Sometimes I think abt how for my 13th birthday I was super into anime at the time and my mom didn't know what to get me so she asked my brother if these were fine. And proceeded to send him hentai shoes. Safe to say I got a big Monokuma for that birthday
Ykw I'm genuinely bored as shit so I'm gonna just rant about the theater program I was in for 3 years since I'm graduating this month.
Hi I'm a senior in high school and here's the WONDERS of my senior year in this totally amazing theater program that I totally didn't put blood, sweat and tears into
For also context this musical was in the heights but you're not geeky enough to know that. Maybe.
Starting off strong a freshman had the lead! No prior experience! Sports guy nights I add! Sweet kid but he was picked SOLELY on vibes. Pretty much...his love interest in this? A SENIOR girl. Funnier fact they started DATING. Awesome guys! A senior girl and freshman boy! What can go wrong! (I mean, they're still going strong and apparently I'm the only person who sees an issue. If the roles were swapped it'd be a different story huh?) Tho ya there's that. Our dance choreographer was fired after she'd been here all 3 of my years and more for lowk trying to tickle our pink clams..! Like idk if she had some kinda psychotic break or sum shit but she was over here taking us aside for private time, reveals her scars to the YOUNGEST CAST MEMBERS WE HAD, throwing stuff at us (including me, she almost threw a pen at me hello 😭) and just being fuckin WEIRD and TOUCHY. She was promptly fired after. A month of this. Bc our director was gone for some personal stuff..the cast wasnt that bad tbh! But like, lowk I was stuck as a butt fuck small ass role that fit the same "mother" type cast I've been trapped in for this whole time so that was fun and totally not horrid. For my senior year. To have one of the smallest roles that doesn't make me an ensemble. No dance numbers. No songs besides my song. Some dialogue. Fun. Also idk what like if I did smth wrong or if I pissed off my director for asking if she could write my letter of rec last year but she lowk had it OUT for me. Yelling at me for MOUTHING SMTH TO MY FRIEND BC SHE WAS LOWK FEELING PAIN when kids around me straight twerking and flinging Doo Doo like apes. Calling me to practices I clearly wasn't needed for, "but Danny! Real actors are always on call by time!" I COULD'VE BEEN HOME FOR MY LITTLE BROTHER'S BIRTHDAY. I COULD'VE BEEN DOING THE WORK FOR MY MULTIPLE AP CLASSES. BUT NO. I WAS HERE. DOING NOTHING. ONLY BEING USED TO BE A STAND IN. That's an important thing that'll come back later..! Anywho. This show was a MESS. rlly cool show, mess that was put together by tape. We lowk almost starved opening night bc my director wasn't prepared for smth. THE DAY NY FAMILY BRINGS FOOD. NO ONE ATE IT. I was deadass so fuckin pissed I didn't eat. Also that's the thing bc we had such a big cast and crew this year we RARELY got fed for rehearsals. Like I was bringing extra stuff for ppl if they wanted some bc I for sure didn't need this 😭😭..
Then theater season ended. Only good thing even abt this was how I got closer to my friends bc like last show and I got to all meet new ppl, spend time with my already close friends and get closer to ppl I only basically knew. (Plus I confessed to my then crush who's now my bf. And he lowk liked me for MONTHS too like I did. So. Yay!) Then came. Shudders. The banquet.
⚡⚡⚡
So the banquet, was shit! Barely ANY decoration. like. At all. Could've left the cafeteria bare and it would've been better! My friend said "well that's bc we rely on volunteers for help" and last year was a way better looking banquet. More thought. Ya I can tell this year we had no volunteers helping LMAO. And the awards. The AWARDS. Genuinely some chatgpt shit I swear a village has no clean water anymore bc of this. Everyone's had no thought just bare boned acknowledgement awards vaguely relating to in the heights. And MY AWARD. OH NY GOD.
(Only piece of my room y'all will see til I get out of my slump and being busy and CLEAN IT.)
NOW, this SOUNDS like a cute award with all the words. In short? "Best substitute". Ya. I HEARD THE AWARD NAME and literally braced for impact bc good God did I know my cornball hag director wasn't gonna give this to anyone BUT me. So I'm like fuck ok fuck her then. Then came the senior acknowledgement. So I was straight OUTTA IT for this one yk? Bc after the blue award I was just looking at the clock for when this shit was over. I heard the words "freshman..." and "...seniors.." in the sentence and seniors being called up for who've been here since freshman year. All the seniors were up but me. I didn't rlly think too much bc me and my parents thought it was just for ones who been here since freshman year I joined my sophomore year. Then I saw a girl who I KNOW transferred in her sophomore year too up there. I was confuzzled. Tell me why.
MY DIRECTOR FUCKING FORGOT ABT ME TO CALL ME UP.
AND IT WASN'T.UNTIL MY FRIEND'S GRANDMA YELLED OUT HOW THEY FORGOT ME. AND EVERYONE JUMPED THE BANDWAGON. she gave some half assed apology abt like oh my bad g type shit californiaaa loveeee shit and I was finally called up with my certificate and acknowledgement. I wanted to go tf home.
So there was that, embarrassment ritual. Can't get worse? Well, it didn't but it keeps going. So we have these special medals/awards rhat were ofc more thought than the acknowledgement awards. Apparently I got one! Most improved! Now that sounds nice! And it was I have the medal proudly on my mirror. But guess WHAT!!!! they put the WRONG PICTURE AND NAME when they called me up! Bc I'm at the back of this banquet FURTHEST from the podium/stage so I can't hear for Jack shit. I heard what I thought (and was) my name and get up. But I saw the WRONG NAME AND PICTURE UP so I was awkwardly shuffling back to sit back down but my mom was like no no it was you. THEY BARELY NOTICED WHEN I TURNED BACK AROUND AND CHANGED IT TO ME. LIKE. Man ok IG. I got to make a speech, bro I'm so outta it I'd rather be high on black tar cocaine than be here atp. I just say uh thanks I wasn't expecting this. And get of the mic bc I wanna get this shit done as fast as possible. And FINALLY after my director's MINDLESS rambling and speeches it's DONE. There was a thing for a picture but man I didn't give a fuck. Second it ended this was the exchange of me and my mom:
"Wanna jam...?"
"Yes."
And we gtfo.
So I thought that'd be the end? CHERRY ON TOP. So my rlly good close friend who's ALSO been targeted by our director, he ofc got an acknowledgement award everyone and their mom gets these. But, THEY DIDN'T.HAVE IT FUCKING PRINTED FOR HIM. AT THE BANQUET. THEY HAD NOTHING TO GIVE HIM. HE HAD TO GET IT THE NEXT DAY. We both do NOT like our director, so I accompany him to get his award from her classroom the next day during break. She's on this whole waa waa schtick on "oh don't think I forgot you! You were an unforgettable actor/performer!" or smth. And I'm walking out the door bc ion wanna be around this ho. And she says as I'm leaving. Not even mentioning by name I am a pure AFTER THOUGHT to her. "You too! ^_^". You too. That's it. Ya she got not response from me as I left that classroom.
Also, I tore up that acknowledgement award. To shreds, cheap cardstock. Threw it partially in her trashcan. So ya! Not helping her again! I will be at the shows, but for my friends who r still doing this, not her. And ofc to see the kind alumni who ACTUALLY HELPED ME and didn't make me feel like Doo Doo caca shit. But ya! Ty for listening to my Ted talk I might do ranting on occasion if I want to. So by e
