Back in black

I'm back! Went to a drama contest last night with my good friends Niamh McDonagh and Aisling Murphy...started off fabulous, especially when we thought only two people had entered...turned out there were actually nine people and they all did two pieces each that lasted a good ten minutes and some were a bit snoooozesome...also the theatre place was a good two hundred degrees hot! Niamh and I's solution was to subtley remove a good ten items of clothing while the lights were safely off, who could have predicted they'd come on again so suddenly...shocking for those around I can only imagine...

Another personal highlight was the speech by a very famous, drunk and respected member of the drama teaching community, an extract follows below...
'This feis used to take place in a church, except all the priests died...except for of course Father Michael...my dad died...it's good to have friends...especially Anne, Derbhaile, Anne and Anne...DON'T MOVE MY PROP...'
I had to eat the belt I'd taken off to stop myself from laughing at the poor soul...

An absolute hero won the cup in the end whose piece included the line 'Ethel looks like something that'd eat their young'...deserved.

Just spent half an hour teaching my thirteen year old brother quadratics while he screamed about how 'ABUSIVE' I was being...fulfilling stuff, teaching.

Annnyways, better dashio like pistachio mannn...

  1. Aw, sorry to hear you didn't win, at least you had a great time! Teaching siblings is easy when you're holding a gun, they hardly talk back at all!
