HAY GUYS.

I'mma go ask the people at writing_sex what mornings after are like. ^_~ In a couple of days, maybe; there was evidently some kind of blow-up recently. I'm sorry I missed it but glad I wasn't involved.



Ismene FASCINATES ME. I'm actually contemplating half-assing something called Ismene. She cannot move and is not moved by Antigone's appeals, because her duty is more important to her than universal justice.

Our Creon is cold and thunderous by turns, and lovely to watch in his death-white-grey cape and tailored uniform. I can't wait for the rest of the tape. I have no life. XD

Meanwhile, Ismar's name is a tweak on the name Imre (Emmerich); it's a combination of words for "work" and "power".

No one else's names were thus crafted. I was just being cute. And by cute, I mean pretentious.

I found and ripped my previous collection of Shadows songs. They really do sound best in headphones at a higher volume.

I get my computer back for certain soon. I hope it's before break, but as break is coming up wicked fast, I'm not about to hold my breath.

I never wanted it to end this way
But flies will lay their eggs

Also, I have this bad urge to toy with script format. Script, as in, people's names appear as GEORGE: and GEORGE rattles on, with some scenery directions sandwhiched around his lengthy words.

I do that, sometimes, and go back in and put the real story.

I know you've got someplace to get to
And I
Really gotta get somewhere

Gtg. It's yet more school crap! I'm off! Time to research and design a full presentation in two hours. XD

Oh, how I love the oedipus series!!

Antigone is definetely my favorite.
Her determination to bury her brother against the wishes of...was it the king? Is nobel.
Then she hangs herself as does her lover right?

typical greek tragedy but so well written.

Have you ever read Ibsen's, "Enemy of the people???"

Yeah it's Jocasta's brother Creon. (Jocasta = Oedipus' mom-wife). He basically made himself king after Oedipus goes to wander in exile.

Umm, I think so. I know Jocasta hanged herself. We're kind of still on the long part where Antigone laments her fate.

Ahh, no I have not. My "classical" education is woefully bad. XD What's it about?

In my junior English class, we had to read Antigone aloud, and my classmates made me be Antigone, but then the day we read most of the play I was sick. XD

I convinced my mom to substitute in Electra instead and have regretted it ever since.

(The type was TINY and the author-note-supposedly-helpful-margin!things went on. and on. AND ON. It was suck.)

Awww. You would make a nice Antigone! Iirc you have a lovely speaking voice to go with that pretty soprano ^_^

I think an enemy of the people was about a man who got chastized by the people in his community when he went against their will.

He did it because he thought it was the right thing to do.

another reason why i love stories like that.

I had to read Antigone as a sophomore and write a song about it.
