As You Like It, and other stuff!

Well, I went to see As You Like It at The Crucible the other day, and it was fuckin' immense! I didn't know the story at all, but with it being a Shakespeare RomCom I had resigned myself to the belief that it would be lovers running around in the forest. And it was!!! BUT IT WAS GREAT! Eve Best played Rosalind, and she was great! Spur of the moment "Please-Celia-Don't-Choke!" was fab too... Lifesaver, I say! And Lisa Dillon (as Celia!) was my absolute fave! She played it so well, and the weird thing was that all through the first half I was wondering what her voice reminded me of. And then, in the second half, it hit me: Bob from BlackAdder II!!!! She was soooo Kate/Bob it was untrue! And her voice was just brill. And her acting was brill too!
But I don't think any of them could have beat Christopher Ravenscroft's "Shakespeare Voice" --- he's obviously the king of all things Shakespeare (except William himself, of course!).

I can't wait to go to see The Cherry Orchard -- although I will say that the play itself was a bit "oh, is that it?" when I read it. And funny? I just don't get it. But who'd give up the chance to see Joanna Lumley live?! Not me, that's for sure! Woo Hoo!

I still want to go to London. Me and my Aunty have decided we're going to go. Will be fun. My Uncle is there at the moment, git! But it's ok because, if all goes to plan, I'll be living there soon enough! WOOOOOOO!

No biology lesson tomorrow, so the plan is: get the one and only Miss Green to sign me in for biology and free period; that way I can go squashing with Nug! I played tonight. I lost 3 games to 2 to Kate tonight. And I was angry. I don't like to lose. And I never do. I blame Coley because he was watching. Damned Nuggy!

I had omelette for tea. It was yummy. But then I had some cake, and it was baaaaaaaaad! For me that is. Well, actually, it wasn't even that tasty. :oS
GAY!

My mum rang earlier too. She has a right go that I don't ring her enough (hello, ever thought to ring me?!) but then talks for like 10 minutes and is then all "You're boring me now!" WELL SCREW HER THEN!!!! And she's all "I've got a new phone" and I'm all "I don't even care, it's a gay phone and you suck". OK, I didn't use the word "suck", because I'm not American. But I still was unimpressed.

I'm going to go now, because I've blathered on long enough, and I have a life. Well -- I'm watching Skins in a bit anyway!

:oD
