2008
2008, there’s lots going on already.
Started off with Spice Girls Reunion Tour - God Damn it, They where amazing - seeing them together live showed exactly why they where so HUGE and surprisingly they where all a lot better vocally than I was expecting, just so so so much fun! It really was a huge celebration! Still a bit surreal that I saw them, especially since they where so much a part of my childhood.
Next up New York New York! …god damn it I didn’t want to leave. Driving up to Manhattan and then threw Manhattan for the first time is completely surreal Its just so surreal and you really can’t stop looking up. Then after two days you’re like fuck all that scary and impressive architecture I’m an angry New Yorker move out my way. On the same breathtaking level Times Square is so surreal you see the pictures and you see it in movies but its nothing compared to being there.
Went on the sex and the city tour! It was just so so so much fun tho I imagine going on it with a group of friends it would be much more fun! Got to go to load of iconic places, like the pleasure chest (where the rabbit was immortalized), Steve’s Bar, Carries Stoop and the cupcake shop where Miranda and Carrie talk about Carries new crush on Aiden and then like 1000 more locations that made me realize I watch far to much sex and the city or you know exactly the right amount.
WICKED!!! OMG, I’m so in love with Wicked its unreal! I was hoping for it to be good and expected to enjoy it but I really was surprised how amazing it was! I laughed, I was entertained and even got serious Goosebumps during Defying Gravity! All from like the 7th row from the front. So when we all going down to London to see it there?
Rent, oh my god, seeing my favorite musical on stage was so intense and kind of surreal and so so good, the whole thing was amazing! Not dramatically different but still very different if that makes sense. I would have loved to see the original cast but to see it at all was brilliant. Won’t go into all the details you can get that in person.
Made the Heroes Cheerleading squad, and like a real performing monkey can do a round off back flip, round off back somersault and round off back flip back somersault on demand. The routine is actually quite complex surprisingly being cheerleader is harder than it looks. OH and also I’m going to be coaching Cheerleading - Heroes is going to pay for the course at the end of February.
I’ve been working non stop and trying to squeeze in a social life in between.
My last couple of days off, plus a day I had to get covered resulted in me going down to my cousins and seeing Plain white T’s who where fantastic tho totally not the band I thought I was going to see. Then going to see 30 seconds to mars the next night it was AMAZING beyond the fact that Jared Letto is just uncomfortably attractive and has amazing presence he was actually really good in a way you don’t expect from an ex movie star, brilliant gig and then after that I went to visit Shelley in Sunderland on the way back for a fun night out where we managed to find the only gay bar in Sunderland which was so dead and so exactly what a small city gay bar is all about.
This is the first time I’ve actually had the time to write in ages because I’ve just been working so much and every time I’m not at work I’m like “oh my god have to do SOMETHING!” and this is the first day that I haven’t because I called in work sick and I’m totally exhausted.
I’m also totally medicating my loneliness with TV shows on non stop - the two big ones have been Gossip Girl then that moved on to Grey’s Anatomy and a weekly dose of L word helps. I’m vicariously getting my romance from television shows, I’ve got lots of sci-fi to catch up on yet I’m picking the emotional drama’s over them. That was very melodramatic but mainly because I was being melodramatic, I’ve just got no love life and I miss it. I’m also sick of looking, sick of trying I’ve got a heavy workload as it is and just can’t be bothered anymore so instead I’m dating my TV. Not that I could remember what a real date looked like as the last one was in 05 but still my new boyfriend never fails to satisfy.
I know I could be doing it when I’m watching all this TV but I haven’t been working out properly and I haven’t been writing even tough I’m thinking about it every day. Allot! I have 3 projects at the moment which are all so interesting and I do need to get them down properly instead of just let them get tangled in my head.
That ended up getting a lot more negative than intended but I’m a big fan in the belief that all emotions should be experienced or else what’s the point in the good ones if you can’t appreciate them and against all the melodrama I made eggs Benedict today, Its my new favorite flavor of decadence - I’ll have to cook it for you guys next time I see ya.
Also i sent of my ucas and honestly I am terribly nervous about hearing back even though I'm perfect for the course, and the fact i can't get into the bit in my account to track the progress because i don't have the number isn't helping.
I got a great belated birthday/Christmas prez too, of Luci - Its an original copy script of the Firefly episode Serenity from 2002 before anyone was cast.
