jeepers. i kind of forgot to post anything for a while there. Well if you really want glasgow details you can go look at my sister's blog, it's all there. it was fun though. my family are insane.
after abandoning em in london and flying back here with the parentals i've been floating along rather contentedly. i of course made it back just in time for the amazing phenomenal night that was U2. i'm still basking in the glow. those kids really know how to put on a show. shannon and i got there at about 9.30, 10am, and sat in the baking sun alllll day but it was worth it cos we had an amazing spot. i'm still wondering why they had kanye west as supporting. i like kanye, he has some good songs, but kanye + U2 = not a good mesh...
UM i also got back into the swing of things at work, thrilling as always (speaking of work, i had to make the girls close the store at 12.30 today because of some massive power cut that has taken out all of hornsby!)
my best friend got engaged, but i'm fairly sure everyone knows that now!
i went to an awesome ep launch (yes derek, i'm plugging gallery again) - a very fun night, the guys had a ball, heaps of people came, it was fun times all round!
and i've hopped back on the audition circuit lately - on monday i had an audition for a short musical festival - it was the first time i had ever performed in front of avi since graduation (avi was my nida director) which was quite nerve-wracking, but she was actually quite nice! i never really know where i stand with her... there was no callback involved but that actually worked out for the best, seeing as i realised i'll be away for most of the season so couldn't have done it anyway!
tomorrow night i have an audition for a production of Into The Woods (some of you know it, all of you should love it) which is exciting, i'm not reallly prepared as i should be, because they've given me the audition material - normally i go into an audition with stuff i've picked myself, so if yu fluff a line they can't really call you on it, but these guys have given me the song and script i have to learn...uh oh.
i might go to that now!

i don't remember where i last got up to...
ok so we arrived in london friday morning, we saw we will rock you - kicked butt as always
saturday, there was shopping. bad idea, cos it was manically busy - not fun.
saturady night was evita - very cool, seeing as i didn't know it (shock! horror! i show i didn't know!), and even though we were late and missed the first 10 minutes, i still enjoyed it.
SUNDAY - big day - we went and had lunch with an old friend of dad's and his family, which was nice, we haven't seen them in 12 years or something ridiculous like that - we then went to see more family friends, which was really lovely, they are some of my favourite people, and mum's god-daughter was there with her little baby girl, who is seriously a miracle child, cos she's just turned 2, but she was born 16 weeks early, so she's been in and out of hospital her whole life, but she's walking around now and starting to talk, and she's so gorgeous and smart and happy, it was really wonderful to see her out of hospital and doing so well! that was a really long sentence.
monday we all split off and did our own thing, i met up with my friend Mark from RADA (yet another one) which was AWESOME, how i love that boy! we just sat in a pub for a couple of hours and talked about EVERYTHING, tv, shows, acting, god, relationships (he's engaged), family, shoes, everything! and then on the way out we encountered a very interesting french drag queen who was hopelessly lost!
monday night. oh my. now if you've been following along with my blogs you'l already know that i love Wicked. it is my favourite show ever. and i saw it for the 3rd time on monday night, except this time it had Idina Menzel in it, who played the original lead in it, and won the tony for it, she was in the original cast of rent, and basically i love her to pieces. to see her live on stage just blew me away. it made the whole trip.
i'm just going to take a minute to contemplate the amazing-ness of idina. feel free to join me.
ahh.
OK so this morning (tuesday) me and mum hit even More shops, then met em and dad at one of our favourite restaurants here, it's a little italian place called Sale e Pepe, and it's just gorgeous, all the staff are so eccentric, always singing and dropping things and yelling at each other at italian, and the food is just so so so good. i'm stuffed.
i am currently sitting alone in the hotel while the others continue to shop, then we're having a lazy afternoon before going to see Spamalot tonight - it's the musical based on the Monty Python movie 'the Holy Grail', and me and dad saw it last year in new york, and i'm excited.
anywho, off i run - we're driving up to Glasgow tomorrow, so who knows when the next update shall be!

whoops, a whole week went by...
how did that happen? OK so when i last left you it was saturday afternoon - my parents arrived in New York on Saturday night, and we had a lazy night in - delightful!
On Sunday afternoon we went to a matinee of Wicked - ahhhhmazing of course! it was the first time my mum and sister had seen it (me and dad saw it last year), and they loved it, so they can stay in the family - *phew* - Anna Gasteyer (from SNL and the mum from Mean Girls) was playing the lead, and she rocked.
Seeing as the theatre is closed on Mondays (oh no!) we spent the day shopping (and i MEAN shopping. Saks fifth avenue, bloomingdales, lord and taylor, gap and then some!) and relaxing (very pleasant) and shopping again. Surprise surprise, my family bought luggage. honestly, you'd think we'd have enough!!
On Tuesday Emma caught up with J-Man and got to play with the kids - i'm sure she shall update her blog with pics and fun stories about the Boy and Girl (there's a fun nickname, but i ain't gonna put it on the net!), while me and my parents...continued shopping. we went to Macy's, biggest store EVER. quite exhausting really.
Tuesday night we saw a brand new show called The Drowsy Chaperone which was sooo funny - i absolutely adored it - plus it had one of my fave people in it - sutton, you are awesome.
After the show i FINALLY caught up with my friend Luc, who i was at RADA with - he's at college in the city, and we'd had a hard time acutally managing to meet up, so it was a late night cup of hot chocolate and MASSIVE piece of cheesecake for me! but it was super to catch up!
Wednesday was a quick dash around in the morning to the Empire State Buliding - we picked a great day for it, the sky was so clear But it was super super windy up there! Once we were down we dashed back uptown to pick up a few presents for people we're visiting in the UK (We stopped at Tiffany's, which was divine - they have the trademark blue box adorning the entrance, white ribbon and all!). Once we'd finished there we raced off to a matinee - "Tarzan" - mum emma and i waited outside the theatre for dad to arrive so we could pick up the tickets, and seeing as we were early we pottered around in the lobby for a while...but hang on...i heard applause? quick check of the tickets...yep...we seemed to pick the on matinee in town that started at 2pm instead of 3! so we'd missed the first half hour, but the rest of the show was pretty good! very disney - more of a spectacle "ooohhh look at that show" than an actual musical, but the majority of the music is by Phil Collins who we all love, so we enjoyed ourselves regardless!
Following that, emma and i wandered around times square for an hour or so, buying tacky souvenir things (NB to all those who are aware of emma's things with monkeys - i actually found her a mug that says "Don't Make Me Get The Flying Monkeys!" as well as a Wicked Witch Fake ID!), then we had dinner at Ellen's Stardust Diner - v. entertaining - it's a 50s style diner with Singing Waitstaff - ohhh boy.
Wednesday was our last Broadway musical - The Wedding Singer! if you enjoyed the movie you'll like this! very crazy 80s costumes, a little tribute to Flashdance, a group of celebrity impersonators including tina turner and cyndi lauper, and even Adam Sandler's song "Somebody Kill Me Please!".
On Thursday Emma and I went to central park zoo (i was disappointed to find no Egotistical Lion, Neurotic Giraffe, Confused Zebra or Hippo wit Attitude, but there were some cute snow monkeys!) and were nearly run over by all the kids on school field trips (urgghhh...)
...
and now we're in London! The day we arrived we slept quite a bit, stocked up on Marks and Spencers food (soooooo goooooood), then went and saw We Will Rock You - always fun! Today we all went our seperate ways, i wandered up and down oxford st in an attempt to do some shopping, but seeing as it was a Saturday it was soo soo busy i couldn't stand it for long! We just came back from seeing Evita - finally a show that everyone else knew more than me!
Tomorrow we'll be catching up with various family friends, then on Monday we're actually seeing Wicked with Idina Menzel...oh my word...expect an adoring blog...i love her...
sorry it's so long! if you made it all the way down here you must really like me! as for the rest of you...well you're not reading down this far anyway, so i can say what i like!
pikers.
There will be pictures soon, i'm on my dad's laptop, and don't want to download all my pics onto here.
let me know whats going on at home!

More Photos, More Stories!
SO, 2 days to catch up on - i'll try to keep it short!
Yesterday we went on a tv and film tour of manhattan - AWESOME! we spent 3 and a half hours on a bus and went all over the city, we saw some famous people's places (al pacino, bruce willis, janet jackson, sjp and matthew broderick to name a few) we went to the huxtable house (the cosby show) OH OH My Favourite:
Recognise this?
It's the Friends building!! soo exciting. we saw some will and grace locations too, and me and emma won a whole stash of lollipops cos we could answer all the trivia questions! we apparently have no lives. haha!
OH and this place was cool too - it's called Rice To Riches, it's featured in the movie Hitch, and it's the only gourmet rice pudding place in the WORLD - i wasn't too sure about the whole rice pudding thing, but i tried the choc-hazelnut, and as our tour guide kimberley put it - "she's a believer now!!"
Last night was Rent - disappointingly mediocre, but still, it's Rent, so i'll always be glad i saw it!
TODAY - we got off to a late start and had a mad rush to make it, BUT WE HAD THE BEST MORNING EVER!!! (or at least i did)
we went to "Behind the Emerald Curtain". Now if any of you know me at ALL, you will know that Wicked is my favourite show ever - this morning's event was a behind the scenes look at the show. I Loved It. Bliss. Absolutely.
Me with current cast member Anthony Gelde (swing) and former cast member Sean McCourt (Frex, Dr Dillamond, Wizard u/s)
After a superb morning, we ambled down Broadway for a while, had a MASSIVE lunch at Hard Rock Cafe:
cool...
and now we're back at the hotel nursing our very sore feet!
Mum and Dad arrive tonight, tomorrow we're going to Justin's church, then who knows!!
love to all (except you...you know who you are...heh heh heh...)

hellooooo jetlag...
this morning em made me get up at 7am. urgh. all so we could head way downtown and get to Century 21 (new york's best kept secret) before the crowds hit. there were no crowds, but there were things to be bought!
early morning shopping is fun, yet lethal.
we spent most of the day walking back uptown (a heck of a walk - about 110 blocks!!!) but it was entertaining none the less - like the geeks we are we went to the shiny new Mac store - funky glass box with a red apple in it - very cool
after we finally made it back to the hotel and crashing for a bit, we went off on another escapade to visit my friend Luc from RADA - he lives on the other side of central park, and it should've been a fairly simple walk, but we... took a scenic route...
we FINALLY made it there, only to discover that he wasn't even home (Grr! Argh!!) so we sulked our way down to times square to find a quick dinner (macca's, urgh) before going to see avenue q. which is pure brilliance. and funny as. oh my.
and thus concludes the evening! the jetlag kicked in during the 2nd act, so we were both pretty knackered by the time we got back to the hotel...and now i must crash into bed before i pass out on my laptop...
night all!

i'll keep it short, otherwise i could be ranting all night...
let's get the venting out of the way now: westfield kill my life.
but on a lighter note... even though i've been super sick this week and it hasn't been fun, i'm determined to find at least 10 good things from recent times!
Things That Rock My Socks Right Off:
* being so delirious that you get the giggles for a whole hour and don't know why (neither did the girl i was working with...i think i scared her a bit...)
*having lunch with steve who's been living in sydney all year, and FINALLY catching up...
*randomly going out for drinks with "industry people" who i never actually thought i'd meet...
*planning road trips
*21st speeches (yarrrr!)
*driving my car on a gorgeous day, windows (and roof) down, music blasting
*getting into bed at 7pm and not moving all night (sure, it's cos i'm sick, but the actual resting is good)
*learning new things (like how films are made!)
*getting a real leading role for the first time
*baking cookies
AND FOR A BONUS POINT:
*God. I think he rocks a lot of people's socks. and that is awesome.
*not so much a sigh, but a calm exhale*
i feel better now.
i strongly recommend that you take a couple of minutes and find your top 10.
and sleep a lot.

Warning: Rant Ahead
ok, it's official - commercial music just MAKES ME CRANKY
Paris Hilton should never be near a microphone. ever. (actually i'm struggling to come up with something she should be allowed to do...)
This morning i heard her cover of a Rod Stewart song. oh my. there aren't even enough words. pain. oh my.
AND THEN i heard Ronan Keating do a cover of Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. that just pissed me off. Iris is one of my all time ALL TIME favourite songs, for so many reasons. and it should not be touched by anyone. ESPECIALLY NOT SOMEONE WHO USED TO BE IN A BOYBAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and don't get me started on Fergie, and her London Bridge song. after being trained in singing and having the importance of ends of words practically beaten into me, hearing that song just pains me - mayyy, tayyy and fayyyy ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE SUBSTITUIONS for mace, taste and face. oh my word.
even as i'm typing this my fingers are tense and i'm making growling sounds.
ARGH!
i normally love the radio, and i like nova in the morning on the way to work, but at the moment IT JUST HURTS!
rant done.
for now.

Top 3 for Tuesday
short and sweet post - my top 3 reasons why today was cool.
in no particular order.
- dissolving into giggles at work with kate, and not really remembering why...
- getting home and having the inexplicable need to bake - hence my sister's biblestudy enjoyed a batch of triple chocolate peanut butter cookies.
- finding a petrol voucher that got me 20c off a litre - oh yeah.
- (yeah i threw in a fourth) catching up with someone you haven't caught up with in aaaaaaaaaages.
and i'm done.

thankyou for what now?
i normally on't have a probably with what is said at church, but tonight something jumped out at me, and i don't know why it's stuck with me so much, but here it is:
when a member of the congregation got up to lead prayer, she thanked God that we live in a country devoid of war, poverty or religious persecution, and i just stopped and thought, sorry?
how many australian soldiers are currently fighting overseas?
how many people are out on the streets, stealing or beggin for their next meal?
how many people do you know who have made a degrading comment about muslims or jews or hare krishnas or whatever, even if it is a joke?
now i know that we don't have wars being fought on australian soil, that we don't have slums instead of cities and people aren't killed in the street for their beliefs - but just because it isn't as bad here as it is in other countries doesn't mean we're without it. australians are dying fighting other people's battles. australians are homeless. and although i don't know anyone who has died or been physically injured for their beliefs, i know plenty who have been judged, isolated and persecuted.
we are a lucky country. but we're not perfect.

how many people do you know who have made a degrading comment about muslims or jews or hare krishnas or whatever, even if it is a joke?
now i know that we don't have wars being fought on australian soil, that we don't have slums instead of cities and people aren't killed in the street for their beliefs - but just because it isn't as bad here as it is in other countries doesn't mean we're without it. australians are dying fighting other people's battles. australians are homeless. and although i don't know anyone who has died or been physically injured for their beliefs, i know plenty who have been judged, isolated and persecuted.
we are a lucky country. but we're not perfect.

so much chocolate...
The need for comfort food is quite distressing to me at the moment. in the last 36 hours i have most likely consumed more chocololate, diet coke and mocha frappucinos than i normally would in a week. no joke. and although it is somewhat comforting (hence being known as "comfort food"), i honestly think i would prefer to be one of those people who, when racked with feelings of pain/guilt/sorrow/whatever, could not possibly eat a bite. i think it would be better for all involved.
cos at the end of the day, after that much sugar and caffeine and general chocolatey goodness...
it still sucks.

oh honestly...
from the Sydney Morning Herald:
"Diane Lane recently made a drastic change with one of her most valuable assets: her hair.
On Today, Lane - smiling but wincing - got a haircut, losing 20 cm of her long, sandy-hued locks.
Why? To donate the shorn hair to a charity that gives wigs to women battling cancer."
Does this strike anyone else as a little ridiculous?
I mean, good on her for the donation and everything, but isn't this essentially an article about someone famous getting a haircut? Now i'd understand it a little more if maybe she shaved it all off or something, but 20cms? that's not much! and why would you WINCE at getting 20 cms taken off?? her hair was already long! it really won't make that much of a difference! and hey if it really bugs you, call your personal stylist in LA and i'm sure they can organise some extensions! problem solved!
famous people...urgh...
why do we love them?

Sorry, the human race is out of ideas. Please call again later...
it makes me worry...
i'm a self confessed musical geek. many people are aware of this. i'm proud of it. but lately the musical world has concerned...
Recently Hollywood has enjoyed the revamp of the movie musical. now i'm the first to admit that movies like Rent, The Phantom of the Opera, the Producers and Chicago are among my favourites, and i think it's a good thing to make movies out of musicals because then everyone has the chance to see them. but Broadway is now enjoying something that is quite the reverse. the musical based on a movie. Now the Disney ones were fine, because they were really already musicals to start off with - Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, The Lion King and now Tarzan are all successful, and they are enjoyable shows,buti think it is going too far now! Out of the 4 nominees for this years Best Musical Tony Award, 2 were based on movies - The Colour Purple, and The Wedding Singer. The Wedding Singer!! Come on!!! and the colour purple was originally based on a book! it's gone from book to movie to musical. where else can it go?? poetry? mime? interpretive dance?? when you think about it, Phantom has gone one better - it went from book to movie to musical and back to movie! and look at the producers! the 2005 movie was based on the 2003 musical based on the 1968 movie!
later this year "high fidelity" will open on broadway, based on the popular book by nick hornby and the john cusack movie.
Hairspray, the tony award winner in 2000 was based on a 1950s movie.
Wicked, hugely successful, about to open in London, still running on Broadway, based on the novel by Gregory Maguire which was inspired by the classic movie "The Wizard of Oz".
West Side Story, an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet
Camleot, based on the legend of King Arthur
Spamalot! A musical based on Monty Python's The Holy Grail!
2 out of the 3 major musicals opening in Sydney this year were previously movies - Titanic and Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
For crying out loud even the Lord Of The Rings is a musical now!!
Stephen Scwartz wrote Children of Eden and Godspell - the first based on the first 9 chapters of Genesis, and the 2nd based on the gospel of Matthew. The Bible!
Even steering away from musicals (it's tough, but i'll manage) and moving just to movies - so many are based on books or are remakes of older movies or even comics!
LOTR, x men, spiderman, superman, memoirs of a geisha, the harry potter series, eragon, da vinci code, capote, oliver twist, pride and prejudice, troy
OH MY GOODNESS then we can move on to things based on the life of someone famous!
Capote! Walk The Line! Colour Me Kubrick! The Life and Death of Peter Sellers! Ray! A Beautiful Mind! Cinderella Man! Lennon! the Tony Award winner this year - Jersy Boys, based on the life of Frankie Valli!
FRANKIE VALLI!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!
ok but the really scary thing after my ranting is done. i can't think of anything better. thanks to years of overloading my brain with books and movies and tv shows my imagination is now kaput. i can't think of anything totally original anymore. every idea stems from something i've seen or heard or read somewhere once before. I'm going to throw in a quote from the movie Angels in America (based on the play by Tony Kushner) "The imagination can't create anything new can it?"
apparently not.
now i am aware that i'm making it seem like there is nothing at all original left in the world, but honestly, think back to the last 10 movies you've seen and think about how many are actually truly original.
i'll stop ranting now. hmm that was quite a long one.if you've made it all the way down here, i congratulate you.
goodnight.

umm, that word doesn't exist...
now i know this title seems a little rich coming from me, seeing as i frequently make strange sounds and pass them off as words (like 'squirkle' and 'specicular') but this has really been bothering me lately! see the deal is this:
i am currently in rehearsals for a workshop production of a show which my singing teacher and his partner have written. while reading through the script recently i came across a word that doesn't actually exist, and it's been driving me up the wall every time i hear it! now, please, if i'm wrong TELL ME so i can stop obsessing about it, but as far as i'm aware, there is no such thing as "christianizing". right?? i mean, i understand the concept behind it, but i'm fairly sure the actual term "christianizing" is entirely new to planet earth.
and here's the really irritating part:
i can't do anything about it!!
i know that i really should stop the next time it is said and say 'hey, mr director? yeah, you made up a word...FIX IT PLEASE!'
BUT mr director is just precious and protective over his script that i have the feeling he might tear my head off if i tell him he did something wrong
So here is my grand plan:
the whole deal with a workshop performance is that we invite our most opinionated friends, and they can write down feedback for us, and then the writers take home all the feedback and fix any apparent problems with the show - SO i think if i filled the audience with my most opinionated friends (i have a lot of them... you know who you are) i'll get them all to write down "yeah, the show was great, but i coulnd't help but notice in the first act there's a word that has never before graced the surface of our fair planet..."
wise, no?
i do like making up new words though.
i think specicular is my favourite.
it happened totally by accident - it's like in the movie 'mean girls' where lindsay lohan's character goes to say great and cool at the same time and comes out with 'grool'? yeah, i got half way through saying specific and decided i'd rather go with particular - hence, 'specicular' came into being.
the story behind squircle is somewhat different.
we tried to confuse carly with it, but dazz and ash FAILED ME!
i'm rambling again...
OK so if you could make up any words, what would the be and use them in a sentence!

Two Posts in an hour... yikes.
but i'm thinking about movies. (shocking, i know.) what is it about 80s chick flicks that we love so much? i can't pin it down. i'm currently sitting watching steel magnolias with my sister. em has been watching this movie for 15 years and still loves it. i've loved it since i first saw it when i was about 12. but i couldn't for the life of me give a specific reason. yes the cast is good, the story is good, and as my sister is currently pointing out there are lots of good quotes ("he's so confused he doesn't know whether to scratch his watch or wind his butt") . but that's true for so many movies, and they just don't have the same effect.
but then you look at something like dirty dancing - cheesy as hell, and the story isn't exactly award winning material, but i am yet to find a girl who doesn't get all excited whenver "the time of my life" is playing somewhere - heck, alex made us watch it on the bus on the way to queensland.
even a couple of weeks ago i was sitting round the corner at walshy's and me and sabrina made the boys watch st. elmo's fire, which again isn't a fantastically inspiring movie. but i'll be stuffed if i don't want to sit down and watch it!
...the mystery of 80s movies...
...got me stumped...
sleep is good. i might try and get some.

Eastern Suburbs? What The!
SO on saturday night i managed to double book myself quite impressively, but it ended up making for a really good night! i normally hate double booking myself, cos i hate to be one of those making-a-guest-star-appearance people who will rock up somewhere for 20 mins then head off somewhere better. BUT i decided to ignore this for one night, and had a ball -
EVENT NUMBER ONE: absolutely kicked butt. i mean REALLY it kicked butt - a friend from church Derek is in a band, and they had a gig in Manly - seeing as i had never seen them before i decided to be a good friend and go along, and they ROCKED! seriously if anyone in the world is reading this, pay attention! GALLERY KICKS BUTT! they were awesome! i'd classify the type of music that they play but it's just too hard - they did everything from jazz,blues, rock, they did a cover of the doors and of ray charles, it was super! anyway, that's my plug for Gallery, Derek owes me something pretty.
EVENT NUMBER TWO - so we skipped out early on the gig (once gallery were finished of course) and had to head for a farewell at clovelly (urgh such a trek. why, why must people live out in clovelly.) anyway, the deal with the farewell - my friend simon who i was at college with has gotten a gig touring the US for a year. as an MC. for the Wiggles. Ha. Toot toot chugga chugga Simon. Anyway the farewell was amusing enough cos everyone had to wear a wiggly colour, and Simon actually had an awesome Wiggles belt, lord knows where he got that.Anyways, it was a nice little reunion for some of my college people and some West Side people, and it was highly amusing to see what happens when my boyfriend meets some of my crazy actor friends. they get along dangerously well...
Anyway, the farewell got me thinking about parties - we were teasing simon a lot cos he didn't have a lot of time to hang out with us, and i realised the whole dynamic of parties really sucks for the people who are actually having them - i mean, poor simon was exhausted by the time the night was over cos he had been darting round like a madman all night trying to see everybody, and cos he is such a polite boy he wanted to walk everyone to their cars or cabs, say good night properly, getting photos with everybody etc etc. and after the place kicked us out at midnight (on a saturday night?!?! not impressed.) a few of us went to the palace at coogee bay, and that was the first time i actually got to have a conversation with him. but of course by the time we got there and had a drink blah blah blah we were buggered and wanted to go, and poor simon was quite disappointed! then i started thinking about all the parties i've had at my place for birthdays or whatever, and realised i never really enjoyed them as much as i should have, cos i'm constantly thinking is everyone here, are we ok for drinks, do we need more food, are people breaking things, oh have i greeted this person have i said goodbye to that person, no put that down etc etc and it drives me nuts!
anyway, that's a pretty extensive rant i think.
i'm going to another Gallery gig on tuesday, so i shall probably be back with more ravings.

Ok i'm up and running!
ShinyThings Theatre
so now i'm in business and i know how this thing works i can actually get a conversation with myself going!
i would love to be in bed right now (seeing as it's 1:30am) BUT i have a shocker of a cold and i spent all day in bed, so it's really kind of messed up my sleeping pattern - i did enjoy the sleep in though, as it gave me time to recover from the last couple of weeks
A BIT OF BACKGROUND:
on sunday i had my last performance of a production of West Side Story, which was so SO much fun, but the couple of weeks leading up to it were absolutely MANIC, seeing as i had to work heaps and then had rehearsals 4 times a week. But the show was fun - i was just glad i got to dance a lot! cos i never get to dance in shows - i'm a stronger singer than i am dancer and i'm fine with that, but it always means that i get a singing role rather than a dancing role, and as much as i love singing i do like the opportunity to twirl around a stage once in a while. BUT seeing as there is so little for the girls to do in west side Rob the director decided to let us sing AND dance. and it was fun. ESPESCIALLY seeing as i got partnered with this guy Matt, who is p-h-e-n-o-m-e-n-a-l. really. he's only 18 (wait, maybe he's 19) but he's represented australia at dance competitions and everything, and i could seriously watch him dance all day.
Anywho, back to the present.
My sister and I were watching Scream 2 on TV tonight, and it was so amusing. I remember watching it when it first came out and absolutely loving it, and we all thought we were so hard core for watcing a movie like that, and now i watch it and i just laugh. the music is the funniest thing i think. and the fact that they always run upstairs.WHY DO PEOPLE IN SCARY MOVIES ALWAYS RUN UPSTAIRS? it's the stupidest possible thing to do. that's how sarah michelle gellar's character ended up getting thrown from a roof. i loved the fact that she was in it too. the entire time i was like 'oh come on if she was buffy right now she'd kick his butt.'
and the more i type the more i think i should go to bed, or at least get IN bed cos my toes are freezing! OOH i'm going to continue reading the Da Vinci Code. i honestly think i am the last person in the world to read that book, but i say about so many movies that i'll read the book first, but i never actualy do, but this time i'm determined!!
Wish Me Luck!

Tadaa the first post!
I'd like to say it'll be the first of many, but who knows, i tend to have a somewhat limited memory for these things, but hey let's see how i go!
So i guess mostly i'll just be rambling away about various things and what not, any thoughts, questions, opinions or 'hey, shut-ups' post away!
