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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

I didn't know they made my life into a film production. Tell your friend she better sport the mustache with respect and dignity.

to be honest, that sounds kind of amazing! but to each his own I guess...

@22 my part of the play is playing you. I need notes. Is the mustache constantly combed? I also need more insight on the hat.
enonymous 9
I Always have a stache comb on me. Just never confuse it with the one with the crabs on it. The hat must worn at a 93 degree angle. Aviator glasses at all times of day even in the shower, and a tattoo of a monkey jerking off a banana penis on my ass

Speaking of Doc, has anyone seen him lately?

How do we know you're a reliable source?

Doc is dead? Damn, what a shame. I guess that SuperSiphiherpilis finally caught up to him... I was actually going to build a shrine so I could worship Doc, but now that he's head, what's the point? *begins sobbing*
boomsl4ng 11
80 send the money u saved for the shrine to his address, thats what he would have wanted!! 500 cash should do it!! ;p

Great idea! Let's see, 5000 dollars in cash, two plane tickets to Mexico, eight pills to go to the matrix, that should be it, everything Doc would have wanted. TO THE POST OFFICE! *batman theme*

I'm wondering if she dislikes the elves, the fact that the creator of this play is playing the part of a god, or both.
metallicshadow 16
just don't show up?
brianjman14 23
Yeah, exactly. What are they gonna do? Kick you out of the club?

I don't know about OP, but I always feel wrong quitting, no matter what. She made a commitment. Plus, one time I had to drop out of a school play for medical reasons and my drama teacher was pissed- it makes you seem unreliable for future shows that aren't thought up by someone batshit insane, in OP's case. OP, I'd just tough it out if I were you. So maybe it's a shitty concept- you can still rock it.

It represents the chaos of a broken heart, and how it can be repaired through the help of a wacky host of space elves, singing and dancing gaily.

Sarcasm? Hopefully... Mary Sues are annoying :S.
