January

January is busy for anyone, but seriously, I have been rushed off my feet. Today was my first day off all month.
Here's the 411: I got 2nd job in marketing, but didn't like it so I left yesterday. The reason being I didn't like the work. There were some great people there, but the job just wasn't the right one for me.
I've also been rehearsing for Christmas Carol and opening night is tomorrow!!!!!! I am so excited and a little nervous, but anybody would be.
I am going to audition for the spring show (to be performed in May) which will be Maskerade, an adaptation of the Terry Pratchett novel of the same name. It's basically a parody of Phantom of the Opera, and it's hilarious. I recommend people read the Discworld novels just because of their wit. I started the first one The Colour of Magic and I loved it. I need to finish it though. I hope I get a nice part. I liked my Christmas Carol part, and I hope I really like my Maskerade part.
Also been working on vampyre story and things are going... things are progressing. We're getting there.
Wow, I summed up my month in a couple of paragraphs. Hmmm... I need to get busier.

It's 2011!!!

And I have been busy! I'm rehearsing A Christmas Carol (which seems inappropriate now it's no longer Christmas), I'm writing and I'm job searching. And I'm busy for the rest of the month with all of this stuff.
Watched Scott Pilgrim vs The World for the first time yesterday (I know I'm sooo behind the times, so sue me) and it was AWESOME! I love Shaun of the Dead so for me it was another Edgar Wright masterpiece.
So, Christmas was great. Got what I wanted and more - I love surprises. I got 3 books and I've already read 2 of them. They're The Fledgling Handbook (from the House of Night series), L Change the World (a Death Note spin-off book) and Clockwork Angel. The former two are the ones I've read in case you were wondering.
Oh yeah, got a hula hoop for Christmas so I'm going to use it to help trim the waistline.
I fear I'm becoming either an insomniac or a vampyre. For the last few nights I've been staying up till after 3am talking to one of my friends in America and after I've said goodnight and get into bed, I'm not tired. I do get to sleep, but it takes me a while. Hmmm, will have to look out for other signs. I know I'm writing a vampyre novel, but that doesn't mean I should start acting like one.
