today was a fairytale…
Mar 1st
…well technically, the 22nd of February was.
Can I just say that being asked out by your best guy friend of 2+ years – who you didn’t realize you’d been holding a torch for until recently – is probably one of the best feelings in the world?
It’s also a plus that he did it in the sweetest way possible – in person, with reference to past moments, etc etc
So yeah. As of the 22nd, I’m officially taken. -squeals-
who let the mice out?
Feb 18th
Just a quickie post because stuff’s hectic at the moment despite it being half-term and awesomely fun. Don’t worry, I’ll elaborate on that in the next post…
…but eh, I might as well do what I came here to do.
Note – bittersweetcheese (or BSC as I like to shorten it) is the birthday present I got for him that I was referring to previously. And yes, my dear bro picked the name out himself.
bugsy’s february
Feb 7th
Hola, February – I’ve managed to get myself here to write another post! Methinks this is actually going to be a bit long (because of the many events in the past week) – but eh, let’s see how I fare.
I guess the main highlight of this month has gotta be Jerry turning 15. Seems like only yesterday he was my lil’ kid brother (there’s a 2-years-and-7-months gap) asking for a tickle-fest – he was only a toddler then.
Now, he takes every opportunity to remind me of how much shorter I am compared to him (even though he’s my younger brother, pah!) It’s pretty obvious that I love the guy to bits; so have a good birthday on the 28th, Jerry!
It’s a shame I’m 6800+ miles away when that happens, but you know what my present for you is already
In other news, I’ve been “signed on” to choreograph (along with my friend Gem) some numbers for the Lower School Play (11 to 14-year-olds) this summer. It’s awesome because:
- They’re doing “Bugsy Malone”.
- I get to work with a bunch of juniors I already know – and personal experience has reminded me that I can work with/handle juniors better than those doing the Senior plays. xD
- It’s dancing – so it’s a breather from the technical/backstage stuff I usually do (generally, as a behind-the-scenes production member, I light + provide sound + keep basic admin stuffo in check.)
Rehearsals have started *already*; owing to the extensive amount of choreography that goes into Bugsy (as opposed to something like Macbeth.) In about 4 weeks, Gemma and I have successfully completed the routine for 1 song (Fat Sam’s Grand Slam), are partway through another (Bad Guys/You Give A Little Love) with the help of the boys’ improvisations, and will be collaborating with some of the girls on another (Tomorrow.) Pretty impressive, I must say! We’re also going to let the boys devise their own dances for So You Wanna Be A Boxer…well, as much as they can do. The play’s a ton of fun; especially when you have a bunch of Year Sevens attempting to look flirtatious with a Year Nine boy (our Bugsy, that is) – and failing. xD
