Reasons to stay in bugsy
- the show will be awesome
- I get to have a splurge gun
- my friends are doing it
- I’ve done every other school show
- Sam might come and see it
- it’s at the ‘drome
Reasons to quit bugsy
- I know none of the lines because SOMEONE told me there would be no rehearsals during exams
- I am hating every moment of the rehearsals
- I have a one line part, in contrast with 289 for dog
- I’m obviously completely useless
- I can’t sing
- it means that I have to come into school during the holidays
- I’m dying my hair blue
- did I mention I hate the rehearsals?
Fuck. I do not know what to do. At all. I will kick myself if I quit. But I might be kicked out anyway.
God I miss Tongues of Fire already. It hasn’t even been twenty four hours since I last saw them. I didn’t have to be me there. I could be someone else. Someone more confident, someone needed, someone talented. I could talk to people who didn’t know about me from other people. No one looked down at me for the way I dressed, or how I was. And if I did get upset, which I did, the Sams were always there to cheer me up, and Andreas to let me cry until I didn’t need to anymore.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
Why are my three best friends currently in different countries? I need them. Ellie’s probably not going to Elliot Minor. Just perfect. Absolutely brilliant.
On the bright side, Sarah wants to set me up with one of her boyfriend’s friends.
I hope this is saving to my journal. Hmm.
Yesterday I had the weirdest bloody dream ever – but I didn’t want to wake up ): I was with Nayno and Ellie, and we were at EM (for some reason in London? I’m going to B’ham!) and somehow we managed to get super near the front, and I had something on my t-shirt about sheep and alex saw it and was like “what does your t-shirt say?” and then he saw it and was like D: XD and I was like “I’m part welsh, I’m allowed to say that” so blah blah. Concert went on, and Alex was hanging out by the merch at the end… I’m pretty sure I bought some merch – I can remember seeing Tokio Hotel?! and we were just hanging out and chatting, and we got a picture together, me sitting on the counter and him pulling a face. And then he told me he was inviting me to their next practice before a concert – because it was Ali’s birthday XD and then I woke up ):
I have NO IDEA why Alex was in there and no one else, but that’s my dreams for you! Ally was talking to me last night, so that’s sheep and Tokio Hotel, and I was planning what Mikey in FOCS was doing in pictures, and I was excited about EM (which I’m buying todayyyyyy!) so that’s all logic in my dreams.
And now I have to go and flail about my bloody maths gcse. If I fail I’m blaming Elliot Minor.
First character rehearsal today. It was pretty cool, pretty fun. It's just coming together, and we haven't even really started! I feel so scruffy next to all the girls though! They're all like, immaculately dressed, and I just went in wearing my levis and my black clouds and under dogs shirt, with my hair needing a wash >_< tomorrow I will try harder - although tomorrow is me, andreas, rosie and sam, so not quite as much pressure!
"That's what happens, Tristan, when you throw your hat at the lamp."
I DID get a part in Bugsy afterall! I am "Butler" (I dunno if it's THE Butler, or it's his name XD) and I'm a "down and out" (?) - small parts, but enough to keep me happy (:
And my last two drama rehearsals tomorrow x__x I'm actually listening to the music we might be using now - I have three pilot theatre ones and two instrumentals from repo.
ttyl, I'll try and catch you online V.
I have now officially lost all faith in humanity, or maybe just my generation.

Hayley Williams.
I mean, wtf? Yeah, she's a great musician, but there's no way she's changed the world in any shape or form, apart from getting a large number of teenaged girls to scream "oh god" and boosting the sales of red hair dye.
And that's only part of it. When I said Che, a large number of the year asked "who?" WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO? WHY OH WHY AM I IN SUCH A RETARDED YEAR?
I had my history mock today, luckily I didn't get a question as to why America got involved in Cuba, otherwise I would have lost my temper big time, and ranted on about how America kicked us out, and chucked all our tea overboard!

Holy shit, over a month! I suck, don't I?!
February was pretty cool - especially half term at Ally's! We acted out (well, she) Skins, Interview with a vampire, labyrinth and lord of the flies. I did my drama performance, it wasn't too bad. Had school photos - holding judgement on that!!
I don't like my haircut (which is about two weeks old XD), but I shall live with it and spike it up again.
The school musical is Bugsy Malone, which should be pretty awesome. I just HATE auditions (yeah, I know, I should get over them XD), and I'm going to apologise in advance for my butchering of an American accent.
Beast has like... three chapters left? God, it'll be good to finish another! The first episode of Decidians is written up, we're onto the last three scenes of the second. Most of them me.
And Ryan is Tom's fuck buddy. LOL. I want to bring in a Mikey, I'll think about it.
Laters!

Alanna's such a slut!
Anyways. Pretty good today. Sarah liked her birthday present! Aww, her and Sam make such a cute couple.
Penny and I finished the first episode of Decidians; we reckon it's going to be called Stranger Than Me. Basically, so far Mikey has shown off Mandible House (and his schizophrenic tendencies) to Andrew, Cassandra has arrived in The City, Luis is being Luis, Cai has been perving on Tom and Tom has been teased. Not bad for a first episode!
The second episode is like all based on Hood and Xylia XD Which means I have nothing to do, apart from some joints where the avians and vampires coincide. I can't write Hood, Xylia, Luis or... actually, that's pretty much all XD We have a really small cast list! Although, Matt does make his first appearance in the second episode. As the strong silent vampire behind Rowland XD
I just suck at writing more slapstick humour ;)

I just... third time unlucky, really. By this time, it's obviously something I'm doing. My best bet is to live out this year, stay quiet, spend as much time as I can in the library/music rooms. Then, by May, this'll be over.
Ebuddy won't log me in.
I need my smurf and my Ally. God, I need her so fucking much.

I hate Emma so very much, but the dynamics between her and Sean are amazing. I loved that whole thing of them being on the streets since he was nine and she was fourteen - baby!Sean ftw!
And homygosh when Sean got drunk and passed out I was toying between GRR GO SXE RETARDED FIT BEAUTIIFUL BOY and AWW COME HERE AND I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
Sad!Sean = amazing.
"Yeah, the thing is, I don't do guys."
"Oh... OH. I - Forget I -"

"That's what I'm worried about."

i. 14th - School Centenery Celebrations. Went pretty damn good. I came into school today and, like, slept on the desk. Mrs Shaw apologised for waking me up. Mike was hysterical;
"I debated being late again [he was late for our Christmas concert because apparently he was in his room. We don't want to know what he was doing that was so important he couldn't answer his phone...], but then I figured that joke might be wearing thin. I mean, Hitler was late all the time and he wasn't very popular, was he? *pause* ...Maybe that was for other reasons..."
Apparently O Fortuna was brilliant. It felt pretty damn good to sing, I'll say that much. No matter how much I hate Church Latin. Mike and Mr Haynes were right behind us during When the Saints and were REALLY off-putting singing the baritone. But I think it was actually a good thing, cause it encouraged us to sing louder to drown them out. Mike looked really good in his tux XD bless, he was so proud of himself because he had a cummerband (sp?) and a proper bowtie. He liked my hair (it was all spikey, and really really really really blue), and messed with it when the bloody Second Sopranos stole my seat. According to Mrs Day I looked beautiful - I said it was because I had a lot of black to choose from! We got a standing ovation from Ellie's parents...!
ii. 18th - Dannie's birthday. Getting her a CR doll.
iii. 22nd - Lucy's birthday. She wants a make up bag.
iv. 25th - RIP Jonathan Larson. I'm sorry I can't even spell your name first time around... But you were a truly spectacular composer and playright, and I reallyreally hope I can use your play as a comparison essay. Thank you for writing RENT (:
v. 26th - Sarah's birthday. God knows what I'm getting her...
vi. 26th - Matt Heafy's birthday. What? XD
vii. 29th - GCSE Chamber Concert. Either doing an Andrew Lloyd Webber (Music of the Night, most probabably. Although I am debating doing Unexpected Song) or Shostakowitsch. I can't even spell his name...
viii. 29th - Mel J coming in again. She came in today, and after I'd relaxed I wasn't too bad. I just need to learn my lines, really. I was jumping on the table and everything!
ix. 30th - Boys Like Girls!!! Metro Station!!! Others!!! Ellie!!! Me!!! Lora!!! Nayno!!! Sarah!!! Mrs Ellie's Mum!!! Mrs Ellie's Dad!!!
x. 31st - Going to see The Convict's Opera with Grandma. Watch this space, sounds pretty good!
Pretty good month up ahead, all in all =D
Aaaaaaand I have so many ideas for stories. My crazy St Trinians/Elliot Minor one, continuing Beast, finishing Mikey/Ali at the library, my Twilightinspired one, finally finishing Distance Makes Us Wise, that one I just came up with based on Neighbours, a nice little LOFT one, maybe Elliot Minor as LOFT, maybe Elliot Minor as POTO, some RENT stuff?
Good times, good times.
Hustle tonight - mmmm, drunken Sean. Not quite as good as a naked Danny, but it'll have to do...
(and naked Danny just put me in mind of this;
V: why are you attacking a poor zombie with gay kisses out of context?)
Long time no see, a nice long entry to make up for that.
OH. And I'm seeing Tomm (adding an extra M for clarity) next week, I think. The plan was to meet at the college - I have so many ideas now. And me and him work well together AS NO ONE ELSE IN OUR GROUP HAS A BRAIN CELL D<, and he liked my treatment and said it was really well written and a great idea =D Smiles all around!

So you'll only respond when it's got something to do with you, hmm?
For God's Sake. I'm trying to give you your fucking Birthday present. That I spent £17 pounds on - what did you get me? A couple of posters. It wasn't even a combined, it was just your birthday. You could at least pretend to be grateful, you know?
Is it enough that you pretty much ruined my party by isolating you two against everyone else?
Why do I have shit friends? And it's a goddamn Sunday, so one of the few friends I have that isn't shit isn't gonna be here. Hopefully Ally will come on later then.
Pathetic. Glad to know that things won't change when you're sixteen, and your friends will always be shit.

I told Penny off because she traumatised me. She told me I had to watch Queer as Folk... not specifying there was AN AMERICAN AND BRITISH VERSION. Cause, homg, the American one scares the shit out of me. It's practically "Just in case you haven't realised we're gay we'll talk about sex all the time and act camp". For something to disturb ME is pretty weird, like Lora said about RHPS.
And then, typical bloody Youtube, no EQaF on it. No full episodes anyways. So I returned to the wonders of MTW.
I think there's an LJ comm called "slash the week". MUST. FIND.
PCSHE presentation didn't go too well... but the guy in black books is FIT, must find out more XD
Argh, my lip is bleeding...
People on msn are really beginning to bug me. I mean, yeah, you have a boyfriend. When I was with Tom (gosh, he's coming up a lot in conversation recently XD) I just added a ♥ T to my name. But I've got people on my FL that just... whoa, it seems waaaaaay too far, y'know? Example - "Mikey, ilysfm Nick ♥ 10/5/2008 forever and always, you're just so perfect! Ti amo, mea culpa, me encanta!" Ok, so none of the people doing it speak Spanish/Italian/Latin. But you get the idea. It's like... do you have a life?
It's my grandma's birthday, I think I'm going around hers.
ONE MORE.
EEEEEE I MIGHT HAVE A NICK.

My hoodie smells a bit strange. I dunno why XD
I've learnt it's cold in England in the middle of the december when you're wearing 3/4 length combats and a tank top. But the effect is purdy. I need to redye my hair though, I have brown sections.
I want to go dakota blue! - not until study leave, Jezebel.
So the AST teacher is coming in next week apparently. That should be cool. We've got more done now.
LOL.
For Decidians we've created a girlfriend for Cai. She's his childhood sweetheart, blonde, blue eyed and bubbly. Wins over even Luis... then it's revealed that Mikey turned her and Cai kills her. Big finish, ja?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE SPANISH.
"Lora, your tie is supposed to have five red strips."
"*counts all strips* one two three four five six seven eight..."
"Five RED."
"*counts the thin end* one two three four..."
"On the thick bit."
"...Well what would you know? You're not wearing a stripey tie!"
"Because it would clash!"
"Is it simpatica that I've spelt wrong?"
"What? Erotica?"
And then I clambered over the table when he wasn't looking to write RENT on the board. Took him a good ten minutes to notice, and he found that pretty amusing XD

I guess I realised you never really did give a damn, and I was just the gap filler. Like the words we were told not to use in our speaking presentations - "like" "um" "er".
I thought I lost a page of beast today, but I found it when I got home.
It's cold. So cold. Chills you down to the bones. Cuts you in half.
My mood's been fluctuating all day, alternating between being happy and not. I fell asleep in choir. I fucked up in maths - like that's anything new - and took two paracetemol in PE. That reminded me of the idea for Mordent, contrasting everyone running to save Dannie and my character taking all the paracetemol she'd stored up throughout the series. Eighty will put you in a coma. I remember Amy saying that, back when we were friends.
You can't hide the past. How do you leave the past behind when it keeps finding ways to get to your heart? Who knows. I don't.
Prom's going to be a disaster. It's on a Wednesday, I can't take Ally. Who's going to take me? It's just our school, so there's no way of picking up a guy there unless people split up. No one will take me. What's the point in going?
Still, I've got brownies tonight. That should cheer me up.

SHIT REPORT ON WEDNESDAY.
Spent most of last night thinking VERY blasphemous thoughts with V. That is possibly the HOTTEST gay kiss I've ever seen. But shoosh. I like Bandboy. And balding!guy's facial expressions.
Mebbe I'll write the first chapter of that twisted story that Mattie waltzed into uninvited.
That party was a bit... disappointing though. Oh well, six people isn't too bad. And when Mason DROPPED OUT the day before ;___; Gutting, I loved Mason. Bloody school gets in the way of good old rp time.
