Sorry, but there's something I need to get off my chest...

So today's Sunday. Normally Sundays are a rest day - you know, lazing around and doing nothing after wearing yourself out all week.







However, today we've got a rehersal for a play. :O



How dare they interrupt my Sunday?







We've occasionally done Sunday rehersals before for other plays, and though I complain, I don't (normally) really mind.







This play...







This one is, to be honest, not a very good one.



I normally enjoy all the stuff we do, but this play... ARGH!







It makes me want to rip my hair out!



I'm playing an Irish cook called, get this, Sam O'Nella.







Yeah, it's funny the first time. But the humour soon runs dry.







The story is pointless - something about some islanders trying to fight female pirates with a really cheesy tale of love intertwined in it.







Why???







It's basically an excuse to rip off every Gilbert and Sullivan song ever written.







Why???







I'm sorry this is turning into a rant, but it's something which is really annoying me.







In the past, we've done:







Bugsy Malone



Half a Sixpence



West Side Story



Wizard of Oz







And even the few G&S ones we have done have been pretty good fun.







Why, then, did they choose to do the only G&S play not written by the pair?



Instead, it's an 'homage' - and I bet Gilbert and Sullivan are turning in their graves.





*sigh* Nobody can be bothered with it.


There's no drive at all - I think the only thing keeping people going is the hope that we'll get a better play next time.





Never mind.

In unrelated news, in school tomorrow we've got our first lunchtime concert - basically, it's a chance to get one of our coursework performances done which can count towards our final GCSE grade.

I'm feeling pretty good about mine - I'm singing Stars from the beautiful musical Les Mis...



But somebody else has decided (purely out of spite, may I add) that he's going to sing the same.



However, I'm not going to panic, or worry - I'm going to insist that I sing it before him.

That'll show him ¬¬



He's being an all-round not-very-nice person at the moment.

Hopefully, if I manage to do better than him at this, he'll give over and go back being an all-round strange but not-really-that-bad person.

Either that, or he'll get worse.

What can ya do?







Well, that's all for today.



Cheers for listening to my rant :)



NB



I got a question for ya, another question for ya,

Where do ya see yourself in five minutes' time?
