The Magic Number 11 (From http://thenew62.blogspot.co.uk/)

Why do you blog?
Because it's a way of getting my feelings out, rather than just leaving them to bubble over. 

What's your favorite Musical?
Ooooh, that's tough... Can I just list a few I like: 
  • Spring Awakening
  • Avenue Q
  • Les Miserables
  • West Side Story
What's the most significant moment if your life?
Getting into University. Genuinely didn't think it would happen... 


Favorite Colour?
Purple


What was your favorite subject at school?
Other than drama, probably Geography. 


What do you do in your spare time besides blogging?
Listen to music and eat. 


Favorite film?
Scott Pilgrim vs The World


What's a strange habit you have?
Scratching my legs when I'm sitting talking to someone... 


Your dream job?
Being a vocal coach.


Who you admire most... besides me?
Samantha Barks - She originally wanted to play Nancy, then got to play Eponine in Les Mis, and is now in the Les Mis film... such an amazing woman! (Plus, she got to act alongside Nick Jonas... Umph.)


Your favorite place to go?
Walking alongside the river by the RSC in Stratford. 

Summer Lovin'.. Or Summer Workin'...

Summer is nearly here. 



It's weird thinking that I'm leaving my cushty little University Room in just under a week... It's been my home for the last 8 months, and I don't like the idea of some weird little fresher living here next year... 'cuz that's not weird at all... 


I've had to start thinking about getting a summer job so that I'm not completely broke for the next 3/4 months of my life... 


But, me being me, I've taken a different, awkward route. 


VOLUNTEER WORK. 

See what I mean.



I doubt my mother will like it unless I get a small job to go alongside it. But, to be honest, I need to do stuff now that will look good later on in life when I'm trying to get a career and the place I'm thinking of volunteering in would be perfect for me. I just need to figure out a way of making money. 


And no, I'm not selling a kidney. 


Summer is going to be sooo long. 


3/4 months of sitting at home, miles away from all of my friends, nothing to do, eating my mum's food and using electricity. It hit me today, when I was shopping with my friend Rachael, that it's going to be impossible to see all of my friends from Uni when they're scattered across the country... Even more difficult when I have my celebrations for my birthday in August and no-one can come because it's so far to travel and too expensive...


And, to top it off, I'm trying to lose weight. 


(Holding for laughter) 


Yeah, it's really cliche, but it's something I'm determined to try and achieve. I've always been self-concious about people's opinion of me,  whether it's physical or my personality traits. So, to boost my confidence going into my second year, I want to be healthier, even if it only lasts until the first week back. I want to show people that I'm not just a useless drama student, I have motivation to do anything and everything people throw at me. 


That's about it for now...



To finish off my blog, and with the theme of the approaching summer in mind, here's a happy song to welcome summer.

Rants in my pants.

Don't you just love hypocrites? 
I do. 
They make me feel better, because they're better at it than me. And that's one thing that I don't mind people being better than me at. 

But, anyway, this isn't me having a go at someone, and hiding behind a blog. 
That's just not cool. 
But I am having a mini rant about people in general. 

There are just some people in the world who aggravate me so much, but they are completely oblivious to the fact that they're irritating. They just float around forcing people to do what they want because they're under some strange impression that they're better than everyone.

BITCH, PLEASE.

You're not special. Unfortunately, you're the same as me and everyone else in the universe. There is no real hierarchy.  Everyone in the world is the same, wherever you're from, whatever you are, everyone is equal and should be treated the same. I'm not going to lie, there are people in this world who I dislike, quite a lot, but I would never treat them as inferior to me. I'd always push them out of the way of a moving car, or help them if they were desperately in need of it. 

It also makes me sad that people use the term 'Go die'. 

That is one of the worse phrases in the English speaking language. Worse than 'Reem'. (yes, really.) 

If someone told you, with complete meaning and intent, to 'Go Die', you'd hate it. Maybe even take it seriously. But when life is as precious as it is, and people are dieing unnecessarily anyway, why would you make fun of it? 

It just makes me unbelievably angry. 

I'm not going to lie, or be a hypocrite, I used to use that phrase... Then someone said this exact same thing to me, and I realized that it's a horrid phrase. 

So, to finish off my blog, I've decided to include a song. 

A happier song.
