I wanted to write something about Charlotte and I thought maybe this could be performed either by standing on stage while Charlotte is miming something or maybe it could be said as a duo-log (if there was another piece of writing about her but maybe from one of her family members?) or even as a voiceover. Please have a read and let me know what you think about it.
Charlotte
This
is Charlotte and she is my best friend. We love to laugh about stupid, silly,
little things and we always look ridiculous when laughing. We both find it
humorous as we think we look like seals when laughing as we flap our arms
around and sometimes clap in between while howling in fits of laughter – and
that’s when you know we cant stop because we can laugh about something for ages
and not get tired of it. Sometimes when we are having a convocation one of us
sparks up a time when we did something bizarre and that keep us entertained for
the rest of the day, or week, or month or the whole year. Charlotte is one of
those people that no matter what you may be feeling she will always make you
smile by singing a Disney melody or doing impressions from a movie or even
mimicking what you are doing, which never fails to put a smile on my face.
I
don’t think I will ever forget the times Charlotte says on a numerous occasions
of how she thinks things work and how she explains it in such a fun, imaginative
way which makes us all think “why is it not done that way?”. While she does
this there is something all of our class have noticed she does, the ‘Charlotte
arms’. A movement of the arms: she brings her hand to her shoulder and is one
slick quick movement her arm is extended with the palms of her hand facing
upwards. She is a fun, bubbly girl with loads of energy and there’s not one
thing I would change about her. Of course we talk about girly things as well,
but we cant tell you that sssshhhh but we love to reminisce about or game of
Snapchat hide and seek, still laugh at “I didn’t even twist my Oreo!” and
recreate animal Vines. Personally I believe Charlotte can do the best animal
impressions like the monkey, turtle, lizard, the funny white fluffy fox (which
to us looks like Yoda) as well as the lama but the best impression she does is
the meerkat as it never fails to crack us up! Because we do drama together I
think in everything we do is over exaggerated so we sing “I will always love
you” but change it to “I will always love food” but with a twist of trying and
I mean trying to sing it in a deep mans voice, its pretty funny. She’s a lover
of songs from all different genres and years but she has a thing for musicals
especially Wicked and together we don’t just sing – we perform all the songs
like we are standing up on stage in fount of hundreds of people with all the
moves and facial expressions with a huge round of applause at the end.
Charlotte
and I call ourselves ‘Homepeas’ – don’t ask why it’s just our thing – but we
always say it to greet each other and my day wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t
talk from the moment we both woke up to the moment we Snapchat saying
“goodnight”. Charlotte and I have a bond that I don’t think anyone will fully
understand, we talk, sing, giggle, eat, walk funny together and we don’t care
if anyone looks at us weirdly now when we sing at inappropriate times or dance
oddly around UNI. I think it’s a good thing to feel that with someone who
shares the same feeling because you can be crazily mad with that person to
become a pair of extraordinary, curious, fantastic, bubbly beings.
Urban Dictionary: Charlotte;

Usually have great smiles. The girl that all the guys are secretly in love with. Said to be very good in bed. Charlottes are fun-loving and enjoy being around people. Loves to party but is very chill, most Charlottes are not wild and crazy. They have a good sense of the world around them and love their family and friends. Anybody would be lucky to have a Charlotte in their life.
Guy 1: Yo, man, that girl is a Charlotte.
Guy 2: Damn, your right, I wish she would notice me.
Guy 2: Damn, your right, I wish she would notice me.
