(no subject)
I went to a club on Saturday night called Central Station. I went on my own, feeling like I just wanted to dance.
It could have been a comedy skit. I should have realised there was something odd about the place, because when I arrived I had to stand in a queue that wasn't moving, as the club floor was being mopped up as they had just had their weekly 'Corporal Punishment' games. Ewwww.
I got in there, and very quickly realised it was just a club for having sex in. There was a tiny tiny dancefloor, and where you would imagine a wall to be, there was actually curtains, and behind the curtains (apparently! I didn't check!!) dark spaces for men to just grope each other. I don't know if i'm a prude but I really don't get this at all? Why would you want to enter a dark space and put something in your mouth or up your bum without at least seeing the person first, putting some protection on them, and making sure that there was some connection between the two of you. I realise sex is just a basic primal instinct, but surely there has to be some rules to it.
A small guy came over to chat to me. I feel like I have stuff about myself, as does everyone, that I would like to work on but one of these traits is not being a nice guy. I do that really well...so I decided to humour the guy, and talk back to him. He was a financial journalist and what a freakin weirdo! He was so slimy, and odd that I found myself drawn to talking to him more simply as a character study in human nature. It wasn't until he grabbed me in appropriate places and tried to shove me in the direction of the curtain, that I told him I could knock him out in one flick of my wrist if he so much as lay another finger on me. He threatened to report me to the bouncers, and with that I left and went home!
Today, I've been for an audition! Horray! It was for a touring panto production of Treasure Island. To be honest, I was just so relieved and glad to have finally got an audition somewhere that hte outcome doesn't even seem that important. It was just nice for an hour to be able to do what I love doing with my life and perform alongside people.
It was a weird audition as it was very relaxed, friendly and they gave us ample chance to show our capabilities. She gave us a little peptalk at the end, that we had been an extremely strong audition group and that if we had entered 2 months ago, when the casting began, there would have been an overwhelming majority.....however, they start rehearsals next week and there are very few roles left. She'll ring us by Thursday, if it's a yes, and if we don't hear then- we're to apply next year.
Weirdly, I'm not too bothered. It would be fantastic to get it; i'd be doing what i wanted to do, touring round schools and nursing homes should be funky for a while and it's only a short tour of 6 weeks. On the flip side, I'd have to not start at Waterstones (lose a potential regular source of income,) the pay for the panto is really bottom line shitty and I might have to go touring round the UK, hence leaving my London pad that i'm only just becoming so attached to. Either way, this is a winning situation- which is nice!
Last night, went to watch the Falcons play in the pub. We won, and I was happy. Good stuff.
I think that's it for now. :)
