Life is stupid some times. Or rather, the people in it are.
Other's are absolutely wonderful people.
It's all so mixed.
I used to be very naive... now most people who know me will be pissing themselves with laughter right now... because I'm one of the most un-naive people nowadays, but, if you talked to me 4 years ago, I was a completely different person...
I'm just gonna stop writing there, I can't be bothered going down that route, but I can't bring myself to delete it either, so it's just gonna stay there unwanted and unloved :-)
I've been working hard on my Prelims, the Seer Project and rehearsals for 'Golden Ticket', the next Showstopperz show.
Reno always makes lovely, simple yet eye catching posters.
I've got two solo's in the show, well... kinda. The first is more or less a solo, it's I've got a Golden Ticket from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I play Grandpa Joe in these scenes. So it's a solo bar 2 lines where Alistair joins in as Charlie... it's a rather amusing scene... I get a cane, a nightgown, long johns, a jacket and hopefully a hat... *Happy*
The second is the "If I Only Had The Nerve" song from The Wizard of Oz, I couldn't find a decent video with the correct lyrics so you'll just have to come and see it. I play the lion, in a very Shakespearean Trained/Brian Blessed sort of way...
So I'm busy with that, learning lines and perfecting songs. It's all a lot of work really, and at rehearsals I'm in just about every piece... so I very rarely get to sit down. The joys of being the only male who's voice has broken and is over the age of 12....
The film's coming along fine I suppose. A couple of little technical hitches but filming for the funding bid is continuing and you can see some sneak peeks over at the Cerberus Films Blog.
I'll tell you one thing, writing lyrics is a bitch... anyone out there willing to write lyrics for a feature film?
Prelims-
Well in my Physic Credit Prelim I got 91% and 94% which was apparently one of the highest in the year :-) and considering I didn't have any education for 5 months I'm pretty damn happy.
I did my Maths Prelim on Friday... It took 4 hours to complete the two credit papers, hence why I've been dead to the world for a couple of days... I think it went pretty well, there were however some horrible, evil questions in there that were all worth 4 marks... but hey, I answered everything so I should get some of the marks.
I've got a Prelim every week from now until my actual exams start in May. In fact I have 8 including NABS during the last week, all for French... fun times...
This Friday I have Geography. I'm a little nervous as over half the course I've had to do self study because I haven't had any kind of tutoring. BBC Bitesize is a lifesaver.
This whole mess of prelims could have been saved from happening if the school had got there finger out and actually done something constructive for once.

Edit- I just remembered one of the things I forgot to mentionI think that's about it. I'm sure I mean't to say something else but I've forgotten as per usual. I have a nasty bug and CFS isn't great right now either but hey...
Two very lovely and awesome people, Layla Monteith-Grace and Abi'Fail' Fraser, The former for lovely and encouraging words when I was feeling like crap and the latter for her generousity in giving me Mikado *Mikado+CFS Stupor=Slightly Better than CFS Stupor-Mikado*
