A tale of life...

Wow, so much has happened since my last post! I don't even know where to begin!

The snow melted, taking away the beautiful winter wonderland that I'd grown so accustomed to (and the welly wearing weather!) Christmas flew by too! Christmas was quite wonderful, I love christmas time mostly because it bring the whole family together to indulge in the festive spirits... oh and there's also the case of getting some lovely presents too!

So after Christmas was over and everyone was in the process of gorging themselves on left over chocolates, I found myself in a weird situation. I don't even know how to describe it. Well, if you've read my blog for a long time you'll know the story of 'Lover Boy'. Well he seemed interested all the way up to Christmas and to be honest I was warming to him, that's the honest truth. But then I start to get the feeling something wasn't right, he seemed quite interested with my friend, he kept mentioning her. In the end I was just like, so do you like her? I mean, she was single and everything so it was fine, I suppose. But I honestly didn't think he'd replied "Yeah, I like her."

His answer made me feel... strange. My heart started to beat faster, I felt sort of angry, sort of upset but all the while scolding myself because what right did I have to feel like that? I had no right at all. None. And it's bothering me even now... not as much but I have this nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach and it won't go away. Feel free to tell me how stupid I'm being. I all ready know.

So I've just focused on line learning, watching Audrey in Sabrina and Grace Kelly in High society to take my mind off everything... ah winter movies <3

I hope you've all had a happy new year! And a good Christmas! And next time I shall inform you that I may have completed one of my more shallow goals in life... can someone say Serena Van Der Woodsen Hair?

Please comment :)

P.S I'm absolutely loving this song at the minute

The wonders of Drama.

Hey everybody!

Well a lot has happened since my last post drama wise...

*Beauty and the beast was a huge success! There were moments when we really thought it wasn't going to come together but as the saying goes, it was all right on the night. I grew so close to all of the cast, we became like a little family that we were all sad to let go of. Luckily, auditions for the next play are in two weeks! So I'm very excited.

*For my drama A Level we are staging a production of Our Country's Good. It's a really wonderful play about the first convict fleet to arrive in Australia and how they put on a play and the relationships between convicts and officers. I'm playing Mary, which is one of the main parts... I was ecstatic when I found that out! :)

*Also on a bigger scale, a student theatre company in the region are going to be putting on As you like it. Auditions also next week and I really want to audition but I'm SO nervous! - I'm just going to push myself, it's worth a try isn't it?

Sorry if my drama talk bores you but I just love acting! It lets you escape and tell other peoples story in a unique way... I just love it ♥

In other news I can't stop listening to Pixie Lott's version of "Forget You" . I think I over did it on the replay button :)



I'll hopefully write again soon :)

My new musical obsession

Short and snappy post today; I am in love with this new singer/band I discovered on youtube. They do covers of popular songs as well as their own original stuff and I really just can't get enough! Tyler Ward and his band have been on youtube for a while now and I can't understand why they haven't been singed yet, it's better than some of the stuff out there right now and I am officially a fan! Plus Tyler Ward is really cute... thought I'd just slip that in there...

Maybe I am a little old fashioned...

I'll admit it, I love myself some vintage. As much as I love the twenty first century and all the opportunities and technology it brings I just like the nostalgia of the past; the clothes, the music and the simpler life. Nothing makes me happier than staying in on a cold winters night and watching an Audrey Hepburn film or Casablanca.

I've been thinking though, could I have actually lived back then? I really don't think so, there's so many things in my life that I wouldn't have the guts to give up, like the internet and all the positive aspects of our society as it is. Would I enjoy the movies and clothes so much if I had actually been there?

Though if I had some sort of Doctor Who time machine (including the delightful Matt Smith maybe?) I would love to visit...

The early 20's in America - the fun, the flappers and the cool jazz music.

The 50's - it just seems so inviting, I don't know why but I would have loved to see what it was like living the 1950's lifestyle.

The 1960's - THE CLOTHES! I would have loved to see Beatle mania in full swing, the peace movement and the music up close.

If you had a time machine which decade would you want to go back to? Any events? Have you ever thought what it would be like to live in a different time?

Empire State Of Mind

I have seen, heard and read about so many interpretations of one of the greatest city's on earth; New York. For example the rich kids of the upper east side in Gossip Girl where luxury drips from every bendels bag and the city is their ultimate play ground. The best of the best is displayed. The best of Manhattan (Central Park, the Met, Fifth Avenue) and the best of Brooklyn (Arts Cafe's and Mr Dan Humphrey) it all has a magical air about it that just makes me want to hop on a plane! 

Then there's the city (all be it, the city in the 1950's) through Holden Caufield's eyes. In 'The Catcher in the rye' the character of Holden portrays New York as a cold, dark and dangerous city of sin. A place without innocence where no one can be trusted and there's an almost fake edge to the beautiful parts of town. Though this is partially because of Holden's isolated state of mind it still makes me think in a city that big where one person really counts for nothing, it could be a terrifying place to be. (By the way if you've never read the catcher in the rye, I strongly recommend it!) 

Finally, a song that regularly plays  on my ipod. Empire State Of Mind (part one and two!) is so full of the inspiration New York can give someone. The dreams, the confidence but also how it can swallow you and spit you out. So from what I can tell New York is a city of many faces, both inspirational and devastating. I hope I get to find out for myself one day. Have you ever been to NYC? What were your experiences? Please comment!

"These streets will make you feel brand new,

big lights will inspire you, 

lets hear it for New York, New York, New York!"
