Sis: *white-faced* *trembles from head to foot*
Me: What?
Sis: My Mechanics A/Level exam was at 11 AM not 4 PM like I thought.
Time: *is 3 pm*
Me: D: How'd that happen?  
Sis: I must have copied it down wrong!
Me: Like you copied down the date of the exam payment deadline, the date of your SATs and how many other vital dates and times wrong? 
Sis: *has woobie face* 
Me: Aaargh! *headdesk* 

(Ten minutes later)
Sis: *skips in* It's alright!
Me: *not looking up* If you're going to tell me that it's at 4 o'clock after all, so help me God...
Sis: No, no...It's just that I realized I've already taken the M2 exam paper. 
Me: *incredulous* WHAT?
Sis: Yeah, last June. 
Me: Then why the fuck did we pay for it again? 
Sis: Because I didn't get enough marks for it the first time. But the mark's still valid so it's all alright! *skips off merrily* 
Me: *attempts not to hyperventilate* 

My sister is nineteen. She is also a walking exampe of why people need to take a qualification test before being declared legal adults.

So...I'm in a play. A professional one.

I realize it's odd that I've never talked about it after that first mention of it back in January, especially considering it's virtually takn over my life for the last couple of months. The more something stresses me out, the less I talk about it.

Here's what it's about, in a nutshell:


Here are a couple more articles, if you want pictures.

We had a preview performance yesterday for the university and school kids. Some of them didn't quite get it, but they weren't bored or anything, and most people were positive about it. Tonight is opening night. I don't suppose I'll be very nervous tonight, since I was only a little nervous last night and I think I got it out of my system. But the critics are coming today, so I hope I don't gum up just the same.

It's going to be very strange on Monday, when I won't have any rehearsals to go to. I'll have to get myself partially lobotomized to stop myself reciting random bits of dialogue at intervals for the rest of my life.

Wish me luck.
