two gentlemen of verona, one i am rapt about, the other didn't get hit enough

went to see the bell shakespeare's two gents of verona...
loved it.
bell always do great stuff....
like, reading shakespeare is never quite enough, its like reading from sheet music. (i think someone's said that before me...just to reference HAH stupid edu psych ppl saying i cant do it)

this one was soo...just, incredible...
id describe it more, but id feel exactly like yr 12 where i had to do the same thing with shakespeare performances...just ask me bout it
ALTHOUGH, i wasnt happy bout how julia (wronged damsel) took proteus (cheating lying bastard)back when he said he was really really sorry...it lacked something...
i mean (and if tom mentions the word nerd i shall scalp him) in midsommer(go the completely original anal-retentive spelling) night's dreamE , demetrius has kinda done the same thing, swearing to love one girl, then pursuing another, both julia and helena are WRONGED, but demetrius...
well, thanks to a handy spell, he loves her again...which now feels even fickler...
but then, at least she knows he wont ...
he swears to her how he loves her and he says how beautiful she is...
how his life wont be complete until etcetcetc...
ah! got it! he talks about the way he felt about the other girl (hermia) those feelings melting like the summer snow, and how the only object of his life is helena...
all proteus ses is here is his life's wish
and suddenly julia's like 'here is mine', without another word from him....
its too easy...id be heaps angrier i reckon...i woulda liked it better if she'd kicked him down and taken up with the other chap whose girlfriend died ages ago...
tho he legged it leaving her friend to die...
ok, just kicked him and went home and found someone better, or not.

i like to think i have high standards
kisses to my teddy bear
-and general other persons (dont laugh at me ppl)
