I CAN'T SEE!!!....

Today was fun. I thouroughly enjoyed blocking today because I got to be all over the place. fuuuuuunnnn. I want to apologize for missing my cue today [[I promise I'll hit it on the head tomorrow]]. It wasn't my fault! I literally had my ear glued to the door trying to hear the last line, but there was so much noise behind me I missed the second part of the last Richard line. I ended up bursting out of the door, and my page decided to jump out of my hands. Ooops. Buuuut on the other hand, I pronounced admiral correctly. :)

I am Elizabeth. I am the daughter of Queen Elizabeth, with whom I have a strong connection with. I am young, and naive in certain respects, but understanding and acquiescent when it comes to safety. I am worried for my life and the lifes of the people I care about. I care greatly about my mother. I detest Richard and his flunkies.I am in a dangerous place. I am in a dark, creepy castle. I am in the Queen's faction. Later on in the play, I am in Richard's scheme and therefore I am in danger. At the end, I am in France or at least on my way to France. In the beginning, I believe I am in England. I almost want to say that it is winter, but my head keeps telling me that winter is only used metaphorically speaking. It's a time of death and downfall. A time of unhappiness and despairity. A time when all hope is lost. It's 2009...A time when you don't know who to trust. My mother's protection surrounds me. Rivers, and Vaughan surround me as a part of the queen's faction. Death surrounds me. Dark, intimidating walls build the castle around me. Saddness, and fear wrap their arms around me.The given circumstances are these: My step-dad has been made King, after the death of poor Henry VI. Edward, however, is sick, and could, at any minute, die. My uncle Clarence has just been imprisoned. My relationship with my mother is close. I'm like a bird who hasn't learned to fly quite yet. I don't have a close relationship with my step-father. He's, in a way, just there. I thinkI am definitley more relaxed around my mother and everyone but whenever someone I don't like (Richard && Friends) comes along, I am more guarded and upright. They are like a bad smell. The castle is foreign to me and altogether, creepy, so I'm not as relaxed, for example, when I'm sitting by the throne. I want to be as far away from Richard [[&&friends]] as possible. I want to escape his cold grasp. I also don't want to see my mother hurt. However, Richard [[&&friends]] keep showing up and scheming. My mother is constantly getting hurt and whatnot. I try to comfort my mother with kind, encouraging words. I try to keep her from worrying [following orders and running away]
