Oliver!

When I was in high school I was in every School Show we had. In my fifth year I was in a production of Oliver. This show was the first time that I was interested in auditioning, of course being in fifth year and never had auditioned before I was rejected but I still was a part of the chorus. It was well known in our school that main parts went to sixth years and those with drama back grounds.

Our show ended up being quite funny as Fagin accidently cartwheeled off the stage and Nancy mispronounced clock leading Mr Brownlow to run around saying " The Clike! Mrs Bedwin. The Clike!". Not to mention Widow Corney who had been played by a male teacher flashing his chest at the audience.

Anyway the point to this was that last Wednesday my sweet little brother or one of them anyway was in an amateur dramatics production of Oliver. It was a bit strange watching it as I had performed in it and inevitably compared it to mine as I was watching it. I went pretty smoothly. No mess ups like mine except my wee brother did get up when all of Fagin's gang are meant to be asleep although he assures me that he was meant to do that. His twin, had his head on my shoulder throughout the play.

Also this week my dad got me a camera case for my new dslr camera. Mum spilt me on the camera. I was just planning on getting a digital camera for college but mum tends to go overboard a bit. Not that I mind shes just a bit nuts. I have to admit it takes some really great photos.

Weird places in you tube

Okay so I am sitting in class waiting for lunch to end and I started out by actually looking up things that were relevant to my class. I'm studying textiles so I started out looking at a dress that light up as it is made of tubing and liquid is passed through the tubing which is luminous. Its by casual profanity and I would really recommend checking out the blog but anyway. 

From there I found myself on the wacky side of YouTube.. you know where crazy people come out of the woodwork and perform weird science experiments and you find flour dancing on a speaker or cups of water falling from a car and inevitably you find your self watching bottles of diet coke exploding from mentos being dropped in. This is the fantastical place full of people with nothing better to do however whenever I watch these things I always find myself thinking I want to do that. That looks fun. Of course I end up wasting my time watching them on YouTube instead of actually taking the time to think up my own thing to do.

College is going well. I realise I have neither updated my blog or YouTube channel since college started and I think its because of something we all get at some time or other its called lazyitis and most of us get it at some point in our lives where we can't be bothered to lift a finger. This is how we find ourselves on the strange side of YouTube when we should be doing more productive things like updating. Yes I'm lazy and I admit it freely.

I like college better than I did school especially as I'm only in three days a week but I still miss school a bit. On my free days I work and sit reading about the house.

I have made some friends but I'm generally a bit of a loner. The work is fun and messy just the way I like it.

I find I've become more money conscious since I started. Despite having the money to get whatever I may need I still get paranoid over how much I spend. I just bought a brand new DSLR camera and I'm really scared I'm gonna break it so it still hasn't left the house yet but the quality of the camera and the fact that I'm hopefully gonna have it for a long time justifies the price.

But transport prices are really expensive but I have taken my driving test yet so I haven't got a choice I have to get the bus to and from college. Most people will interject hear with the word bike but as I need my art supplies with me this is not an option. Even with a driving licence though driving can not be considered a good option as insurance prices are really high for someone my age which sucks as I can hardly make myself instantly older and I don't think I'd want to.

Well I'd best get down to the college library to photocopy stuff.

See you later alligator!
