*sits quietly*

It has been a while now, heh.

I'm not entirely sure where to start. A lot's happened these last few weeks and it's thrown a lot of things into perspective for me, both privately and publicly. But anyway...

I had a fantastic time staying with Mimmi- I really needed the holiday and I came back with some fantastic stuff, hehe. My moose is currently watching over my bed and the Kenshin DVDs have barely left the player since they've been here ^_^

I'll have to put the pictures up sometime, perhaps this afternoon in case anyone's interested. But at the moment I'm reluctant to commit myself to saying anything because I can't get a lot of it done. As a result I'm not signing up for any more RPGs and the caption competitions I've pretty much resigned from anyway (not that they're a matter of great consequence).

After I returned I got straight into rehearsals for The Wind in the illows and it looked pretty shambolic to start with. People couldn't remember their lines and the set wasn't actually finished until a day before we were due to start. Things haven't been very well organised and some people on the course are starting to blame our tutor, but it's an incredibly short-sighted view. I don't think they understand a lot of the difficulties involved with this sort of thing.

Still, come Monday last week we finally got into the theatre and were able to do bits and pieces of an actual rehearsal in the theatre, but because of various technical complications (i.e. the floor being painted), we couldn't do much. We stayed until about 8:30 that evening.

Tuesday was devastating. We were supposed to do two dress rehearsals and three techs, or something like that, including the ones we'd missed the previous day due to the set not being complete. We started at 10:00am and the first technical rehearsal finished at four in the afternoon. It took six hours and we still had two dress rehearsals to do.

Eventually, at 10:53, we finished. And I had to get up at 6 to get ready for the first performance on Wednesday morning. I was considerably irritable that night and I had some weird nightmares.

So, the first few performances came and went and generally they were okay... except the vehicle that triples up as the caravan, car and train kept breaking down either just before it was due to come on or as it was on stage, prompting some improvisation to try and cover for it. On top of that, the drivers (one in particular) frequently crashed it into bits of the set, moving and damaging it at the same time. And there was a good amount of malarkey with the food during the party scene; a friend of mine choking on a sandwich on stage forcing me into fits of giggles and me also being the target of various edible projectiles.

The Friday evening performance was the best in terms of my own character, I thought. I just felt more into it and the energey appeared to show. Although that might have been because we were being assessed at the time ^_^;

I suppose that's all I've been doing. Annoyingly I've caught a cold that's been floating it's way around the college and I hope it's not going to affect my voice any. I hate feeling ill, heh. It just makes me very angry.

Scars of Experience
I've felt myself changing over these last weeks. It's hard to tell whether it's anything serious or just a temporary thing, but I've had to prioritise elements of my life according to what I have to fdo. I hate having to be so mechanical about everything that i want to be a part of but practically some things just don't work out that way. I wasn't even able to look at OB until yesterday morning and even then I couldn't do much. And I've missed so much on people's MyOs I don't know if I'll actually be able to get back into the swing of things.

I could be egotistical and ask a question now, but I'l save that for when it's actually needed ^_^

See you soon.
