75% of this blog is me complaining about things other people do.
I really really do not appreciate when someone tries to tell me things I already know. Like if I say, "I'm looking for a play to potentially direct" and they say "well if you ask me, I think you should choose something you really like."
Um
DUH?
Like.. okay wow I already know what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a play with 6-10 characters all aged between 16-25, not double cast, with minimal set, and with no distinct race (because I don't have the resources to properly execute a play that requires actors of specific ethnicity). And the play has to have a very distinct voice and the ability to be pitched well.
It's not even just this. It's a lot of stuff.
"I'm moving towards a double major." "Oh then you should like probably talk to the advisers sometime soon because they're really picky about letting people in." Thanks for the information, I applied and auditioned five months ago, I've been talking to the adviser since the first day of school, I'm taking 18 hours this semester (6 of them being Theatre courses required for the major) so PLEASE do not tell me how you think I should go about this.
The thing is, I won't mention something to you unless I'm basically sure I've got it set. If I say I'm working on writing a play, chances are I'm already done with it. I don't tell people about the things I'm in the middle of.
So if I mention it to you, I've got it under control. So don't tell me how to do it CAUSE CHANCES ARE, I'VE ALREADY DONE IT.
