nothin' much

i didn't do much of anything today. after running around so much yesterday, i just chilled and relaxed and talked to friends all afternoon via the wonderful world of the internet. :D i really did nothing much of anything today (if that made any sense at all). so, in light of that, i'm going to post a really short (and really stupid) skit that i wrote earlier today. cheers. it's called The Substitute. it has no plot whatsoever; it's only a page long; and it's just really stupid.

Stage: Four chairs in rows of two. “Desk” in front of chairs. GASKINS on set in front of chairs. Rest of cast comes on, laughing/joking/etc. and sits down in the four chairs.
JACOB: (to ABBY) Looks like we have a sub today.
GASKINS: (raps his knuckles on desk)
Everyone looks up
GASKINS: His name is Mr. Gaskins. (points to self while saying this) He wants to know their names. (points at them)
Class looks at him oddly.
STELLA: Why are you talking in the third person?
GASKINS: (points at them) Names?
ABBY: He wants us to tell him our names.
NATALIE: Oh. I’m Natalie.
ABBY: I’m Abby.
JACOB: Jacob.
STELLA: And I’m Stella.
GASKINS: Good! Now, he wants them to open their books to page 45.
STELLA: (aside to rest of class while getting out book) Why do you think he keeps talking in the third person?
JACOB: Not sure. He sure isn’t an English teacher.
By this time, all four students have out their math books.
GASKINS: No! He does not want them to get out their math books; he wants them to get out their English books!
All look at JACOB.
JACOB: What?
NATALIE: (rolling eyes) Get out your English book.

like i said - really short and really stupid. oh well...i suppose it could be worse. (well, actually, i don't know that it could be...it's really bad right now as it is.) anyway, good night!
