ok. this week's topic was the worst yet. i was having severe trouble even beginning to consider writing the essay. after yesterday's torturous 4-hours-700-words debacle, i came home at 1am after burlesk and almost completed it.

now i find she's cancelled the tutorial. i don't need to worry about this topic any more, or, if it turns out next week's topic is even more evil, i have another week to try to understand this one.

and burlesk last night was certified Best Ever, after last week's shambles, and i am happy.

last night someone suggested that my time at oxford was a means-to-an-end, and that i should buckle down and work so that i will be happier in the long run. on reflection, that just isn't the case: A-levels were my means to an end, where i hated hated hated every minute of the torturous process, but knew i was doing it for a reason. this is that reason!. this is the end to which i worked. i'm here. and if i don't make the most of oules and burlesk and music theatre and chances to write and stage manage and holy cow somebody's putting on hedwig in the playhouse next year then what am i here for, really? i won't look back and regret getting a 2:2 as much as i would regret looking back and not having made the most of what are clearly going to be the best three years of my life.

Darn, I thought there wasn't one last night! Tsch, best ever show, and I missed it?

Hey! I met you and Burlesk coupla weeks ago, remember me? The one with the blue hair. Was procrastinating and came across this... One of the guys doing Hedwig is a mate of mine, and is very shiny and friendly. It's not at the playhouse, I don't think, it's the OFS. They're especially looking for folks who can play band instruments as well as sing... although I'm sure if you offered backstage they'd be interested too. Gonna be the Queerest Show Ever (tm), the entire production team is gay.

And I just came to the exact same conclusion about Oxford last week, and skipped a tute to go to a singing lesson...

have they got a drummer yet? i am a wicked drummer and can sing to a more-than-medicre standard... (apparently, arrogance gets you everywhere in life, so i've decided to cultivate it. sorry if it offends.)

but i would do backstage, i'd be the poster-girl, i'd do anything to be involded in a stage production of my favourite musical. who should i email with my fangirlish exclamations?

(i have purple hair now.)

As far as I know they haven't cast anything yet except Hedwig and even that isn't formal. Should be open audition for most things.

The guy I know isn't exactly the first person to contact, he's the PM rather than the director, but if you e-mail your e-mail adress to(ragged underscore robin at hotmail) I'll e-mail you some contact details. There might also be some info up on OUDS.

Nothing wrong with a bit of arrogance.

That's exactly how I've always felt about Oxford - and even if when I get my results they're not great, I'm glad I've done so much theatre and things.

I gave your email adress to my friend who's playing Hedwig (unofficially until after the auditions!), but if he's not contacted you I'll email you his, so you can let him know everything you're prepared to do. He'll love you, I know!

that's this Basher dude, right?

having been told by two different people that he was the guy to email, i took the initiative and did it. i tried very hard not to squee too much, and give the impression that i would be good and useful and stuff.
