Last night's show was absolutely fantastic.
In true BHS fashion, they managed to pull it off brilliantly and without any noticeable blips, par exemple crashing into the wall with the lawnmowermobile.I'm not sure why they were all so worried about it in the first place, because I did not notice a single imperfection.
It was so strange to be looking up at a stage where the actors and actresses are not total strangers, but are some of your best friends.
I think Nikki and I wet ourselves laughing for about half an hour at Sarah or should I say, Miss Lynch, dancing by herself at the ball.
In a way, I felt sorry for her character; that she did not have a partner to dance with, yet also for the actress herself since there was no lion action to keep her happy. So sad. Seriously though, she was fantastic.
I was also in stitches at Jennifer, who was such an amazing Patty. She portrayed Patty's over-enthusiasm so well that, at the end of the show, I felt like asking for her autograph. As much as I wanted to, however, I refrained from doing so just in case any sane person was around to see and thought I was some deranged/ stalkerish fan that believes Patty actually exists.
I cannot get over how amazing Catherine was. Obviously I'm aware that she's not exactly what you'd call talentless, but that girl has not only got a quare voice, she's also a fantastic actress, and according to every boy in Belfast High, should wear black leggings all year round.
Her solo was so brilliant that it reduced me to tears, not that I'm a toughie to break or anything, but it was that good. I'm so proud of her.
During the break, everyone kept coming up to me and saying " Catherine is amazing" like I should take credit for it or something, so I was just like " thanks."
Besides all things Grease, not much has been happening. It's been dominating our lives- from the people that are going to watch it to the people that are acting in it. To an extent, I think things will return to normality once it's all over and to be honest, I think it might be nice to talk about something other than Grease for once and to sit together again at lunchtime.
I'm not really sure what my plans are for this weekend, but I do hope it will involve something semi-interesting and which is not msn or bebo-related.
It mightn't be such a bad idea to read some Age of Innocence, but now that we've watched the film, I have lost what little desire I had to read it. It's not like it's a particular challenge to think of what might happen at the end of the book since a) Miss Miller told us the ending on our very first week of owning the book, when we supposedly should have been on our 200th reading and b) " it is not a plot driven book", thus the ending is obvious: nothing with happen except for maybe a passionate kiss on the hand from Archer to Ellen.
Climactic indeed.
Any minute soon, there will be an interval for Grease and everyone will traipse up to the canteen or sixth form centre, queue up for what seems like eternity, only to discover that the only "treats" they have available biscuits, which are presumably soggy, and plastic cups of tea. If you're lucky, I guess you could always find yourself with one of Mrs Stirling's malteaser buns from last week. If you aren't quite so fortunate though, you might end up with one from a fortnight ago, but nevermind, you'll only get food poisoning or maybe a bit of a sore throat from nearly choking to death on all the hairs inside the bun. Nothing too serious.
Autumn Soul is very very soon and, to be honest, I am so unprepared for it this year.
I'm hoping that's a good thing...
We will soon see I suppose. I'm extremely excited anyway because though it is only for a weekend, there's something very special about it.
Will update you soon.
Au Revoir.
