My Un-average Way of Memorising a Monologue

Reciting it to a Twilight Valentine....
And let me just tell you, with those almost frozen looks -lol literally frozen- it is not a piece of cake ;)
And as for this moment, forget Team Shove Bella off a Cliff, I'm Team Shove Them all off a Cliff....

My Life is Average

Hey readers,

On this late (lol more like very early evening) post I bring something that had me clutching my stomach in laufter -which I usually don't typically do- My Life is Average.
This website is made up of thousands if little things that happen in a so-not-average-life.
I was reading the website and found this (and couldn't stop laughing btw):

"Today a couple of Twilight Freaks got into discussion about Team Edward Vs. Team Jacob (Team Jacob all the way btw) My teacher got annoyed and said: 'I'm still Team Shove Bella off a Cliff!"


*content sigh*...... too good ;)

And until something like the above happens to me,
My Life is Average,

Book Review: The Gallagher Girls

Howdy, darlings,

Today I bring you another book review, this time with a book from one of my very favorite authors: Ally Carter. The author of Uncommon Criminals and Heist Society happens to have another series, just as good.
It's called the Gallagher Girls.
So far it has four books (the fifth coming in March!) about Cammie Morgan and her friends. This book is very good and has you hooked on the very first page. It makes the Gallagher Academy -a school for spies- totally up there on my list of boarding schools I want to go to (the only other on my list being Hogwarts)!

The first book: I'd Tell You I Love You but then I'd Have to Kill You is amazing!
Although it's kinda slow in the beginning it is totally worth the read:)
This book is YA meaning the ages 12 and up, and I'd have to say I sorta agree with that but maybe 11 and up is better, so pretty much what I'm saying is read with slight caution;)

Bye-bye from the Bookworm,

Calipso

Valentine's Day: Past, Present and Future

Hello all my star-struck (and non-struck) readers <3

As you all probably know, tomorrow is Valentine's Day, the holiday that everyone seems to be talking about!
I mean, yes it's a holiday, a holiday about love, but Valentine's Day today is just not what it was like in the past.

In the past, it was a holiday about love, love for your family, friends and the special people in your life.

And right now, in the present, the holiday is about who's with who, what you got, where you went and is very commercialised.

I don't know about the future but here's hoping the future resembles the past more then present.

Have a great Valentine's Day, no matter who you're with or where you go <3

Even Bloggers get the Blues...

Yes, darlings, the title is SO true...
I haven't found much inspiration lately, and today it started SNOWING again (I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up after ONE day of nice weather) and so for the sake of preventing my avid readers from having the blues, I'm posting.
Although now that I think about it I realize that reading a post about the BLUES could very well give you the BLUES:(


Here's to a hopefully good weekend:)

Mom, can we move to Nashville?

Howdy, darlings!
I'm sure you've all heard this song, Love Story by Taylor Swift.
Now this post is kinda out dated since Love Story came out a few years ago but just now am I hopping on the Country Music Train.
At my rehearsal two weeks ago we listened to our closing number, This One's for the Girls by Martina McBride and I'll admit, I've been singing that song ever since.
And when you grow up listening to Dolly Parton with your mom, it's kinda in your blood.
So it only makes sense that I would "discover" Taylor now.
Anyway, if my acting career doesn't take off the way I want it to, I can always become a country music singer, you know... if I can sing.....

Do re mi fa so la ti do,

Writer's Block and British Accents...

Konichewa, my early morning readers:)
This wonderful February morning, I bring with moi, a problem:(
When the cast and I take to the stage, I am to write a monologue and perform it ON stage!!!!!:)!!!!!:)
But that's not the problem, the problem is that I am writing a monologue for Floss, from CANDYFLOSS!!!
Now Floss is British so she uses some words that we typically don't use.... In which case I have a little writer's block.
And secondly, Floss is BRITISH, I'm NOT.... Say hello to learning a British accent (should be fun, but challenging) :)
For all you writers who have writer's block take some advice from some of the best authors: just write!

101 at Random

OK, dear readers, time for confession.
My Sunday 101 "thing" has not really been going too well....
*breathes sigh of relief* what? you think I should just do 101 at random?
Wonderful idea darlings!!!!
So today, I figured in honor of another rehearsal and to prep all young actors my 101 will be on the stage!

1) Memorize your stage directions! -stage left, stage down left- I would explain them to you but moi is still have a little trouble memorizing them herself....

2) Always warm up! My wonderful drama teacher always makes us warm up before we start acting, it gets your creative juices flowing and gives you tons of energy!

3) Take bold leaps! Don't hide in your shell, let the world know the real you!

4) Try new things! Don't be afraid to make midtakes mistakes! Actually moi is currently working on a British accent.... time to watch the Harry Potters again!

Well, that all I have for today besides one more piece of CRUICIAL advice: Follow your dreams!!!

Let's end this post with my all-time 2 favorite qoutes!
