Crowd: Awesome! They clapped and laughed at all the right moments and more :D

TONIGHT was the second official performance and I was so nervous my teeth hurt.

I know my blogs are always about production but hey, its the only exciting thing happening....:(

Have you guys actually listened to the lyrics of BOOM BOOM POW?

"Beats! so big I'm steppin' on Leprechauns"..... Better not play any music around Fergie on St Patty's Day! :D - BADA-CHA? I'm sorry that was lame.

I have a maths sac tomorrow maybe...so today's BLOG is short and sweet :)

Alf

Mysh bzi!

James' drawing about his trip from Market Fresh (L)

TOMORROW = MATINEE = LOTS OF CHILDREN = FORGOTTEN LINES = BAD GASTON.

Okay so after months of blood sweat and tears (not so much blood) its production week and I'm bloody pumped and freaked out. Thank god tomorrow is only for little primary school kids ...but then again they can be so harsh D:

YESTERDAY was our last rehearsal and might I say it was the best one to date despite the stress. I got some eyebrows drawn on by Anne at the last minute which weren't such a good idea, I looked more like Alf then I did a Gaston.

Today was rather nice becauseee I had two free periods because the Ms. Ryan was away which was something I really needed. I locked myself in a carrel and did my homework. I was anticipating this because my horoscope said I would have some good luck and when I saw it I was like FREEESS? Teehee!

Sorry totally rambling on.
2 days until performance night #1 FJAEIFJA;EWLFJ

Driving Miss Tran

Horos!

That's right, I went there.

My peoplleeeeee - its been a while ;)
Well yesterday we had our first full dress rehearsal and I was off pitch all day so that was a bit sad but hey we got through it. After this Cherleen Jill (two of my three silly girls) and I proceeded to Cherz' lovely point cook home to celebrate her birthday. It was a wonderful night of keytar by the fireplace... then we got her itunes going and broke out a sweat on el dance floor.


TODAY I DROVE SUMMORE. I believe I have now mastered the art of parking (not reverse parking...we shall discuss that later). But yes, dad wont let me drive on main roads, I'm still stuck in residential streets and dad STILL tells me there is a stop sign 50 metres ahead and STILL holds onto the steering wheel when he gets nervous. BAH.

FOUR days until performance night #1 - YIKES

ENGRISH LESSON

AHOJ!

GUYS IM CURRENTLY WATCHING SYNCHRONIZE SWIMMING ON ONE HD AND IT IS SO COOL. GOGOGOGOGOGOGO!


Today was actually a really good day. I had a lot of fun just being at school. I was rather hyperactive all day. Starting with double Engrish Claude started talking about Eddie Murphy's Delirious and farts and we were in no state to discuss the movie Emma. Ending the day with double chem was AWESOME because we did some organic chemistry and played around with some chemicals then we GOT TO LEAVE EARLY (which didn't mean much because i had to stay back for rehearsals.

THE LAST AFTER-SCHOOL REHEARSALS UNTIL OUR FIRST NIGHT PERFORMANCE. We bought some coke in our free period. I haven't had coke in yonks and it was a really bad idea because i would not stop laughing and I bet there will be no sleep tonight.

GUYS HOW SAD IS NEIGHBOURS. OMG THE CAKE AND THE OMG. DECLAN YOU MAKE ME SO SAD. The idol add is really good :D So maybe I'll get into it this year. OKAY I'M OFF TO GO BUY SOME NEW SCHOOL SHOES! I dunno if I'm going to get Harrisons this time. We'll see :) But i definitely need knew ones since its started pouring down :|
SIX days until performance night #1

Horsie

Ambo!

Timer lagged.

Hello my good people! Well this week was rather ES HAYCH EYE TEE but regardless, today was quite nice. The weather didn't play up until home time as usual when there was no where to run for cover but hey, i love that wet dog smell. I ran around the city looking like Mother Mary with my scarf draped over my head.



Above is an image of my nephews mistaking me for a horse. All in the name of love.
Seven days until production night #1. Officially freaking out.

Short blog. Watching Emma for english. TOODLES..

MastaCook

Apa Khabar!

Pwoahh, bad lighting!

Now I thought it was more than appropriate to greet you in Malay today as today is a special day. MASTACHEF FINALE :) Go Poh! I've got fifty riding on her so let's home she gets her game on. And as Claudia and I concluded - Poh is already a MastaChef where as Julie is sort of a MastaCook :)

I began my day back at tutor - never productive :D Then Daddy let me drive which got me really excited because there were L plates up even though they were the wrong way 'round. After that I went to the gym and totally ran my little heart out. No seriously I think my heart fell out of my ass and got back in without me knowing.

I have to write an essay for debating now - why do I sign myself up to these things?

Anyone watch Glee tonight too? I'm waiting for that :)

Goblet of Love

Marhaba!

Come seek us where our voices sound, We cannot sing above the ground, And while you're searching, ponder this: We've taken what you'll sorely miss, An hour long you'll have to look, And to recover what we took, But past an hour - the prospect's black Too late, it's gone, it won't come back

This is only going to be a short blog because I am currently watching HP GOBLET OF FIAH - favourite Harry Potter film to this day. Well there isn't much to blog on anyway.

I went to yet again another rehearsal session for the production which ironically was not so productive. The director got a little cheezed off because we were forgetting our lines :(

I also watched the first half of Get Smart before beign interrupted by Princess Diaries 2 - gosh i must seem like I have the hots for Anne Hathaway.

Konichiwa

My most sincere apologies for not blogging last night, I was pretty cheezed off. The day sucked and I didn't wanna go and ruin your nights :(
On a lighter note - I WATCHED HAIRY POTTER. Result - Good, but disappointing for HP standards. The effects were fantastic, acting had its moments but they left out quite a bit and added unnecessary scenes. This of course won't stop anyone from anticipating the next one.

Hermione flustered - once again.

It was hard enough focusing on the story line without the squealing, stomping, screaming girls by my side. The people around me were so bizarre-

Ginny to Harry: Take my hand....
Extremely awkward, sentimental moment...
Girl in row behind : ...LESBIAN.

How uncouth =="

Hairy Potter

Guten Tag

So I know there's this massive hype about the new HP & Half Blood Prince movie but the show must go on! The show being my tiny blog. To satisfy your muggle taste buds I have re-enacted the scenes involving Harry with his wand and a new and improved monocle (as above). (My timer wouldn't work so I took the shot with my toe, explains a lot.)

Today I bought tickets for my family so they would get front row for the production. If YOU want tickets to see the St. Aloysius 09 production of Beauty and the Beast (WHICH YOU WON'T) facebook me okie dokie? Or anyone from St. Als.

SO WHO WATCHED MASTASHEF? Go Poh, Go Poh, Go Poh. I really liked Justine though! :( Anywayssss despite doing summore Matt White impersonations today "Lovely pallette, true falvours!" - I finished at the sunny time of FIFTH PERIOD :) so off off to MC to hang with ma homies. I've realised that Melbourne Central doesn't get old if the right people are there, and I'm always lucky enough to have the right people there :)

After arriving at home I proceeded to watch Harold and Kumar - Guantanamo Bay which might I add was rather good (only because SLUMDAWG wouldn't work damn Blockbuster). I'm not usually into crass humour but this was crude humour - so it was okay. You know what I noticed? Landon from A Walk to Remember could be related to Barney from How I Met Your Mother/ Nick from H&K2. Don't agree? Let me know THROUGH COMMENT! Ahhhh, me and my cheap ploys to be famous.

Billy Madison

Hola!

Billy Madison: Back to school! Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool! I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight! Ohhhh, back to school! Back to school! Back to school! Well, here goes nothing!



Firstly I apologise if the format of my blogs appear inconsistent but I'm a newcomer and I'm finding my feet, so pardon me for now. Oh and my photo booth pictures may often feature me in a grey jumper - I own many in which I sleep, so don't think I'm all dirty and don't change my clothes MKAY!? :)



Moving on to something a little more ... appropriate - TODAY WAS DAY ONE OF SKEWL. First day of Unit 2 OVER as Claudia pointed out. It wouldn't have been bad if I didn't spend the whole day contemplating something really silly... UH UH readers don't think that's going in my blog - I'm open but not THIS open. As usual I'm probably making something of nothing but still. I HAD A BFG MEETING OVER THIS OKAY. :(

If I asked you to picture yourself kissing someone...anyone you know...could you do it? BECAUSE I CAN'T. I don't know why. That wasn't totally random, I promise.


Last night I watched the film MILK (recommended by Leeyanglee) which is based on the true life of Harvey Milk, the first homosexual politician EVAS.
Really beautiful movie, if you watch it (which you will) look out for Scott HE IS A BABBBEEE.

Oh and i promised I'd put up some photos from Lee and Mt's birthday bash so here are some for all your perving needs.

Trust me when I say this was only a third of the people
(statistics may have been guesstimated)


I don't have many photos with Gus so I thought I'd put this one up...TEEHEE.

Sorry once again for making absolutely no sense for the larger portion of this blog.

Licenced to kill.

Zdravo!

Guyyyyssss JOANNE IS LEGALLY ALLOWED ON VICROADS. Yes I did go for my learners permit. "About time" I know, at the rusty old age of 17 you would expect more from me but I was proud either way :). The waiting line was horribly time consuming buuutttt I got to totally perv on this totally babe boy TEEHEE.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE PRETTY BOY. (Please see me if you went for you learners in sunshine from 11 - 12.30 for totally unrelated reasons ;) )

You will be glad to know I earned a modest 97% on my test. I have never been more nervous or happy to see the word SUCCESSFUL in ma liffeeee. On the down side I look like a deer caught in headlights with a bad fringe on my new little green card (as above).



Papa let me take a spin after renting the following dvds : MILK, SLUMDAWG MLLNRE, EMMA & HAROLD AND KUMAR 2. As a professional multi-tasker I am currently watching Masterchef (massive fan) and totally rooting for Poh.

My what a guy, Gaston!

Hu Jambo!

Dearly beloveds, apologies for not writing the past two days (you may have to get used to it). They have been, as they say, "Chocka blocked mate".


On Friday I had another rehearsal for the school production - Beauty and the Beast. If you have yet to be informed I am playing the one and only Gaston. Yes yes har har Joanne's a man but I wouldn't swap this role for any other :D

The production is in about two and a half weeks and to tell you all the truth its got me shakin' in ma boots. I haven't gotten my lines down as well as I had hoped but I'm getting there. We practiced heaps of scenes including the fight scene (between Gaston and Beast) and I get a little dagger YIPEE (do people say that these days?).

We also received our batch of t-shirts [exclusive to cast members (H)] and I was so excited I stripped behind stage to join the gang :) I like it much better than the t-shirt we had last year for our "Annie" production. but you guys don't know what that looks like so there was no point mentioning that.


Yesterday was .....AWESOME! Twas Lee and Mt's 18th bash which proved to be the party of the month (though only half the month has past and I havn't been to that many parties :$). But yeah everyone got krunked (not me ofcourse because I'm always the sober old hag) and I got to dance with Lee's bagillion little relatives so that was fun. I'll post those pictures up tomorrow if i can get my hands on them, but none are up yet because every ones probably hung-over YAY!

Sorry about the lengthy post but I will make a short and sweet one tomorrow BECAUSE SOMETHING EXCITING IS GOING TO HAPPEN :D But I'll save that for then :D

o

Barbie, you doll.

Czesc!

Just to clarify this is my second post and I am super dooper excited to write it. Today (as mentioned in yesterday's blog) I went on an "endearing" trip to the Barbie exhibition at Federation square. We were fortunate to have Hannah's EOS digital with us (THANKS HANNAH!) and we took full advantage of the situation.



No cameras were allowed in the exhibit which SUCKED MAJOR TITTIES but I did get jiggy with the camera on my phone and sneaked in a few. Not the greatest quality but hey. The trip was intended for BFG but we were missing Jill which was extremely disappointing (though we brought back goodies for her).
The exhibit was utterly amazing - branded barbies, occupationally active barbies and outfits that would last me a lifetime.

Sailor Barbie and Police officer Barbie :)

This was followed by a trip to Starbucks for our usual DNM. I tried a caramel machiato which was smooootthhh like the pick up lines i try on yo mammy. This was followed by a run through Borders where i discovered a beautiful book called vintage shoes. For everyone who isn't cheap, make this purchase and become my friend. All in all it was a gorgeous day and i recommend the exhibit to anyone with taste. But the items were expensive - i only walked outta there with some barbie mints.


I'm terribly sorry for not being a little more articulate in this blog, I just needed to get it all out of my system :D

Firstly Honey.

Bonjour!

Firstly, if you are reading this you have been kind enough to give up your time to read my first rant for which I appreciate. Why begin a blog on this particular day you ask? Well i can't give you a specific answer but I can say I've watched enough V-logs and read enough B-logs to become inspired. With the likes of Natalie Tran (the community channel), Zabrena Lopez and Ellen Nakamura on the screen - who wouldn't want to express their every thought?

Becoming the next Perez Hilton wouldn't be bad but I just getting my little thoughts out there to you all is first on the list :) So welcome to my blog. If it's utter crap just let me know and i shall send a personalised email with my utter most sincere apologies :)

Today wasn't all that exciting so i shall spare you the details. Today I just finished a pack of honey twists (as above) , listened to the Beauty and Beast soundtrack (on repeat) and watched Bring it on 2 and 4. With the overload of short skirts and double back-hand springs, I've made plans to visit the Barbie exhibit tomorrow with my darling girls from BFG.
Oh and don't worry my blogs won't usually be this long. I will be a little more succinct... I hope.
