Missed Snit Fit Chance. Darn.

I see that I have missed out on a wonderful opportunity to be dramatically obnoxious, darn it. Cindy, over at My Brilliant Mistakes, is the producer for the Butler Little Theater's production of Romeo and Juliet, and on account of this she has had to call people up and tell them they did or didn't get parts, and some young woman had a Giant Snit Fit cause she didn't get the part she wanted, and got offered something else instead. I guess she's been imagining herself as Juliet for weeks, and doesn't really want to be one of those girls at the party.

Anyway, I'm annoyed, cause I didn't get the chance to try out for the part of Juliet, get offered the part of the Nurse instead, and then have a giant snit fit cause I didn't get the part I wanted, and refuse to be in the show at all. Also, I would have appreciated the chance to threaten Cindy with the wrath of my Dad --I wouldn't be able to convincingly threaten that he won't be in the show either, since he's in Albuquerque, but I could have threatened that he would pull strings in Washington and get the nation's scientists to boycott the production.

Cindy says she's sorry she didn't post earlier about the auditions, so that I could have known about them, created a scenario, and pitched a fit. So she says I can pitch a fit about not being told about the auditions.

Thank you! I will.

I am SO distraught that I wasn't told personally about the auditions for the production of Romeo and Juliet in a borough I never personally go to and cannot find on a map! Don't you know who I AM?! I have lived my ENTIRE life waiting for the chance to play Juliet, and now I find it snatched away from me, since the only production ever produced anywhere near me in my entire 50 years on the planet has seen its auditions come and go, without me, the drama queen of my household, and indeed, my entire DEPARTMENT, being personally informed! I am SO going to SULK! And you just wait for the next techno-geek girly blogger lunch, missy, cause I'm going to be there, yes I am, but you can just talk to the hand, and I'll be conversing elsewhere!

There. That was fun.

Sorry to have been unable to contribute to the Butler fun earlier, Cindy. Let me know when you run out of drama queens there, and I'll come help.

I never wanted to play Juliet, even in my far away youth, as she always seemed to me a right ninny. I'd rather have been Mercutio, actually, but the chances of getting cast for that role were even smaller than my prospects as Juliet. But, oh, Mercutio! I think I'd like to BE Mercutio. I just love that death scene. Perhaps I'll work on that over Thanksgiving -- it'll spice up the family reunion no end.

Or perhaps I'll just drag in lines whenever possible, so as to entertain the children. The child is used to me by now -- well, he's known me all his little life, and he's no fool -- but his cousins are still sorta getting used to me, since they only see me once a year and they kinda forget in between.

Ask for me tomorrow and you will find me a grave man.
