Greetings!

*waves*

Why hello there!

I am not in a typing sort of mood today ... I keep making mistakes, and therefore abusing my backspace key.

I just thought I should tell y'all (that was my nonexistent southern accent there...) that I'm not dead. I've just been asleep. A lot. And at school. And reading. And nurturing my growing coffee addiction. [CAFFIENE!]

But, I am not dead. Thank golly goshness...



My friend Madde is here!

Type something, Madde:

Hello.........;)

WOAH! That is literary genius, Madde.



So ... guess what I bought online the other day?

Well...?

GUESS!

I said GUESS, not 'wait for me to tell you!'

Just kidding. I got this:

A MOCKINGJAY NECKLACE!
It hasn't arrived yet, but when it does I will be sure to tell you. If anybody is actually interested in this ... =P
So, that's all for now folks.

Ciao!

Phantom of the Opera

Oh wow ...

Last night, I watched Phantom of the Opera, and I am ... gobsmacked. It was a delight: the costumes, the songs, the characters, the very idea is stunning. I adore it.

For those who don't know, it is a movie based on the play, based on a book. it is set in Paris, a bit over a hundred years ago. Underneath the Opera house, there is a legendary Phantom, whose face he covers with a mask. He teaches this girl, Christine, to sing. Christine thinks she has been visited by the Angel of Music. He falls in love with her, but she is also in love with this guy called Raoul or something ... anyway, a lot of stuff happens and I love it!!

My favourite song from it is Masquerade.

Masquerade

Paper faces on parade

Every face a different shade

Masquerade

The atmosphere is just brilliant. I adore the whole thing!

If you haven't seen it, I recomend you go to your nearest Dvd rental ... place ... and borrow it now!! Immediately!

Or else.

Shiver!

Yesterday I went to my friend's house, and, as usual, went home with a book to read: Shiver, by Maggie Stiefvater. I'm only onto page 107, but I Love it!!!

It's a romance story, about a girl who lives near these woods, with wolves in it. She watches the wolves; she always has. One of the wolves watches back.

***SPOILERS***

The girl, Grace, discovers that the wolves are werewolves, who turn into humans during the summer, and- um, sorry if I just gave you a million spoilers. Ok, I'm going to put a spoiler warning at the top of this part of the post. :)

***End of spoilers***

Anyway, I haven't finished it yet, but it's definetely going to be one of my favourite books. It has the most amazing ... atmosphere to it. It's beautiful.

I'll write more once I've finished it. :)

My SPIFFING hat!

So ... I've had a lot of fun today!
Know why? No?

Weeelll .... I found THE coolest hat, buried in the depths of our hat cupboard (yes, we have a hat cupboard ... sort of). So I've been wearing it around, feeling oh-so-cool. My entire family is insanely jealous of my stylin' hat. I suppose I should be modest, but who can be modest with this stunning object placed atop my head? It is truly a spiffing hatical.

So, I thought I should bless you with the sight of this darrrling hat.

I had a lotttt of fun blacking out my face in above picture! Like, like in newspapers! :D Only I bet they don't use paint.
Isn't it, just, the coolest hat ... ever?

Thought so. ;)

Wicked ... again.

Once again, I must absolutely stress my adoration for Wicked: the musical.
A. D. O. R. A. T. I. O. N.
I love it x ... 4095209674986091467298!
Everything about it is fantastic, flawless, beautiful. I feel almost like it was made for me. It's stunning, truly fantastic. I spend so much time thinking about it.
Honestly, it's stunning. I cannot describe how fantastic it is. It rocked my socks off. ALL of them (well ... more like both of them ... and my shoes!).
It just has so much ... depth, and yet is still funny sometimes. ('well we can't all come and go by bubble now, can we?').
I just wish it was in Sydney longerrr.... :(

WICKED!!!!!!!

I've been thinking lots recently about Wicked (the awesomest musical on the planet).

I've seen it twice, I have 2 shirts and the CD.

Whenever I turn the cd on to listen to it, even just a little bit, I end up dancing around the room, singing along with the songs, especially One Short Day (I love "who's the sage who bravely sailed out to save our posteriors?'), Defy Gravity, and No Good Deed (Let him never die...). IT'S SO AWESOME!!!!

I'm wearing one of my shirts, the Defy Gravity one. I have 'I heart Oz' and 'Defy Gravity'.

A few weeks ago I read the book, which the musical was based on. My opinion? Some parts were AMAZING, and some parts were .... weird. The musical OWNS it. It's amazing the whole way through. :D The book is a fair bit sadder, less funny, much more for adults, whereas the musical appeals to all age ranges. Both my mum and my 9-year-old sister love it.

It's a stunning musical, and ... wow.

It's so sad that it's leaving Sydney in September, because I WISH I could see it again!!! I really want emerald city glasses. :D
