I really have left this alone for a while, but I just haven't felt like writing. Then, something came up. Just today I was thinking about my darling friend, and then there he is. Turns up online on MSN. Drunk. This is my tee-total pulled together friend... drunk and spilling it all about how he's sick of everything. It's a bit of a downer that things aren't going great for him anymore, but I'm more just glad to be able to speak to him. Anyway, it could be a good thing him chatting to me when he's in a state like that. We always did connect and help each other through the harder of times. He seems disappointed in himself for falling off the no drinking wagon, but we all make mistakes. He's got nothing on a girl at my school, who killed two of her friends when drunk driving this weekend. Things like that are sad, and it makes me think, and appreciate how things are for me much more. I don't have everything I want, but at least I don't have the weight of something like that on me. Hopefully the girl will learn from it. It's a big reality check and a harsh one, but lord knows she needed one. Wrapping up my brain melt of my friend, I love him to bits so hopefully he'll get through this rough patch ok.
In other news... there's been the show, and Haumoana market day. Between which I successfully spent over $200. Whoops. I have a wonderful wrap dress now though, which I'm excited to start experimenting with. And a couple of new band shirts, a wicked scarf and pink fluffy handcuffs.
There are just two weeks left of school. Scary, since after that it's into exams. But then I just get to chill for summer. Maybe ask for extra hours at work, or find somewhere else to work some time over summer. I have a good feeling about summer right now. It will be fun. I'm thinking I'll have a few good groups of people to spend it with, between my general friends, and also the German girls, and Ashlea and Jas. We made a decent group today for the market. It was good. Also Kat coming here for summer is another bonus. I'm looking forward to her being around.
Oh well. Chats with Paulypoo time.

Life In Spotlights
It's been a long week. Very busy. Now I have a mixed feeling of achievement and failing. Achievement for an wonderful run of performances of Us and Them, and failing as I am not up to date with school work. Rehearsal monday night and performance for the rest of the week did not leave time for anything else, so tomorrow will be a huge day for catching up.
Recap! Last sunday I rushed to complete my speech in the morning so I could go and meet Max and get some time out of the house before rehearsal. He's a bit hard to bear, as he creeps me out entirely half the time. I think the worst part of the day was having to let him pay for my lunch as I was poor by that point. He did owe me though, so I guess that's ok. It was actually a nice afternoon. Louis joined us mid-afternoon, and catching up with him is generally fun. Then it was heading to rehearsal. Excellent as that meant catching up with HaBYT's wednesday cast, who I hadn't seen in a long time. After rehearsal I went back to see Louis again. Subway cookies for dinner, wipeout, and NCIS. I am pleased with my choice of returning there.
Monday called for another rehearsal straight after school. That finished earlier than expected, so I thought I had an hour to wait until the parents would be able to take me home, but their meeting ran late so I had two hours. I spent it at Louis's. Without Louis. That was relaxing, as I just chilled on the couch watching TV.
On tuesday I left school early to see Rachel about the hair modelling. She put a treatment in and my hair smelt like coconut for days. Yum. And of course, tuesday was opening night. It was a really small audience, but the small audience included a reviewer, who gave us a fantastic review. As the shows went on energy in them changed, and each night was a bit different. Fittingly final night was the best. The casts were excited and it all went off amazingly. All of my friends, family and associates that watched throughout the week gave great feedback. They all loved the show. The most nerve wracking audience member was Dan, but his comments were a relief, as he loved it.
After the final performance we after-partied. I now have sore legs from doing the twist and breakdancing, but it was all worth it. There were a few sad farewells for members that won't be returning, but it was a good night. Being up til 1am when I had work today maybe wasn't that good, but it was worth it.
In other exciting news, my BDO ticket and accomodation is booked. All that is left is transport, which won't be booked for another month. Definitely looking forward to that, along with all the other things happening in the holidays. =]

Sometimes people are so wrong it is not funny. To the extent I feel slightly ill at the thought of what they considered. I got wind of a bet which I don't like the sound of. I can't be too pissed because I have a bet of the same nature. But really... so, so wrong. Of course those concerned will be spoken to, because Lara feels bloody disgusted at the thought that's been brought up. Yuck.
That aside... yesterday... I did nothing most of the day, then headed to rehearsal for Us and Them. I think overall the shows will be ok, but a little worried about how on to it some of our cast are. Today was a bit more eventful, but still haven't a lot to say. Work was going as usual, taking the piss out of each other... until the supervisor got a call about his dad. He'd gone into hospital, so supervisor left and we were down to three staff members, which was ok. We only had a short spell that was really too busy for three of us. Also today I basically gave up my hair to someone. She needs a model for her final on her course, and I agreed to it. I think a drastic change is in store for my hair. Slightly scared about this, but hopefully I will like it.

Life In Affection
About a week since I last posted. A little slack, but it's not entirely just because I couldn't be bothered, I have been doing a lot. Last friday I had a HaBYT rehearsal from 10-1, then I met Charlotte to shop in Hastings, which was good fun. I gained a Metallica shirt and ski pants and zebra underwear, which is fantastic. After shopping Nick picked us up, and I got dropped at Kyla's. After a while there Max joined us. Conversation was amusing and dodgy, with Donna as well. I left and they watched Buffy until about 5am, which I definitely don't mind having missed. I worked saturday and I worked sunday so those were pretty mundane days. On monday however I went to Legal Tender, and it was rather fantastic. The downside was the barrier preventing under 18s getting to the mosh pit. We were able to go mosh for the final song of the night though, so I moshed hard for that. It was quite nice to catch up with Louis, but he's a whole other story. That night I gained an Airbourne shirt, which I love. Tuesday I spent the morning home, then had to go to the dentist. My teeth are in good order, it's ok! Then Bella, Gabby and Nicole came over and we watched Napoleon Dynamite and Jumanji. Wednesday I made it five movies in two days. I went to see Louis for a proper catch up and we watched G-Force, The Hangover and The Boat That Rocked. I had a nice afternoon, really. But that does bring us to the Louis story. He really does seem to be in love with me. And it wouldn't be a problem if I felt the same. He's a great guy. I know he'd treat me well. He's not likely to cheat. The only problem is the attraction thing. If I don't like the thought of them taking their clothes off, it blatently won't work. And it's not me that wouldn't be able to keep my clothes on, he has enough trouble with that even though I keep turning him down. I love him as a friend, I just hope he can deal with that or I might have to lose him as a friend to avoid hurting him, and I don't want to do that.
Anyway, today has been a bit of a bum day. Just been internetting, playing GH, etc. And now I'll continue internetting til I pass out. I really should hit an early night, but I know it won't happen.
