I Would Make A Great Actress

Yes sir, I would... Here's why -

Well, first, I just finished reading my sister's diary, and
let me tell you, she make me laugh so hard! She writes some
of the gayest stuff... wow. Here's her entry:
(NOTE: I numbered the lines so at the bottom I could explain
whyat was wrong with line _ or line _)

BY: MY SISTER

BEGIN

The Scene...
The Silvis household, about 11:30 AM

The Characters...
1. Jessica: the sleeping beauty, sleeping in her basement
bedroom on her first day of summer vacation, just finished
her sophomore final exams

2. Kim: the very grumpy younger sister, grumpy because she
spent the night before at a friend's house, getting home
from her last day of school (a half day)

3. Geoff: twin brother of Kim and younger brother of
Jessica, an avid tennis player, also finished his last day
of school

A bit of background...
4. Jessica finished her final exams on Monday, the 17th of
June. Her middle-school siblings graduated last night from
8th grade. They had a half day today.

The script...(NOTE:This is based on real and actual events
that occured in the Silvis household, on June 18, 2001, as
told by Jessica. THIS IS NOT A DRAMATIZATION.)

5. *JESSICA is sleeping peacefully in her basement bedroom
when
she hears a banging outside her door. Assuming someone is
trying to wake her up, she says...*

6. Jessica: I'm up!

*When the banging continues, she repeats, louder...*

7. Jessica: I'M UP!!

8. *Still the banging continues. Realizing now that the
doorbell is ringing simultaneously, she concludes that her
brother and sister must be home from their last day of
school. Now she must get up and open the doors for them.*

9. *JESSICA walks up the stairs to the front door and throws
the deadbolt, then heads back downstairs to open the garage
door. Her sister, KIM, yells...*

10. Kim: JESSICA! UNLOCK THE DOOR!

11. Jessica: KIM! OPEN THE DOOR!

12. *The front door opens, and KIM yells...*

13. Kim: JESSICA! WHY DIDN'T YOU OPEN THE DOOR?!

14. Jessica: I WAS ASLEEP!

15. Kim: YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT YOU COULDN'T HEAR US
BANGING
ON THE DOORS?!

16. Jessica: NO, ACTUALLY, I COULDN'T!!

17. *JESSICA walks to the garage door, unlocks it, and opens
it,
to find that there is nobody there.*

18. Jessica: *Grumbles to self*

19. Kim: JESSICA, YOU'RE NOT DEAF! YOU DON'T NEED A HEARING
AID!
YOU'RE ONLY FIFTEEN!

20. Jessica: *Grumbles to self* Yeah, whatever, I'm not the
one
who didn't have my keys...

21. *JESSICA grabs some clothes from her drawers and her
towel
off her door and goes upstairs to take a shower.*
*****
22. *After her shower, she decides to put her pajamas back
on,
and does so, then goes upstairs into the kitchen to make
breakfast.*

23. Jessica (To KIM): Why didn't you have your keys? *Takes
Pop-Tarts out of cabinet and throws a package onto the
counter.*

24. Kim: I slept at Sarah's last night so I didn't have my
keys.

25. Jessica: *Throws Pop-Tarts onto a plate, puts them in
the
microwave and slams the door, puts timer on.* Then why
didn't Geoff have his keys?

26. Kim: I don't know, I'm not Geoffrey! Why were you
asleep?

27. Jessica: It's what most people do during the night.
*Goes
back to the keys issue.* Why didn't either of you two have
your keys? You're fourteen years old; I think you can
handle that much responsibility.

28. Kim: OK, don't talk about not having your keys, because
all
of last year, yeah.

29. *During the school year, if JESSICA had a lot of stuff
to
carry home and couldn't reach her keys, she would ring the
doorbell instead of trying to balance everything and risk
dropping it all over the place, which KIM took as a personal
insult that JESSICA would ask for help.*

03. Jessica: Actually, I never forgot my keys. They were in
my
PURSE.

31. Kim: Yeah, whatever. *In her I'm-so-cool,
I'm-better-than-you-because-I'm-going-to-be-a-freshman-and-
you-aren't-cool-because-you-are-only-two-months-away-from-
your-learner's-permit mode*

32. The above scenes are based on real and actual events
that
occured in the Silvis household on June 18, 2001, between
the hours of about 11:30 AM and 12:00 PM, as best recalled
by JESSICA. All lines and actions have been reported as
accurately as possible.

END

lol I get my biggest laughs from her.

Take Lines 24 - 26. Now, duh - Would I know why Geoffrey
didn't have his key. yes, we may be twins, but I'm not a
mind reader. (Though that would be cool!)

And check out Lines 29 - 31. Umm.. well, Jessica - I see your point about not wanting to drop all of your sutff, but we have these
stairs that you can put stuff on. They're really convenient for times like those. And I didn't really think she had a lot to carry home,
since she keeps all of her textbooks at home and bring this purse that really is the size of a small suitcase. (no joke here)

And about Line 32. About the whole learner's permit - I am also going to get my permit. Not as soon as you, but I will. Besides, driving
isn't as cool as everyone makes it look. I don't think my sister knows this, but I'm not really jealous of her getting her learner's permit.
I mean, why would I? She's going to drive me around to dance and stuff - how can that be bad? :-)

Another thing about Line 32 - Jessi made this big deal about "I'm-better-than-you-because-I'm-going-to-be-a-freshman" but, uh, correct
me if I'm wrong, but she seems to think that a majority of the freshmen going into the high school are very cute and very talented
dancers... so.... isn't being a freshman better? I mean, I'm sorry, but no freshman that she *likes* would, in their right mind, go out
with my sister, or even like her for that matter, seeing as she is horrifingly tall ( 5 9' or so..), dresses like a scrub (I know she going to
complain about how she can't control it because of her back brace, but please. She could get overalls, or nice sweatshirts), and is, I'm
sorry no say, not the prettiest flower in the bouquet. More like a dying dandelion....

Feedbak is welcome! I don't care if it's mean or nice... If it's good, then I'll read it. If it's dumb, then I won't!
