***DRAMA QUEEN***

What's shakin' bacon?! .... Sooooo... >:U I can't stop thinking that no one reads this... I need to tell people to go on it more... o3o . At the moment the internet's crashed so I'm typing this in a text editing programme.... 
THE ACTUAL POST:
So lately I've been trying to get into drama groups and all that stuff... at R.I. the drama group is called Starburst performers and the year 8's were in terms 1&2 and year 7's terms 3&4. I'm a year 7 so we've been doing auditions lately, I did mine on Friday. It was really scary! I have a phobia of singing in front of people... I don't know why... I mean... they're just people, and everyone said I sang well... I sang the song Naturally by Selena Gomez and after that we had to read a poem called "Wild Ideas" out of a school journal. Afterwards everyone said that I was shaking like crazy and now I'm worried I'm not going to get in... He probably won't let me in because he thinks I have really bad stage fright... which I don't! I don't mind being on stage (in the dark with the lights shining on me...) I don't feel judged or anything... Sort of... free-ish, I wish that the drama teacher could see that... I bet that heaps of my friends will get in and I'll be really sad when I don't... Helena's definitely going to get in because she is a soloist for choir so she sang on of her choir solos for the auditions... plus that the drama teacher asked her to sing more... she's definitely in! I don't think I am though... But at least I am in one drama group... and I'm the lead! That's gotta be worth something... right? The play for my other drama class I do is called "Snow White and the Other Seven Dwarves"... you can kinda guess what part I am... Lots of my friends are in my drama class as well,  Bella's the cleaning dwarf (with a Yorkshire accent!), Kimberley's Penny-ochio (girl version on Pinnochio) as well as Prince number 3 (I don't kiss her!), Georgia's the Floor Manager (Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to dwarf factor! You're in for a fun packed night tonight!) and Bridget is Doctor Dwarf (all your medical needs taken care of ;) ) My characters are Snow-White, Fairy Dwarf and 70's Dwarf.... I'm kinda worried about 70's dwarf though... Everyone says that Megan and Fiona (teachers) are planning to put me in an afro and have hippy clothes! Plus I have to do a dance routine... I wonder what song..... *shudder* For my fairy dwarf part I just have to walk on stage and walk off, which is easy enough... I just have to remember that I am number 997 (fairy dwarf) and number 1001 (70's dwarf) My costume for fairy dwarf is going to be a tutu or a very long dress and some platform shoes, I'm excited about all of my parts because they all have really cool costumes (I <3 costumes!) Last time I did a play for Act 1 drama class I was the nerd and for my costume I got to wear big harry potter glasses and have my hair curled... That was pretty cool... (It's fun wearing fake glasses!) I'm not sure what I'll look like in my snow white costume though... It's hard to tell... Maybe I'm going to be just normal with a dress on.... I'm not really sure... Megan and Fiona said my snow-white character wasn't as over the top as the other characters, which I sort of understand... Except I think my snow-white voice is pretty OTT how it is... I think we find out next wednesday - friday if we've got into starburst performers... Anyway... I think the internet working again... Bye byyyeeeee!
Wish me luck!

I'm FISHING (and singing) in the rain!!!!







Today.... I went fishing... Ewwwwww!!! Well it was okay.... But anyways... Ewwwwwww!!! So we were looking out the window the sun rubbing itself in our faces so we decided to go fishing then as soon as we got the boat out with the picnic lunch in it, it started raining! Good thing we put the canopy! We used lures and Kawai as bait. The Kawai bait worked the best and the lure wasn't very good.... Then I caught a snapper!!!! Also later this week we went to a place called Mansion House I have a picture of it. Here are what the pictures are of:
1. Me abseiling
2. Mansion House 1st room
3. White Boy Peacock
4. Blue Boy Peacock (feathers up)

I just finished watching NZ's Got Talent and there was this little 7 year old who did this really weird dance go to this link to see it:

My favourites were the dog routine & the illusion routine! Here:
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=44151463 (the dog one! Playing to the music of mission impossible!)
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=44150398 (The illusion... And by the way I HATE their costumes like so ewww!)

The down side of the holidays... Having to do home work!!! I have a quest from Miss Bouley to almost finish my narrative (which is supposed to be a SHORT story) that is turning into the size an encyclopaedia! Even though it's fun doing it... Gotta go! Playing Cluedo!
P.S. Don't you think we should have dogs in the Mission Possible Production!?

How Happy are your Holidays!?

I'm back!... And I lost Cluedo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *sob* My grandpa always gets lucky flukes seriously on his 1st suggestion he made an accusation and he one just like that and since they only promised me one game they said I had to go to bed *boo hoo!!!* Anyway I hope every body is enjoying their holidays I know I am! I arrived in Auckland again on Wednesday and went to Kawau Island with my grandparents on Thursday morning with my sister Isabella (for those who don't know her! You've probably seen her helping paint the production scenes with my mum, she's only 4!) And to get to Kawau you need to go on the ferry or the water taxi I want to go on the ferry because it's so big and has snacks on it and it tours the whole island! But I always HAVE to go on the water taxi! *sob..* (okay... enough with the sobbing) But water taxis are fun to and don't take as much time so... 

Pro. is So!

The production finished wonderfully on Friday! Well I've heard anyway! I hope everyone enjoyed their shared lunches and the girls vs. boys on the top court doing a netball show down! But... I wasn't there I was half way across New Zealand going to Motueka, Nelson! Soz I gotta go gonna play Cluedo! 

P.S. I bags being Miss Scarlett!

Production 3!

Today we saw all the classes items! It was amazing with music... I wish we could see it happen with props, costumes and back drops. That would be awesome! My line was sooooo embarrassing. I was supposed to be a bride.... Who would have known without Reed Daily... I invented that name!!!! Shudder... every one... looking at me... CRYING!!!!!!!!!! 

Prouduction... 2!

Our masks are really coming along! We are just adding the finishing touches to our tails and painting the giraffe legs which is REALLY hard! They kept falling over and people kept touching them and paint was going everywhere and oh! Okay it was hard I'll leave it at that! But I think once everybody left the were OKAY... Each group is trying their best to perfect their groups dance and to learn their lines. 

Bye... and REMEMBER practice, practice, PRACTICE!
