Verisimilitude

I've found a cure for Frienditis (disease I mentioned in previous post). Have your friend hate you. Then you won't like them so much.

Anyhoo... I took a drama class yesterday at my Church. It was taught by this guy who teaches at a University. I learned some thing I hadn't heard before:
- Verisimilitude - It's like when you break the fourth wall to explain something to the audience. Like in Shakespeare, when instead of sets, they just said, "They're on the Heath", or whatever.
- Italian Run - a run-through that is double-time.
- French Scene - Anytime a character enters or exits the stage. I thought they were called "Entrances" and "Exits" but nooo... -__-
If you can't tell, I'm a little dash-crazy today. =D
I also learned about Beats and Units and stuff.. but that's more difficult to explain.
So there's a little theatre language for you, if you didn't already know it, anyways. And if you did, then at least you found the cure for Frienditis.

Frienditis

I have Frienditis. I suffer from it. It's not a rare disease, but I'm a rare person, therefore it is thrice as miserable. Symptoms are as follows, diagnose yourself if necessary:
• You love, love, love your friends, and people, for that matter.
• Your friends, along with most other people, have too many emotions.
• As well as problems.
• They're very dramatic
• You have to deal with it all of the time
• Yet you can't seem to get rid of them, no matter how hard you try.
Do you suffer silently? Or maybe you even suffer loudly, screaming your pain to your friends, but it doesn't help. Take part of our study to see if we can aid this problem. We're thinking we probably can't, but we want to make you feel like we can.. but people don't seem to grow up fast enough.. and we can't make you hate the people you love.. soo.... you're stuck. But call now anyways at 1-800-FRIENDITIS, call now, 1-800-FRIENDITIS.
