Today, I joined my school's film-making club so I could get an opportunity to act in the club president's screenplays. It turns out her idea of a tragedy is a creepy, sci-fi version of Romeo and Juliet, with elves, starring her as the perfect Mary Sue style lead character. I can't get out of this. FML

Today, my school's theater production was canceled. Not because of budget, but because my co-star fell in love with me and asked me out. When I pointedly declined, he refused to act alongside me since it was "awkward." Everyone's blaming me for it. FML
Today, I was sent the script to a play I'm participating in at school. After reading it a couple of times, I noticed that my part has been forgotten completely. FML
Today, I auditioned for my school's production of Romeo and Juliet. When they announced that I got the part as Juliet, all the guys auditioning for Romeo suddenly disappeared. FML
Today, I showed up on set for a film that I booked a role in weeks ago. At the time of the audition, the script was being rewritten, so today I was so excited and eager to be told what my role would entail. When they handed me the script, my character was described as a fat, ugly, awkward girl. FML
Today, my school's theatre decided to produce Les Misérables. I got the part of Éponine. My boyfriend, being a talented performer, could have gotten any part he wanted. However, he only wanted to play the soldier responsible for killing Éponine. FML
Today, I auditioned for a part and made it because the director thought I would be "perfect" for the part and I was "just like the character in every way." The part is for a schizophrenic drug addict who everyone hates and is stabbed to death in the second scene. FML
Today, we had to do a scene from Romeo and Juliet. I was Romeo, and this really pretty girl was Juliet. When she found out she was with me, I heard her say "FML." FML
Today, my teacher told me I wasn't pretty enough to play the princess part in the play. FML
Today, I was trying out for a play I really wanted to be in. After my audition, I was feeling really good. She said she would post the cast list tomorrow. Not knowing where she would post it, I asked her. Her reply? "It doesn't matter. You won't be on it anyway." FML
Today, my family came to see me in my first acting role in Romeo and Juliet. It all went reasonably well for the first half hour or so, after which my seemingly shitfaced aunt started heckling and saying, "That's what she said" after every line, before eventually being thrown out by security. FML

It's like you did a horrific, modernized version of Romeo and Juliet. Where's Leo when you need him?

Speaking of DocBastard, has anyone seen him recently? He seems to be missing. I SHALL LEAD THE SEARCH PARTY! 22, I want you as my right hand man in this! I know a man with a mustache like that could survive in the wild, using your tracking skills to find Doc!

Sounds like the time my school did a post-apocalyptic version of Hamlet. The dialogue and characters were exactly the same, the only thing different was the costumes. Stupidest shit ever.

You can't be the only one feeling this way in the club. Revolt and bring her down! Then do a western version of Taming of the Shrew with prairie dogs!

Sci fi version of Romeo and Juliet would actually be kind of fun, but only if the parts were divvied up according to talent and ability and the prez didn't hog all of the spotlight herself.

It's a school club, not jail.....it's not exactly the hardest thing to get out of. If you don't want to be there, get up and leave.
