Manic and Frantic

I'm a slave to my passions. Theatre is my husband and wife. Martial arts is my house, my family, and my child. Art is my lover, my release, and my freedom. Music is my voice and my window in a dark corner.

Things people in theatre do:

Talk about their past shows like they were the greatest.

Hate at least one critically acclaimed actor/actress.

Refuse to watch the movie because, “the live musical was better.”

Drink coffee like it’s their job.

Judge the lighting at every event ever.

Wear black regularly.

Cringe at the rare instance they see sunlight.

Essentially live in a cave.

Be Batman.

Not sure where this is from, but it was floating around Facebook and I decided it is interesting. And apparently “hench”, a word I have never heard or used, means strong or muscular….weird. Enjoy

Are you fucking kidding me? Like, no, Shakespeare wouldn’t tweet a sonnet cause 140 characters is a bit short for that. Wrong medium. But you know what he would have? A very active twitter FULL OF DICK PUNS AND YOUR MOM JOKES okay. (And probably also a blog for the sonnets and longer works, that cross-posts links to twitter anyway.)

Get out of here with that pretentious anti-technology bullshit.

Exit, pursued by a doge. much run wow 

[doodlesanddiscord-deactivated20]

I don’t understand people who try to make Shakespeare into a pretentious thing cause he was basically an uneducated dick-joke making dude for the common masses. His historical plays are straight up fanfiction. There’s a scene in Macbeth where two guards are having a conversation as a dude pees on a wall. Get out of here with your Shakespeare snobbery.

1. I would give truly astounding amounts of money for a story about Shakespeare in the modern age as like, the head writer for a popular TV show (as that’s pretty much the closest equivalent to what he was) who’s constantly getting in trouble over his raunchy social media accounts.

2. “Exit, pursued by a doge” is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been laughing for like the last ten minutes.

#sometimes I think about how Shakespeare would react to seeing how his work is considered now #and once he got over the initial shock #how he would probably wet himself laughing over how seriously people take his plays #’oh god they teach these in SCHOOLS? to CHILDREN??’ #’*wheezing laughter*’ (via hungrylikethewolfie)

An eighth grade student from Weaverville Elementary School got a detention slip for sharing his school prepared lunch Tuesday.

Kyle Bradford, 13, shared his chicken burrito with a friend who didn’t like the cheese sandwich he was given by the cafeteria.

Bradford didn’t see any problem with sharing his food.

"It seemed like he couldn’t get a normal lunch so I just wanted to give mine to him because I wasn’t really that hungry and it was just going to go in the garbage if I didn’t eat it," said Bradford.

But the Trinity Alps Unified School District has regulations that prohibit students from sharing their meals.

The policies set by the district say that students can have allergies that another student may not be aware of.

Tom Barnett, the Superintendent of the Trinity Alps Unified School District says that hygiene issues also come into play when banning students from sharing meals.

"We have a policy that prohibits students from exchanging meals. Of course if students are concerned about other students not having enough to eat we would definitely want to consider that, but because of safety and liability we cannot allow students to actually exchange meals," said Barnett.

Bradford’s mother Sandy Bradford thinks that her son did the right thing by sharing his lunch. She also believes that it isn’t up to the school to discipline her son for good manners.

“By all means the school can teach them math and the arithmetic and physical education, but when it comes to morals and manners and compassion, I believe it needs to start at home with the parent,” Sandy said.

Bradford says that he would definitely share his lunch again if a friend wanted a portion of his meal.

Kids can’t share now? Or trade lunches? What the actual fuck is happening?

[alexandra-erin]

I think this article is talking around what the actual issue is. The student who was “given a cheese sandwich” and “couldn’t get a normal lunch?” That’s how schools handle students whose families can’t pay their lunch bills. They’re required to give the kid something, so they get a slice of processed cheese between two pieces of white bread. Cheese sandwich. All those stories about the kids who went through the lines and then had their trays taken away and dumped in the trash in front of them because their account was $5 in the red when they got to the end of the line? Those kids were given cheese sandwiches. This isn’t about allergies. I guarantee you that kids at those tables are swapping food all the time. It’s part of the school cafeteria experience. If the second kid was allergic to the burrito, we’d be reading a different story. It’s because this kid undermined the system that is supposed to punish students for their parents’ “negligence” (poverty).
