I LOVE this play! It was so funny! (I played James in the practice performence
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ONLY DID THE BEGINNING!!! IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FUNNIER IF THEY HAD PERFORMED THE WHOLE THING!!! (It would have probably been 2 hours long though...
I give it... :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: 5 thumbs up!!!
I didn't delete that because it has comments in it.
Yer! Meanie! *cries more*
you made a girl cry! O.O
While you're at it can you delete You know adn You know... that wsa like the lsat scene of my play...
Y'know, usually I'd object to that comment. But for once...you're right. Slag me off.
By the way, your play seems quite realistic.
well bloody take it up with firestarter then.. he was blind and he deleted it... tell him to give u 2000 points so you'll feel better lol
Its your fault TBR that my scary mary story got deleted and it wont come back!
*cries*
Lookin' good Rose, glad to see you broke up that impossibly ong post from before...
I have deleted the rest of them. Please do not clog up the board with unnecessary topics. If of course, I have deleted some of the wrongs, sorry. But it was horrendous how many topics you posted. I assume you have them saved on your computer, so as none of the ones I deleted had any comments, it doesn't matter.
Well obviously I got the impression that my first one is a waste of space and therefore nobody read it because it was long as well... I'm breaking it dwn to bits as to not scare you.
Good but one thing....
YOU ALREADY SENT IT, DELETE IT NOW! A WASTE OF SPACE IF IT IS ALREADY UP THERE.
Sorry, but I dont like it when they take sooooo much room.
