I've been sad and started up an online diary. If you wanna take a peek and catch up with my latest shenannigans it's at LiveJournal
Well, those are my vital stats. As you can probably already tell I am ever so slightly mad. (Hmm, would never have guessed eh?) So, you're here in search of infromation about me? You wouldn't be here otherwise would you? Well, here goes. I hope this satisfies your curiosity.
Well, what else can I say about myself? I have a fiancé, Ollie, who is a couple of years older than me. He's lovely!!! He's a lot better looking than he gives himself credit for. I could go on but I'd only end up sounding all gushy and he'd probably accuse me of being cheesy or get embarassed. We met through the karaoke nights we both go to and "Paradise by the Dashboardlight" has kind of become our signature tune.
I'm a practising Wiccan too. This means that basically I'm what you might call a white witch.
I love musicals, especially Les Mis. (see my dream cast. ) I saw it when I was 13 and was hooked! But I am not content with just watching musicals, oh no, I like acting in them too. I've been on stage many times but my big ambition is to play Eponine though. I was involved in all the school christmas shows. After I left school I joined Lothian Youth Arts and Musical Company amd recently auditioned for, and made it into, Tempo Musical Productions. Click here to see what parts I've played, will play and would like to play. It's not just music from musicals that I like though, as long as it has a melody and lyrics I like it. The Beatles, Bon Jovi, Robbie Williams, Queen.....I like it all.
On occasion I indulge in a bit of writing. You can see two of my efforts on my Eponine fan fiction page. It's not something I do that often these days. My writing also extends to (rather amateurish) song lyrics but there is no way they're being showcased on my site. I also like reading classic books like Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables etc.
To explain the reason for the Eponine website, the whole Eponine thing comes from the fact that I identified a bit too closely with her. My luck in love was so like her's it was scary. When one of my friends heard me singing "On My Own", they declared that it was my song (even though they knew it was Eponine's). Things are different now though (obviously) but I like maintaining the site.
