that one gov. and cit. project that I really like...

We had to write a "Declaration of Independence" for Gov. and Cit. and not to brag but mine is brilliant!

                When in the Course of human events--mainly towards the end of February in the school year—it becomes necessary for one girl and maybe a few other 52 cast members to dissolve the bonds of after school play practice and night performances which has connected them with one another. Although they have spent a great few months working together as time goes along it comes time for the cast to declare their separation from the show.

                I hold these thoughts to be self-evident, that there are no small parts only small actors, that all actors have certain-unalienable things they should be able to do among which are: to not trip over set pieces in the dark, make costume changes in a reasonable amount of time, make curtain call with-out gasping for breath, and to sing “Zero to Hero” as loud and as often as they so choose. But “Beauty and the Beast” is a tyrant—sort of—that rules over our lives. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to the candid world.

I have woken up with mascara smears daily

I am neglected the chance to belt to the radio in the morning due to a lack of voice

There is a constant need for “six eggs”

I am nearly asleep in Chemistry everyday

My friends can be found in “character state” during the school day

My dinner nowadays consists of Peanut Butter M&M’s only

Vitamin C Drops have been disappearing at an alarming rate

I now talk with stage presence to almost everyone I see

I have a desire to sing about every exciting thing that happens

My friends and I use quotes from the show in almost every conversation

                I, and others, therefore, believe it is time to separate. It is needed so I can regain my good grades and so I can see the end of the show by purchasing a DVD of it. I appeal to Mr. Shelly and to the world to end the show after this Saturday.  And for the Support of this Declaration, with a firm-ish reliance on the protection of the actors sanity, we mutually pledge to each other our Time, our Fruit Snacks and homemade Oreos, and our date nights.

(this is to be intended as a joke, I dearly love being part of the play.)

and I got like half the cast to sign it and I didn't even ask the other half!
