Continuing with my Priscilla Playlist - Of course, the first time we ever see Oliver on stage is during this song. I wanted to make this extra special because of this reason, but my inspiration ever so slightly drained and I ended up with this. In case it is a bit misty as to why this pic is for this song, here are the lyrics I chose for this pic:

"Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man a man
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no-one else had
Wa!

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire..."

Possibly expect a replacement sometime soon. Song Number 2 Venus by Bananarama.

My Priscilla Playlist underway. I know I sound like a stalker, but I am just so much more creative with a title to go by :D. And of course from Priscilla, my favourite musical, gives added inspiration (well the thought of Oliver Thornton does anyway... :D) Song Number 1: Don't Leave Me This Way by Thelma Houston.

OH. MY. GOD. ("Oh, not AGAIN. She's such a stalker!" I hear Becky sigh) I AM COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH OLIVER THORNTON... OH, AND I ♥ PRISCILLA

Well Becky. I'm sure you're only too eager to guess what I'm about to have a mega-uber-mahoosive-giganticus-humongous-so-big-it-is-hard-to-describe-how-big-it-really-quite-is glee-fest of FABULOUS.

PRISCILLA!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Last Saturday I went to see "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert - The Musical" At the Palace Theatre in West End. 

And OH MY GOD it was AMAZINGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if you have heard of it, but it's only a year old here in London and, as I'm told, a huge deal Down Under in Australia. This fabby show is about two transvestites and a transsexual who are on their way to Alice Springs in the desert from Sydney, on an old, beat up tour bus called Priscilla. The reason behind this is because Tick/Mitzi's (played by Jason Donovan) ex-wife now owns the casino there and is offering them a few weeks of performing and a change of scene from dingy downtown Sydney. With Tick is Bernadette (Don Gallagher) a transsexual whose lover has recently died, and (in my opinion) the absolute STAR of the show, party boy/drag queen Adam/Felicia played by Oliver Thornton ♥, the yummiest thing since toasted Starbursts (try them over a campfire...mmmm). Seriously. The show was absolutely fantastic but seeing gorgeous Oliver strutting his stuff up there in a pink sparkly thong, suspenders, heels and not much else was the big, fat, juicy cherry on top of one of the most scrumptious cakes in a long, long time. I actually can't express how utterly fantastic the show was and Oliver, and if I could, I would probably be up there dancing with them. In fact, in my gap year, I was thinking of creating the job title "Official Diva of Advertising" for Priscilla and then I could work with Mr. Thornton.

And to add to my stalker abilities, here is a factfile of my favourite actor in the whole world (off the top of my head, of course):

NAME: Oliver Rhoe Thornton

BORN: Abergavenny, Monmouthshire (next door to herefordshire, where I live!! :D), 10th September 1979

OCCUPATION: Currently starring as Adam/Felicia in Priscilla in London

WEB: Oliver's official website

         Oliver's Twitter

So go on those websites and see for yourself how utterly stunning Oliver Thornton is. I would put on a picture myself, but:

a) there are so many to choose from I would be all night drooling over them before I chose about 100

b) there are probably lots of copyrights on the pics and I don't want to risk infringement

Honestly I would keep telling you every detail about Oliver but I already sound like a deranged stalker and I am quite tired and have SO MUCH revision to do tomorrow I need a good night's sleep. 

Go and see Priscilla. I gave it 100000000000000000000recurring out of 10 and I've seen almost all of the West End musicals. And like I told Becky: It is way, WAY better than The Lion King. Which is amazing, if you've seen it, so you'll know my standards.

Oh, and just in case I didn't mention it:

OLIVER THORNTON IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND YOU WOULD BE MAD NOT TO WATCH PRISCILLA AND FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM.

Actually please do be mad - all the more for me!! :D 

Night night xxx

Stuck in the Library

So YEAAAH. Me and Becky are in the Library because we are ILLLLL. I had a sicky bug on tuesday and was off and now I really can't be asked to do Games and so am in the Library. With Becky. And a big bar of 'Euroshopper' 44p chocolate. Yummersss.

This week has been a bit of a blur. I was here on Monday, but had a bit of an oddity of a day and felt a bit odd so on Tuesday I was sick and didn't come in. I was ill. I stayed in bed all day and ate soup and ice cream and drank Lucozade (compulsary drink for the invalid) and learnt  my Speech & Drama. I now now Juliet's lines in Act 2 Scene 5 of (duh) Romeo and Juliet off by heart. We had a right old laugh because at the beginning, my partner Jemima and I have to say:
Jemima: "Romeo and Juliet"
Charlotte:"Act 2 Scene1"
Jemima: "I'm Jemima and I'm playing the Nurse"
Charlotte: " And I'm Charlotte and I'm playing Juliet"
Except I said, being me, by accident :"I'm Charlotte and I'll be playing Jemima."
Fnar. Yes hahahaha. At least it wasn't the performance. Or else the adjudicator would be all :"Ooh, they actually can't remember who they are playing. And they're playing two of the most famous literary characters in one of the most famous plays EVER. I think DISQUALIFICATION."
Well she would if she was that awful bitch like last year. Which hopefully she is not, if she is I might just swear all the way through my poem. Which would probably get me expelled but I would DEFINITELY enjoy it.

Well toodlepip f'nowssss.

                                                       time but it's got rights and so have

                                                       I. I turn my head up to the sky, I 

                                                        focus one thought at a time I do 

                                                        not let the little thieves under my

                                                          tightly buttoned sleeves. You 

                                                           couldn't be a long time I

                                                            feel like I am walking blind

                                                                    I have nowhere

                                                                     I'll have time

                                                              there are no legible signs

                                                              there are no legible signs

                                                                     I like the way

                                                                     that you talk,

                                                                     I like the way

                                                                     that you walk

                                                               It's hard to recreate 

                                                             such an individual game

                                                            you wait you turn in the queue

                                                      you say your sorries and thank you's
                                                            I don’t think you’re ever
                                                        a hundred percent in the room
                                                             you’re not in the room 

                                                             you're not in the room
                                                          deepest, of the dark nights
                                                       here lies, the highest of highs

                                                     you say your sorries and thank you's

Monday, Day of Boredom

   Today was disappointing - technically it was my first proper day back at school (not counting Friday) and twas veeeeery boring. For example, in Biology we wrote notes, in French we wrote an essay, in English we wrote MORE notes, in Maths we had cakes (the only good point of the day) and in History, guess what? Yup, even MORE notes.

   On the plus side, I got to use my brand new pink twirling spaghetti fork during tea tonight as we had spag bol. And I didn't have any homework (with the exceptions of Maths revision for the Maths Mock GCSE on Thursday and finish the French essay which is due in on Tuesday so I didn't bother with that).

   On an even PLUSSER side, it is my birthday a week on Saturday!!!! I am so excited. Am having a sleepover with eight more people and we're all going to try and squish into my conservatory. We only just managed it last time, and there were only five of us!!

Saturday, Day of Snow and Guitar Hero

   Today, I stayed at home and played on Guitar Hero on the Wii for a bit. Then I decided to have a mess around on my MacBook Pro (eeeeeeeeeee!!!) for a bit, and ended up on iMovie for a bit. I made a movie about my cat, which I will post later. And of course Facebook, my favourite website (apart from this...) EVER. I am currently talking to one of my friends on chat right now.

Let's do it, and do it... here we come here we go, we gotta ROCK. Party Every day... party every day.

I gotta feeling.... that Tonight's gonna be a good night, that tonight's gonna be a good night, that tonight's gonna be a good good night.

Friday, Day of Free Food in Lessons

   Today, I actually went to school, which is a change from the rest of the week (we went back on Tuesday, but because of the snowy conditions most people left then - I was the first to leave, at breaktime)except yesterday, when I went in for the afternoon for the maths GCSE mock... Aaaaaaaaaaargh!!! I hope I did all right... :S


   In Latin, which is our first lesson, our teacher wasn't there so we had the batty head of department, who basically let us just go off into Z1and 'learn our latin lists' which we actually did, much to everyone's surprise. She came in halfway through the lesson to tell us that she'd just put the kettle on, and would any of us like a cup of tea, coffee or a hot chocolate? She walked back out with an order for five hot chocolates.


   In our History lesson, which we weren't meant to have but did due to our change of timetable, our teacher, who was as unprepared as us, gave is SIX Quality Streets each and we watched a video and then did some colouring in (bearing in mind that our class is between 14 and 15 years of age). 


   So I had a good day.


NB. this is posted on Saturday because due to an internet error and would have been posted on Friday :)
