cool I took a Shakespeare class my final semester. Oh god, we had to interpret a scene from any book that we read during the semester. I was like a horrible B movie actress.....no, not even that.....worse than a straight to video actress. Everyone was terrible though. lol

Yes, but it's the double whammy of being yellow and calling the reader a "dummy"!!

And yes, I AM judging the book by it's cover. lol

It may be perfectly useful but it's still not coming into my house. hmph!

I remember doing a scene with another teacher for demonstration purposes in one of my classes and one of the kids said my acting was similiar to Judd Nelson in the breakfast club. I was taken aback and like WTF your 13 years old how the hell do you know about the breakfast club.! I guess I can thank Shakespeare for Dummies for the answer to the thespian question "Okay, whats my motivation!" lol

Oh yeah, I have a ton of these books because there's so much I don't know, you could write a book filled with topics.


Let's call it "All the shit you should know but don't becasue you're an idiot"
