Omg it's cold....

 Argh, it's so cold. I think I'm going to start freezing. ;~; Well, actually, it's not that cold, its only 11 degrees outside, but I had a shower last night and I now have a cold neck. :P

 I've been pretty busy at the moment. I was sick for a few weeks, so I didn't get as much of my stuff down as I could have. I've been doing extra singing and music work to catch up on where I'm meant to be.

 I had a singing lesson on Friday, and it was loads of fun. I've started learning two new songs - one in English, the other in Italian. The Italian one has been a little hard to practice, because I can't speak Italian, but I'm working on it. xD
 My coach is also going to help me get a few more gigs, and she said that the next time that the WA Opera need kids for a show that she'll put my name down as a suggestion. Whoop!

 I haven't heard back anything yet about whether or not I've been shortlisted for an audition for "Breath", but I was talking to a friend who works in the filming industry and she said that there's a good chance I'll get cast in it, as I've got the right look for the film. So fingers crossed!

(^^ that picture is so freaking awesome!!!)

 Demon Road comes out soon, and I'm so excited! Derek Landy is such an awesome author, and he creates some really badass girl characters, so I have high expectations for this book. xD I've requested the book from my local library, and I'll be the first to get it when it comes in. :3 It's gonna be awesome. X3

 One of my friends and I might be starting a Youtube Channel, where we'll post up some cute and some crazy videos. It's because She wants to be a film director, and I want to be an actor, so we figured we should come together and make some stuff up ourselves. It's gonna be fun. And we're catching up on Tuesday, so I'll let you know what the plan is on Wednesday! ;)

 I'm having fun writing Guardian Angel at the moment! I'm at 30,000 words, and I'm feeling very proud of it so far. I made a cover (which is above ^^) which isn't too great, but it's also not the 'final' one. XD
 My friends are saying that I'm killing off too many characters in the story, but it's set in a revolution, so there are going to be casualties. And if you want too many deaths, go read the Game of Throne series by George Martin. XD
 Yeah, so, I'm hoping to get this book published, but first off I have to finish writing it and see if it's any good. So yeah, that's been going along nicely in it's own way, but I've ran out of notebooks again... ;~;

 Speaking off books, I lent "The Name of the Wind" to my friend at the beginning of the year. And now she's decided to stop talking to me. She had better give me back mah book or hell's gonna break loose. That book was a birthday present.

 Well, I had better sign off now, I got stuff to do... like getting that book back. Be good guys, and I'll see you soon.

And so farewell...

Hello everyone!

 Well, the Pirates of Penzance is officially over! Yesterday had the last two shows of the season, and it was definitely the most enjoyable of all the days.

 We didn't make too many mistakes, which was good (although they were filming it... hmm) and the first audience were OK - they certainly didn't get many of the jokes - but the second audience was brilliant! They got a lot of the jokes, and right up the back were some people dressed in pirate costumes.

 I went around to get people's autographs, and it work at first, and then people decided to write messages to me as well! So my signature book became a bit of a year book for this year's show... :P

 And I we made our mark on the wall at the theatre. It was hard to find a spot that hadn't already been taken up by other people's writing about their shows. It took me about 45 minutes to write all the cast and the main crew, and draw the pirate flag. My arm sure was stiff by the time I finished...:

 We had an after party thing at the end of the shows, which had presentations and 'awards' and other such things, and we all hung around and chatted to the rest of the cast. It was rather sad, I was feeling the tears coming and choked them back. It's also probably the last time I'll see the Music Director and On of the principles - they're off to America next year to go to the Manhattan School of Music. And I'll probably see the others later on in the year, it's a small world in the performing industry here...

 And that said, I'm not wearing makeup for the next three weeks... or until I have too...

Anyway, I have to go now - to have breakfast and sleep :3 So, to quote Frederic:

 And so farewell...

Last round for Pirates...

Hello everyone! :D

 Wow, is it really the second of June? XP Time flies by so quickly...

 Well, I thought that I'd give you another update on the Pirates of Penzance - probably my last one, too. Hopefully none of you are tired of it anymore. :P

 So the Show started last week, on the Thursday. We had a few mistakes with it, and one of the props went missing (thankfully my brother found it just before we had to go on stage with it). But otherwise that show went well.
 The Friday show sold out, which was really exciting!! The two Saturday shows were a bit tiring, mainly because all of us were tired from the last two shows, but we survived them and they turned out to be really good too.

 I then slept for nearly all of Sunday and half managed to get out of bed on Monday. And now I'm back to doing school work (essays - urgh), and then tomorrow is the first day for the second (and last) round of shows! It's going too quickly, the shows will be over before I know it. :'( But yeah, so, five more sows to go! The very last show is completely booked out, but the other four still have more seats left. 

 I love the cast I'm performing with! Out of the three groups I've performed with, this is the best. They're all so friendly and helpful, and they feel like a community.

  If anyone is interested, here's a video of some of the parts of the show. I didn't turn up to that rehearsal when they filmed it, so I'm not in it. :( But please watch it!

 I'm going to miss the Pirates' cast when the show is over - two people are going to America, and another is going interstate... But hopefully I'll see them again in the future. And they're still here until the end of the year...

 *Sniffs and wipes tears away from my eyes* Sorry, I have to go now, before I start a flood...

Musical Days

Hello everyone! :D

 How is everyone? Are you enjoying school? :D I am!

 So it's Tuesday! I have a singing lesson at 11 O'clock today, and it should be loads of fun. ^-^  My teacher and I have been rewriting The Fold's song "Crooked Road" so that I can sing it slightly more classically. When that is done we'll get it recorded and put it on SoundCloud. Then I'll email Dan, Matt, George and Mark the link to the song and see if they like it!! ^-^

 Then I'll be going busking (for those who don't know what busking is, it's street performing). I need to make $60 for Mum so we can go to see Les Misérables, plus I need to start saving up to go to next year's Homeschool camp, plus I want to get the "Battle for Ninjago City" LEGO set. I have a lot of saving to do! Luckily I have an excellent singing voice and good flute skills.

 And when Dad comes home we're practising our parts for the Rose of Persia. I love the role I'm understudying - she has great solos!! I really like the song "Neath my Lattice", it's so lovely and hits high C.

 Well, I must go, I have to leave in half an hour so I won't miss the bus, and I have to get ready.

 Have fun everyone!

 Rock On!
