Randomness

today was a fairytale…

…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? :D 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?

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.

go and give my brother some love. stat.

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

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! :D 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
