Quick Update


Hello again! It's been a while since I last chatted to you so I thought I'd give you a quick update. Drum roll please.....

 I'M RUNNING THE SCHOOL SHOW!!!!

 Exciting right?
This year my school is putting on The Addams Family Musical and I am the director. Oh boy is it stressful. I remember my first show, "Oh My Disney". The S6 running it was always on edge and dashing about concerned about this, that, or the other thing. I distinctly remember thinking "why doesn't he just do this or that". Well now I know why and I understand why he was so stressed all the time. Finding cast and getting rehearsal times is DIFFICULT. However, my stress is more than his was because of a few small things. This year the show has been bought in...for £600 aaannnnnnddddd we only have six months to put it together instead of the normal year we have.

 I've never been a director before. I have no idea what I'm doing. We are stuck in a very short time frame. And I've spent £600 of the school's money. Great.

 On top of this all of my subjects (advanced chemistry, advanced biology, and higher history - which I'm crashing - are starting to yell at us about projects and assignments, so there's that. 

 Basically I'm stressed.

 On the other hand I have discovered a new way to relax, rekindle an old love, and research the show. Carrie Hope Fletcher! I've recently got back into watching her videos, particularly her "Watch Me, Wednesday" videos from when she played Wednesday Addams in the West End production of The Addams Family.(Carrie's Page)

 In other theatre news I went to see SIX the Musical with my friend and my sister has just booked The Lion King for us to go and see. I'm through the roof, honestly. 

 SIX was incredible! No lie, it blew me away. I've heard all the cast recordings, seen all the mega-six videos online and still I was unprepared for the sheer talent of these powerful women. The message was incredible, their voices were incredible and it was one of the best nights of my life. I cried several times and though at first I was sad that they couldn't come to stage door (it was a 2 show night with only 1 hour between shows) I'm kind of glad they didn't because I would have definitely been crying.

 I am looking forward to The Lion King. It is completely different from SIX (which is a pop musical) and I'm really excited to expand my horizons in terms of professional shows I've seen.

 So yeah, overall stressed, excited and doing my best!

 Signing off,

Just To Say Hi!

Hi! This is my first blog. I don't know what I'm doing and in a way this is really just for myself. To write down how I feel, instead of bottling it up. To have somewhere to keep experiences in life that I can look back on at some point. So I just wanted to say hi.  Let me talk about myself for a minute. I'm a nerd. I love science, books etc. Music is my happy place. If anyone knows Harry Potter, I'm a Hufflepuff. I'm in school and I just want a place to be myself, hence why I'm making this blog. I love photography and I'm also massively obsessed with Pentatonix, Superfruit, Twenty One Pilots, Alessia Cara, Panic! At The Disco, the list goes on. Some YouTubers I like include Dan and Phil, Superfruit, Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, Dodie and Tomska. That's it. I should probably change my name to DefinitelyTrash now shouldn't I?!  ProbablyTrash x

My Family and Love, Simon

Hi, I wanna talk about something kinda depressing today. So today I went to see the new movie 'Love, Simon' and I loved it. The storyline, the characters, everything. I thought it was fun and relatable but what scares me is the fact that the one thing I didn't find at all relatable was Simon's family. Now I know that those movie families are designed to be perfect, but his family still had its flaws. I found myself sat in a cinema with 3 of my best friends in the entire world, wishing that my family was like Simon's. I don't want to get emotional or act like me typing something on a computer screen is some kind of self-therapy but I'm really struggling with my family. I feel like all they ever do is yell at me, or get mad at me, or are disappointed in me and I hate it. I know that deep down they love me really but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to believe it. See me and my family are so different. They're strict and religious and have a lo
