Look what I had to memorize for school...

It's the prologue to Romeo and Juliet:

Two households, both alike in dignity

In fair verona, where we lay our scene

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny

where civil blood make civil hands unclean

from forth the fatal loins of these two foes

a pair of star crossed lovers take their life

whose misadventured piteous overthrows

doth with their death bury their parents strife

the fearful passage of their death-marked love

and the continuance of their parents rage

which, but their childrens end, naught could remove

is now the two hours traffic of our stage,

the which if you with patient ears attend

what here shall miss our toil shall strive to mend

Yes, I wrote that just now by memory. :?

That's nothing.  I memorized this:

Tell me somthing, you've been to these company conventions before, Bob.  What's going on?  Everyone seems so...uptight.  I mean here we're all finally gettin' away, right?  Out of our offices, escaping the day-to-day nine-to-fives.  All that regimental crap is behind us, right?  Arrive here, the tropics, lush, green...picture perfect, 'sa picture perfect set up, right?  Am I right?  Paradise.  Networking dream....
Think of the possibilities, Bob.  A smorgasboard of opportunities here!  I mean, anybody who's anybody in this company's...

Okay, I don't feel like typing the rest...but that's about a fourth of it.  :P

meh, not too baddemon_turkey

It's pretty bad... We have to recite it in front of her for a grade.

I took Acting.  It was really fun, but the memorization is brutal.  :x  :P

Anyways, great job with the Prologue.  Is it for an assignment?

I remember having to memorize the "Out Out brief candle, life is but a walking shadow"...etc etc from McBeth or something. Wow, I am surprised I still remembered the beginning of that!  OMG!

 That's the lesson - prepare well and you'll do well.

Good skills!

Wow... that's it? I had to do Hamlet's "to be or not to be" soliloquy in Grade 12...

I memorized it... then never performed it... I was sad...
