Decision

I have officially decided to leave ubu panoozi. i'm sorry Ayame,but i still feel as though my art is disregarded. that,and it's taken almost a year to plan this site,and we haven't even gotten much planning done. it shouldn't take this long to plan a website. a bussiness,maybe,but an anime fansite,no. sorry.

So, I didn’t get the part of Willy Wonka. D:

I'm using weird fonts to upload my blog because I discovered the (painfully obvious) feature of uploading blog posts from Microsoft Word. Wow, exciting. [/sarcasm]

I'm using Papyrus now. I've decided not to rant about not getting the part. It will not do any of you any good to hear about it. Nobody wants an annoyingly depressed blog owner, and besides, I've gotten over it, so I'm pretty chipper right now. Unfortunately, I have schoolwork looming and I got up late. Too late.

I was supposed to be doing something ridiculously important, but I'm far too busy updating a blog. I still think that this feature is nifty, but beware, many, many blog posts will be made in the future about nothing in particular, and proudly published. I had a nice weekend. Happy autumn, everyone out there! I'm starting to be annoyed by the constant grammatical errors I seem to make, due to the grammar checker disregarding context and it's somewhat unreliable.

My life is painfully uninteresting, I think. My whole day consists of work and whining, but I really can't rant about that. I am not going to get distracted by politics, either, despite the many issues that I often feel the need to rant about and the awful doings of a much-loved (give me a break) candidate. (I'm looking at you, Sarah Palin. Yes.) Word crashed when I got to the word candidate, because, apparently, it can absolutely not stand me voicing my opinion. Every time I seem to, it crashes. It's oddly hilarious. Or maybe Word just fails. Ha, I dare you to spontaneously crash, Word. I dare you. At least it recovered the thing. I feel like using different colors for the sake of it. Anyways, back to dull work. I shouldn't complain.

I've got a weird, stupid mind. You should see my to-do list that I made up. I'm not even funny.

Willy Wonka Wishes: And a half-hearted response to Itoe...

So, this thing I'm involved in (I loathe it) is providing a drama club a few cities over. They are doing a production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I went to the casting call today, which was dull, and I almost died while I was forced to sing in front of people. I now empathize a bit more with people who fear public speaking, because public singing (singing in general) is my weakness. With acting, there seems to be a thrill before you get on, excitement, maybe a little dread, and anticipation, like a rollercoaster mounting the first hill. With singing, I think the rollercoaster crashed (I only sang a pathetic tidbit of Popular, and the words I had confidently memorized evaporated, deserted me, returned, and refused to organize themselves. But I only had one night to practice...). Anyways, back to my main point.
I only have one desire, one goal, one purpose in existing in this drama club... A wild dream...
I want to be cast as Willy Wonka.
Now, this may seem ludicrous for a female, especially after the singing fiasco (I felt dizzy), but I am reassured by the fact that I Read The Pants Off All The Other Wonka Readers.
Their performance was lackluster; I think I brightened up the role. When I complained that I must have failed, the others assured me that I did great!
The cold reading is always the best part. I do dread being emailed the assigned roles, though, because:
I only read as three characters- Phineas Trout, Willy Wonka, and Grandma Georgina.
If I do not recieve the role of Willy Wonka, I am left in a bad place. I wouldn't mind Phineas Trout so much, but Grandma Georgina seems bad, and I did not even read her well!
I am usually shunted aside in productions. I mean, I am not the best actor, but I want to be in the spotlight. It's just because of my singing thing.
It's Willy Wonka or nothing, folks. It is very probable that I will drop out if I do not recieve a good role. If I somehow, miraculously, get one, then I'm staying. But I only read for those three aforementioned characters, and I don't want to desert this.
Can anyone even envision a female Wonka? The other people who read have the advantage of being male; I just want to be Willy Wonka. He's awesome. In plays, I don't think it matters what gender someone is. I think I remember reading about a time where ALL the actors were male.
All hope is not lost; I have been acknowledged, and I think that the people running it will consider me.
Cross your fingers; pray; and if all fails, please stand by to console me.
Translation: Look out for a future emo rant.
And, about Itoe/Relith's post, I'm sorry. I think that designating someone as 'main' in something could create some hierarchy issues later, so let us not label each other. I don't want feelings of inferiority surfacing.
Please stay with us; I think it's in your best interests.
And pray for me to be Willy Wonka.

Coder's Rights

My first post on this blog. As I am the person thats doing all the coding for Ubu Panoozi because SOMEBODY *coughLeacough* is too lazy to remember much HTML. What I've been wondering about is...How much control on the graphics of a layout do you think a coder for a multi-person run website should have,assuming theres someone there to do various images? As a coder and an artist,I think that the person coding the layout should be aloud to do some,if not all,of the graphics for the layout assuming they are willing to. Some people seem to think differently *coughAyamecough*, as,even if the person behind the coding specifies a desire to do the graphics,their art may get pushed aside so the main artist can do the art,even if the complicates things and annoys the coder. Sometimes if the coder does the graphics before the webmaster/webmistress(assuming the coder isn't the webmaster) knows of the layout,they may get unfairly confronted for not letting the main artist do the graphics,even if the layout is just for fun. For some of those reasons,I have been thinking about quiting Ubu Panoozi. And I probably will. I plan to think it over for a while,though.
