=The Taming Of The Shrew=

Act I, Scene ii
Hey guys. As you all know, my dad has passed away :( :( I really don't know what I'm going to do now. I've been thinking that maybe I should find myself a wife, you know? I guess we all have to settle down eventually, so I might as well just suck it up and do it now. I figure if I get some rich chick to fall for me, I can marry her -whoever she is- and tame her once she's mine. I'll have no worries, dude. It'll be sick. So today I went to see my man Hortensio in Padua. I knew he'd be able to hook me up. I guess he's real crazy about this girl, Bianca, but no one can go out with her until her sister finds someone first because of some stupid rule that their dad has. And apparently Bianca's sister, Kat, is a real witch and no one wants her. No one but me :) This is perfect. //-truch.//

Act II, Scene i
Yo peeps. I met my future wifey today. That Kate, she's a feisty one. And she'll be mine soon enough. We really got into it today..there was a lot of back and forth. I really showed her, though. I could tell that I was getting under her skin. I even eluded to the fact that I intend to marry her, one way or another. I don't know if she took me seriously. But she will. I am oh-so-very serious, my friends. I'm actually pretty sure that she's into me already :) I told Baptista (her dad) that she already agreed to marry me. You may think it crazy, but it worked! I said that we were planning our wedding for Sunday and at first she put up a fight. But I persisted, telling everyone that she just couldn't keep her hands off me. And then she just kept quiet. I'm not entirely sure what to think, but my plan just might actually work. -truch.

Act III, Scene ii
Today is the day I marry my Kate. But she's going to be more difficult to tame than I'd thought, so I've devised a plan: I'm going to show up late to the wedding..make her think that I'm not coming, right. And then when I finally arrive, I'll be dressed in ridiculous, obnoxious clothes. She'll be so upset. And then embarassed. But she'll be much more willing to submit to whatever foolish demands I may have once she's given up some of her pride. Well, I should be on my way. I'll let you know how my genius plan goes down. -truch out.

Act III, Scene iii
Not only did I follow through with the aforementioned plan, but I threw in even more embarrassment. First, I started swearing at the altar. And then I actually slapped the priest. There was also some tossing of food, among other things. I know I'm probably starting to sound like a real jerk, but this is all just a part of my plan. And there's much more to come. That's all for now. -truuuchhh.

Act IV, Scene i
Hello, unmarried peers. I'm happy with the way things are going. I don't think I'll have to keep up with this plan for very much longer. I was really mean to Kate after the wedding. She fell in the mud on the way home and I yelled at her for it. And then I yelled at my servants for pretty much everything. I just wanted to give her a dose of her own medicine.

Act IV, Scene iii
So Kate has had very little food or sleep over the past few days, which has been helping my plan along. Also, we had a tailor come today, and I took advantage of the opportunity to freak out over nothing again. That's really all that's been going down. But my Kate is turning into a wonderful wife. Hortensio didn't even believe that I could do it, so he came over to see for himself. Once again, I'm a genius, you guys. Truly a genius. Everything is going great for me.

-truchdaddio.
