Hey Phantasm!!! Our group name may not sound as easy and simple as Bevens, so nice to call, and it may not be the easiest to understand, but I truly truly believe we've come a long way since day 1. Remember the crappy freeze frames??? And the initial brainstorming all the non-hands-on, so boring???
But YO WE'VE COME UP WITH AN AT-LEAST DECENT PLAY that I really think is worth commendation. I'm definitely much closer to all of you and I really really really x1000000 think that our group is very dynamic like we have AV specialist and drama specialist and all you guys!!

I vote for 'feels like a friend' because it seems more innocent and somewhat childlike. ^^
Actually, I suggested only brought Phantasm up cause I stumbled upon it on dictionary.com and thought you guys might be interested in it as it is kind of like what Alice is like in a much cooler sounding word than imaginary friend, especially since she will now be holding on to a stuffed toy right? And its meaning there is more detailed in a way:

And its meaning there is more detailed in a way:
1. an apparition or specter.
2. a creation
of the imagination or fancy; fantasy.
3. a mental image or representation of a real
object.
4. an illusory likeness of something.
I found the above two paragraphs quite a while ago but neglected to put it up.
According to several theories of psychology, an understanding of a child's conversations with their imaginary friends can reveal a lot about the anxieties and fears of that child as well as the child's aspirations and perception of the world. Some children report that their "imaginary friends" manifest themselves physically and are indistinguishable from "real" people, while others say that they see their friends only in their heads.
A long-time popular misconception is that most children dismiss or forget the imaginary friend once they begin school and acquire 'real' friends. According to one study, by the age of seven, sixty-five
percent of children report that they have had an imaginary companion at some point in their lives. Some psychologists have suggested that children simply retain but stop speaking about imaginary friends, due to adult expectations and peer pressure. Children have reported creating or maintaining imaginary friends as pre-teens or teenagers, and very few adults report having imaginary friends. This may, however, signal a serious psychological disorder.
Based on my own childhood experiences however, I created many imaginary friends. ^^ But it was mostly for fun. I believe that many people often play 'make believe' when they were younger as well, creating alternate worlds with our imagination for our own entertainment. But when I grew out of my imaginary friend period, I started talking to inanimate objects for a period of time as a way to release some emotions before thinking how ridiculous I was being and switched to the most common way of expressing our feelings this feel days: through blogs. But now I express it through my fanfiction I write. :D
Huggles, Calista (:
Group name/ title?
/ 2:38 AM
As for now, Joy suggested
PHANTASM for our group name.
And then lois suggested "Feels like a Friend" for play title.
And Shuhui suggested we change it to "Fate is no Friend" since fate plays a big part in our play.
I vote for Fate is no Friend.
Can we discuss this in sch?

Rehearsal hours
Sunday, September 20, 2009 / 8:37 PM
Yea so just to log it down, I think we've had at least 8 hours of rehearsals!! :D
1h during the sept hols wednesday, 2 hours on saturday from 8.45am to 10.45am, 2 whitespaces (about 2h 40 min), plus drama lessons.
Jiayou team, assessment in 2 days.
Anyway, please remember for the ahma heart attack scene, wait for the "Good luck, Poppy~" thing first.
And for the blackout in the middle of the play. It will be:
Alice: The Wonders of Fate -black out immediately-
Alice throws the ball
Alice starts humming
Alex's light goes on.
Yay,
Chermaine
