Good existence!
When I last talked to you, I was sat down waiting to find out the results of the callback to my first ever audition for a play. I have to say I was really quite disappointed with the outcome as I was given one of the small parts instead of the one I wanted. I got told there is still a chance I can get an important part but it's between 3 of us so I'm not too sure how it will go but I really want to get a bigger part than what I was left with. When it comes to things like this I'm really particular about what part I do get and because I've done quite a bit of acting in the past I really believed I should have gotten a larger part than I did. Regardless, I'll try and move on from it and progress to the next thing.
Since then I solved my problems of being a bit let down with myself by a cheeky portion of cheesy chips from the takeaway. I've just been informed that doing that is a bit girly, but I disagree. Nothing soothes the soul like a quick takeaway for dinner. However, I may have found something even more soothing. Me and Natasha had a plan to watch The 25th anniversary version of Phantom of the Opera whilst eating Ice cream. We decided that after the "Success" of our experiences of Ice cream and Frozen that we would attempt it again. Well, success I think should be deemed as me sitting through it in general. A great success was fewer than 10 complaints regarding my opinion of the film I think. I have to say though, as a fan of Phantom of the Opera, it was a lot easier to manage that.
We had the same ice cream as last time and, needless to say it didn't last a very long time as we both inhaled it rather quickly. I do think though that it was the perfect way to celebrate 2 months with Natasha with a musical we both really like and a food that we both really like.
Tomorrow I have my photo for the Hockey club at around midday, as well as another Fiddler on the Roof rehearsal in the evening lasting 2 hours. 1 of which requires another set of dancing on my part. Crap. After that we will make sure we find some time together before our lectures start again on Monday.
Thanks for your time

The happiest man I could imagine being
Hi friends!
So this morning was pretty basic for me, I didn't do a lot and because Natasha's parents were here for the weekend she went off with the for the day. I would have updated you earlier but there just wasn't a lot to write about at all, the only thing of note was updating the appearance of my blog and making it look pretty!

I would have updated you earlier but there just wasn't a lot to write about at all, the only thing of note was updating the appearance of my blog and making it look pretty!
The main thing today was a dancing rehearsal for a dance to the song "To Life". Before this I did not realise how long this dance would be and I'm quite surprised to have gotten through it, despite not having a lot of hard things to do at all. We spent 2 hours dancing and dancing and despite my initial self consciousness, I eventually got into the swing of things and got more comfortable. We managed to get through the whole routine by the end after having started late due to people taking their time. They even filmed us, without permission might I add, and put it on the cast Facebook page.
Yaaaaaay.
Immediately afterwards I came to an audition, where I'm currently talking to you from. This is for the one act comedy I was telling you about called "Captive Audience". I've managed to get a call back and have just done it and I'm now waiting for the results. There are a few of us here just talking while we wait but I'm excited to find out. I'm sitting by the window and looking out over the dark surroundings outside and although uncomfortable, it does look really nice.
Later I'll be having another ice cream and film session with Natasha, while we watch Phantom of the Opera and a few others. Today is actually quite a special day in relation to others, because today marks 2 months since she made the happiest man I could imagine being and I've never looked back since, I'm a bundle of joy!
Anyway, I have to go back in now so wish me luck!
Speak soon, thanks for your time

Torrential conditions
<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/13526901/?claim=wdg9aa4dhf4">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>
Hey everyone!
I was quite optimistic about hockey to be honest, stepping outside for the first time while walking to the astroturf, the weather wasn't too bad actually. I was messaging Natasha at the time so I decided to make her laugh as while I was walking, she came to her window to wave at me. So naturally to try and make her laugh I decided to skip down the path waving back at her!
No one was looking, it's alright! I did top with my frolicking and prancing though after withdrawing from her sightline, to preserve the small element of dignity that I've got left after my musical theatre related hijinks that I've had. I got to hockey training early and the weather was rather cold. We were even at the point where we were debating if it was colder than our last training, which is 8-10pm. So you can imagine what it was like.
We got into training and played in majority, an attack vs defence format so we could improve. I think before I was forced to have my turn as a defender, (Spoiler alert, I was bad,) My crowning achievement was nutmegging the second team captain while he was defending. Apart from that I didn't do too much to be honest. By this point the rain had already started coming in and it was coming in heavily. I had kept my hoodie on, to try and retain as much heat as possible but I got absolutely soaked. We finished with a big game with everyone for the last 20 minutes, by which time the conditions were torrential, it felt like a scene from a disaster film with the rain circling our astroturf like a predator with it's prey. My shoes were coming undone every 5 minutes and it got to the point where I just left them undone. Since I was up front I was hanging around the defenders (One of which included my captain) until something happened that we needed to move for. We were each saying how we surely can't have very long left and how our faces hurt. I was fairly confident I could only see out of one eye and complained that emotions hurt due to the cold. Regardless of that, we eventually finished up and I jogged back to my room in order to get a shower and get ready for a pizza making session with Natasha. I'm still pretty convinced I developed trench foot due to the excessive soaking I got.
I'd been given pizza bases from home so we used those and some tomato spreadable pizza topping. We decided that in order for it to be a quality pizza, we needed to include a hell of a lot of cheese and we decided to be creative and put sweetcorn on it. We also got wedges which were made spicy with tikka masala curry paste. After they were done, we inhaled the whole lot and discussed how we were now better than every celebrity chef in the world. Since then, we've been spending the evening together and making each other laugh as usual and watching videos on youtube.
The day ahead is quite busy for me, I have a rehearsal for Fiddler on the Roof, where we will be learning a dance for "To Life". Crap. After that I have an audition for a play. That night there is meant to be a social for the theatre society and hockey society. But since it marks a special day, there is a third option that I will tell you about in the near future.
Anyway, I'm going to sign off for tonight and I'll talk to you next afternoon to keep you updated. It's nice to speak to you again.
Thanks for your time

A new role
Good afternoon!
So this morning has been a rather relaxed morning at my own pace after a relatively rushed experience yesterday. One of the first things other than check my blog this morning, was to check about a play I had been invited to audition in.
The director of this play works backstage in the musical theatre group at my university, and has been around for a number of years. He is directing a one act comedy called "Captive Audience". Needless to say, when he asked me about it, I had no idea what he was talking about. But the premise for the play is actually quite a funny one. The way he described it was that the main character, Tom, is basically handcuffed to a table in a university common room by a passing drunk and spends the entire play handcuffed there while interacting with other members of the university. When I read the script online, I wasn't sure of whether my parents would be ideal recipients, should I get the lead (Which I do indeed doubt). This being due to the warning of swearing in the play. This should, I imagine be expected in a one act play about university and drunks being in it, but I'll think more on the matter I think.
The dates for the performances of Fiddler on the Roof were also revealed to be on the weekend of March 14th and 15th. Both are matinee performances, although we have been told that a performance is possible in the evening of the Wednesday before if we make good enough progress. The prospect of performing a musical in March after starting in January was always an interesting one for me but I'm hoping that all will be fine. I think it would be easier with a musical that I'm more fond of. Fiddler on the roof isn't my favourite for the music, I also haven't yet watched the film just because of the massive nature of it. I just looked at the case now and it's 2 hours 52 minutes long and from what I heard, they cut out some of the songs as well. Interesting...
I've actually just seen a facebook update from my hockey captain saying that there is a training session today from 4-5pm. I completely forgot about this because usually I don't have the time to go but I don't have an excuse today but it will no doubt be fun I'm sure, however the weather is not very pleasant at the moment so there is a good chance I will return soggy. Soon after that I'm excited to be able to do a session with Natasha where we will be making our own pizzas. We had been talking about making them all morning and I think that will no doubt be the highlight of today. We haven't decided yet if we are making our own base or not but hopefully we don't get too messy!
Anyway, I'm going to head off now and get ready for hockey. I'll talk to you again in the evening and tell you about what I've been up to.
Thanks for your time

At my most vulnerable
Hey! I hope you've had a good day!
I left you just before I'd had lunch and I can't say that it would have made a difference because it wasn't too interesting a meal I have to say. After I'd finished the food and washed up like a good, tidy fresher, after having a quick relax, I decided to pass the time a bit. In order to do this, I decided to turn on the procrastinator and start up FIFA 15. After playing a few games and coming up with a few more reasons (That I won't pay any attention to) why I shouldn't play this game anymore, I decided to play a few more. I didn't have a very good run of form at all I have to say and was quite upset with how it went. But regardless, I reminded myself that I was indeed just playing a game and I calmed myself down.
I had a late lunch and by the time I had finished playing it was getting onto 4 o'clock and in order to see each other today apart from in the rehearsal where we had to be quiet, Natasha came over and we enjoyed each other's company as she was bored as well. We watched a few YouTube videos and shared a few laughs before she went to meet her friend to walk to the rehearsal with her. I set off and as I hadn't had any dinner, I walked into a takeaway to get a portion of chips. Weirdly enough, sat down waiting for a similar order was the chairman of our musical theatre society. Seeing as this gave me even more reason to be able to get my food, I sat down with him and we talked while waiting for the food to be made before continuing the rather cold, but now less cold, walk to the rehearsal room. We actually bumped into someone else in the production of Fiddler on the Roof, who is playing Lazar Wolf and is my alcoholic FIFA 15 friend from 2 nights ago! So we walked and talked together which made it an easier walk for the 3 of us until we got there, where we started going over a few songs from the show, including one we hadn't done before! After the rehearsal, we went to the pub where we stuffed our collective faces with free pieces of garlic bread and potato wedges until the platter was empty and laughed together. I wasn't planning on drinking at any point tonight, so I just had water while I got Natasha a limited edition guava J2o. Apparently they're really nice but I think I'll stick to the Orange flavour!
Back in my room it was safe to say I had a moment. Luckily Natasha was there to help me through it but it was hard to go through and it is even harder to tell you about, but I feel that I should. It has been a few years since my Granddad's passing and there is not a day that goes by where I don't miss the man. He was truly a best friend for me and a really inspirational role model as well that I modelled myself off. I had thought of him during a conversation and I could feel myself just get really low. I'm man enough to admit that I cried. I didn't think I would but I did. The man meant a lot to me and he's gone. It's a hard reality to swallow but I think for getting through it I will be all the better. I felt at my most vulnerable but came through and although I've been hit in the past by it, I'm still going to keep fighting. Natasha was brilliant though and seemingly made me smile with the least of effort as she seems to always manage to make me do. I'm getting a little emotional as it is so I'll have to leave you for now and then go to bed. Tomorrow I have a pizza making session with Natasha and audition material to tell you about!
Thanks for your time as always

That woke me up
Good afternoon!
This morning, I woke up after a late night wanting to just remain asleep. It was just before 9am and I'd woken up for the second time so I thought that I'd just grab my laptop and check my emails. After siphoning through a standard amount of rubbish, I saw one about a meeting that was taking place at 9:30am around 15 minutes walk away.
That woke me up...
So after panicking a little bit and checking the time repeatedly, I decided that I didn't have the time I'd probably need for a shower and to then be able to get down in time. I've had one or two mornings like this since being at University, but this meeting had slipped my mind completely. I feel there have been a number of times when I've written the word "oops" to you, this shall be another occasion.
The meeting is as a result of an initiative of the University to have "Course reps". These are people that are voted in by the students to act as the link between the students and the staff so opinions can be put across more effectively and it helps productive changes in the university. Near the start of the first semester, I gave a speech to our class of roughly 450 students as to why I should be elected as a course rep, needless to say that's the biggest audience I've stood up and spoken in front of since I've only ever performed in front of big audience either in a musical, orchestra, or solo musician. I guess this was a case of being thrown into the deep end as so to speak. I was one of 4 people that were selected and since then, there hasn't been too much that I have had to do, but today's meeting was really useful.
We have a special purple T-Shirt to wear to all things course rep-ly and I have to say, since picking it up, I can't say that it is the best colour for me. I guess they serve the purpose of standing out pretty well but that seems to be the only benefit of them, as well as being a good souvenir I guess. The meeting that we had is attended by lecturers as well as the course reps for the school of Psychology across all three years. I had the weird sensation of sitting in between my lecturers for Stress and Distress and Psychology as a Science, which is relatively scary as a prospect but I survived. I was surprised with myself that I went to one of them afterwards to give them some feedback on his module which seemed to be well received.
When I got back I put a message on the Facebook group that our Psychology class has to keep in touch with each other. I got some feedback from a guy about feeling spammed by emails so that might result in me passing a survey around to everyone, ironically discussing email spam through the medium of email but oh well!
Later today I've got another rehearsal for Fiddler on the roof and a weekly visit to the sponsor pub for a wide variety of free food afterwards which will no doubt be amusing. I'm quite curious as to the general reaction to the football team I came up with a friend so I'm sure you can appreciate I'm a little nervous in that regard! I'm also planning to have a session with Natasha tomorrow of making our own pizzas which will no doubt be interesting and have quite a lot of cheese all over the pizzas!
Anyway, I'll speak to you later after my rehearsal and tell you how it went. I hope you enjoyed catching up, it was nice to be able to tell you about the meeting.
Thanks for your time

Being around people who care
Good day!
So since my last communication with you I was attempting to stage a recovery from my first night of alcohol consumption since being back at University. I'm glad to say that the battle was fought and won quite easily and despite a pretty boring morning, I spent time in the afternoon effectively cleaning my room in order to return it to its once former glory.
In other words, not as much of a pig sty as it had become...
I did a lot of planning today about events that were to come up. I realised that the hockey club are having their annual photo shoot this Sunday so I'm really excited to be involved with that. I was also planning my time for the next set of lectures that were to come up starting next week. I also took pictures of the football team members that were created last night in order to show to Natasha and a few other friends as we had decided we were going out tonight. Part of the day was spent with Natasha and planning another potential ice cream and film session and generally enjoying each other's company.
This evening, me, Natasha and a group of friends, Aidan, Beth and partly Matt went out because we wanted to support one of our closest friends at University to date, Jess. I'd actually been to get a takeaway with her last week I think, but she had been having a really tough time today for reasons I won't go into. So as a group we all came together and came out with her to our favourite pub, and sponsor of our Musical Theatre society. Despite having entirely varying amounts of alcohol, we had one of the best nights out I think I've actually had to a pub with a smaller group of people. This was because, and there is one person this obviously applies to, I know for a fact that I can trust the people in this small circle of friends. Even though we have our jokes either way, I know that I will be there for them if they need me and likewise.
They're a group of people that I can consider a set of really good friends and even if we don't know each other amazingly well or don't hang out all the time, they're still people in my life that I know I can trust and that will be there. Even if Beth listens to way too much Paramore or Jess seems to like the song "Anaconda" a bit too much, they're still pretty brilliant people and I wouldn't trade them. I enhanced a perspective of life today...
You can be in an environment where there are people with multitudes of friends. They can seem to be coming out of their ears. But the ones that really count are the ones that will stick by you, even if you sometimes feel you don't deserve them. To have Natasha, as well as those guys and the others that I've mentioned in my life makes me consider myself extremely lucky. We came to be with Jess because she needed us to be there and I know that anyone of us would have the same reception. I know that I've had to get up and sing in front of all of them before in the past and felt at ease, I know that I felt better about it afterwards because of things they've all said about me and how I did. It's heartwarming.
I feel as though I've gone on a bit of a slightly emotional garble, because I felt like I wanted to put the point across and write something poignant. So I will take a turn and tell you that it was a brilliant night out and we ended up in a takeaway where I was a lot better with my order, having learnt from last night and got a small portion of cheesy chips as I'd not really eaten properly and was hungry today. I'm going to be in bed soon but I'll speak to you tomorrow, I think I'm going to be doing something with Natasha and be a bit different with our day, but I'll make sure there is something interesting to tell you about as always
Thanks for your time

So since my last communication with you I was attempting to stage a recovery from my first night of alcohol consumption since being back at University. I'm glad to say that the battle was fought and won quite easily and despite a pretty boring morning, I spent time in the afternoon effectively cleaning my room in order to return it to its once former glory.
In other words, not as much of a pig sty as it had become...
I did a lot of planning today about events that were to come up. I realised that the hockey club are having their annual photo shoot this Sunday so I'm really excited to be involved with that. I was also planning my time for the next set of lectures that were to come up starting next week. I also took pictures of the football team members that were created last night in order to show to Natasha and a few other friends as we had decided we were going out tonight. Part of the day was spent with Natasha and planning another potential ice cream and film session and generally enjoying each other's company.
This evening, me, Natasha and a group of friends, Aidan, Beth and partly Matt went out because we wanted to support one of our closest friends at University to date, Jess. I'd actually been to get a takeaway with her last week I think, but she had been having a really tough time today for reasons I won't go into. So as a group we all came together and came out with her to our favourite pub, and sponsor of our Musical Theatre society. Despite having entirely varying amounts of alcohol, we had one of the best nights out I think I've actually had to a pub with a smaller group of people. This was because, and there is one person this obviously applies to, I know for a fact that I can trust the people in this small circle of friends. Even though we have our jokes either way, I know that I will be there for them if they need me and likewise.
They're a group of people that I can consider a set of really good friends and even if we don't know each other amazingly well or don't hang out all the time, they're still people in my life that I know I can trust and that will be there. Even if Beth listens to way too much Paramore or Jess seems to like the song "Anaconda" a bit too much, they're still pretty brilliant people and I wouldn't trade them. I enhanced a perspective of life today...
You can be in an environment where there are people with multitudes of friends. They can seem to be coming out of their ears. But the ones that really count are the ones that will stick by you, even if you sometimes feel you don't deserve them. To have Natasha, as well as those guys and the others that I've mentioned in my life makes me consider myself extremely lucky. We came to be with Jess because she needed us to be there and I know that anyone of us would have the same reception. I know that I've had to get up and sing in front of all of them before in the past and felt at ease, I know that I felt better about it afterwards because of things they've all said about me and how I did. It's heartwarming.
