h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Something tells me we're not in Kansas any more.

Lol.
In Australia right now it's 7:30 pm, and yes, I have had dinner already. (sadly, no icecream was involved).

... Not that I've ever been to Kansas anyway.


If you didn't have any icecream for dinner, then go have some now!

Hey... good idea!
You should come to Kansas sometime. The scenery is quite... um... unique.

More like flat. Very flat.

Plains state, you know.


But there is the occasional tornado to liven things up.

Great... tornadoes.
And flat, empty landscape.
Sounds like Outback Australia. Minus the tornadoes. And OA had the occasional twisted bush scrub to break the monotony (or add to it, whichever way you look at it).
Incedentally, where are you from, Lady Scott?

I know I know!!! Pennsylvania! Dont ask how I know because I cant remember!

Its time for 11s round here. Im thinking....vanilla icecream! or pistachios sprinkled on top...erm...maybe not actually.

Ahhh, back to food...
Please don't get me hungry again. It's 8:30pm and for some strange and unimaginable reason, I'm tired. I don't need hunger added to it!
(On the other hand, icecream does sound good right about now...)
Why not put grated chocolate on your vanilla icecream, Kat? I dunno...

There's no chocolate in the house and I get scared of going out so Im not about to buy any. Oh well it'll be lunch soonish so maybe Ill just hang on.

Shall we talk of something not food related? ERmmmm...

I've moved on... It's homemade choc-chip cookies in the oven now.

Mmmmm... ...

Shakespeare?

Okay

Plays wot I 'ave studied

Macbeth
Midsummer Night's Dream
The Taming Of the Shrew
Romeo and Juliet
Twelfth Night
As You Like It

I'm studying "Midsummer Night's Dream" at the moment. It's my first Shakespeare, but I'm really liking it. I've read it through twice and seen it performed.
I'm looking forward to doing Shakespeare later as I progress through high school (or should I? Some people say it's slow torture. I'm a newbie to this sort of stuff, so give me some tips here, people...)

Hmm... I've only read/been in Midsummer Night's Dream. I was Oberon. Yes, I'm a girl.

Everyone's always started on Midsummer Night because it's a nice easy play to understand and it's fun to act in.

Age when did play (as school grades differ)

Midsummer Nights Dream 11
Romeo and Juliet 13
Macbeth 15
Twelfth Night 16
Taming Of the Shrew 16-17
As You Like It 17

I hope we do another (different) play this year (at my school). It was fun.

You did Shakespeare when you were eleven? I'm nearly fifteen and I've just started. Damn the Australian education system!

*shrug* I'm thirteen. I think it varies in the American system, though. It was an extracurricular thing and such depended on a teacher who's plans are notorious for falling through. But this one worked out.

Ok...
If they offered Shakespeare as an extracurricular thing here, nobody would do it (which I guess is the point...).
I just wish I'd done it earlier. Ah well, I'm started on it now, so I can't complain.

Oh I wouldn't complain. We were all SICK of it even just by GCSE year!
Obviously in the English system Shakespeare is pushed forward seeing as he's ours. I had to study Christpoher Marlowe this year too...that was MUCH worse.
