'ello there! Oh haiiiiiii!

Just thought I'd use the time I should probably be doing CW with to write some shizz about my incredibly ordinary life. (ok maybe a little bit out of the ordinary then!)

Firstly, I was elated to see the sexy beast that is Rihanna wearing MY jacket in her What's My Name video!
Just want to make sure that people are aware that I had this jacket first and she OBVIOUSLY copied me after seeing how great I looked in it!

If Rihanna does read this (which I'm sure she will) Yes, I am starting celebrity beef with you Rihanna! Bring it on!
Actually on second thoughts please don't bring it on. You will eat me alive!

This week has been my half term but instead of coming away from it feeling rested and prepared for the return of college I feel knackered and 1 week closer to my impending doom (exams). It has been a busy week for me.
It started off relaxed with me just sitting around the house. For some reason when you have tons of time on your hands you just think "Hey, I won't use this time effectively to get my work or other important things done. Nahhh I'll just sit here and watch Scrubs and surf Facebook alllll day!!"

Tuesday
I went to Liam's house with Andy and poorly Hannah. I was very humbled to be the first passenger in Andy's green beauty of a car! He needs to decide what he should name his car. Here are some possibilites:
*Patrick
*Green Machine
*Pea
*Luigi
*The Hulk
Please comment with any other ideas :)

Wednesday
was my Central audition. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. The building was really nice. It was like one of those posh factory conversions with brick walls, shiny metal and wood floors. Walking round the school is like being in Fame. There are just things happening in every nook and cranny. We walked past someone inside a huge puppet man and the other students just walked past it without batting an eyelid. I was expecting someone to jump up onto a table and for the entire school to begin a choreographed routine. There were lights rigged in every part of the school and so this choreography could have been completely plausable.

Thursday
I went to Brighton with Andy and Liam. I showed Liam the Krispy Kreme that has recently opened and he reacted by saying (in front of some 13 year old boys) "I'm gonna put my dick in a doughnut!"
LUCKILY in this case Liam was all talk and no action THANK GOD! I brought 2 pairs of shoes and a ring and Andy found some jeans. YAY SHOPPING! We ended the day on the pier shooting zombies and riding motorbikes in the arcade. Lovely.

Friday
I had my Chichester audition. Meh. I already kinda knew that I wasn't too impressed by chichester's campus and general atmosphere and this audition just managed to strengthen those feelings. I did meet some lovely people though!
In the evening I went to Lia's PA paaartayyy! There were no ambulance's involved this time but we did have a hilarious game of "what the fuck" and a lot of dancing to the music channels. PLUS we got to see Lia's incredible house (think of a modest footballer's home) I was determined to stay up until 5am to Liam's annoyance but he ended up keeping me up until way past then with his crazy talk about blegs and bacon. That is all.

Saturday
was meant to be my day of work. In the end I got home slept until 3pm, wrote some log book and added a minute to my CW video. So it's fair to say I was partly successful.

Sunday (today) 
I am going to visit my grandad, my other grandparents and my aunt and cousins which is a lovely way to end the half term. All you can eat chinese with the fam-a-lam. WOOP!

So there's my week!
Thanks

Take 2

Hello!
This is my second chance at writing this blog as my first attempt got deleted by my stooopid laptop.
_________________________________________________
I just want to express my love and respect for the amazingly talented Adele who has been on repeat on my spotify for quite a while now. I listened to her radio 1 Live Lounge and her performance at The Brits and each time it gave me goosebumps. I have never been broken hearted (but when I am it will make a gripping blog) but the lyrics still seem to speak to me. To be honest even if she was singing in some alien language the music speaks for itself. So, yeah, well done Adele.

What a beaut.

As anyone who knows me well enough will tell you I am on the constant search for cool hair so as you can imagine when my dad told me I was in for a hair-cut I got excited about the possibilities. I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets like this before a hair-cut. I quickly got on to the internet to search for inspiration and found this picture;

In my excitable haze I had an image of myself with my new hair. I can't be the only one who thinks that thier new hair will dramatically change how they look and even how they act. Now, I don't know why, but for some reason I truely believed;

1) I had enough hair for this style
2) My full block fringe could somehow just disappear
3) By showing this picture to a hair dresser they could make me look exactly like this celeb (whoever she is)

I was wrong.
Our hair-dresser arrived at our house. I showed the photo to her as planned. She nodded and seemed happy she could provide me with this exact style. As she snipped and brushed I sat their impatiently not being able to see the end result. She said she was finished and I rushed to a mirror. Oh.
It was NOTHING like the photo. In fact, if anything, she'd taken away some of the length that I'd been working so hard on!
And surprise suprise... no-one noticed.

I had a lovely time on valentines day with Liam, Andy and Amy. We celebrated anti-valentines day or Pointless Excessive Commercialism Day.
We watched Scary Movie 2 and Paranormal Activity 2 which was horrible but made slightly more bare-able by the fact all four of us crammed onto my sofa along with pillows to cover our eyes and ice-cream.
Liam and Andy had a cookie fight in my kitchen too (They should really just get a room!) and managed to leave crums ALL over the house! Thanks guys. oh, how can I stay mad at you!
_________________________________________________

The next day I was in 'one of those moods' where everything in the world seems to hate you.
I woke up to rain and grey and stomch pains which is always the best way to begin the day! I got to college and found out that my English A Level exam is on the Friday of Glastonbury. I cried a lot.
Glastonbury is a huge part of who I am,

 I've been going since I was very little and it so upsetting to think that I'll miss any of it. Especially as it isn't going to be on next year due to the Olympics.
But fingers crossed I'll get a car-share up there on the friday :D
If you're interested in coming  to glasto this year (which you should be because it's amazing) the tickets go on resale in April:

I had an awful day and probably looked like this most of the time:


 (and thank you to Joe Burns who brought me a chocolate rose, wrote me a note and let me have an oreo and all my lovely PA group who always cheer me up)
_________________________________________________
It's very exciting now that I've started going out in Brighton. I went to an 80's club night the other night which was extremely fun. Lots of cheesey music and crazy people. But, I think it was only a warm-up to all the fun times that are going to happen in the future. The possibilities are endless!
_________________________________________________

Talking about the future, I've got my Central School Of Speech and Drama audition on wednesday and then a couple of days after that my Chitchester audition. It's all very nerve-wracking but also exciting! I still havent heard back from Exeter and the longer they leave it the more and more I want to get in there! AHHHH put me out of my misery please, it's the humane thing to do!

Anyway! Thank you for reading, I've been on edge the entire time I've been writing in case my laptop fucked up again but all is good!

The low-down

I was going to do this post yesterday but I thought 2 posts in one day might of been pushing it (or not, I don't know the rules of blogging yet)

Once again I have had an incredibly average weekend although I have just watched The Kings Speech at my local (tiny) cinema, which I have never see so busy. I have seriously never seen more than 10 people there at one time and most of them are staff but today Burgess Hill cinema had eager film-watchers coming out of it's metophorical ears.

The film was brilliant. Colin Firth was outstanding and managed to give my goosebumps. I wasn't prepared for how funny it was going to be either. It's amazing how watching a full-grown man pretending to be a monach shout "tits" can create such a tidal wave of laughter.

In other news, I have recently heard back from all of the universities I have applied for. Of course, I am over the moon about this but in a way it has also made life just that bit more complicated. I am hoping to do a drama course next year and so the universities have asked that I attend a interview/audition. If only a couple of uni's had accepted me this far then, not only would it be much less stressful and take up less of my time but it would also help me to make my final decision by cutting out some options. I might be getting ahead of myself though as none of them have actually offered me a place yet so I should probably just calm down.
I have already been to one of the audition at Exeter Uni. It was sooooooo good. The town is lovely and the course seems perfect for me (it's 1st in the national student survey for overall satisfaction don't you know!).
The auditon was an interesting process to say the least.

I travelled 4 hours(ish) to get to Plymouth were I was staying with a family friend. As anyone who is friends with me on Facebook will tell you I was VERY impressed (and slightly in love with) the train service on the Great Western Trains. As I write this I am reading it out loud in a nasal tone that resembles a trainspotting enthusiast because thats who I feel like when I recall my strange obsession with these trains......

View out of the train.



Yes... a TV on a train





Yep, you aren't dreaming.. that's a plug!



I hope these picture help you understand my feelings.

I slept in Plymouth then had a 1 hour train journey to Exeter (which I did not complain about!) I got to the Uni about 30 minutes early and so walked around the campus with a paranoid feeling that the students were looking at me and thinking "You don't belong here!". I met some reallllyy lovely people as soon as I got into the building which immediately squashed my feeling that I would be the loner sat in the corner. There was a lot of sitting around waiting for an interview. I went through moments of being completely calm to complete panic. When my name was finally called the interview went really went (I think). We just chattered away about theatre and my opinions (which I could talk about all day)

After the interview we were asked to take part in a workshop which none of us were that worry about. As drama students we'd all done more workshops than you could shake a stick at and we all knew they were full of name-learning and general looking silly games. But OH NO.

This one was different!

It was ran by a CRAAZYYY woman who seemed like your average slightly mentally unstable drama teacher at first but she was actually MENTAL. She made us push an imaginary piano along the floor, a seemingly easy task for people who learn about pretending to do things everyday at college but no. I was the first one answer a question. The conversation went like this;

Crazy Lady: What did you find interesting about this task

Me: (looking slightly smug)Well, I found that I changed position of how I was pushing the piano regularly (a perfectly good answer I though)

Crazy Lady: Why?

Me: (slightly taken aback) ..because it looks me visually interesting and-

Crazy Lady: No. Why?

Me: I, err, it... well, because...

Crazy Lady: You change position when you're pushing a piano because...

Me: It's......heavy?

Crazy Lady: Yes, and....

Me: errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......

Crazy Lady: (as if it's the most obvious thing in the world) Your centre of gravity!

By the time she was finished eniliating me most of the group had lowered thier hands. I wonder why!

The next day we got into small group and were told to "Devise a short piece that focused on physicality".

I was expecting a bit more to go on but that was it.

So, me and my group sat down and decided to tackle the extremely difficult issue of domestic violence (what else!) When it came to performing to the rest of the groups we sat and watched as they acted out being sandcastles or playgrounds with the audience laughing and smiling.

Then it was our turn.

Let's just say that the audience's reaction was slightly different.

When we had finished there was a hesitant appaluse and I heard one girl say "well, that was a bit violent!"

All in all though I think it went well and now I have to wait 2-3 weeks to hear back from them.

Sorry if this post has dragged on a bit but as I always say: if you're gonna have it. Have it LARGE

TTFN my lovers

Me, Myself and I

I never really understood why people became bloggers. It seemed like a strange hobby; telling the internet what's happened in your day as if it is a family member at the dinner table, but I've recently changed my mind (obviously!)
I realised that I was already practically blogging on my Facebook because I was updating my status so often, sad but true!
It's funny but even if no one reads this blog it's still a good feeling to write down what's going on because I usually have a LOT to say.
So, if you're reading this, get ready for some ranting in future posts
