"I Dreamed A Dream In Times Gone By"

As my acting experience widens, I thought it would be fitting to jot down some roles I would love to get the opportunity to play... next year at Theatre by the Lake we get the opportunity to take part in a musical, favourites for this being 'Sweeney Todd', 'Grease', 'Wicked' and 'Annie'. I would love to be in all of these (except maybe Wicked, as I've never seen it).

These are some roles I would LOVE to play in musicals:

Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber Of Fleet Street - Mrs. Lovett
Annie - Grace; Miss. Hannigan
Grease - Rizzo
Oliver! - Nancy
Mamma Mia! - Sophie; Rosie
Glee - Rachel Berry
Hairspray - Amber Von Tussle; Penny Pingleton
Moulin Rouge - Satine

"A Friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed."

First post in AGES!! So, I patched things up with Charli and Thom... we're friends again and to be honest it's like we never spent 3/4 of a year apart. It just shows how strong our friendship once was. We've gone back to talking about anything and everything just like old times. And I have a new friend called Pippa who is like my best friend! She's amazing, we can talk about anything and everything and not care :) xx

Also, an update... Niall and I are no longer together. He dumped me 15-9-2010 (17 months after I asked him out) ... it was a good ride and I won't go into complete detail just yet of how this break up effected me... let's just say I was really bad for a while but then I realised hey, he's not worth it. Screw him. So ... I dropped it. It was still hard having to deal with the property of his I still own... and vice versa... but it's fine so far....

Now I've moved on. He could boil his head in the Styx and I wouldn't care. He's welcome to his slut of an ex he is now dating :)

And I have bigger (metaphorical) fish to fry :)

"The One That Got Away.."

Summer after high school when we first met
We make out in you mustang to radio head
And on my 18th birthday we bought matching tattoos
Used to steal your parent's liquor and climb to the roof
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day i'd be losing you

In another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises be us against the world
In another life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away.

I was [?] you were my johnny cash
Never one without the other we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on...woe
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you down town singin the blues
It's time to face the music i'm no longer your muse

But in another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises be us against the world
In another life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away.

The one the one the one

The one that got away.

All his money can't buy me a time machine. no
Can't replace you with a million rings. no
I shoulda told you what you meant to me. woe
Cause now I pay the price.

In another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises be us against the world
In another life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away.

The one, the one, the one

In another life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away



Guess what happened to me in the past month? :(

"Schoolbag In Hand, She Leaves Home In The Early Morning, Waving Goodbye With An Absent-Minded Smile"

Well today was a total waste of time!! I got up bright an early ready to go the my first day at sixth form - the first day of proper government education for 4 years. Picture this, got my school bag packed - 4 notebooks, pencil case, reading book, drink, money for lunch - and then I get there to find we're only staying for assembly! You can imagine how pissed off I was! We sat through an hour long assembly about rules and regulations, were given a timetable and then we were sent home. I'm so far hating the lack of organisation!!!

Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

" They Might Be Bigger, But We're Faster And Never Scared "

I haven't blogged in a while. A lot has happened, but truth be told I haven't found suitable lyrics to entitle with. I swear Monday night will be a LONG post about my first day at SIXTH FORM!!!!

For now, I shall leave you with my current favourite song and life-lines. (This is the song I'm relating to at the moment. The bit in BOLD is the bit I most relate to.)

CHANGE
Taylor Swift

And it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you
Somebody else gets what you wanted again
You know it's all the same, another time and place
Repeating history and you're getting sick of it

But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through

Because these things will change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win

We'll sing hallelujah!
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh

So we've been outnumbered, raided and now cornered
It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair
We're getting stronger now from things they never found
They might be bigger but we're faster and never scared

You can walk away and say we don't need this
But there's something in your eyes says we can beat this

'Cause these things will change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win

We'll sing hallelujah!
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh

Tonight we stand up on our knees
To fight for what we worked for all these years
And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives
Will we stand up champions tonight?

It was the night things changed, can you see it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down
It's a revolution, throw your hands up, 'cause we never gave in

We'll sing hallelujah!
We sang hallelujah!
Hallelujah!

"I've Been Hurt So Many Times, Lets Be Realistic I'm Only A Statistic To You."

Just a little blog post to say - I'm not cut out for being the only girl in a household! This weekend Mum went away and immediately I sorta automatically was given her role. I did some cleaning, all the cooking, and occupying my brother yesterday whilst she wasn't there. I'm not complaining - it was just a shock.

Anywho :) How's everybody ?

"Here We Are At The End, Say Goodbye To All Your Friends. Here We Go Watching The Sun Go Round, Sitting On A Rooftop, Making Time Stop...."

Just a little blog to say; sometimes the choices we make are heartbreaking, but most of the time they work out for the better. Every cloud has a silver lining, right?

Recently I've done a lot of thinking : A LOT of thinking. About those people I used to call friends. I know around February and March I did a lot of angry posts, and bi-polar posts about how I didn't need my friends to be happy and that I wouldn't spare a thought for them, nor would I miss them.

Well... the first part was true.

Truth be told, I miss them more than a heart misses a beat.
I miss laughing with them about Alex Davies' hairstyle.
I miss swooning over people in bands and pretending we were them...
I miss driving two hours to see them, feeling excited and planning what to do the entire way.
I miss going into town and buying the most random things.
I miss sitting in parks and 'boy watching'.
I miss eating candy in the rain.
I miss having those heart to hearts only a friend can provide.
I miss sharing clothes and make up.
I miss silly little arguments about whether the string on a guitar is a or c.
I miss singing loudly and out of tune to songs.
I miss getting ready for parties together.
I miss dying each other's hair.
I miss going to the cinema and laughing in unison at the film.
I miss being criticised for my weirdness.
I miss crying together over past relationships.
I miss watching chick flicks and eating ice cream.
I miss laying out on the grass and writing songs.
I miss pretending to be three years younger to get a bus ride cheaper.
I miss my feet hurting from epic shopping trips.
I miss playing top trumps in the back of a car.
I miss eating chocolate coated strawberries (and sticking our heads in the chocolate fountain)
I miss getting drunk and dancing in heels on a wall.
I miss three of us sharing a single bed.
I miss complaining about the lack of space in said bed.
I miss walking miles to a skate ramp and getting stuck at the top of it.
I miss random phone calls to random brother's mates.
I miss buying childish cups from Claires accessories and refusing to part from them.
I miss pretending to be said random brother and his friend.
I miss playing little big planet and making it an epic movie.
I miss dressing up randomly.
I miss photoshoots.
I miss shooting music videos in the woods.
I miss rolling around the football pitch and getting filthy.

I miss last summer, and all it should have been, and all it wasn't. The tears, the heartaches, the laughter, the smiles, the dancing, the singing, the groaning, the fights, the hugs, the talks, the shouts, the stupidness, the sensibleness.

The friends that once were, and never could be again.

RIP last summer.

"It's the end of the summer, it's the end of it all. Those days are gone, it's over now. We're moving on...."




Now who will wipe away my tears??
