Last Drama Lesson.... EVER!!!

*sigh*

hi...

today was my last drama lesson... ever....

t'was very sad. You see I've been doing drama since year 7. -back then it wasn't serious stuff, just games and stuff that shouldn't actually be called drama, lol. and we had a teacher called Miss Kennedy- good times those were.... :)

Anyway, then it came to the end of year 9 and we had to pick subjects for GCSEs- and i picked drama (naturally)

What followed was two years of drama with a teacher called Ms Fox- who has greatly inspired me in many ways. :)

We studied plays such as Blood Brothers, Caucasian Chalk Circle and others.... our pieces had to be devised. I remember always being very confident of my ability- until i saw myself perform (it had been recorded). And then the tragic thing occured: my self perception of myself was way out of line with how i actually look. So a big shocker- and a huge knock on my confidence... :(

...good times...

and then i got a B for my GCSE- instead of the A i was so surely predicted. I remember being absolutely destroyed by that.

Lol. How dramatic.

Anyway i tried getting over it- but i don't think i've ever properly done. So since i haven't completely felt confident in my ability.

When it came to choosing A-levels i wasn't as sure whether to pick it... but in the end i did- my unbeatable love for the subject itself beat any self-doubt i had!

So I've just had a year of incredible theatre studies (at AS level):
-discovered absurdist plays (Eugene Ionesco, amongst others)
-did the play 'Crimes of the Heart' (i played Babe)- the suicidal youngest sister who shot her husband in the stomach. :)
-I also did a monologue from 'The Gentlemen of Verona'
-And we studied 'A Doll's House' and 'Oleanna' in a lot of detail.

but alas my future prospects dictate that i can't continue it next year.

It's been rather heartbreaking, and today was the last day. :(

Spent about 1.5 hours speaking to Ms Fox after school about stuff.... man she's awesome!

So,

I'll really miss it. :) -But i'm incredibly thankful for all the years i've been fortunate enough to study the subject (and all the amazing things i've been able to take away from it!)

another quote- me likey!

Meade's Maxim: Always remember that you are absolutely unique,
.... just like everyone else.

I'm Melting!!!

OMGSH!!!! it's like soooo hot! been wearing skirts for the past two days (which i don't think i've done for a normal school day at school.... since... ever!) :O

it's been 30 degrees celsius for the past two days here.... 30 degrees!!!!

and our school is strange in that it wont allow anyone to wear shorts... so, girls are perfectly ok wearing mini skirts- but if a guy was to show up in 3/4 length shorts or even nice tailored shorts they would be told off, and possibly sent home... it doesn't really make sense to me. Anyway, the prefect team are trying to address the issue.... hope it's not a lost cause!

*dies from heat*

uhuh... yesterday at badminton i was exhausted just after the warm up! man, this heat really takes it out of you...

and i'm seeing Avenue Q tonight! Yay! Avenue Q! It's supposed to be really funny and kinda rude- which is kinda cool.. i guess.

Anyway, shall tell you more upon my return! now, to find something that i can wear that wont kill me from the heat- whilst still being somewhat appropriate for the theatre... hmm....

Michael Jackson's death

:( Michael Jackson died last thursday (25th June, 2009)- so four days ago.

It was about 11:30pm, i was upstairs brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed. My lil bro comes upstairs and says 'Michael Jackson is dead'. Wow, i was pretty shocked. Can't really tell you how much. First thing i felt was disbelief... i ran downstairs, and my sister and mum were watching the bbc news. It had huge 'Just in' messages all over it, and 'Live here from Los Angeles'... and all that stuff....

and then one of those news men said, 'it has been confirmed that Michael Jackson died today, when he suffered from a cardiac arrest in his hotel room...'

it was pretty much like the time stopped... and i was completely speechless. all i could say was "what...?" and "how....?"

i don't think anyone saw it coming.

Such an amazing man.

The most distinct childhood memory i had of him was when i was just a baby (don't know how old) and whenever 'Heal the World' came on, i'd just stop whatever i was doing and move to the front of the tv. and i'd put my hands on the screen and be mesmerized.... :)

so it's sad. and he was about to do a huge tour too- here at the O2

poor fans who bought tickets will be gutted.

woke up the day after, and turned on the radio- almost every station was blasting out old MJ classics... that made me get upset all over again- i'd forgotten what had happened.

hope he knew how much people loved and adored him. may he rest in peace.

xx

NOBODY IS PERFECT

uidhfiwfuiwhfuhfe

and guess what.

this new random template i chose wont let people comment either! so what am i supposed to do?!

just strip my blog of any template!??!?

FINE!

Stupid blog templates... rhghuihgsuhgfhsg

Grr! getting so frustrated with these stupid templates! There are not enough to pick from! So i look out of this site for other templates... spend ages... finally pick one! and what happens...? oh yeah, that's right! stupid weird writing appears at the top of my blog, sponsoring some website!

then i try to see if i can remove it by going to that weird html place... again, spend a long time trying that out! dsugbirbyegbrgyuerbyuuybuyvebyeur

try looking for other templates, but realize i've lost the will to. So, now i've barely updated in this blog because everytime i look at it, i get angry at the stupid template! Then i pick another one, finally- and it doesn't let people comment! what the heck?!

......

so, i'm going to make my own template, my sister found this website that shows you how to do it. So i will!!!!

for now, i'll just have to live with this other random template i've picked. :(

Goodbye!

Breakfast

ok, this is a much loved blog. I think you can tell by the constant updates!

Anyway, here is what i had for breakfast the other day:

and from the other angle:

:D t'was very tasty!

even though it's pretty obvious what's on each piece of toast i shall list them for you anyway!

-crunchy peanut butter, banana slices and honey on top- for one of them

-Emmental cheese slices (slightly melted on top of toast), and various berries cut into little pieces (strawberry, blueberry, raspberry and blackberry)

:D i love my food!

Keys...

ok... so after walking around my house for a while, i got tired and sat down and decided to scan in some drawings i'd done. This was at approx. 1:45am...

Then i uploaded one onto DeviantART, (check DA out! It's seriously cool! www.deviantart.com/) yup! if you haven't heard about it, it's the biggest online art community! you upload art- and people comment. Everyone's really nice! what a lovely place.

In the end i found my keys! but i was way too tired to do a victory dance.... only 5 hours of sleep... good times.... and i had to get up early for a violin lesson...

hmm... maybe i'll sleep today. *collapses*

Oh man...

*sigh*

I've lost my keys... again... :(

it's 1:15am, and i'm walking around my house looking for those darn keys!

oh well.... is gonna be a long night... will update later on today, if i make it...
