Progress At Last
Well a lot has happened since my last few posts and I'm not sure what to start off with. I interviewed for a 5 month job on Monday, got offered the job on Monday afternoon and started working on Wednesday. I'm back in full time employment and now I can sort myself out and make plans and it's all a big relief! Can't wait for payday... although I still have to be sensible and save my money for a deposit on a new plce to live (the contract on our current flat is up at the end of April so me & my flatmate are going our seperate ways and looking for flat/houseshares so we can save some money).
On the same day I got offered the job I also got offered at part in the ensemble of the sedos production of Hair which made a good day even better. I thought I had sucked at the audition. The first song I sang so badly but the second song was not so bad. Still, I thought I had totally messed up and didn't expect it at all. We had a workshop today which was more or less the first rehearsal where we worked on some movement and one of the songs. I am going to enjoy doing this show so much. And I find it interesting/a challenge that we'll be up against the West End version which will be showing at the same time.
Last but not least, in fact probably the biggest that that will happen to me: I got a date to have my cornea transplant surgery! And it's happening a lot sooner than I expected. It's currently scheduled for May 19th however I need to take into consideration my job and rehearsals. I can to commit to both properly and not sure if taking 1-2 weeks out for recovery from the operation is a good plan. Not to mention that it will probably take another month before my eye gets over the "trauma" of what it has gone through so I might have to take the possibility of manky bloodshot-nessa and light sensitivity into consideration. Blah blah blah. And if I'm being honest I am also shit scared about having to have this operation and was shocked that I was offered a date 2 months away. So there's lots to take into consideration and I need to think about it all but they're happy to operate and that's what I wanted to hear.
Overall, quite a progressive week. There's still lots in my life to sort out (debts, finding a place to live etc.) but I'm getting there bit by bit. I'm trying to stay positive and hopefully more good things will come.

It's My Time
You've got to be in it, to win it I believe. So I've signed up at Benetton's website and made myself a little profile in the hope of becoming to face of their 2010 campaign. You can find me here:

Apparently they're looking for "We're looking for something different, something unconventional, something surprising, something real. It's not just how you look but how you are." Well I think I'm pretty different and unconventional at times so bring it on! I need votes though. Lots of them! Eeeeek!

I Match The Weather
I'm not in a great mood today. I feel tired and slow. I'm feeling the effects of my broken eye more today which just make my good eye tired. My job interview was cancelled and I don't know if it will even be rescheduled and I didn't get an audition recall for a show I really wanted to perform in. And I'm still broke and frustrated because I want to so so much (classes, theatre, concerts) and I want to do it in nice clothes but I can.
it's dull, cloudy and raining outside and I'm sure I was woken from my nap earlier today by an almight clap of thunder. It only happened once though so now I doubt if it was thunder after all. Maybe a neighbour's house collapsed.
So now I've ranted all my despair I'm going to make a cup a tea and try to remind myself of all the good things I have to be happy for. Gahhhh, posi-fookin-tivity!
