Playwright Says: aaaaaaaaaaghhhhhh

KYA:
...Oops.

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
...You still only have three finished, don't you.

KYA:
Sure, finished. But the other five are already started!

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
You know, this really shouldn't be so challenging for a playwright.

KYA:
BANTERING DIALOGUE IS NOT THE SAME AS ANALYZING WOYZECK.

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
Hey, where are you going?

KYA:
TO THE GYM.

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
But --

KYA:
I NEED ENDORPHINS.

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
...You forgot your sanity.

KYA:
I. DON'T. WANT IT.

[Door slams.]

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
Was she wearing shoes at least?

[Subaru nods.]

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
Well, small blessings.

[Yasu enters. Subaru gives V sign. Yasu and Subaru make out on bed.]

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
...Why am I still here?

DO YOU WANT TO FAIL, LOLKYA?!

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

XD I'll be fine. That was just a two-hour slice of my eight-hour day. I've gotten more done since then.

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

*g* your eight hour day? what happens to the other 16 hours? i know you don't use them all for sleeping.

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

Ten hours and forty minutes, actually. I woke up at eight. X__X I'm obsessive about editing, so these essays are taking much, much longer than they should.

I reeeeeeally want to go to the gym. *___*

GYM, WHY ARE YOU SO FAR FROM ME?

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

you know, most people come up with excuses to avoid the gym...

[musikologie.livejournal.com]

Please tell me the play isn't as trippy as the opera, because man, that shit is .

Hey, we write essays the same way! By... not writing them!

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

Which play? Woyzeck?

XDDD I just talked to my friend who's also suffering through this and the two of us decided we've lost the last of our respective minds.

[musikologie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Woyzeck. XD

That's always how finals goes, though! Good luck on finishing :D

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

I AM SO TIRED OF FINALS. THEY. NEVER. END.

Woyzeck the Play is actually very cool. There's a major trippy part that some translations add in -- blood bubbling up from the dirt in the woods. But it wasn't in my translation.

SERIOUSLY. FINALS, DIE.

Oh, Kya. *patpats*

DO YOU WORK!!

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

I am!

"Chikamatsu Monzaemon, a playwright who lived during the Tokugawa shogunate, is known as Japan’s Shakespeare. Deciding kabuki was too disloyal to its playwrights, he wrote the majority of his plays for the bunraku stage. He believed bunraku allowed for deeper complexity for its characters and put less focus on the prestige of its actors the way kabuki did."

There, see? I'm working!

[araanaz9.livejournal.com]

When did you write that bit? Because it totally does not count as doing your work if you wrote it this morning AND THEN DID NOT ADD ANYTHING SINCE. *eyes*

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

I WROTE IT AN HOUR AGO, THANK YOU.

[pastdazed.livejournal.com]

WAY TO BE ON GOAL, CIARA. :p

♥

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

THIS IS THE THANKS I GET FOR TAKING TIME OUT OF MY LIFE TO ENTERTAIN YOU?

[pastdazed.livejournal.com]

CURRENTLY ENTERTAINED WITHOUT YOU. PROCRASTINATOR.

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

thanks to me y/y.

me and s club 7, that is.

[saturnial.livejournal.com]

...and I thought that *I* was good a procrastinating. O_O


I BOW TO YOUR SUPERIOR ESSAY-AVOIDANCE SKILLS.

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

XDDD Oh my God, don't encourage me.

I'm just at the brink. This is the last academic obligation of the semester but my mind is already gone.

I'll pull through eventually. I just finished another page. Just taking it one page at a time. -__-

I'M BREATHING I PROMISE.

HYPERVENTIALTING FLAIL IS AWESOME. *beams*

[saturnial.livejournal.com]

Encourage you? To procrastinate? Why on earth would I do that? >:DAt least you're not doing fic/prompt memes?

How, exactly, did you end up with 8-odd essays to write in a week? Did you not have deadlines? How much of them can you bullshit with long words? I FIND COUNTING WORDS HELPS AS WELL. How many hours do you have until they're due?

(BREATHING IS OVERRATED.)

Re: HYPERVENTIALTING FLAIL IS AWESOME. *beams*

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

For my own welfare, I would hope people would boycott any fic meme I attempted to do right now. XDDD

It was a semester-long assignment. She basically gave us the final to do over three months. More than reasonable. I've been starting them throughout the semester, but I hadn't finished any of them until this week. Basically, I got consumed by playwriting and directing and Japanese and the lack of deadlines actually ended up screwing me over in the end. At this point, I would BS them, but I respect the professor too much to make her read through bullshit.

IF THIS WERE ANY OTHER CLASS. *SHAKES FIST*

BANTERING DIALOGUE IS NOT THE SAME AS ANALYZING WOYZECK.

THIS IS A VERY TRUE TRUTH.

[ilanala]

I saw Woyzeck in French (I think) in the papal palace in Avignon a few years ago. Pretty much all I've retained is that it was an awesome place to see a play, but from what I remember, I pity you for having to analyze it. Banter is definitely a lot easier.

. . . XD

Good luck with your essays?

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

Done now. XDDD But thank you!
