read this and tell if me it's too ridiculous

[gozf]

I have to submit my biography for the playbill. I'm not really an actor, so I have a lot of space to fill. Is this too absurd, or is it ok?

GOZF (Renee) is thrilled to return to XXXTheatre after appearing in the ensemble of The Rocky Horror Show. Before that, she hadn’t graced a stage since 1996. Ancient credits include Pippin, Grease, Bye-Bye Birdie, Gounod’s Faust, and Hero in A Midsummer Night’s Dream – which was actually an AP English project in high school, but really should count, since she learned lines, fainted on cue, and performed in front of an auditorium full of people. She thanks Annabelle for the almost unconditional love and support.

Annabelle is my cat, btw.

I would be amused reading that in the program.

[litebright]

I think it's perfect.

(I was a theater minor in college and very occasionally do improv, if that counts for anything!)

I like it. It's funny.

It makes you look like a lesbo.

But does it make me look like a triceratops?

[underwaterrhymes]

It's perfect.

I too would assume Annabelle was your partner. lol. Couple that with the girl-on-girl kissing and I might try to hit on you at the stage door afterwards.

Should I specify that Annabelle is my cat, then?

[underwaterrhymes]

No, don't specify who Annabelle is. It's more awesome the way that it is.

[scotty]

I think it's great as is.

EDITED PAST SENTENCE:

She thanks Annabelle, her cat, for the almost unconditional love, and for not tiring of helping her run monologues.

[iamgrace]

It's good

I'd probably just add the "her cat" and leave the "almost unconditional love and support." After that it gets kind of wordy, and it's funnier to end on the bit about support from a cat. IMO.

[gozf]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I don't care if I'm taken for a lesbo. I'm just trying to figure out which was is funnier.

[underwaterrhymes]

I liked it better before! It gives you a better story to tell if people ask you who Annabelle is.

[hubes]

It would be better with a dinosaur reference.

But I like it.

the first version is so you. Keep it! Are you inviting the nestards to see you this time???

[cheesierthanchedda]

If anyone asks about Annabell, you should answer like the MadTV skit: "Cici ith my cat." :blank stare:

I am, I am!

[bcv513]

I like the first version. Keep the mystery of who Annabel is.

[Jalapeñomel]

It looks good.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

You're basically just cementing my creepy girlcrush on you. Well done.

[Deleted]

I think it's hilarious. I'd take the "AP" off regarding the English project.

[mamasaurus]

I'd chop the ap english part, but other than that, :Y: .

The original is perfect. And I'd totally come to see it!
