Please don't stop the rain.

I must look like a maniac. Quite honestly, picture this; scrawny girl sitting on a garden bench with no coat and just an umbrella as a shield as the heavens open above. What must the neighbours think? I quite honestly love summer rain. There's nothing quite like it. The sun is great, don't get me wrong but then rain is so much more inspiring. It quenches the soul rather than dehydrating the mind. Then there's the simply gorgeous smell, like the air has been completely cleaned. It's beautiful. So, give it a go, sit out in the rain. It may look a bit ridiculous but, when enough people look ridiculous it starts to look normal.

Bow ties are cool

Ok, so I'll admit it... I recently started to watch Doctor Who. Before Matt Smith became the doctor I had zero interest but I thought I'd give it a go. Before, I was a proud none follow of the show, an individual thinker. Oh how wrong I was. It's BRILLIANT! Ok so the monsters and aliens aren't exactly my style but the comical dialogue can be hilarious and the chemistry between Amy Pond and the doctor never fails to entertain me. Last night was a particular gem; James Corden (My oh my he's getting everywhere these days) guest starred as the Doctor attempted to pass himself off as a human being with Amy Pond off somewhere in space. In the Doctors words "What could possibly go wrong?"

The Doctor pretending to be human had my sides splitting, from playing football (asking 'is that the one with the sticks') to talking to a cat (it was funnier than it sounds)  this got me wondering, like in every episode of the new series, why haven't I watched this before? If Sci- fi isn't your thing I still advise you to give it a go, it's witty, dramatic, emotional and has a lot of heart. Matt Smith shows off his incredible acting skills to show a funny, eccentric and at times even tortured Doctor and teamed up with the amazing Karen Gillian as Amy Pond, you really can't go wrong. 

I will still admit I prefer the more normal comical episodes to the real outer space ones. But that's just me but this still proves this show has something for everyone. In fact I have been such a convert I've even started watching confidential... how sad is that!? But of course confidential is very entertaining and we get to see a very fashionable Matt Smith and Karen Gillian in their element ( I love the way Karen dresses! ) . So if you haven't been converted to Who yet... come over to the dark side my friend. Enjoy the antics of the bow tie clad Doctor and his loveable assistant. Because as the Doctor says.... Bow Ties are cool!

Beauty and the Beast

Wow, I've been away for a while and where I still doubt anyone is reading this I won't let that stop me. So, the most interesting event that has occurred lately are auditions for this years musical. Beauty and the Beast. All. Out. Disney. I was quite shocked by this choice but who doesn't enjoy a good Disney musical? Well... lots of people but that isn't the point. My love of acting once again found my waiting with anticipation outside the audition room. The competition was rife to say the least, girls swarming around me like flies exclaiming their lines with varying success and as my friend put it "I felt like we were in a nursery". But eventually we stumbled into the audition room and performed our piece as far as we know... it went well. 

Then of course there was the singing auditions. I am not the best singer but maybe I should have thought of that before I was sitting in a crowded room listening to a number of people who would get into 'the X Factor' practice their songs. I was one note short of rocking back and forth huddled in a corner. As for the audition it was..... ok. Oh, who am I kidding, it was terrible and an experience I never wish to repeat. Cast list day should be fun. 

Beauty and the beast was my favourite Disney movie. Belle was my ultimate princess mainly because... she wasn't a princess. She was a normal bookworm with a heart of gold and a sense of humour something I found Cinderella and Snow White really lacked. There's a real message to the story too when you think about it, looks don't matter, it's the beauty on the inside that counts. Everyone should remember that a little more.
