Nicked off [info]blipintime , thanks!

You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.

Cutty cut cut... )

Sorry if this is tl;dr but I so agreed with this meme! I talk to you guys all the time and know your fave TV shows, what you thought of film 'n', if you're stressed/happy/angry etc but not your ages, jobs, marital status.... So plese fill this out if you feel like sharing! Love you guys!!!

Oh Merlin Series 2, I doth love thee more every episode!  This epiosde was amazing, as always, I won't go into details but this series is immense. Loveage.

And I don't really know why, but today I started looking at my options for after my undergraduate studies  (I figure I'll have to start applying in a year or so, so might as well start looking!). For those of you that don't know, I am in my first year of a Bachelor's in English and Drama and in the past I've always thought about doing a years PGCE (to become a teacher), taking a gap year and then maybe going on to study Drama Therapy for a few years. But I've really started thinking about stage management as an option. I mean, I've never really been on the side of the line in drama that is 'technical', more the 'perfromance' or 'theory' sides, but I really enjoyed my stint as Deputy Stage Manager last year in a professional (albeit small) theatre. I also am really locing studying 'Contemporary Scene' in drama, which does what it says on the tin really, but we have looked more at 'theory' and 'technical' parts of drama in that module and it really interests me. Which isn't to say I'm going off performing-or English for that matter. But yeah, stage management keeps popping up in my head.I could always do the teaching and then SM. I've looked at MA's in 'Stage Management' and there are only 2 places in the UK that I can do it, and they're both Drama Schools (so hard to get into and generally a bit pompous). One being CSSD in London and the other being RWCD in Cardiff (I'd love to go to Wales and study SM!) I suppose I'll have to get some more experience so that a) I can see if it's really for me and b) to get more experience, to help with applications if I decide that's what I want to do! I'll let you guys know! Sorry for the BLAH.

ADAM LAMBERT'S NEW SINGLE. OMG. LOVE. this is all. (I love AL, go download 'Time For Miracles', when you can)

Just so you guys know- I love uni. I love Pompey. I love being independent. I love being a student! Of course I miss my friends and family, and my hometown, and some things are hard, but I can;t help but feel I'm finally moving on. I love my home, I do, but I think I really got stuck in a rut back at home, I got a bit depressed with my life- mundane and repetitave, but now at uni I finally feel like I'm some way to achieveing my dreams, whatever they may be for that day! (Whether it's SM or Drama Therapy or Acting etc....)

Anyway, you've probably heard enough from moi. I love you guys lots, be safe and love life! :)

I know I haven't posted for ages, this is because I still don't have internet at home... UNTIL NOW. *parties* I HAS INTERNET AT HOME THAT IS FAST AND STUFF OMG WOOP YAY etc.

Just a quick post though because I have a 10 am lecture tomorrow and I'm cream crackered! A couple of things my loves...

1. HAPPY BIRTHDAY [info]electrictoes! (I realise this is over an hour late, but I have already text her and I went to her fammo birthday meal last sat and am going to her party this sat, so I am good friend, no?) I LOVE YOU PAULA :D

2. RIP Stephen Gatley. OMG this is so sad, I cannot believe he died, at only 33. For those of you that don't know, Stephen Gatley was an Irish singer and one fifth of boyband Boyzone (Who were huge in the UK in the 90's and reformed a year or so ago) and died the other morning when he didn't wake up from his sleep on holiday with his partner. It's a sad story as he was a great talent, and always seemed such a lovely guy, so I'm sure he will be missed. I saw him in 'Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat' in 2002, and can't believe that that beautiful young man, who helped my love of musical theatre (Jospeh was the second musical I ever saw) is now dead. I hope he is at peace. My condolences go out to his family and friends, especially his civil partner Andrew Cowles and the other four members of Boyzone, who must be devastated. Rest in Peace.

3. Last and not least, how are you guys?? Seriously, PLEASE leave me comments or links to your reccent blog posts, because I feel I have been a bad friend, and you know that I love you really!!!! <3

Day 3 of my happiness meme! Things that made me happy between the time I posted yesterday and now:

*Spent the afternoon and evening with [info]electrictoesyesterday! We nearly got eaten by a man-eating pizza (Ok, it was our fault because we put it in the microwave... even though [info]rickman_101and [info]tiggerbrasilftold us not to...) but we had a fun day nonetheless! :D

*Got new jeans, a coat and a few other bits for uni! Ahhh it's actually scary how much stuff I have to take with me... eek!

*My friend posted a video of when I went to 'Go Ape' last week (Go Ape is a sort of high-wire adventure thing... just watch the video...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmyqgrWo0HQ

*A couple of cute Nuke/ATWT moments made me happy. I mean, sometimes I do get fed up of the outrageously dramatic stroylines but boy, get Van Hansis and Jake SIlbermann in a room, and give them a juicy scene, then they are AWESOMESAUCE! (And you also get lots of pretty!) But they had an argument scene, and then a make up scene with a greta kiss in yesterdays epi, so that makes me a happy bunny. Also looking forward to the whole Mason storyline... hoping they don't do the typical love triangle thing though... Because Luke and Noah have been through much worse so I doubt one prof is gonna split them up! (When did this turn into a fandom post???)

* I GOTS MY HAIRCUT XD Nothing dramatically different, what I had last time.... but I likes getting it cut. Actually I hate going to the hairdressers, because I hate people touching my hair, but I found this really nice one where they give you free drinks, and magazines FROM THIS YEAR and sometimes THIS MONTH (OMGZ) and all the staff are really friendly and cut my hair well, and it's not MEGA expensive... pics soon maybe...  I just need to colour it again now...

I think that's it for today! Love you bbs!

Happy happy happy!

*Spending the day with my bro made me happy, I also got to see my aunty and my nan and Grandad... which was nice :)

*Went to oceana last night. It's my favourite club... they had karaoke and I danced the night away with my friends! It did make me a bit woobie though, cos that'll be the last time before everyone's gone for uni! And it was extra nice ebcause I think I became closer to 3 people in my friendship group that night... y'know, people you speak to and consider a friend, but maybe aren't that close to?

*Looking forward to seeing [info]electrictoes today! :D

*Got another phonecall from [info]calligladthis morning, yay!

*My friend Tom is on whatsoninthetare.com.... go and read his blog! (http://www.whatsonintheatre.com/2009/09/22/see-you-at-christmas) especially if you too, like theatre! And he promies to update more often!

I think that's it for the past 24 hours. But I can safely say I'm a very happy girl atm! Now I must go or I'll miss my bus...

I can't believe I forgot to say in my earlier post that yesterday was the anniversary of McDean SE Day!

So happy anniversary McDean fans! Can't believe it's been a WHOLE year! I miss them so much. Maybe they'll be back one day? XD I've gotten out on the soap reccently and that's sad. I guess I just didn't have time for a while, and I dunno. I missed Hannah and Justin leaving and Zoe and Sarah are scheduled to leave soon, so I'll probably not know what happened there either and all 4 of these characters were major players in my 'obsessed-with-hollyoaks' phase. (Which included everything from Lisa Hunter self harming, Joe and Olivia dying in the fire, Mandy and Tony splitting up, Becca and Justin, McDean, Niall and the McQueen's, Max and ClARE, Max's Death... and so much more...) Anyway.

There's a lovely post about it on Digital Spy (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/a177962/remembering-mcdean-happy-se-day.html)

And a nice little pic from me. Because... Well, James and Guy are HOT. (Me? Shallow? Like a fucking puddle.)

ALL MY FRIENDS HAVE GONE AND LEFT ME AND... GUH. :'( I really didn't think I'd be this upset, but I just think about all the good times I've had with them, and now we're all at different Unis... and it's all a bit sad really. Uni is a weird time because, well it's change I suppose. It will be exciting, but fuck, I'm nervous. </3

But, on a happier note, I had a lovely day out with [info]electrictoes and

[info]tazza_di_joyesterday. Met [info]tazza_di_jo at Waterloo station where she had successfully gotten 3 tickets to Speaking In Tongues with John Simm (Him off Life On Mars and The Master on Doctor Who) and Lucy Cohu (Alice Carter off Torchwood: COE). Anyways we went to Kingston to meet [info]electrictoes and we all headed off to her student flat (v nice) and then to Nandos for a late lunch/early dinner thing. Which was well yum. Back off to central London again and we took a long walk to the theatre, pausing to watch the Giant Chess and Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square. So... to the play... it was actually rather brilliant. Really clever and intruiging, and Lucy Cohu really stood out to me, she was great. But all the actors were good, and I found that I was actually getting myself lost in the play, completely forgetting that we were sitting in the front row and had a slight crick in my neck. So yes, I reccomend it. GO GO GO! Pictures anyone? Here's [info]electrictoes post + pictures http://electrictoes.livejournal.com/293439.html?#cutid1 .

Oh and how did you all think Merlin was last night? Of course I didn't see it because I was at the play but I went to the screening so... (Had enough of me gloating yet? XD) I personally really loved the episode. Oh, and talking of Bradley and Colin, [info]calliglad and I are writing an RPF fic....we have no title yet, but I can reveal that it includes Bradley going to Ireland. And lots of Curly Wurlys. :D Look out for that. (Also she's now in Swansea, and I miss her but don't tell her!)

Love you all! Have a nice, relaxing Sunday! (OMG this time next week I'll be in my new house in Pompey....eek)

*Haven't been on for a few days but cba/don't have time to go all through my flist right now, so if there is anything important I must read (whether it be about your life or a fic etc) send me linkage please!

*RIP Patrick Swayze. Although, of course, I didn't know you, and would never consider myself a 'huge fan' Dirty Dancing remains one of my favourite films of all time, and one I think every teen girl should watch at some point. I also loved Ghost, surprised by your talent. You will be sorely missed in the acting world, and by your family and friends I'm sure.

*It's 1 am. I'm fairly tired. Been out lots in the past week, including getting in late a few times. I know I have to be up at 7am for the first time in AGES tomorrow, so I can go to 'Go Ape', a high wire forest assault course thing, which is very physical and tiring....So whay aren't I going sleep? Why am I on Livejournal? Why am I planning to read a book after this? Surely there's enough hours in the day.... Please tell me other people do this?

*SQUEE. I saw 'Dorian Gray' last Friday. Reviews at a later date.

*Finally got sent my loan through (well the bit of paper that says I get one) and I've been angsting about it for ages because it's been taking so long so I was really happy when I got it... until I realised they put down that I'm not going Portsmouth... Basically they've paid my 1st choice uni which I didn't get into *facepalm*. I did tell them. I rang them AND sent a letter. WTF else could I have done? Then tried like a gazillion times to call them today, and there were ALWAYS busy. Well FY Studnet Finance England! And I start uni in a week and a half.... *headdesk* I GIVE UP. *failsatlife*

*SO BEHIND ON FANDOM. MUST GO OUT LESS.

Anyways, I love you all.... :D

You know when you go to do something, and then forget what it is you were going to do? Yeah I've just done that.

Sitting here happily watching Jonathan Creek in GOLD (Don't ask, I love Alan Davies and murder mysteries so much I will stay up this late) and then think I want to do something which involves my laptop- which I had turned off about an hour previously. I turn my laptop on, and 2 minutes later I'm looking at my screensaver (Merlin Series 2 Promos) thinking "What did I turn this on for?"

20 minutes later I'm still sitting here thinking "URGH. OMG. Why did I turn this on?"

Just had to rant about this, because it's annoying me.

(Also I haven't posted for a few days and I feel guilty. I love you guys)

Heylo!

Just had to post my immediate opinion of part one of the new ITV adaption of Emily Bronte's 'Wuthering Heights', for two reasons. 1. Because I am an English student. And I studied Wuthering Heights a year ago and got full marks for the paper. 2. BURN IS IN IT XD (And I love Burn. Who doesn't?)

Anyways...am I impressed, you probably want to know? No, not really. For a starters they got rid of the main narrator, Mr Lockwood, who I believe is an essential character for any adaption, as he is the viewers way into the world of the Earnshaws, Heathcliffs and Lintons. They cut out a considerable amount of classic dialogue, no I'm not saying they should have read the book word for word but, some of the best known and well loved quotes were not included. But the main thing that really irked me was the fact that Cathy and Heathcliff kept KISSING. KISSING. gah! *flails in despair*. The whole point of Cathy and Heathcliff's love is that it is completely beyond any physical boundaries, it is other wordly, it is Romantic not romantic! They don't SNOG, they don't have SEX and they definately don't hold hands and FROLIC in the moors. (Instead they sit and brood, and wind up the Lintons...) Their love is supernatural, and un-defineable, it is not lust!!! *and my inner literary geek dies*

However, in case you think I'm a tad snobbish (oh shush! any good English teacher or student will tell you the same things as me...) there were things I did like about it. For one, coming from a drama students point of view, the acting was brilliant. When I saw the trailers, I didn't think much of Charlotte Riley as Cathy (but obviously no one can be as bad as Juliet Binnoche from 1992....*shivers*) but actually she grew on me and I'm thorughly impressed. Most of the cast were seasoned, and well-known TV actors (even Tom Payne who played Linton Heathcliff has popped up in Skins and the like) but I had never seen her before, and she impressed me. Burn Gorman as Hindley Earnshaw was obviously brilliant. (Biased? Moi?!) Although the clothes and posh accent made me giggle a few times! He's actually such a great versatile actor and I'm so happy to see him doing well after Torchwood and Bleak House.

Oh, and I'm going to be stoned for this but I hated Tom Hardy's Heathcliff. He was not dark, broody, mysterious, boisterous, cynical, charming or strong enough as I have always percieved Heathcliff to be. Or maybe it was the fact he kept kissing Cathy. And he spoke an awful lot didn't he?

Anyway, part two tomorrow.... I will enjoy the Isabella/Heathcliff but apart from that I will despise over anythign second generation (because I hate it by proxy....long story...) And so if I post about it tomorrow it'll most likely be "Heathcliff get over yourself." "Catherine Linton you annoy me." "Edgar Linton and Linton Heathcliff don't be so fucking weedy." And... " BRING BACK CATHY!"

(Oh and quickly I see Eve Myles new thing starts tomorrow, and it looks quite interesting.... although in the trailer she is kissing another man...RHYS IS NOT PLEASED.)

Over and out xxxxxx 

P.S- Good Luck to Van Hansis (Luek Snyder on ATWT) tonight in the Daytime Emmy's where he is nominated for Best Supporting Actor (after being nominated as 'Best Young Actor' for the past 2 years and not winning). Although he's on a frankly CRAPPY soap, that's a sinking ship, with a dubious current storyline, there's no denying he's a great actor who really, really deserves to win. HOPE AND PRAY guys! :D

So... random life update because I'm a bad friend...

I got into Portsmouth Uni *dances* It was my insurance, so I obviously didn't do as well as I wanted, but, hey, I got a uni place and I'm lucky. Hope you all got the results/places you wanted. *opens champagne*

Other life news? Um. OH! Reccently watched 'A Very Potter Musical'- a spoof Harry Potter musical, which is hilarious. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you type it into YouTube AND WATCH. I completely love Draco ("What do you think about that, MOONSHOES?"), Ron ("Everytime I look at her I feel a pain in my heart, and I know it's her fault. THAT BITCH!") and Voldemort ("You think killing people will make them like you, but it doesn't, it just makes them dead.") It is ULTIMATE LOLZ. XD

Also anyone else wtach Strictly Come Dancing? They've just announced this series' contestants...



YAY VINCE FROM QAF IS A CONTESTANT. (Also yays for Ricky Groves and Ricky Whittle...)

I watched The X Factor on Saturday. I'm not sure whether I like the new 'audition in front of an audience' thing, I mean, yeah it shows whether the contestants are good performers or if they get too nervous but I think it makes it too like Britain's Got Talent, and I sort of miss the old X Factor. But hey, at least there's something HALF DECCENT on TV to watch.

I can't wait 'til the 6th September (MERLIN SERIES 2 PREVIEW DAY WITH COLIN MORGAN AND BRADLEY JAMES!!! and [info]calliglad, [info]electrictoes and [info]tazza_di_jo of course!):D

Well, I think that's all for now... Speak soon!

P.S If you like Merlin or Bradley James or Colin Morgan, please Read and Comment my Bradley/Colin fic, http://captains-girl.livejournal.com/26970 Thanks! :D
