Oh, I was ten years old. That, I think, was the year I met Sam.
I actually became super ignorant and oblivious during that time, and I might've caused a lot of problems to Venus, but it was the best year of my life so far. I don't think anything can change that. That was also the time a certain someone ran away to Earth, I think?
Hm. We were all kind of distracted that year, huh?

Antony and Cleopatra Casting
*Please read with utmost love and care.
Cast:
Setting:
Triumvirate = Company run by Antony, Octavius and Lepidus
Egypt = Music industry/some big media-related place
Rome = the city or Antony's hometown
Parthia = Enemy company
I don't think any of us knows the story of Antony and Cleopatra that much, so here's summary by Acts. Just think of this modernly as you read it. Think men (or women) in suits. Money, business, responsibilities to the company. Think guns and chase scenes and whores and murder plots and business bankruptcy. Companies eating companies. But I'm not so sure what the fuck the companies do exactly. Ideas anyone? Oh, and should we keep the character's gender or should we change the genders ---like what I've done?
Act 1:
So, Antony's part of this Triumvirate, a group of three ruling over Rome. Triumvirate consists of Antony, Octavius and Lepidus. So, Antony starts forgetting about his duties in Rome and just drowns in his pleasures in Egypt with Cleopatra... And soon, Antony and Cleopatra becomes the "celebrity couple" of the known world. They are like this for a while until Antony hears news about his wife and brother starting war with Octavius. He ignores this at first, but later, more bad news comes. His wife has died, his brother lost their war with Octavius, and Pompey is beginning to make his move on Rome. So he decides to go back.
Act 2:
When Antony returns, Octavius tells him to make amends by marrying off his sister Octavia to him. Cleopatra takes the news badly and starts abusing her attendants. The Triumvirate goes to dinner with Pompey, to try to make peace with him. Antony's presence was enough to scare Pompey to submission. Menas offers to murder the three, but Pompey told him not to because he's a good fella'.
Act 3:
Antony and Octavia move to Athens, while Cleopatra, in Egypt, refuses to give up with her love for Antony. Some time passes and Octavius makes war with Pompey without Antony or Lepidus' consent. He talks rubbish about Antony, destroying his reputation, and preparing for war against him. Antony sends Octavia to try and talk him to stop, but it's too late. Octavius sends Lepidus to prison while Antony flees to Egypt and makes love and bastard children with Cleopatra like there's no tomorrow. Octavius is angered by the betrayal against his sister and prepares for war.
The war is quite rapid in land, and Antony stalls before running to the sea with Cleopatra. Octavius defeats the two, and Cleopatra panics and flees with all her ship. Antony leaves his men to follow Cleopatra, much to the disgust of his men. Enobarbus remains loyal.
Antony's and angry at Cleopatra turns to feasting, pretending like they've won the war.
Act 4:
Antony becomes irrational and anxious. Enobarbus becomes hopeless and joined Octavius, but he recieves a "parting gift" from Antony and starts to feel guilty and then he kills himself. All of Antony's men abandon him and he's convinced that Cleopatra has, too. Frightened, Cleopatra shuts herself in her castle and pretends that she's dead, sending the word to Antony. Antony is saddened and then kills himself with the sword. Cleopatra hears this and took his body.
Act 5:
Octavius is moved to tears when he sees Antony's blood-covered sword. He sends his men to get Cleopatra, so that he can parade her in Rome. She learns about this and kills herself with poisoned snakes before Octavius could parade her. Octavius has them buried together with a funeral service, and then becomes the first Roman Emperor.

a&c and theme four
Okay, so House C drew "Antony and Cleopatra in Action" for the play.
This should be interesting...
The story is overall easy enough to follow, and our synopsis is short. How lucky! :D But we're lacking boys, so that'll be a problem. Anyway, here are the characters for Antony and Cleopee. Try outs are on the House C Lounge! see ya there:
Character list
And remember, 8 characters per scene. Which means we can repeat people.
AND OY! House C! WE ARE LEADING. House C holds The Cup! Don't let it go to waste. We have really strong women and able men. If we come together, we'll be able to win this thing blindfolded. From my point of view, our biggest threat is House A. The other two houses are not as united. So, who do we kill? Who will the Roman Triumvirate and the land of Egypt send their armies to? That's right---Macbeth. We will make him fall! HUZAAAHH!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now, the blog theme.
From what I've observed, the person I chose is quite----what's the word?----popular? In fact, he/she is exactly the kind of person I'd be interested in, or, if the mood strikes, I could even choose to attack him/her. Maybe the reason I haven't is because I know that this person is already interested in someone in a semi-serious way (although I'm not so clear on it).
In terms of attitude, I can't say he/she is that nice. I mean, niceness is definitely overpowering the evilness inside this person...but that doesn't necessarily mean he/she is good. Most of the time, he/she is pretty quiet. And quiet doesn't really mean nice or kind or good. And plus, I get the vibe that this person isn't letting people in his/her life, you know what I'm saying?
It's like, he/she is only good to people he deems worthy of his/her niceness. Otherwise, he/she's all bitchy. Safe to say, I don't quite like this person. Otherwise, I'd had already made a move. hahah
