Costume Nazi Part 2

Being in costumes I am than in charge of dressing all those in the musical, we are doing Little Woman so this is in the Civil War time period, so I did research as to what kind of costumes to look for; to make; to take in or adjust. So now I know the time period fairly well... for those of you who don't know it really well, it’s not medieval or colonial or Victorian, [though it does share some similarities with Victorian it still is a different ball game]
Well my director The Bekanator, does not know time period... or really how to sew... or the impossibilities of sewing like if you’re a crappy seamstress [like myself] you really can’t make up a pattern on the fly, and you really can’t make 7 jackets in under a month... yeah so I had to enlighten her on the matter which made me seem worse than I actually am...

The Bekanator also does not respect me... I haven't the faintest why, I have always been nice to her and respectful... but you know whateverrr
But it just so happens that now she respects me... and it is through being the costume Nazi that it happened:

you see I would find costumes and get them approved and then work on them... pretty soon I had almost the entire cast costumed and all I needed were like 5 costumes [yet for almost being dons with works]
and it was hard to get to this point cut the director The Bekanator didn't approve anything that was time period... and infect told me that she wanted a dress to be more Victorian..... 0.0 WHAAAAAAAT????? To the costume Nazi this was most perplexing and hugely annoying...

well one day when most of the work was done, two ladies whom were supposed to be helping me from the beginning [who had only really been there once or twice before] came complaining of all the work they had done... yeeeeahh and than The Bekanator threw me under the bus criticizing all of the costumes I the costume Nazi had created/got ready, which annoyed me greatly... to the point where I actually got mad... I have not been mad in 6 years till this point...

and just as I had not been mad in 6 years I have never woken up annoyed or upset at someone... well I did and The Bekanator is whom the annoyance was targeted at... so I confronted her, in a polite and mature way... she rolled her eyes at me.... really, would you like to feel the wrath of the Costume Nazi???? ROAR

but I didn't I refrained myself... but later when I was in the costume shop and she came in the shop with me I was rude... like so rude... like oh my goodness I had never in my entire life talked to an adult that way...like of my flippin gosh I can’t believe I’m talking to an adult this way. Rude, which I am not exactly proud of.

but after than point of rudeness, The Bekanator respected me... which makes no sense... and in my time of rudeness I told her that the costume she wanted me to use was the wrong time era when she argued I told her to look it up and if she could present evidence of it being the right time period than I would use it... she than actually did some looking up on the inter-webs and didn't question me, though she still prefers the non-time period stuff better cuz she didn’t really look much up...

And that is how I started getting respected form the Bekanator, which is strange... I suppose that it would happen to me this way cuz I am that awkward....

And now the Costume Nazi is well pleased with the costumes that have been done yay

Costume Nazi Part 1

In recent times [as in right now] I am in charge of costuming my high schools musical "Little Women"

I am a theatre Geek, generally I am an actress, and when I do community theatre I generally get a good role, so when the auditions came up for little women, and I was offered a good role by a community theatre instead of my high school (which never gives me a descent role) I was greatly tempted to accept, however it being my senior year I wanted to do something with my school and I wanted to be all school spirity, thus I decided that I would do the School Musical, but I said I wouldn’t take a crappy role... so I didn’t get casted cuz, well, basically the directors an idiot and while I do love mooost of the cast there are still a few that well... pre-Madonna doesn't even begin cover...

Still I wanted to be involved in theatre I decided to Tech, and I can sew [not very well] but I do posses the skill. So I was like 'Hey I could do costumes :D' but I also decided to do a sport, so now I am in tennis and costuming, it makes me upset when I have to miss tennis which I have done a lot for the stupid costumes :(

But anyway back to the point of this post... you really should not piss off those who are costuming you because,
1-they could let you go naked and wouldn’t feel bad about it at all [trust me there is no guilt]
2- They could do a really bad job so you look like crap while everyone looks fine [teehee] {you can tell costumers favorite most times}
3- They can also kick you out of costume shop and talk to everyone in cast about how annoying you are and tell the story of how mean you were to them, and consequently get the cast mad/unhappy with you [works very well actually]

Even knowing this there are still some very rude people -.- one girl we'll call her "think I know better even though I’m stupid and know nothing" idiot for short.
Well idiot came in and supplied her own costumes which are great cuz that means less work for me yay!
Except than she got all huffy about a different girls costume... really? You’re not even wearing it... okay whatever
Then she asks if anyone here actually knew how to sew.... [Keep in mind I’m pinning some girls dress to take in] ....and than I make the announcement if you’re not trying on or directly involved in costumes you should leave... she didn't take the hint so that I blatantly told her to leave... she still didn't than our school's director came in, I grabbed her arm and told her I was about to rip Idiots hair out make her leave... she did nothing....

ROAR the costume Nazi was very much not pleased

But at least I had respect from the entire cast minus idiot, and the rest of the cast was vastly annoyed with her even though I did not say a word there were enough others in the room that it got around
which makes the costume Nazi pleased.

Soup....

To many people, Soup is something warm and tasty. Comforting and the little extra something that makes one feels better while sick.
However what most people do not realize. What their brains fail at doing.
is noticing the complexities of this "Soup" they gulp down without a second thought.

Though I, maybe it is due to my highly developed sense of what is right, or my super human intelligence, or possibly because I have no life and therefore have time to think of such things....
I realize that in fact, without a shadow of a doubt... that Soup is simply confusing and should not exist.
Now, hear me out, just because I just escaped from the loony bin doesn’t mean I don’t have some sense in me

But really, honestly think... what is soup? Its s liquid... that you eat? How is that possible? It’s like chewing water and calling it food, it just doesn't work.
I mean really, it’s a liquid so you drink it therefore it is not considered a food in my opinion.
Upon realizing my confusion I asked around to see how any of this works..

me- "how do you eat soup??"
person- "with a spoon" [gives me weird look]
me- "but with a spoon you still drink it, just in small mouth full’s but it’s still drinking... so how is that eating?"
person-".......well it has chunks in it that you have to chew..."
me-"your still drinking, there are dinks with things in it like ice, but you still don't consider that a food, do you?"
person- "... your an idiot"

After having several conversations such as these, I realized that everyone had been deeply tricked into thinking that Soup and all of its liquidness was a food..
I often stare at it and try to come up with some logical explanation for it...
But then realize that it is not my failings for coming up with an explanation; it is simply because there is none.

Soup is confusing, and should not exist.
End out story.
