labellementeuse | Welcome to the Cabaret...

I had a SPLENDID day yesterday. For a start, it was the middle day of the long weekend. I love those days: you feel like school should start again the next day, and every time you remember it's a long weekend you get a little rush. :) So it was bound to be a good day. After that, I slept in till nearly nine oclock- this is LATE for me, and I was sleep-deprived, so this was a good thing.

Then I had my audition for Cabaret, which is my school production this year. I was terrified, sang Summertime pretty well, or well for me, then did some reading. In an utterly, utterly crap German accent, I'm afraid to say, but at least I tried. Anyway, I got in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me say that a little louder:
I Got In!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm way more surprised/pleased about this than I should be, but yeah. *bounce* At any rate, we stuck aroudn for a couple of part auditions- the Emcee and one of the Telephone Girls. I didn't get either of them, but about 12 people auditioned for each part, and I got to the final three or four for both of them- I'm very, very encouraged. :-) I feel good- especially as it means Ellie, the director, likes my voice. *nods* So yeah, that was good.

Then I went to the library.
Or rather: I WENT TO THE LIBRARY
Please excuse excessive use of caps, but my arents cancelled my library card recently- I was undergoing serious withdrawal symptoms, but the kind and wonderful Clara lent me her card and let me get out several books. So yesterday afternoon I read Tithe by Holly Black. t'was good.

Finally, I went home. I was fortunate to have only one sibling at home: generally ther are five (counting me) and life is without peace. But as I said, it was the weekedn: so people were out. Finally, my mother took me down to a bookshop to buy me and her a book. She got Ladies' Number One Detective Agency, I got The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I'd been wanting to read it, rather desperately, ever since I read the first chapter in the school library- as it then disappeared from all human ken. >.< This is, as you may know, a very uncomfortable experience. So i got a book, and free too. Finally, we were walking past the CD store and I asked her to get me Bic Runga's Live in Concert with the Christchurch Symphony. She did.
<3!!!!! It is STUNNING, get it if you can. Slightly more coherent review on

So, I had a great day, and I felt like sharing. How was yours?
