Making Up Lines

[deird_lj]

Had rehearsals last night.

The scene I'm in is one long party sequence. And yes, I have many lines, but I have even more time standing around in the background murmuring to people in vague having-a-conversation tones.

After a while, you run out of stuff to say to each other. Some people have been just saying what they're saying ("Pretty dress, pretty dress." "Ooh! Admire, admire, show off my dress." "Admire."), which is hilarious to listen to.
And last night my conversation partner and I got sick of that, and started reciting nursery rhymes to each other. There's something extremely entertaining about saying "Incy-wincy spider climbed up the waterspout" in very serious tones, while fluttering a fan and trying to look beautiful...

Ewwwwww, I was like 7!! You're gross. *iz grossed*


...funny how I've never seen any of those movies but have stalked Aly interviews enough to get the reference. o.O

If you've not seen the films you might not know that
Aly (Michelle) tells all sorts of mundane, non-rude, nerdy, pretty-boring-actually anecdotes about her time at band camp that would be perfectly suitable for a 7-year old to do.

It's only the one right at the end of the film - pretty much its punchline, in fact, - that involved a flute being used for a non-musical purpose. :-)

...and is really quite hilarious if you don't know it's coming.

Hee! Yeah, no, I know that. That one just kinda stood out in my mind. :P

That one just kinda stood out

That's only natural.

Flutes are pretty big, after all.
