Another Year.....

Usually at this time of year I get all sentimental and reflective.

This year I'm going to bullet just my best and worst.

2008 BEST

  • Moving to London
  • Marguerite
  • Summer nights in the park
  • Ruthie's "fucking good aim"
  • Taking Lotte to meet Ruthie Henshall
  • Summer holidays and lots of time with Lotte
  • Autumn colours at Wandsworth Common
  • The Carousel tour
  • Our day out in Wimbledon
  • Carousel opening night
  • Sunset Boulevard
  • Stage door moments
  • Hayley and Abi banter
  • New Year with old friends and lots of rose
2008 WORST
  • Working in the restaurant
  • Getting sacked
  • Lack of money
  • Bills
  • Hostel living
  • Mum's wedding
  • Illness
  • Jukebox freakin musicals
So it's all generally quite good, I like where I am, I like what I'm doing and I am so grateful for the kindness everyone has shown me in London.
Let's make this the best year ever :)

Its all gone.

It's all turned a bit shit in some ways, but in others, it's got better. Only 20 days till i go to London and everything will be evaded for all of 4 days, then back to life, back to shit and back to lies. It's all lies, everything. The fact that I have got better is a lie, I'm worse than ever, the fact that my parents are sorting things "amicably" is lies, they're just using me! Work is all lies, how one minute I am getting a management job, next minute I'm not.
Last night, Abi, Gemma and I decided that our next trip to London wasn't gonna be self indulgent and just a waste of money, we wanted to do something worthwhile. The outcome was a sponsored event entitled "8 shows, 180 autographs". We're basically gonna get people to sponsor us to watch 8 shows in 4 days and get 180 autographs from the casts, then auction the items either online or at a special event. We all think it's gonna be a success. The next issue we had was which charity to give to. We settled on giving half to Cancer Research and half to the ward on which Gemma's dad was on before he died. So we have 3 weeks to plan and iron everything out.
yeeehaaa! Good luck to meeee!
