Well I passed my theory test on Monday! What a relief! 47 out of 50, which was brilliant!
Now I can book my practical and start putting some real work into it.
Hopefully I'll be driving by the end of the year!:D
Just a quick update!

Dear Old Ju
My Poem to Julian of the Famous Five!
Dear Old Ju
How could we describe you?
As Chivalrous and brave
Or a pompous ass?
In Enid's mind you wander free,
With the other three,
Not Forgetting Timmy,
In adventure filled lands
Endless Summers of Ice cream,
Ginger beer and picnics
Paint a picture
Of times gone by
Always ready for action,
Yet so sensible we could scream,
So infuriatingly steady,
But ready with a bright idea
Keeping Anne safe,
And George and Dick,
In their place,
Grown ups look to you
Dear Old Ju
How could we describe you?
As Chivalrous and brave
Or a pompous ass?

Kerry Ellis- The British Elphaba!
Yesterday, the 7th June 2008, Kerry Ellis played her last perfromance as Elphaba- The Wicked Witch of the West, in Wicked!
Kerry Ellis leaves to reprise the Role of Elphaba on the Broadway stage, and will come back to the same Role in Decemeber, in London! Yes!
Possibly the best Elphaba ever, Kerry took over from Idina Menzel in 2006, and has been playing Elphaba ever since- and May I say- Long may she do so!
She plays Elphaba along side Dianne Pilkington, who Plays Galinda/Glinda the good witch, Oliver Tompsett who plays Fiyero, and many other talented people to bring the amazingly Spectacular Show WICKED to life on the London West End stage!
So Good Luck to Kerry, as she heads off to Broadway for Five Months! And She comes back in December to her role as Elphaba! What shall we do without you??
Can't Wait Until You're back!!!!

Friendships
Friend: Noun 1 a person whose company and attitudes one finds sympathetic and whom one is not closely related
Thats the dictionary definiation of Friends. It states the basic truth of friends. What it doesn't tell you is the trouble, the patience, the trust, the secrets and the laughter which being friends with someone is meant to be.
Another way to define Friendships is someone with whom you feel comfortable. A friendship is another way to not find yourself on your own, and it's meant to alienate the feeling of loneliness.
But like any good relationship, you have to work at maintaining them, very much like a garden, weeding out the weeds and nurturing the flowers to make them grow.
When this break down, it all breaks down, and however hard you try to save it, the harder it becomes, because everything is popping up when you turn your back on it.
You try and try to saveage what is left, but you know, deep down that all is lost. It is broken beyond repair. And one thing that once could be fixed is blown out of proportion and makes everything irreverisable.
Friendships have to be nurtured, and have to be allowed to grow. They can become stale and dry like bread, and dead like the bleakest environment on earth.
The smallest thing can crack the ice in the beginning, just as the smallest thing can push it right over the edge.
Letting go is the hardest part, because in the really good relationship, and friendship alike, you don't want to let go of what you once had, and facing up to the fact that all is over, is one of th bravest things anyone can do. Moving is another huge step, and healing can take ages.
But the worst part is knowing that you've lost something really good from your life and you'll never have anything else like it. There will be other relationships and friendships but they all differ from each other, like people.
The fact is, you have to learn to move on with your life. The hardest part has yet to come.

Idina Menzel!!!!!!!!!!!
I met her! Today in fact, the lovely lady herself in London, at the Dress Circle showbiz shop!
Me and My friend were going to see her, and went up to London to see her, and get copies of her album signed!!! OH MY GOSH!
Well, we first we got lost! Went the wrong way, because I thought I knew where I was going and didn't. It turns out I have a crap sence of direction when I don't have a map in front of me! But anyway, we found the line eventually! It was well long!
Idina Menzel arrived at about One o'clock and and you could hear her arrival because all the fans at the front started yelling and screaming! Being relatively near the back, we couldn't see her arrival, but we saw her leave, but more about that later.
We were standing in the driizzle for about two hours, inching slowly forward towards the shop! We were getting board, and a Danish Gentlemen kept us amused, along with two very nice Amercian Ladies behind us.
Finally we were in the shop, CD's at the ready, cameras out, and suddenly excited.
Then we went down these steps in to the basement of the shops and There was Idina Menzel, sitting and signing copies of her New Album, I Stand, which I highly recommend. People were taking pictures, and as we were told that we couldn't have pictures taken with Idina, we were snapping away. Although when we got down there, an assisstant asked if we wanted pictures (She managed to cut the top of my head off- A nice one of Idina Menzel, but not of me!;-))
So we got to meet her, if only for a second or two, but it was amazing, because she was such an amazing person. She had only been going to stay for an hour, and decided to hang on to the end, and she didn't seem upset about that in the least, although it probably was exhausting for her! So kudos for Idina Menzel for sticking to it!
Once we were out of the shop, we went to get some lunch, and in probably the quickest meal ever recorded in the restaurant we were in, we were outside again, to see her leave the Dress Circle. She was just amazing!
So after we found a cash point and got some money, and once we were sure it was all ok to go back into the shop, we went back and I found the second best thing of the day- The Wicked Grimmarie! Oh Blessed day! For at least five pounds cheaper than at the Appollo theater! Shame I couldn't get Idina Menzel to sign it, but still it was a lucky find! There were only two left!
So all in all one brilliant day! And even better- Seeing Wicked in three weeks again! Yay! Just before Kerry Ellis goes to Amercia!
OH MY GOD!!! It was a faboulous day!!!

In One of Those Moods!
It's been one of those weeks where you actually look forward to going to school, yet when it arrives you don't want to be there.
So I have been all over the place this week. One minute, I want to be with my mates having a laugh, but when I'm with them I don't want to be there. ARGH! It's one of those things that make you so mad with yourself that you don't know what to do.
Anyway these mood swings have probably cost me a friend this week. I cut over her when she was trying to apologise for winding me up earlier that day. I shouldn't have got wound up, of course, but it's part of my personality, and I did. Anyway she's not talking to me now and probably for good reason because of what I did, and I don't know what to say to my other friends because she is rather popular.
The basics are that I can't seem to keep my temper, or my cool, or anything else recently. Right now for example I want to sit down and weep, but I know I can't because I would be being silly.
I know these are not excuses, but I am Tired, exams are only a week or so away and I've just got off my period. I know they are not excuses for snapping at my friends, but everything mounts up surely.
Benefit of doubt maybe?

iPod-less
So for the first time in about a year and a half, I find myself iPod-less!
The headphone connection broke sometime on Monday, as I realised when I was walking home from school after Geography! At first I thought it was the head phones, because sound was only coming out of one side of them, but ..r investigation it wasn't the headphones, because no other headphone or my iPod speakers worked either, thus leading me to the conclusion that it was the headphone connection that was broken.
So, after having got my dad to take it in to the place where were brought it, and being told we had to send it to Apple, we found out that only two Apple shops in the area are in London! Instead we checked the site to see if there was anyone around who could fix it, and to cut a long story short, we found someone in Caversham who could fix it for about sixty quid which is not bad considering how much I paid for the iPod!
The snag is that the iPod can't actually be repaired, which means that they replace my iPod with a brand new(ish) one, as in same make, same edition, but without the fault, and needing my music to be uploaded to tbe iPod again.
Not that I'm complaining too much. I mean I get a new one, for a very low price, and in about five days, so thats like on Monday or Tuesday! Soon!
And until then I have my mum's MP3 to keep me entertained! I had my own a few years back, but I can't say I liked it. It was all a bit too fidderly for me, and I wasn't a fan.
My first digital portable music device was an old iPod Mini, which was second hand and was on it's last legs and didn't last long, and was Pink, but it was brilliant! And when it broke I wanted another one, but my parents said "no". Instead they got me a MP3 for my birthday which wasn't what I wanted but took it with good grace. Needless to say, it didn't last very long.
Finally, with a job, money and some persauding I was allowed to but my 5th Edition Classic 30 gig iPod, and have never looked back. Now I'm without it and have to wait until Monday or Tuesday to have a "New" one in place of my old one, sent and picked up!
Ah well. We can't always have it our way!
