Time for a little update I think.
I'm giving this account a spring-clean. I was all for setting up a complete new account but I couldn't think of a good enough user-name. I've not been on here properly for absolutely ages so I thought the content of this page looked very stale. There isn't a lot I can say about myself really - not because I'm boring, but because I just can't find a way of saying it. Ask me something specific and I'll answer you as honestly as possible.
Random things about me that come into my head: I'm cynical, very cynical and, while generally I like to think I'm a not-so-bad person, there are one or two people out there who, to put it simply, just bring the very worst out in me. No other way of putting it. I just hope that you don't turn out to be one of those, because if you are, I will make your life hell in an incredibly pathetic way. Not that I'm scary or anything. But everyone on this earth is capable of goodest of the good, and the baddest of the bad, so I try not to worry too much, and neither should you. I'm only nineteen so I don't have the faintest idea who I am yet but I don't intend to die any time soon so I'm sure there's time to work those difficult details out. I think about, obsessive over and generally over-analyse pretty much anything which makes me my own worst enemy.
Lol and now you want to hear something cheerful? Well, I really want a baby elephant. They look so sweet and trusting but clumsy as well which endears them. But elephants are actually very graceful elephants and if reincarnation exits, I want to come back as one. I mean, look:

Anyway, shiny gold stars all round for anyone who read that ^^^^ and didn't want to staple things to their head! :D And don't mistake me for an emo... please. For a start, Amy Winehouse-style eyeliner looks like I've just been punched.
Byyyeeeeeee xxx

Alexander Hine on May 8, 2007Mmmmm Serotonin is a delicious substance, and I must say I am sad to hear of your poverty in this regard. Nevertheless, it does not seem to have made you bitter or anything - so das ist good. Typos are annoying (WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE IN TYPO HELL!!!) as are some of those other things you said...I've forgotten.
Well, I like what I've read so far, hope you'll drop by and see my page sometime, though I am fatally prone to prose poetry so you will probably hate it.
Now I will check for typos.

P. S. You might find this title amusing (it's one of those groups)
"For Those Who Want To Improve There Poem and Meet Friends At the Same Time" not only is the title long and awkward, it has a misspelling...how this group will improve my work i am yet to see.

CelticKisses : blahhh on May 7, 2007Review of "Much Ado About Nothing" (Liverpool Playhouse)
It astonishes me how some directors decide to not stick to tradition. "Much Ado About Nothing" is a play written by William Shakespeare, arguably the most successful playwright to date, whos original works continue to both delight and sadden readers, yet director, Phil Willmott, attempts to give it a modern spin, combining it with 1945's VE-day celebrations. I found that this didn't work because, typically, Willmott has thought that this play, in its original context, was too old-fashioned for a modern audience and has therefore decided to give it a facelift, instead of concentrating on conveying Shakespeare's ideas/messages/themes. What he should have remembered is that theatre-lovers today often go for a slice of history, to watch something beautiful and traditional. And, let's face it - Elizabethan English might as well be an entirely different language today; a WW2 subtext may confuse rather than enhance.
However, not all is lost. The set, both versatile and realistic, transformed successfully from anything from the outdoor ruralism of an orchard to the indoor formality of a church with minimal fuss. The lightning also worked well, helping to portray the "mood" or the setting of the scene - a dimmer light which suggested melancholy, for example, was often replaced by a much brighter light to suggest joy.
Additionally, the comedy was absolutely brilliant. It was both subtle and side-splitting in equal measures and although it tripped clumsily over its own feet at the start, by the end it had caught up with itself and the audience was laughing out loud. In my eyes, it was the use of props that was most effective with the comedy, especially the use of the masks, which had the audience in hysterics as certain characters cavorted about the stage, using them in very naughty ways indeed. I acually overheard a few groups of people talking as we were making our way to the bar afterwards and the majority of conversations were praising the play's humour. This told me that it was obvious that the humour made a significant impact. Great stuff.
Shame that the rest of the play wasn't up to scratch. Admittedly, my love/hate relationship with the works of Shakespeare may be to blame here (I do admire his plays, though three years spent studying them has taken its toll) but between these wonderful snatches of comedy and my admiration of the set and lighting, I felt myself losing interest. A good play should keep its audience's attention from the minute the curtain goes up to the moment the bar opens - unfortunately, this one didn't. There were often lulls in the performances when I found myself wondering dully just how long it would be to the interval. That is not what the audience of a good play should be thinking.
All in all, yes, the comedy is worth a ticket - but only if you're prepared to sit through tedious chunks of colourless dialogue that will quickly cause drowsiness.
Star rating: ***
***** - get a front row seat
**** - buy the program
*** - worth an applause
** - stay in the bar
* - have a night in
