Too tired to be thinking of titles.

The thing with wearing two pairs of socks is that when you get to taking them off at night you end up being like "WILL THE SOCKS NEVER END???"

Undressing is always a rather dramatic affair for me. I always lose my balance when I'm taking my trousers off, and I often end up thinking things like "Oh no! I'm going to be stuck in this jumper FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE."

I must point out to you though that this is usually when it's getting towards 2am & I'm generally not quite with it.

That's just a little snapshot for you into the part of my life that you're less likely to be a part of lol.

May your days be merry and briiiight! And may all your Christmasses be white..

I've been awake for 17 and a half hours IT'S TOO LONG FOR MY LITTLE MIND TO SURVIVE.

Will collapse if I don't get to bed pretty soon.

I need to buy Christmas presents.
I need to write my Larkin essay that was due in two weeks ago.
I need to finish my structured record.
I need to fill in all my GCSEs and send off my UCAS application form.
I need to get more sleep.

I'm not very good at this stuff :/

SO BORED OF ESSAYS

That I've started watching Disney Fanvids on youtube again. Sorry, drama teachers, but I love childrens films more than you.



Tehee :)

Stress face.

Yeah, last minute drama project FTW.

Seriously, I've had all summer to do this, I'm about half way through & my lesson is in 45 minutes!! AAHHH.

ETA: Sorry, less than half way.

Yeah.

it's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

Hahha so I was trying to get myself into "Top Girls" mode for some drama revision.

That's right, kids. A little bit of Dolly Parton.

A little bit of you makes me your man.. *trumpet*

HELLO.

:D

I just had ice cream lol :P.

Had my drama performance yesterdayyyy. It went well but the dress rehearsal was, to quote myself, a "minor catastrophe."

It's the only way I can think of to describe it lol.

The actual performance was good though. Sort of.

Everyone keeps asking me about this, and the only real answer I can come up with is this:

I think the play was difficult because it's not brilliant. However I think we did the best that we could with it at our level of experience and with the time that we had.

There you go, that sounded somewhat fancy. I might stick it in my evaluation :P

You know...

..I don't really have very many I LOVE DRAMA moments anymore. Not as many as I used to.

But when I do have one, it's a million times bigger and better.

Right now, I feel like I could easily do this for the rest of my life.

lol, don't worry, it'll die down tomorrow and be replaced with OMG WHYYY WHYY BRAIN WHYYY?? by Monday as I will probably seriously doubt my ability to make decisions.

Hahh, I'm sure it will be interesting to watch for you all.

she tied you to her kitchen chair, she broke your throne and she cut your hair

Well.. it wasn't that bad. It all probably seems worse because I'm ill (whooo! It's that lovely bronchitis again m'dears).

They made me sit down on a regular school chair, and they didn't actually cut my hair.

BUT THEY BACK COMBED IT AND CURLED IT AND IT HURT AND THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN.

And they painted horrendous colours onto my face. And made me wear a skirt.

Hahha.

Take drama kids, you know what's best.

EDIT: Nothing like a bit of loud music when you're ill. Hahha.
I've got my Playlist of Ultimate Doom on, so I imagine everyone in the kitchen can just hear thudding ;)

"The garden has extremely high walls.."

Am doing some last minute line learning lol. Hence the title. That's one of my lines.

FOR MORE, COME TO THE PERFORMANCE :D Ask me for details ;)

Today we are being visited by some old family friends (one of which lived with us when I was a baby) and we were talking about my second cousin what is "famous".

I always forget who he is & what he's called.

So, for future reference, I am related to Lee Brennan from 911.

Hear that, Lee? I IS UR 2ND CUZIN :D

I wasn't sure if this should go in the hideaway, what with it being about other people & not just me.. Buut he's already "famous". He can deal with it.

Hahah. I think it's wicked. Apparently my Nana was really proud of him about it lol.

The humans are dead...

Afternoon! :D

I'm in a good mood today, because I have the whole of tomorrow off from school :) Although I can't actually speak properly because of my throat lol.

I normally have Tuesday Week 2 free of lessons, but they're letting us miss tutor period too. Apparently you don't have to go if you don't smoke.

:/ Not sure who exactly is going to actually go... I don't know any smokers who actually go to tutor period anyway lol. But I'm not going to go so everything is wonderful :D

Ooh and I'm going to town to get my DofE pictures lol. None of them are particularly good, but I'll stick them on the Hideaway anyway.

I don't really have anything else to say.. Except that you should all go and listen to The Humans Are Dead by Flight of the Conchords.

Pinch, Punch..

Went to see Les Mis today :D

It was awesome.

Beyond awesome.

It was a tad depressing lol, but it was brilliant.

Don't tell my drama teachers that I went though :P They'll have me writing up notes about it ;)

Young Cosette and the little guy from the the barricades were really, really good. I really wasn't expecting anything much from them, seeing as they're just kids, but they really were incredible.

Nnnggghh. I can't even pick out the best bits for you lol, it was all good.

I, being me, was probably most fascinated by the technical side. They had a rotating stage, which they used all the way through. The barricades were awesome. You really had to pay attention to spot the scene changes too. Because the stage rotated, the backstage crew could set up the next scene in a dark/hidden part of the stage, so that when the next scene came up they could just spin it around and have it all already set up.

The revolution bit was awesome - you can just see these marching figures in the smoke, then someone at the back started waving a massive red flag.. I dunno, it doesn't sound even remotely impressive now that I'm writing it down lol but it really was good heh.

Still have not gotten the hang of all the French names. I can only remember Fantine, Cosette and Jean Valjean - And there one something like Javert? I dunno. I'm useless like that.

Ohh and Marius. Marius? I dunno xDD

It was really good though. Would recommend it to anyone.

But when we were just in the general area, we walked past the theatre where they're showing SPAMALOT xDD

Told my mum I wanted to go for my eighteenth ;)

Baacck to schooooooool.

Helloo :) Went back to school today, although I didn't do much interesting stuff. Did some stuff about 'Translations' in English, learnt my drama lines at lunch and then was only needed for a prompt in drama - we were doing the bit at the end that I'm not in, because it's their weakest scene.

Well, of course it is - I'm not in it! :P xD Joking lol.

Did I tell you that I watched a video of my GCSE exam? Nearly died. I can never watch myself on film again :|

That said, I probably will.

Anyway, have got something rather terrible to tell you all.

Have been watching the first series of Torchwood xDDD Bwahahaha.

It's rubbish, and I know it's rubbish - so you don't have to tell me it's rubbish...

But I looooooove it.

Ianto is fricken awesome.

"Lots of things you can do with a stopwatch..." xDDD

the colour of her eyes were the colour of insanity

Just realised as was writing down the date - one month to Valentine's Day! :O :O

Yeah that's exciting ¬¬


Anywho had a full cast rehearsal thing today. For those of you completely baffled, I'm doing backstage for the school performance of Calamity Jane.

I've been humming the songs all the way home lol.

Toyed with the idea of jumping on stage with a cowboy hat on and stealing the show, but then decided that I'd probably much prefer running around in the dark anyway xD

An angel appeared and told them about the birth of Jesus

Ugh need to do Drama coursework (with the SPACE JAM THEME TUNE IN THE BACKGROUND! That was the best film ever. Siriusly.)

Toodles x

A star appeared as a sign that a great king was about to be born

Got our drama script today.

Oh my word.

I have very few positive things to say lol.

asdfhjkflsg;jlkgs.

Listening to a spot of Tchaikovsky...

...and curling up with a hot water bottle (cunningly disguised as a teddy bear).

If only I didn't have to do my Drama homework *sigh*

Anyone know anything about the Structure of Pericles by Shakespeare? No?

I tell you what, I really want to go and see a production of Pericles. We won't, because it's not long now before we start work on our final piece thingie, but I want to go anyway :P

I would quite like to go to a theatre that isn't the RSC though, because that's the only one I've ever been to and really enjoyed a performance. I think.

Blood Brothers was okay, (and I did love the cloakrooms at the Phoenix Theatre lol) but I want to widen my horizons :P

Anyone got any recommendations?

ETA: I just put a whole load of bonjela in my mouth and it's gone all numb lol xD well done me.

Remember this one?

Ooh we're all going to fail...

Hah I forgot I had this in My Documents.. Lookie:

Why Do We Mess Up In Exams?
A year has 365 days for you to study.
After taking away 52 Sundays, there are only 313 days left. There are 50 days in the summer that is way too hot to work so there are only 263 days left. We sleep 8 hours a day, in a year, that counts up to 122 days so now we're left with 141 days. If we fooled around for only 1 hour a day, 15 days are gone, so we are left with 126 days. We spend 2 hours eating each day, 30 days are used in this way in the year, and we are left with 96 days in our year. We spend 1 hour a day speaking to friends and family, that takes away 15 days more and we are left with 81 days. Exams and tests take up at least 35 days in your year, hence you are only left with 46 days. Taking off approximately 40 days of holidays, you are only left with 6 days. Say you are sick for a minimum of 3 days, you're left with 3 days in the year to study! Let's say you only go out for 2 days! You are left with 1 day! But that 1 day is your birthday...
So...

GOOD LUCK to everyone on your exams.

Bleh I've got my drama dress rehearsal today, everyone - wish me luck! (I kinda should get dressed now..)

woo!

Guess who I just saw on stage!

Yes.

I quite love drama trips.

The play itself was really complicated, but it was good. I'm not going to bother explaining it - haven't got time..

I want Robin Hood to be on tv again. xD

Happy Red Nose Day for tomorrow, in case I forget to post. I need to go to bed..

*screams and runs away*

Soooo remember when we were in Year 9, all those people were like "oooooh it's your GCSEs in the next 2 years! THAT's going to be stressful :D " and we were all like "shut up."

Turns out -they weren't just taunting us for the sake of it...

Oh crap.


Tomorrow I'm going to see a play in Birmingham called "An Oak Tree". What's it about? No idea. It's probably about an oak tree. Then again, maybe not. Psh. It's like Pirates of the Caribbean 2 all over again... I mean, seriously. When was there a dead man in it? (other than at the end of course *sniff* RIP Cap'n (even though we all know that he won't rest. Or be peaceful.. bloody pirates..))

Then I have non-uniform day on Friday, and a week after that all the madness begins.

Friday 23rd March - Full dress rehearsal for drama piece. AHHH.
Monday 26rd March - Perfomance of drama piece. AHHH.
Tuesday 27rd March - Art exam day 1. AHHH.
