So uh, sorry guys if I'm not around for about a week-ish. I'm a stupid procrastinator and I have a bunch of stuff due soon. 
(WHY would someone write a book about a bunch of dead men arguing over the US Constitution and sell it for $16.95?!

)Aww, I was wondering where you'd gone. 
Ah, I took an english comp class last month, so I feel your pain. I didn't really like the book they made us read, but I can see why they'd make us read it. 
Had to write too many essays on weird topics though.
Had to write too many essays on weird topics though.I have summer homework, but my school year doesn't start up again until September, and the homework specifically says not to start until just a few weeks before school. 
See, this particular piece of homework is due Friday (which is in the middle of the summer). School is still weeks away, but my stupid teacher has to have it now.
Don't EVER read Miracle at Philadelphia. Especially when you're itching to read the new Harry Potter book. I won't be able to read it until I finish three other books too.

Ouch. 
Vix.
What sort of barbaric teacher is this? Doesn't s/he have a life rather than read over next year's students homeworks in the middle of summer? That's rather absurd.

oh, and here I thought we were talking about college..
A teacher would be insane to give my class homework over the summer and actually expect us to do it.

I feel for ya, I always hated summer work (especially AP stuff).
Now that I've joined the "Real world", this is the first time I don't have a summer break. It's wierd having everyone's play hours change, heh...

Importance of Being Earnest is friggin' hysterical. Read it. It's awesome. It's so confusing, yet so awesome.
And the main character falls in love with his cousin. And gets married. See?

Because I'm supposed to be working on these articles I ripped out of my Smithsonian magazine and don't want to get distracted (even though I'm browsing the forums).

Great, thanks for the spoiler. And about the Importance of Being Earnest, that's what the Book-A-Million guy said too.

Please, there's about seven main characters, and you'll never know which one I'm talking about.

I got to the second page and the guy says he has a cousin. That better not be the guy...

A fair hint. About everyone is related. Your main characters from the beginning are Earnest, a well-to-do man found in a suitcase at a train station. His best friend is the evil, corrupt Algy, who has the psuedo-alias of Bunsburry. He often takes up this false name and travels away from the city, essentially living double-lives.
As does Earnest, who is Jack in the country, Earnest in the city. Jack has a niece out in the country, who is taken care of by Miss Prism. Earnest is in love with Algy's cousin.
Needlessly said, things get messy, and quite a few people find love. It actually reminds me a little of the Delport quest - at least, the style of humor and all.

Wow, this was the shortest play ever written. Anyways, rather surprising. And the guy's name is Ernest, not Earnest.
(I didn't think it was that funny; I chuckled a few times, but it wasn't hysterical laughter.)
