A Good Idea

It's always a good idea to blog when you're feeling lonely regarding the theatre.

I want to see Wicked even more now.

SHONA WHITE WE LOVE YOU!

And Kerry!!! So loyal :'] That is why you are The Wonder That Is!

Might be going tomorrow! YAY!

So I can educate Nick. (joycough). An excuse for me to go.

Hurry up and pay me please Ray Knight.

Also wanting cheap ticket for Av Q. Having cravings for that also.

Left At The Alter

I actually went to see Avenue Q on the night of 20th July.

What a great night.

But my fiancée DIDN'T TURN UP. Men. I forgive him!!!! Clearly!!!! It's Simon Lipkin, how can you NOT forgive the one God that is Simon Lipkin!?!?! However, his understudy was BLOODY GOOD. Wooop for Chris! Who had a coffee :D

*ehem*

We went to Bella Italia. Oh yes we did!

We sat next to the top of the stairs, and ordered food.

However, during the sumptuously delicious dish known as dessert (Godfather part II haha!) I bashed my funny bone on the bannister. Again. For the third time!

And that's when the world slowed down... everything happened in

s - l - o - w m - o - t - i - o - n

...

The spoon JUMPED off of the table, and clanked ALL THE WAY DOWN the stairs. Everytime I opened my eyes to see if it had stopped...

*clank clank CLANK*

....now?

*CLLLAAAANNNKKKK*

....surely NOW?

*CLANK CLANKETY CLANK* ... *clank*.

...

*silence*

...

*wind whistles through the trees*

...

*Mummy tumbleweed, followed by baby tumbleweed*

...

*Daddy tumbleweed*

me (including rest of resturant): :I

And that was that! Hahaha. In graphic detail. Exactly as it was!

What a PAT day! Thanks soooo much.

WE LOVE AV Q CAST INCLUDING CLARE EVEN THOUGH YOU AREN'T IN IT ANYMORE!!!

Oh look what's this? A blog?

Wow... haven't blogged in a while!

Just to warn you now... I am leaving the computer in approximately 8 minutes to go and watch something I haven't watched in about... 8 years.

COW AND CHICKEN!

Good old Cartoon Network!

Anyway!

I bet you didn't know that I am actually lying underneath a bed right now. Haha!

And OHMYGOD TWICEINONEDAY!

I'm not saying anymore incase 'it' hacks onto this. She plays dumb, but she knows these things.

Van Strander came to the rescue on Saturday during our surprise audition from Kevin. THE Kevin. Ah well, worked, because I got the part! Go VS!

hmm update update...

Oh YES me and Sinead spent 3 and a half hours travelling, £14, miles of walking to and from, up and down, and along and about 10 trains and 2 buses just to get to our WWRY readthrough! I'm so glad we went though. Was amazing to hear everybody just jumping straight into the songs!

*All we hear is *clapclap* Radio GaGa *clapclap* hehe :]

5 mins to Cow and Chicken.

Here's some maths, see if you can work out the answers:

Builder - Staircase = ?

Gower + Her picking our groups for us = ?

Stressy people + stressy people = ?

Answers are at the bottom of the sheet.

3 mins til Cow and Chicken.

SIMON I LOVE YOU :]

Drama was fun on saturday!

BICEPS NOW KILL. Ta Beckie. Really, ta!

Went a bit like this...

(2 mins til Cow and Chicken)

Us holding Amber: OK this isn't too bad...

Beckie: Right just hold her there where I work out where to place everyone

Us (thinking): Are you JOKING?! There must be over a thousand of them!!!

Beckie: Hmmm....

Us: ArRrGgGhHh hurry up (pained smiles) <:)

Beckie: Hmm.. Shira you come and stand here...

Us: Seriously, Beckie, can we put her down now?

Beckie: Actually no, Shira, you stand here...

Us: BECKIE

Beckie: OK good stay there, Molly...

Us: Beckie my arm is STARTING TO CRAMP

Beckie: Right Molly you stand there pretending to hold Amber up

Us: PRETEND?! *gasping for oxygen* Can we put her dowwwn noooow arararghghgh?!

Beckie: No not yet (evil cute smile) ^-^

Us: Well (severe bicep cramps taking place) ... we're putting her down!

OMG ITS 22:02 IM MISSING COW AND CHICKEN!

OK back. Was boring.

Beckie: Hold her there for just 2 more seconds...

Us: *drop* OH MY GOD MY ARMSSSSSS

Hahaha! Was rather funny.

And DAMN YOU the people who upset Carlyss! Show some respect PLEASE! Don't ever make her lie on the green mats again. Understood? Never again.

And in the words of Beckie:

Beckie: *blah blah blah*...I'm not going to name any names, but if you do that again, I will be VERY angry. ESPECIALLY when I'm not here to shout at you. And THEN I'll be naming names.

more to come!

You Broke Her Heart: She Thinks It's a Joke

This stranger says to you

'You broke my heart in two

And she sees you down on your knees

'Now if you don't mind

You're wasting my time

Can I have the other half back please?

You dig in your pocket

And pull out a locket

And break the item in two

'One half for me

And as you can see

The other half is for you

She laughs in disgrace

Throws it back in your face

And says 'You got anything better?

'Oh wait let me see

Oh here! Half a toffee

And from you a crumpled up letter

She tried not to care

But you noticed her glare

At the remnants of paper before her

You scramble to your feet

Notice as your eyes meet

In her eye a tear forms in the corner

'Honey, we're not quite through

The only reason I left you

Was to find the appropriate words

'I wasn't out all night

As you put it, 'all in spite

Or even out with the birds

She sees past you wanting more
Throws your bags out of the door
And asks 'Can you please leave my life?

Honey, I thought you were smart!

On one knee, and with my whole heart

...will you please be my wife?

~xx~

A poem I wrote on the spur of the moment. It's about a man who leaves his wife for a couple of days to have an engagement ring made for her, but she thinks he is cheating on her.

Quite Cute

^-^

Well done girls!

Just a huuuuuge well done for two of my favourite people in the whole world for working so hard for the auditions and giving it all they had!

Well done for being the people you are

*Make me smile!*

Like this: :o)

Life is Such a Rollercoaster - but I love rollercoasters!

Couldn't rise or fall much more than it has done these past couple of months!

Ultra-lows to Ultra-highs. Where is the logic?!

Dear Mr.Highly Technical Online Diary, aka The Blog Friday 15th June 2007

Had rather a weird day! Woke up in a foul mood. Remained that way until lunch.

Was over Lucie's with Sinead ... and obviously Lucie... and, yes, I'd left it to last minute - AGAIN - but we were learning WWRY songwords! I'm still megaly pissed off that I haven't physically been able to learn any understudy parts all week because of the frikkin compuer getting SWITCHED OFF EVERY 10 MINUTES BECAUSE OF THE STUPID BUILDER WHO IS KNOWN TO THE WORLD AS ALF. Great. Thanks a lot. And yep, haven't really had the time or anything but I'm still pissed off at this fact! GRRR!

Congrats to my two *AMAZINGLY*FABULOUS* stars who go by the name of Lucie (PAT!) and Sinead (SINED!) who did really really well and did their audition justice and gave it all they had. I'm proud of you two!

Phonecall tomorrow, phonecall tomorrow...

Shit.

Phonecall TODAY, Phonecall TODAY....

ArRrRrGgGgHhHh! If I don't get in I will be VERY angry. Because there weren't many people there!!

Oh yeh. And I have a "bone" to pick with you, hip. [hahaha! Bone! geddit? ...No? Never mind then, I'll just be off... got to go, err, fry some grapes and... practice makeup on my dog.]

Talking of dog!!!

After sitting at the traffic lights for HALF AN HOUR (30 (yes, thirty) whole minutes)- no exaggeration, I got off the train at precisely 19:50.46 <--(seconds) and I was finally greeted by a rather disturbingly happy Dad at 20:20. I'm in shock.

Went it, Dad said "We've got a surprise for you" <-- I thought something was up, he was being too nice and happy on the phone all day, not to mention the hundred (well, 7) missed calls I had on my phone from him from when I was stuck at the level crossing. Although I disagree with the word 'crossing' in that noun phrase because NOBODY WAS CROSSING BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T PUT THE BARRIER UP!

Back to the story - so I shut my eyes like I was asked (..I was asked to shut my eyes by the way, forgot that tiny significant detail that makes all the difference to the story) and before they could say, I heard a whimper from the next room. The next few seconds when a bit like this...

".............IS THAT A DOG?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

*Runs extravegantly into the next room to find it holding this adorable little puppy*

Doggie doggie is soooooo cute!

Oscar, black and white cross between a Collie and a Beagle and he's only 10 weeks old! Not meant to go outside but - we let him on the patio :']

Adorable. Last thing I was expecting!!

He's already got nicknames. I call him Oscy, Oisky and Oyster heehehe :D

He's just all cuuuute and cuuuute and full of squishy stuff known as CUTENESS!!

That's my blog :]

TaTaForNow!

Officially the Funniest Day of My Life

One fine/Short Day, I was just, yknow, taking a stroll into the office - Mum's back office to be precise - dumped my stuff on the chair, took of my jacket and sighed as I awaited my dreaded task --- copywriting. Exactly as it says on the label, except I had strict and difficult instructions to follow:

1) Make sure your eyes line up with the words on the paper
2) Read the text, eliminating the edited-out words and making subsequent changes to the text
3) Do all of the above, but on word, saving as you go along.
4) GOOGLE.

OKok, number 4 is a dirty lie and was not on my non-existent list of instructions, but it happened anyway.

So there I was, typing up a load of really random contract stuff and WOOPS
...
...
...
GOOGLE.

[that's what happened. my fingers couldn't stop themselves]

[...seriously.]

And I consequently stumbled across PAT's blog.

Good Lord. That was a mistake. The 16 pages of copywriting I had to do would've taken me 2 hours [NOT 4 AND A HALF] if I hadn't Googled. Damn the Bad Idea Bears. Yet LOVE them at the same time!!!!

And this was officially THE funniest blog I had ever read in my lifetime. All of PAT's blogs are funny. But this one crossed the line.

I was uncontrolably laughing at something I had already done and was merely looking back upon through somebody's blog. I was alone in this office, crying endless tears and giggling non-stop!

God knows what the people in the front office thought of me... they must have thought I was completely insane. There was no doubt that they heard me.

Then I thought I have to actually prove that I found it frikkin hilarious, so I gave PAT friendly phone call :]

Not that there was much point, I was laughing so much I couldn't get my words out and I was literally banging my head on the desk in laughter.

The bits that absolutely C-R-A-C-K-E-D me up:

Me: Right...Blood brothers...Blood brothers... *opens up internet window to get notes form my email*

PAT: *sitting next to me* WHY DOESN'T SIMON LIPKIN HAVE A WEBSITE????

Me: what???? *GOOGLES!!!!* HE DOESN'T?!?!?!?!

*half an hour searching later*

Me/PAT: Awww, that's a shame.

PAT: Ok, KT, KT, KT...*types a few words*

Me: *has accidentally slipped onto GOOGLE IMAGES* wow Jon's cute. Awww look at them...awww its Simon and Jon...

PAT: *slidy chair sliding across* SIMON????

>> I was wetting myself by this point <<

Me: Blood Brothers...hmmm...Blood Brothers...

PAT: I wonder what his birthday is???? *has accidentally slipped onto Google*

Me: He must have one...*searches* Oooooh...*slips onto Paint mixed with a KT photograph of PAT and I and of course, Google Images*

*half an hour later, we've printed off more photos, including one of us merged into a photo with them*

Us: *giggling*

PAT: Seriously, KT, KT, KT...

Me: *sliding across the room on my chair* WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Not to mention THE REST of the blog. Every sentence, i couldn't breathe.

ENJOY!!
