I'M 18!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY

1. Which celebrity would you like to meet and why?
Ah, the gorgeous Mr. Tennant would obviously be my first choice, for obvious reasons.


2. What do you do before bedtime?
Read, daydream, read some more, wish I had a drainpipe.

3. One of your favorite quotes?
’To sleep perchance to dream, ay there’s the rub, for in that sleep of death, what dreams may come’ OR
‘A dream itself is but a shadow’

I have no clue.

5. Are you an introvert or extrovert?
Introvert.

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?

7. What's the most important thing someone you like has to have?
Patience, I feel anyone who could fall in love with me would have to be so patient to put up with me. I’m a complete bitch.

8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
Let off a wistful sigh. They’d never like me anyway.

Oh, my lack of drainpipe.

To give :)

NO.

20. What were your parents going to name you if you'd been born the opposite gender?
Daniel. I think.

YOU CAN'T JUST SPRING THIS ON US! :'(

David Tennant has just announced on the National Television Awards, that after the 2009 specials, he will not be returning as the Doctor.



There is no way they will find a Doctor this good looking ever again! I feel betrayed! According to all the reliable sources Tennant's contract was secured until the end of the 2010 series, and there were even rumours that he was extending it until 2011, but this was a lie!


If I had a heart it would be breaking.


I haven't quite let it sink in yet.


Maybe if I choose to ignore it and pretend it never happened, then it will go away.

David Tennant quit!!!




*sobs*

The Epicness of the Bare Stage!

Last night I sat in the audience of the Manchester Dance House in complete and utter panic. What if the props weren't right, what if they forgot their lines, what were we going to do about the magic dissappearing lantern, what was going to happen after the cue for 'Fie sir, fie!'?!?!

But may I say, the cast of 'King Lear' were absolutely amazing, I have never been so proud than when the lights went out and they all took their curtain call (although folks, there was no need to stand on stage for quite so long). It was amazing, it really was, and everybody onstage (and Jodie being frantic backstage) did so incredibly well. Seriously! Considering that we only started seven weeks ago, what they managed to pull off was astonishing. :) I am so very proud, and there's an odd mixture of relief, and real sadness that it's all finished. My last ever (extra curricular) play, and over and done with. *sob*

It'a also quite odd that now, for the first time in a good few years, I'll be able to go home on time on a Tuesday, Thursady and Friday. Imagine the strangeness. :)
Now, the following are quotes from the cards I got:

'We know it will be amazing,
We know this to be true,
King Lear will be super-great
And not a pile of poo'

'Hope the rehearsals have been going well under the capable direction of director Katie (LOL). I'm expecting a suitably grim play, no room for comedy in this one...Well done Katie (I think).'

'Good Luck dude!!'

'You shall be the next Steven Spielberg. but more feminine. And less American'

Thankyou folks! :)

*sniffle*

SO FAIL, IT WAS EPIC

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted, there was a problem and I wrote a load of posts that just didn't appear. Don't worry, none of them were very important.

T'other day (Tuesday) I auditioned for Les Miserables (this years school musical) and was so epically crap that I didn't even get a part as a prostitute in the chorus.
Not that I'm epically surprised that I failed so badly, I think that it just proved me right, which is a very rare occurrence, so in that respect, thanks!

Having never actually properly auditioned for a school musical because of my epic rubbish-ness, I thought, seeing as it's my last year and last ever school musical, I'll go for it! I sang 'I dreamed a dream'.

Needless to say it's the last time I'm going to audition for any musical. In fact, I may just stop singing entirely, it's kind of acted as all the proof I need that I am as shit as I thought, and I really shouldn't be wasting my time.

At this point I would say 'on a brighter note', but I can't. 'King Lear' is becoming as much of a failure, and I feel really guilty, because I've got a cast full of people that I'm letting down. Howard should have known better than to trust me with it. She really should. I mean, I can't even get essays in on time, what made her think I could direct a bloody play! It's shit! I told my cast about the costume thing and how each generation was wearing costume from different periods (to enhance the difference between the morals of each generation) and they looked at me with expressions that pretty much said 'That's shit'. And they're going to end up looking daft onstage, and it's entirely my fault. I feel I should just quit now.

MY FUTURE (APPARENTLY)

		I will marry David Tennant.
		After a wild honeymoon, We will settle down in Scotland in our fabulous Shack.
		We will have 1 kid(s) together.
		Our family will zoom around in a Black Motorbike.
		I will spend my days as a Director, and live happily ever after.

NOT A DOCTOR WHO POST

I'm saving any and all Doctor Who rants until after the series finale (and believe me there are a hell of a lot of rants).

I don't particularly have a lot to say. I'm quite worried about 'King Lear'. We are going to have to do this very quickly, and I don't know if they are going to grow up and act like normal mature people, plus I've only kind of directed parts of it, instead of methodically working through it, so there are sections of the script with no notes on it, and they are just going to end up stood onstage looking like idiots. :( And I really don't know what time era to put it in for costume and stuff. Period suits the script better than modern, but modern could work really well with use of music; and modern could be really specific cultural reference modern, or non specific 'throw on a suit' modern, neither of which truly appeal to me. There's always the old fall back of just having blacks and being totally non specific of era, like 'Waiting for Goddot'. Plus I'm not sure if people will learn their lines in time, lord knows they didn't for 'Midsummer', but then again this one is only half an hour long, so there really isn't that much for them to learn. But then we are going to have to work through this (not completely blocked) script really intensely because of the time constriction, we're on at the end of October.

And, yay!, JulNoWriMo starts tomorrow. It's 85,000 words in the month, the last week of which I'm on holiday, so that should be interesting (again). I'm totally screwed! I have no characters and no plot, I am just going to type and not stop in the hope that I will form some strange form of story. It can't be worse than last year can it?
