Updaaaate (which includes latest Doctor Who spoilers)
So just an update as I'm actually getting back into being active with my LJ here.
I'm in a local production of Beauty and the Beast. I'm playing the role of Mrs. Potts (yaaaay!) and the cast is full of wonderful, talented, amazing people and I'm having so much fun! The show is in a couple weeks from now, though, and I'm getting really nervous because we haven't even finished the second act OTL. There is still about 10 rehearsals to go before the actual show though, and we're more than half way through the second act, so I'm sure everything will work out fine in the end, but I'm still dreadfully nervous about it *^*
I've also been taking private singing lessons with the director of the production, Diana Karrina, and she's been wonderful to me. I've really improved a lot, which I honestly didn't think was going to happen (When I first started, I had told my mom that I was going to take the lessons for three months and that if I didn't feel like it was helping, or that I wasn't improving, than I was going stop.) I'm going to keep the lessons up over the summer if possible, and come next year I'll start auditioning for plays and musicals around Vancouver and the lower mainland.
I've been itching to write again, but nothing's really inspiring me, which is very frustrated because I feel very antsy with all this pent-up creative energy instead and no way to release it. I keep on going back to old fics but continuously get cock-blocked. I need me some more Merlin and Doctor Who.
OH AND SPEAKING OF DOCTOR WHO WTF MOFFAT WTF. SRSLY. WTF. I hate hate HATE HATE!!!!! when I guess a plot device or mystery, and then when it's revealed I am completely unsurprised. Well, actually I am completely and utterly surprised in that I ACTUALLY GUESSED THAT SHIT RIGHT. Ugh. This is why I stopped reading murder mysteries; I'd guess who the bad guy was even though there was nothing to back up my assumption at all, and then when the big reveal happened I'd be entirely unimpressed because I'd already guessed it right.
Back to Doctor Who. So I guessed that Amy wasn't really Amy a couple episodes in, and as soon as the first half of the two-parter with the Flesh aired, I knew I got it right. I guessed what River Song was back in the episodes where she was first introduced, and turns out I was right. As soon as she refused to help the Doctor in 'A Good Man Goes to War' I knew she was Amy's daughter. Then first time River admitted to doing a very, very bad thing, I guessed she killed the Doctor. Permanently. But then quickly brushed of that idea because, c'mon! He's the Doctor! So not gonna happen.
Cue Series 6 Episode 1. Cue Series 6 Episode 7. Suddenly my crazy, so not gonna happen, little guess doesn't seem like much of a crazy, so not gonna happen guess anymore. :\ DAMN YOU MOFFAT I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WHEN DAVIES WAS RUNNING THINGS.
I don't want to keep seeing things that aren't there UNTIL THEY ARE. /not impressed
Lol not sure that Doctor Who rant really made much sense but oh well.
I'm in the mood for a meme. Tally HO!
