playing gypsy, highschool
An Evening of Once Acts 7, eleventh, Thelma, highschool
Little Shop of Horrors, Shop assitant person, eleventh, JCC
Welcome to the Monkey House, STAGE CREW!!, eleventh, highschool
sheesh, that looks like a lot but it’s really just that I auditioned every year and got small parts. And the JCC includes anyone who auditions in the plays. I was on stage crew for most of the Highschool shows, too.
38~ I used to have a pair of platform shoes. My Mom was sure I’d fall over and kill myself. Actually though, I never did fall, sprain my ankle or otherwise harm myself while wearing them. Pretty amazing, considering that I’m a total klutz and usually fall over and/or make an a- idiot of myself
I haven’t been in any major plays, however my friend was recently part of our local theatres production of The Jungle book. She was a wolf club. Sadly though, I didn’t get to see it but it was supposed to be very good. Its been nearly a month since it ended but she still talks about her castmates everyday. They were quite an……ummm….well….intersting assortment of people. They were very nice though.
OMIGOSH!!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST GOT A CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF Romeo and Harriet, AND I’M HARRIET!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
71- Congratulations! Thats awesome!
71- Congrats! That’s really great!
Congratulations, Shadowkat!
Rebecca, I just noticed that “Cabaret” is spelled out above you in paper. Interesting set.
71- Cool! Good for you!
74- Yeah, my mom did costumes for the play once (I may have already said), and I got to see backstage (I can’t remember the circumstances) and they had a Cabaret sign.
(74) e~a, the letters were made of wood, painted black and studded with red lights that turned on whenever the scene was set in the cabaret itself.
After the run ended, someone else had already taken the “r,” so I took possession of the “b.” I hauled that thing around for years.
77- cool! I may do something similar to taking letters if the opportunity presents itself!
Oh, yeah…there’s one little thing about Romeo and Harriet that I forgot to mention (and this makes it pretty much the best play ever)…: for the fight scenes, instead of stabbing each other with swords, THEY THROW PIES IN EACH OTHER’S FACES!!! Is that not totally awesome?! Oh, I’m so glad I’m a part of this…and, thanks, guys…I’m pretty happy, too!
79- Kokopelli will be proud. Do you know who’s playing Romeo yet?
71- All right!! Congratulations, S-kitty, that’s great!
After the pays were over at the middle school, the cats would write their name on the brick walls. Me + my friends found enough space y standing on a chair and usng thick perminant marker.
I want to go back and look at them now… I miss it…
We’re getting a new auditorium at our school for next year. XD It’s going to be so cool, we’ve been reduced to using the stage in the ‘cafetorium’ since the school was built. Yay!
THAT’S SO COOL s-kitty!
may the force be with you.
I was in our AMAZUHZING 5th grade musical, “We Hazz Jazz”
I was Louis Armstrong, aka. Satchmo. I rocked the house!
I was crew the last two years at our school, in HONK! and “Faces of Freedom. Next year, I won’t forget to try out. We do shows in circus camp at the Actors Gym. Will update y’all on that, and if I get a part, l8r, but if any of you in the suburbial chicago area est doing it, plz tell me!
(1st session obtw.)
Just so you know I’m not entirely devoid of mainstream theatrical leanings, I appeared in two productions of Toad of Toad Hall at different times during my schooldays.
The first time, at primary school, I was Badger, although I look MUCH more like a badger now. The only things I remember about that performance were the opening, where I was submerged under a leafy blanket representing a tussock in the riverbank, and Toad was sitting on me. Oh, and the making of lots of huge papier-mache toadstools which wouldn’t dry in time, and gave everyone wet bums at the first performance. Flour and water in that day, floks. None of your modern PVA.
The second time, I was the Judge in the courtroom scene, and it was all slightly controversial. There were three girls in charge of make-up, and they succeeded in turning me into the spitting image of our school’s headmaster. I did his voice and mannerisms pretty well, too. I do hope he got the joke, because I milked it shamelessly. I’m sure I heard some of his cronies tutting at the first performance, but it might have been their false teeth. The other thing I remember was the Usher, who sat on a small chairbelow my High Throne. He wore a mortarboard hat, secretly reinforced with a substantial chunk of wood, which I used as a target for my gavel whenever proceedings got unruly. It was a great gaga, but Health and Safety would never allow it nowadays. I do hope the fellow didn’t suffer permanent brain damage.
Alas, there are no known photographs of either of these productions. It was all a very long time ago. I’m not sure the camera had been invented.
PB&J.
Thanks, guys! I’m really excited…oh, man!!!
80-No, and it’s really bothering me! I’ve talked to almost everyone I can, and no one knows who it is! But we have rehearsal on Monday, so I’m going to find out there, but still…
I was once forced to interpret Captain Von Trapp in that abomination of art, The Sound Of Music. Why can’t I be Attila???
(85) FS, thanks for my best laugh of the day, imagining Attila as Christopher Plummer. Oh, there’s a name for you: Attelias.
I never saw the Sound Of Music, thank Odin, but the three hour Attila The Hun is amazing, Gerard Butler does a fabulous Attila.
♥ the pictures. ^_^
85-Haha! Yeah, that was just the role for you, huh? Lol…it really wouldn’t worked out between you and me, darling…I think The Sound of Music is a good movie, along with many other Rodgers and Hammerstein productions.
89: Although I did have a good time telling the Gestapo dude to get the hell out.
66- I was a chorus member, so us, the chorus members being of little importance, got locked in a room. Not just any room, an extremely small (say, 8x8ft) room full of boxes of props and people. It was small, yeah. But was that all? No! It was NOT! They could make it MUCH WORSE! (By the way, having all these chorus members locked up in a single room like that? Pretty sweaty.) Well anyways, The room was locked, small and PITCH BLACK. No light. We weren’t allowed ANY LIGHT. Now, this room, it wasn’t soundproof. So we had to be COMPLETELY SILENT. No talking. Whatsoever. If we had to pee? Too bad, had to be held in.
It would have been a lot better if the main characters at least had to share the room. But no! Of COURSE NOT! They got a large, air conditioned, well-lit, soundproof room. And there where like, five of them. I’m not even kidding.
Probably the worst I’ve been treated in a long time. O.O
90-Oh, yeah, Christopher Plummer was a little scary, there…*innocent smile*…did you do it as well as he did?
Ok, I don’t think this technically counts as a “2post”, since there’ve been 4 days in between them…
GAPA’s, I just want to say, though, that I think it would be awesome if you took Muse on the road! I’d come! You should totally at least consider it…:mrgreen:
A Muse concert? It’s hard to imagine. Maybe if we teamed up with the Myth Busters and They Might Be Giants…
94- Funfun! I’d come to that! Even though I’ve never heard They Might Be Giants . . .
94- *scoffs at Robert’s apparently limited imagination*
That would be very interesting. What would they do? I suppose MythBusters could test all the Bo Knows facts. There would be pies though. Lots of pies.
Interesting pictures! Your Julius Caesar seems more professional than my English class’s performace….ours had Brutus run out and stab Caesar with a lightsaber. It was hard to take the play seriously after that.
97- *collapses in laughter* With a lightsaber???? That’s a bit out of time (and place), isn’t it?
You know, I like the name Calpurnia.
94-Well, I never said a concert…more of a performance, really, I was thinking. But the Mythbusters are pretty cool. I’ve only ever heard of They Might Be Giants…what are they, exactly?
97-LOL!!! That’s hilarious! Oh, man, absolute amazing-ness, that…haha…:mrgreen:
Wow, this thread is still open?!
It’s a lot funnier now that I know what the GAPAs look like now, and then.
Wow. The subject of heels is long gone, but…
I was at a party at my friends house, and the girls (majority of the party) were all wearing heels, so I decided to mooch a pair from the friend who’s house we were partying at. I pulled up my jeans with hair ties at about my ankles, and kept my wacky socks on. I turned the music off (thank you God for remotes) and everybody looked toward the speakers by the hallway. I took my chance at everyone’s attention and walked, hips swaying, down the hallway. Dead silence. I stood at the end of the hallway and turned in a slow circle, and struck another pose.
They busted up, and made me wear the heels fro the rest of the party. They were horrid, but it was kinda fun to stumble around. At least my jeans were back down.
But my feet hurt [a lot] after that. And I got bunions. :blush: Well, it was a long party.
101~ *dies laughing* Great, just great.
I have never been one for heels unless they were on riding boots or colonial shoes. Although I once had a pair of platform shoes. My mom was always saying I’d break a limb or two wearing them, but I never fell down once. I loved those shoes.
I have to admit, it was fun. Even though I almost broke both ankels.
[ranting story time]
Oh, we did something like what Ebeth was describing at the mall once. I was tap dancing in squeeky shoes and my friend (the one who’s heels I mooched) was doing acrobatics in her “door wedge” heels. She never landed anything, but watching her flips was impressive anyway. I mean, seriously, can you land a double side front tuck in door wedges? I think not. I tried a front tuck and landed on my back.
We got kicked out (unsimilar to Ebeth’s story) and slouched over to Hot Topic in front of a crowd of people following us hoping for more show.
I actually was twirling a stick around a week or two ago and decided to do a few bo-staff moves with it because I was bored at the same friend’s house (well, she’s my best friend). She decided to do summore acrobatics (without the door wedges, in regular feet) while I was doing bo-staff and some lady came over with a whole bunch of dogs and was like “Oh my gosh! I sall y’all at the mall last munf! Can y’all do sumfunk?” So we showed off for her.
And later I grabbed the door wedges and did a horrid impression of break dancing on top of her green metal generator. Nedless to say, I almost broke my ankels again, not to mention my neck.
my sister’s school performed cabaret at one point…it looked very different, but who cares?
Is there any particular reason why we’re reviving all of these long-dead thread?
Hey, this thread is still open!! Wow. When was it made? *checks* May 27th, 2007. A day before my 11th birthday.
Wow, this IS ancient.
The thread or the pictures?
If it’s the thread, *feels very ancient*. I distinctly remember when this thread was posted.
The picture of Robert doesn’t show up in IE8. *opens this in firefox*
Or firefox.
Cool picture, Rebecca!
110 – Yes, but I can’t see the picture of Robert…
I’ll find and repost it when I get a chance.
The picture of 10-year-old me as Julius Caesar has been found and is back online. Feast your eyes.
A noble and strong ruler you appear.
“Shall Caesar send a lie?
Have I in conquest stretch’d mine arm so far,
To be afraid to tell graybeards the truth?
Decius, go tell them Caesar will not come.”
Nice, Robert. Nice.
What’s the toga made out of? (my warped brain is trying to label it as a trash bag… gah. Should I be concerned about this?)
Purple satin. My mother sewed it and the tunic. It had a seam down the left arm to keep it draped properly. A lovely piece of work. It really made me feel like Caesar.
