Dissapointment!

Thursday had to be one of the most dissapointing days of my life! You see, to celebrate into the woods at school, we were all planning on going out for a meal at nando's which is DELISH.In town. The table was booked and I had two friends coming back to my house after school so we could all get ready together and glam ourselves up! But then....lunchtime ruined it all! We were called for a meeting in the drama room about scripts. when we got there, a sixth former came over to us and said "You do know about the meal don't you, it's off" and we were like WHATT!
It seemed that everyone new apart from us! What had apparently happened was, some silly annoying boy that wasnt invited found out and told the deputy head lady that we were all going out for a meal. SHE WASN'T HAPPY. Next thing she was on the phone to nando's cancelling our table! The reason for this was, that you have to be 14 to go out for a meal on your own. and she got all funny about the sixth formers being responsible of the year sevens that were attending. Everyone was so hacked off with her, she has to ruin everything. I don't get it because the sixth formers are 18 and adults anyway. I think it was also to do with parental consent. But I was soooo dissapointed!
My two friends came back anyway, because we thought that we would go on our own and that it would be a laugh. We rung parents to check that this was okay. But when one of my friends rung her mum she said that the money could only be spent on the meal for into the woods! I was soo dissapointed at the time, but I see where she is coming from. Also the fact that it was her mums money...not hers. So in the end I had an early night in, dreaming of the night I would of had!

the unachieavble is achievable :)

This title is the phrase that I did not think I would be saying before performing into the woods at my high school. I was fed up. The play is confusing,hard and extremely stressful to learn. If you get even a little scrap of detail wrong in this play, there are high chances of messing it up for everybody. But now I hate the thought that it is all over. It was amazing. I don't think that any of the cast thought that we would do it, even at the saturday rehearsal we had before the show (which was on the Tuesday). But we did :)! We did a damn good job of it too! I hated my teachers for forcing me to attending rehearsals that were unbearably boring. But I kind of feel guilty because it was so worth it :)
We performed for three nights. Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday. All nights went good but Thursday was the one that everyone was exicted about. The last one, the buisiest too. Everyone made the most of each line that they said. At the end, the teachers came up on stage whilst we were in the wings watching :) They were given flowers and they made a speech :) The musical director cried :'( awhh .. After the curtain had gone down. We all screamed and ran on to the stage and hugged each other, a truly fabulous and buzzing feeling. Then the lights went out! It was halarious we all just fell over! This show technically wasn't our last performance because we were performing in front of Key stage 3 the next afternoon, but it was our proper last one :) I loved it... much more than I thought I would!

Floral on me?


I was trying on some Floral stuff in Primark the other day with my friend. She said it looked really nice so she took a picture of it, I have attached it for you to see., But I need some comments because I am not sure if the dark colour goes too dark with my hair or not? I don't know whether to go back and buy it or not? I was also thinking is the top too grannyish or is the floral in? Please help me bloggers! Thankyou! love billie x.

A childhood in theatre :)




In the past and up till now I have been very involved in performing arts. I love it and every time I go on stage I can feel the magic :) i've attached a few pics of me on stage or in costume. I have done many musicals and shows such as : Annie, Oliver, Fiddler on the roof (the tour) + The king and I. I go to stage by stage performing school which is in my local town, Exeter. I have been since I was 4 so it's a major part of my life. I have decided that I don't want a career in it, because I want to settle my life and have a family of my own, and when you are involved with performing arts you have to travel and are working 24/7. But I love it as a hobbie.


Singing is probably my strongest point and acting comes closest to this. But i can't really dance! At stage by stage, Dance is included at stage by stage. But I jus't dont have the nackk! I hope my love for performing arts carries on and I can do it as a hobby till I am to old to do stage by stage anymore. But i can't really imagine my life without it, i'm so used to it! xxx
