07:47 pm - I wonder if anyone still reads this? A quick entry off my shiny new laptop. I'm sitting in Karl's front room, left eye streaming and so so so itchy because he's been dusting, and waiting and praying for food. We have to go and get him chips coz he's a creature of habit. Chipshop chips are a bit rubbish, I want some realfood but I'm so not getting it lol. Ah well, I'll have to find something a bit less covewred in grease at the shop. Uni is going........................well, we'll see when my grades come out The musical is going well but relatively slowly Things are generally OK I suppose. I get the net on Tuesday so I'll be able to update properly. For now I'm signing off..... Toodles Luv Roz xx Current Location: Nottingham Current Mood: hungry Current Music: Chicken Run is on

11:21 am I have a house for the year coming up which is cool. It's off Camden Road but we have to go up scary stairs to get there. I'm sure I'll get over my scardey-cat-ness. I didn't want to cause a kerfuffle so I'm having the smallest room, I'll be spending most of my time in the front room methinks. (Well, that or at Karls) This weeks been fun, on Tuesday it was Alec and Becky's 21st birthday party. I got some very exciting stuff in my party bag, a willy straw and a tiara! We went to the Event but the music was shocking. I was up for a bit of cheese or something but it was drum 'n' bass stuff and that was very confusing. I didnt get many pictures but here are few I did get....... ( Read more... ) Then on Thursday night I went out with Ez and met her man. It was a bit of a bizaare night but I actually had a rather good time. The Jalla kept walking off and leaving me when her man arrived so I was a bit of a lemon until I got chatting to a guy called Dan who was one of his friends. He kept me entertained for the evening but I had to catch a coach at 6:45 the next morning so I went home for two. Yesterday was house-hunting which was insanely annoyingly difficult. We first looked round the one we chose and then went this other place with the scariest landlord ever. The house had buckets of potential, it was huge but we dont have the time, money or permission to do it. He smoked as he showed us round and we distinctly got the impression he might try to accidently on purpose walk in on us in our underwear or film us in the shower. I couldn't sleep in the early hours of this morning. I kept waking up with little starts I think I was being paranoid coz Karl said he was going to try and pull.........oh dear, "open relationships" (or whatever this is) are hard. OK, gotta run, I have to send the landlord my cheque. eeeeeeeek! Toodles Luv Roz xx Current Location: Brighton Home Current Mood: excited Current Music: An awesome mashup my brother told me about.

12:35 pm - La La La This is me singing at last night's art festival. The video is pretty poor quality as the music was a bit too loud and it was only done on my phone but what they hey, it's fun all the same. I'm just so happy I got to perform again, even if it the blocking wasn't rehearsed lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP93O0dUIV0 Last night was a cool night, if not a little (a lot) weird seeing people again. It was rather like going back in time. I told Gaby about Karl which was hard but he seemed to take it pretty well, just tried to give me the same advice everyone else did. Joe's looking mighty handsome these days and everyone seems to be growing up but me. Seb made me stand on a chair to give him a hug as he is actually seriously tall. I think he just wanted a boob hug but as Emilio said, I do have a great rack! I was kind of gutted Seb didn't have his camera, he always gets cool pictures of the shows as he is rather a fabulous photographer. I am however disapointed with his lack of sunglass-producage but if someone did steal them then I guess it's not his fault. I'll just have to track that other person down and annoy them til they give them back. I met a band called the Lemmings but didnt know who they were, just thought they were random guys. Apparently one of them was checking me out, hehe, a lead singer thought I was hot! I'm going out for a some good food today, hurrah! My parents are back from Edinburgh now but they got a takeaway last night without me, I could have killed them!!!!!!! So anyway, I should go get ready.

12:23 pm - Be warned, theres alot of reading material here This is week has been odd..........yes, odd. My parents are away in Edinburgh at the festival, the lucky gits, and I'm here in jolly old Brighton. On Saturday it was Brighton Pride and I had an awesome day hanging out with the Brighton girlies and Jess C's lesbatron friend Dom. The parade was fun as ever and Barbara Windsor was on one of the floats as it was a Carry On.... theme this year. I didn't manage to get a picture of her but got lots of other cool ones........ ( And here they are ) On Tuesday I went to a casting for a BBC advert, quite obviously didn't get it and it was the most nerve-wracking thing I've ever done.I had to improvise a monologue for two minutes to a stuffed penguin..........surreal isn't the word. I walked around London for a bit but I got all nostalgic and so I came home. On Wednesday I went out to the Honey Club, an alright night but I got lots of little bits of glass in my foot and it was killing me all night. Sopme skinny chav kept trying it on with me even though I told him he wasn't going to get anywhere, boys make me laugh sometimes. Thursday was a day of hangover hell. I slept most of the day and so I talked to Karl on the phone until half four in the morning when he got back from Lanzarote. I got a letter from the Hilton today so I'm off to a recruitment evening on the 15th, fingers crossed I get my old job back, evil as it was. Harrods called as well. I applied a while ago to be an elf for the christmas season with them. After Santaland last year a normal christmas job would be so boring. They were just checking availability and the lady sounded kind of annoyed I couldn't do full time but she said theyed call early next week so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Tomorrow I'm singing in a concert at the arts festival I went to last year. It's going to be very weird now I'm not with Gaby but I can't wait to be performing again. I think thats all my news...

03:47 pm I have no internet, oh it's a sad day for everybody. Actually, it's not too bad. I have snuck into Laura's house incognito to use her PC. It's nice to get one's life on track a bit. I'm still job-hunting would you believe it. Nobody wants to hire me in the world, its mad stuff. I continue to apply for fun little jobs like going back to the Hilton *shudder* Things with karl are fine and dandy but he's all the way in Nottingham, not coming down til the 29th, i keep plugging along. It's been cool to see the Brighton girlies lots but I keep getting all tired and meh like. Went to a random cuban night the other day which was absolutly wicked. I went with Esme, my lovely sister, who returned from down under recently. We got cocktails and things and I wish we could've stayed all night. In other news................... Hmm, not sure i have any other news. I'm just being li'l ol' me. Wish i coulkd keep in touch with everyone more, darn the lack of net.

09:06 pm - Bye bye London I am officially moving back down to Brighton tomorrow, Daddums is coming to put all my crap in a van and drive down a mighty hot motorway home. I'm not sure if I'm going to miss London or not........ I wont miss the prices or bitchy soho or still air but I will miss the theatres and my friends. The last two weeks without coursework has been wicked. I spent a week with Karl doing nothing much. We went to see Market Boy at the NationalWe saw infernal, arman van heldon, michelle marsh and sharon osbourne at G-A-Y which was awesome and I'm going to miss him like crazy til he comes to visit for Pride week, well some of it. We pretty much have been joined at the hip (not like that you dirty thing) for the last two months so it's taking a bit of getting used to that he's in Nottingham. A couple of weeks ago me and Karl and my U.S buddy Jessie all went to Brighton which was cool and then to Nottingham. I had so much fun! We got taken up to a resort in the Lake District for free for a night and we went in the steam room and swimming pool and sauna and jacuzzi and I went to the gym and it was just amazing! This week I spent some time with Kim and Kendra, my girlies. We went to Ghetto, another gay club which was a bit odd and Kencra got started on by some man..........was pretty funny actually but poor Kendra was given a bruise by the mean man. This year at uni has really had it's ups and downs but I've met some wicked kiddies and oo ooo ooooooo I went to see the second night of Avenue Q and it was AMAZING just as I knew it would be. I stood next to Cameron Macintosh and I almost pee'd my pants when i saw it was him. I got so starstruck. (If you don't know who that is then you should be sent to musicals school) I cant wait for Wicked! I love seeing theatre for cheap because of my eyes, it rocks my socks. Anyways, I dont actually have much that is very interesting to say other than....... I have no internet for a month starting tomorrow Call me if your in brighton and erm free love rules Toodles Luv Roz xx Current Mood: bouncy Current Music: Spamalot

Go back to your journal, and write ten words beginning with that letter, including an explanation what the word means to you and why. SUMMER - This is by far the best time of year. No work to be done, no pressures, no rain (if we're very lucky) SWEETIES - Yummy Yummy Yummy, I have been wondering, whatever happened to cherry drops.

SHNUGGLES - Huggles with friends/boys/double duvets And save the best til last SINGING - This is the best thing in the world! Having a great belt session can pick your mood up 1,000,000% Making people go "awww perdy" is so exciting. The show last night was alrighty. Some bits were a bit dodgy but the rest went OK I think.

10:21 am I was just thinkig, it's wicked that i have a long summer. A nice big break to earn lots of money to pay off my overdraught. Thing is, I'm going to go crazy. As I am rubbish, I didnt get into YMT UK and so i will have almost no performing to do over the summer. I think I'm going to sing at a concert in early June but thats it. Last night I had a dream about getting a part in a show for the summer holidays, it was amazing. Getting paid for doing what I love everyday and then going down to Brighton in the day. It's at times like these I wish the stage had more auditions in, and not just 100000 things for table dancers. If anyone knows of anything going on from late May til October gimme a buzz, I will go stir crazy working in argos or somewhere other wise.

11:18 am - Rosie, as we know and love he,r has returned. This last few weeks has been crazy, really crazy. The break up, the play and stuff. It's all rather intense. My social life has finally revived itself with the cast of Chalk Circle. I've been a social butterfly and it's really nice. Jessie, a top girl from the US, is american-afyuing me really badly though. I keep saying store instead of shop and catching myself using little americanisms. My mum is going to take the piss as I only just lost the american out of my accent that apparently I had after summer camp years and years ago. Karl from gun central, Nottingham, has been a legend in the last couple of weeks. He is an odd little man who spends way too much time on wikipedia. It's the beginning of the easter holidays and so everyone's headed home. I have no money and I have a bunch of work to do so I am sticking round up here. It sucks rather alot but it can't be helped. I think Jonathan wants to pay for me to come back to Brighton easter weekend so I may see some of you then. I dont really know what else to say today, my brain has dissolved into mush. I'm sure I'll update out of boredom in a couple of days. Toodles Luv Roz xx Current Mood: cheerful Current Music: Something on Jessie's laptop

02:46 pm - Lights, camera...actually scrap that, turn the lights back off. Wow, that could not have been more different to the Gloss experience! Yesterday was makeover day for Kendra and I and it was wicked! (thanks Kencra) Curly hair was the same but I wasn't covered in dark green eyeshadow thank the lordy. I took pretty much the same kind of stuff as last time because I'm a boring bugger but i remembered to take a nice dress for the grandma shots lol. (and obviously Loz (if you read this) still love you lots and it's just a bugger we got stuck in chavland) When we went into the room to look at our photos the guy was in shock. Apparently most people end up with 50 shots between them and we had one hundred and thirty!!!!!!!! The photographer must've loved us! We were the last customers of the day, having been there from 3 til 9 thus far and so the guy was in a dead good mood and we were giggling for two hours looking at our pictures. I eneded up buying 5 pictures and getting two free (including a headshot and one of me and Kendra desperately trying not to laugh so it's not the fittest, yippee) and here they be: ( I have NO idea how big these are ) I have to make up ALOT of a solo for tomorrows dance class, damn the post-modern dance people, why can't they all be cheesy disco divas.

10:38 am - A quick update on life and the world and stuff OK, so when did everything go bizarre at university. Everyone else, as in EVERYONE else around the country manages to go to uni and have a good time. Here however, here in James Leicester Halls and ONLY in James Leicester Halls, everything is so goddamn bitchy! I was bumbling along in my usual Rosie way and i thought I was flying just off the radar with most people and so people didn't think of me either way but suddenly there's a whole load of people that have decided they don't like me for one reason or another. It's just going make life here hearder and it's JUST what I didn't want. Why can't we all just be free-lovin', pot-smokin', "the man" hatin', regular students. So yeah, rant over and on a lighter note, I'm in a play, the Caucasion Chalk Circle by Brecht. Don't know who I'll be yet but no-one too great I'm thinking but I don't care, there's singing in it and everything. Yay! It does mean i might not be able to come home over easter so i might not be back down South until 20-somethingth of June, craziness. I'm still waiting to hear from YMT UK but I looked at how many people audition and how many get through and I realised I probably havent got a part. Lots of fun coursework to be done over the weekend and I am going to another photoshoot with Kendra as her friend dropped out but if the same thing happens again heads are going to roll! Don't think it's the same place but boy it'd be funny if it was, chav girls smothering you in creams lol. Gotta tify my room a bit. Miss all the Sussex kiddies! Toodles Luv Roz xx Current Mood: Meh!

08:09 pm I havent done anything remotely constructive this weekend which is slightly.....................very worrying. Friday, went out for the Simner's birthday and oh boy I was a drunk thing. I was drinking a bit before I left for kicks and then when i got to Rachels they gave me wine and as most people know vodka + wine = drunk to the max. I saw everyone eho i havent seen for a trillion years, the hanover kiddies. Farmer Jo, Jo, The Simners obviously, Rachal and Maisy Well, we got to the barfly and i bought evn more vodka as as most people know vodka + wine + vodka + aftershock = absolutly shitfaced. So i wandered round and fell over and was just intensely drunk all night. i think I may have actually fallen asleep in the bathroom coz I got a voicemail saying no-one'd seen me for an hour and a half. I was so drunk that it was torture to move my head, at least i stopped drinking unlike usual where I carry on regardless. I ended up missioning it home with a guy from my halls called Lee who i hardly ever talk to and then got my own back on the guy next door and woke him up for a change. I wrote him a REALLY drunk birthday card, I remember it being incredibly unneat and then made Lee go and give it to him lol. What a random night. Next day I spent in bed, not hungover really just enjoying the new TVness. Kim and Kendra got me out of bed, kind of. I took my duvet up to Kim's room and we hung out there for hours. We got an almighty chinese and it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good! Today I have spent money on ebay (naghty Rosie) watched TV, did my journal, tidied my room and done little else. |I was going to run errands around London but screw that. Gaby is coming over at some point this evening yay! I think that's all there is to report other than I'm doing lots of fun uni work during the week and...........nope i think that's it.

09:50 am Week three looms and I need some more sleep. It dawned on me yesterday just how much work I have to do in the next two weeks, goody! Yesterday Gaby and I went to the imax and saw Polar Express in 3D and it was absolutly amazing and gorgeous and amazing again! Then we struggled in the rain and cold and dark along the river to Wagamamas to chow down with our BOGOF voucher. I was soaked to the skin so i got an exciting new wagamamama dish which was spicy to warm me up. I left my purse somewhere so I'm kinda worrying abou that but I am ever hopeful that when I call the establishments it will turn up. Had a bit of an ebay splurge last night but no-one needs to know about that or I'll get in trouble. Thank god I'm claiming back the tax from Santaland, that's all i can say.

We had a lindyhop workshop that was absolutly wicked and I have Drew again for drama which is cool. Wednesday went out to Big Fish and got rather drunkard. It was a really good night actually.

12:53 pm - Time flies when you're not in a boring lesson. First things first, I am now the grand old age of 19. It was my birthday on first. t was a dead weird day with the lack of friends and party. I had a pink tea party with all pink stuff thrown by Ez and mum which was scrummy and we played charades which is always fun. Went to see Sweeney Todd in the evening but moods weren't great for one reason or another which was a shame. Presents weren'y a let down though hehe. I got a pretty camera from Gaby, Some gorgeous lights and the Charlie and Chocolate Factory dvd from Loz, Cash from Grandma and Sue, A necklace from the infamous Kitty, Bedcovers from Mue and a few promises for good measure. This morning I had an audition for Youth Musical Theatre UK but I actually have no idea how it went. The dance bit I ballsed up as usual. My jazz shoes were insanely slippery as well which REALLY didn't hepl. I almost fell over many times and looked totally uncoordinated as I was still sliding one direction when everyone had changed directions. Acting was difficult to gage as it was just silly exercises, stuff that was vaguely Stanislavski-esque but weird. It is mystery how this bit went. Singing was wicked, we learnt a song from Into the Woods called Giants in the Sky, ironically it's the only one I haven't yet downloaded and so I'd never heard it. They said "loud voice" but who knows if that is a good thing or not. I would have prefurred good tonal quality I suppose lol. I don't find out for about a month and a half so I am going to have to forget about it as i probably won't get it anyway if last years auditions are anything to go by. Jess Conehead is coming round this evening from her student land to mine and we are going to celebrate my birthday by doing something or other. Not sure what but I bought some vodka just incase. I go back to uni on Monday, eek. Toodles Luv Roz xx Current Mood: chipper Current Music: The Last Five Years
