Remember a few weeks ago when I made that post about the Formspring issue?
Well, I've realized that when issues arise and there's nothing I can do to change them, I feel better when I blog because maybe the people I want to have read this will, and they'll process it.
Today, it's drama. Yep, that suckish stuff stuffed right into what should be the best club in school.
Around half of the people who auditioned got cut: TRUE
A Freshman got a lead: TRUE
Aforementioned Freshman is now destested by many: TRUE
Aforementioned Freshman ASKED for this: FALSE
Many feel screwed over: TRUE
Yes, getting cut sucks, I would know. But words have consequences. And, if you were talking shit about this poor girl, and I admit, I was upset that she got lucky enough to get a lead when I couldn't even make ensemble, then you should know, SHE knows what's been said. And it's been affecting her horribly.
Wanna see?

Go check that out. And if it doesn't show you that this girl is hurting, then you're the bitchy unreachable one. No human should have the power to make another hurt so badly that they want to "die"--even if that IS hyperbole, it takes alot to make someone break down like that. That, I would know as well.
Now, I'm sorry if you got cut/didn't get what you want. I really am. But, top quote somebody else:
"(She)'s been doing this for 35 years. She's not going to pick anyone who she doesn't feel will live up to the part they are given. No one was screwed over. You're either right for the part or you're not. Period. If seniors think they should get a part cause they're seniors, wrong again. Just look how it worked out. There's no business like show business. Welcome to the game. Sorry if I seem like a dick, but it's the blunt facts."
Truer words were never spoken. So, lick your wounds, stand up and face the music(al). It sucks that so many people didn't get the chance, but there's nothing else we can do about it. if you did get casted AT ALL then feel lucky to be where you are and quit bitching. It could be worse.
And apologize if you were nasty. I'll start: I'm sorry I was upset; casting is done a certain way for a reason. I'm sure everyone will do great as soon as grudges are pushed aside.
(I also DK why I'm keeping people anon. We all know who I'm talking about, who I'm quoting, and who "she" is. I'm just holding onto some respect. So be bro, dudes.)
*applause* THANK YOU, Kimmy.
