Over

Fame is officially a wrap, and I'm sad to say that I have my life back once again.
It's been a hectic few months, or however long it's been since I last posted (again with the slackness). The Premiere of Prey was marvellous, movie was a shocker but an amazing night. Saw Little Red perform at the Hi Fi Bar last month aswell, also very impressive.
But Fame was so amazing, and the feedback was beautiful. We're all devastated it's over, especially after spending 8 months together. Such an amazing bunch of people.
I had to make a speach on the last night aswell, and it was definately a struggle to fight back the tears. The standing ovation made it all worthwhile.



But although I'm officially "back", I still fear that my slackness will once again hold me back. So I've joined Twitter! I'm guilty of changing my Facebook status far far far too often, so now I'm indulging my poor habit, and thanks to my new little Widget over there > you can see what I'm up to, no matter how boring it may be.

I love you all!

Slack

It concerns me that the only time I've really had the chance to sit down and write anything in the past month and a half is today, because I'm at home, sick. I think it's just dancing, musical rehearsals, school, work and all the going out just catching up with me.

I haven't really stopped since I last wrote, but sadly I can't be bothered filling you in on March and April's happenings, so I guess I'll just leave that up to your imagination.

On a really really exciting note, I've been invited to the premiere of Prey in a couple of weeks :)

Fame in 15 days...

oh yeah your skin and bones

most amazing week

I'll start with a pair of socks I made today which I plan on wearing tomorrow to Push Over.


Saturday night

That dress is actually not a dress at all! I found a really daggy knee length black two-layer skirt in mum's wardrobe, so I hitched it up under my bust, then put a new black gypsy top with elastic shirring around the bottom over the top of it. I pinned the skirt to the bottom on my bra so it didn't fall down, et voila! So innovative.

Wednesday night- Coldplay




I cried several times. The show was packed with surprises, from the giant yellow balloons that cascaded from the ceiling during 'Yellow', filled with glitter that covered the crowd as the balloons popped, to the thousands of paper butterflies during 'Lovers in Japan', to when Chris Martin and his amazing fellow Coldplayers ran up all the stairs in the arena and performed a magical few acoustic songs (including 'my song', Green Eyes) from a platform mid-crowd less than 10 metres from my best friend and I. Flawless, the entire show was flawless.

Friday night- Complexions Contemporary Ballet

Speaking of flawless, I don't think I've ever seen movement so intricate, strong but at the same time so incredibley gentle. Every minute of complexions was absolute perfection, a standout being Desmond Richardson. The entire second act was performed only to U2 songs. Amazing.

We also had our school Swimming Carnival on Friday, and I made a fantastic tie dye top from a mens XXL white tee-shirt, but I'll wait until I have a better photo of it.

Tomorrow will be wonderful. I'm too lucky.
I love you all.

"Women would rule the world if they didn't hate each other"

I am aware that most people reading this have never met me before, and a lot of you are in a completely different continent. So I'd like to start by letting you all know that as sarcastic and loud-mouthed as I am, I'm also probabaly the least confrontational person ever. I stay on EVERYONE'S good side. And I have NEVER been in an argument. EVER.
And somehow I've been in two fights since Friday, and won both of them. Although I didn't really win seeings as I wasn't the one playing any games.

But basically, I have my fingers crossed this never happens again. I'm so so SO lucky that I have so many lovely lovely friends, and am pretty diplomatic when it comes to the art of arguing. But what I don't understand is why everyone can't just shut the hell up and stay out of other people's buisiness. Don't pretend you know what's going on, don't make shit up for your own benefit, and don't EVER give someone else crap for something they haven't done.

One of my very best friends started dating another one of my closest friends just the other day. It's complicated, I know the full story, and all anyone needs to know is that they've gone about it all the right way, the best way, and everyone involved is happy. And that's what they deserve.
