Because things always look better video'd...(:

well knock me over with a bunch of feathers. it seems to have been rather a while since i last blogged, for which i'm sorry.
been a tad busy recently, what with school work and whatnot, so i'll try to fill you in with what has happened recently.

back in (december and) january (ooh, almost a song title there), i helped out with my local pantomime, that i used to perform in, but, this year, i decided just to help out behind the scenes cos of work and having an actual a-level in the middle of the performances. it turned out to be some of the most hectic, frustrating, rewarding and tiring weeks of my life, i think. i was helping out with the junior chorus, which involved chaperoning the girls from the hall to their 'dressing room', getting their next costumes ready, and generally picking and cleaning up after them. the group of girls this year was made up of some old and some new, which, in theory, meant that the 'old' girls could get on with it whilst we helped the new ones. but, of course, when you have a group of ten 10/11 year olds, theories might as well have not been invented. the majority of the girls were lovely, and a real pleasure to work with, but there were a couple who could have helped themselves a bit more, instead of walking into trouble every two seconds. but, overall, it was a really good performance, and congrats to my friends Beckie and Jo for having their first major roles :)

more recently, i have been getting involved more with the Grace (girl's) group at SSH, meaning that i have been feeling a lot more part of the SSH family, which has been nice. SSH are holding a fundraiser this weekend, and a having a talent show. somehow, along the way, i have managed to get involved in that, aswell. firstly, my friend Sarah asked me to do a duet with her, so the other day i went round to her's to record us singing it. there were a couple of gooood videos, consisting of us making each other laugh and generally putting each other off whilst trying to sing. i also wanted to join in with the Grace entry, as we were going to do the Thriller dance, and look really good. however, yesterday, when we were going to plan it out and rehearse, only 4 of us turned up. which resulted in us scrapping the thriller dance, and, er, choreographing a synchronised swively slidey chair dance. dont ask. we got Elijah to record it for us, and when we watched it back, it was so funny, and slightly embarrassing (not as embarrassing as singing though), but he said it looked really good LOL :)

i thiiiiink that's it, apart from the fact i've been being extra nerdy recently, what with Sarah buying Lego Harry Potter for the Wii, which is AMAZING, and so i had to watch Hank Green's youtube videos of him playing it. again. :)


see you on the other side :)
