The day of Doom

Hello.
So yesterday was the day of doom. The day my script was read to the class. I got to go first... didn't that just make me feel so special. So my teacher asked if I would like to read the stage directions, and I jumped at that. First of all I hate having people read my stuff, but worse is hearing someone read it. So I jumped at being able to read the majority of it, and I played the main character. Um so no one got to butcher my Avs names! THANK YOU! I wouldn't have been able to handle someone mispronouncing Hejduk or Svatos, well okay, the big one, Patrick Roy. I get a little annoyed when his name is pronounced wrong, but that's probably because Jay does it just to bug me. My script though is mostly about my love of the Avalanche and my main character gets to play with them. She is having a little trouble playing hockey, you know missing pucks, pucks not hitting the net, and she has a dream where she gets to play with the Avs and she gets a little advice and she's good.

First of all THEY LOVED IT! I was so happy, I was sweating when I was reading it. I thought I was playing hockey right there. They loved how I described everything, I put a lot of detail into it, and one girl said that she knows nothing about hockey, but she could follow the action.

The only thing they couldn't get was they thought it was too easy. One dream and my character is good? Well they don't understand hockey players. All we need is a quote from Miracle or Herb Brooks, a pat on the back and a cool nickname and we are good to go. I have a quote from Miracle and a pat on the back... forgot the nickname thing... um maybe someone should call the main character an Animal! But Monica read it and she understood it, so I'm not changing it. It makes sense. They did give suggestions on how they thought it could be improved a little bit, but most of them just got me angry. It's my script, my vision and no I don't need Peter Forsberg coming to my main character as a ghost and saying, "You stink." My teacher suggested that. I was like WHAT? Peter would never do that! But I did change the beginning, I'll put in a quote or two to explain how a hockey player's mind works and then that's one paper down 4 more to go.

You have no idea how excited I was though, they really liked it. I got applause first and then comments! That's good... really good. My teacher was surprised I had the whole thing, but please I would never have been able to read it without it being completed... hahaha yeah right. I would have had to toss it in the trash after reading it.

So that was yesterday- today was good. I had class, and my Renaissance Drama teacher is talking about Lost next week. We are reading The Tempest and Lost has a lot to do with the Tempest. It's a 'deserted' island where you have a chance to be something else, and stuff. I wanted to raise my hand and quote Sayid, "Everyone on this island has a chance at a new life... maybe it's time for you to start yours" AHH! Love Sayid, he says that to Shannon when she is either grieving over Boone or confused about her so called love for him. I love how my teacher is a Lost fan, though I'm sure he's ahead of me now when it comes to Lost cause it started on Sky last week, and I'm still trying to get through Season 2 with Amaya and Kathleen! Oh well.

Alright, well I'm off. Bed sometime in the near future... maybe, hopefully.
