It was all Seton's fault!

[hermione]

I am currently in a production of The Winters Tale and last night I messed up. But it was all Seton's fault!
It was during Act 3, Scene 1. I entered as Queen Hermione to defend myself against accusations of adultery with Polixenes, King of Bohemia by my husband King Leontes of Sicily. I begin "More than mistress of which comes to me in name of fault, I must not at all acknowledge. For Polixenes, with whom I am accused..." then suddenly I had a vision of Seton playing Death Machine and I was done for. I totally forgot where I was and my lines! I got away with it (just) by making it look as though Hermione was overcome momentarily by emotion. Thank heavens for prompters!
I have an audition tomorrow and hope that Mr Daunt doesn't show up there too!
Has anyone else ever found themselves so totally absorbed in FP?

[chemicalmystery]

I've discovered I can't do homework and listen to FP unless it was my idea, it came on my roommates ipod yesterday and I didn't do work for a good half hour after it because I got sidetracked, hence I was up til the early morning this morning before I finished it managed to derail me that much and stop my momentum!

How nerve-racking hermione! Those FP men have a lot to answer for! I am frequently distracted by FP and their music and was once given a warning by a former boss for spending too much time chatting about the guys, both with colleagues and online. Oh well, I never liked that job anyway. My man and my friends tolerate my FP addiction exceptionally well, in fact many are now becoming FPers themselves - a case of "if you can't beat them, join them" perhaps?

HEAPS OF LUCK with the audition. I thought the attached pic might help. Encountering a black swan is considered lucky within that theatrical company I believe?

Break a leg!

This is such a familiar scenario. I cannot study at all whilst playing (or hearing anyone else play) FP. I listen to the guys in the evening then catch up with studies and writing in the small hours. I have become a real night owl (yawn.)

How clever of you to know about the black swan superstition harembee. Thank you so much!!!! It may have helped. I've been shortlisted. ;D

Congratulations hermi. I was so lost in FP on the metro yesterday I travelled five stops past the one I should have got off at. I was almost at the beach instead of work. It was tempting to just carry on going I must admit!

[harembee]

I would definitely have taken a sickie and carried on to the beach at Whitley Bay. I envy you living so close to this area. I just love the coastal walk there. Hope to visit again soon (before the weather gets too cold). Fancy meeting up there and walk along to Tynemouth for Earl Grey tea and cakes in my favourite teashop?

I work behind the bar now and then at Jez's club and got completely distracted one night last week when the DJ (Izzy)played Two Sisters. I was pouring a coke from one of the nozzled hose thingies and started to bop. I missed the glass completely and the coke spilled all over the bar, my feet, everywhere. The guy I was serving looked at me like I was demented. I just smiled and said "FP!" by way of an explanation. I poured him another, took his money and bopped to the till with it. ;D

[hermione]

Your local DJ plays FP? Yowsa! I'm gonna work on mine and get him to do the same. Keep on boppin' behind that bar. GO GIRL!!!!!
