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!!

All Over :(

The shows are over!

Was freakin' hard work. But did love them! I was shitting myself Friday. Well, not so much shiting myself but just freaking out because I didn't want to get it wrong and put all of the unwanted attention on me!

But I didn't get it wrong and actually, after Friday, didn't even think about what I was doing onstage just sort of got out there and did it, and really enjoyed it!

Quick change was hilarious with a capital PAT!

Me: *runs offstage to Angy to get out of costume and into another* Alex: *beckoning me over* Charlotte Charlotte Charlotte Charlotte Charlotte!! Me: *frantically stripping* Alex: Don't worry you've got pleeeenty of time, yo9u're not on for ageeees yet Me: *Still frantically stripping* Alex: Quick quick quick quick quick! ...Don't worry don't panic you've got ages yet, don't worry.... quick quick quick quick quick!

I was pissing myself! Haha so funny :']

Got some good piccies back in the teenytiny changing room that we had to squish about 12 people in! Probably more as it happens.
Terry you make me LAUGH! And Marv I haven't known you for long but it will be soooo strange without you! :(

Congrats to everyone in the show!

And ESPECIALLY everyone in the Irish Ballet and Tap. Me and Angy were mesmorised... we ran to the catwalks everytime it was on, and even got the priviledge to see it from both sides!

Amazing, was visually astounding!

And thanks Alex for giving us a lift home!

Was a lot of fun

Now... back to technique work!

xXx

Dear Friend

..You are invited to Lucie Nash/Jon Robyns and Charlie Taylor/Simon Lipkin's DOUBLE wedding! Entry requirement = beer. And possibly an Av Q ticket!

They're proposing to us onstage :D

WE <3 ROBYNS & LIPKIN!

~X~

It makes me sick...

...how people think everything is OK because I have material possessions.
I hate my family. Especially Nick.

Neverland

What a day! Didn't get any sleep last night at all, and went to drama running off of adrenalin! Was invited by Beckie to go see Wicked with her and Michelle! Now how can I pass up an offer like that?! Two people I love to pieces - wouldn't miss it for the world. I was explaining my dream to Michelle today (OK from now on Becky Lee is spelt with a Y and other Beckie is ie to avoid confusion!) and I explained how it was us theatretrain lot in the drama studio, except it wasn't the drama studio, and I had a male part... but I was dressed as Van Strander...

Then the conversation went a little bit like this!

Me: But I was dressed as Van Strander...

Becky: Van Strander?

Me: *confused* Yep...Brenda Bly?

Becky: Yeh I was in that!

Me: What?!

Becky: I played Van Strander.

Me: ME TOO! She's the best part

Becky: Yeh she definately is the best character I give you that.

haha! And she told me that apparently it's going to the West End! I'm there on opening night!!

What do you do (with a BA in English? - jokes haha!) when you feel sick and feel pretty shitty and really tired and got no company?

...You invite Yoshi over, that's what you do!

And then you have an amazing night filled with bread and butter, pot noodle, milk in moo mugs, Galaxy hot choccie and CAMERAS and you end up with a beautiful result...

Thanks Yoshi for a great night!

Well... it's not over yet!!

On a Brighter Note...

...at least I'm not on drugs.

Beautiful Disaster

What do you do when you are so upset about something that you are physically sick?

I see where people get their slice inspiration, but I wouldn't dare.

What do you do when you are so upset about something that you can't physically sleep?

In fact, you are so upset that you can't even bring yourself to put your head on the pillow, because that too is trying to suffocate you?

What do you do when you are so upset about something that you find yourself gasping for air and your tummy is cramping through trying to breathe properly?

I tell you what you do:

You write a letter, by hand, to your best friend on narrow lined paper, telling her exactly how you feel. And cry some more. Then you text one of your best friends, the one who you know will still be up, and then feel guilty for burdening her with all your problems. You finally turn the light out and turn off the power on the big brother crew to rest down your head at 4am and you see a strange blue light coming from the far window to the left. So, naturally, you get up and head over, and gaze outside at the hazy blue in the air, realising the sun is about to rise.

Then you get excited, open up all of the curtains and actually realise the true beauty of morning, and run downstairs, throw on some clothes and sprint outside, scared you might miss the sun rise.

You run to the end of the garden, the still morning air waking your senses as you reach the fence at the end, and slowly walk along it to find the perfect spot to watch the sun rise.

A photo opportunity, so you run indoors and grab the camera, and on the way in you notice the orange moon in it's full glorly gazing through a perfectly circular gap in the trees.

Snap.

So you take it a step further, and go to the road and gaze across the fields where the horses would be grazing if it were not 4.20am.

It could have been Australia.

Beautiful :]

And then I went indoors and made myself an omelette, with more mushrooms than you could imagine, and made myself a glass of milk. I like having no company, it's peaceful and quiet and nobody having a go. I watched the news. Some nature people wanted to save the newts. Amazing those newts.

So here I am, it's 5.27 and have officially 4 hours before I need to even contemplate leaving the house.

I still feel sick, now that I've come back indoors. Maybe I should go back outside again?

When I find my camera cable I will upload my pictures...

I hate all this shifting from one room to another. I can't find any of my stuff.

And Alf has cut off all of the power in the lounge, so I can't even play piano.

So what do you do now?

Sing. Simple as that.

And wait for 9.30 to come. Then get mad when 1.30 comes.

xXx

Hit It!

Hahaha! Who hit Christine's top note?!

...I did!

Yes, with difficulty and it probably was more of a screech...

but I did it

:)

And then I did it again. For clarity.
...Now I can't stop!

Wow. High notes are addictive!

Nobody believes me, but I dun' care because I did it ^-^
