neverwhereIt's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good...
Name: Nevvie
Event of the year: Spending an entire summer with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eyre_lasgalen and wreibyn, the best friends a girl could ever have.
I've learned: Friendship is the best magick.
Biggest milestone: I have no idea. :)
Actually, I think it might be getting this LiveJournal. I've made more friends through LJ than I have in a very long time. Great friends, liketrianne and shortypenguin, and my soulmate trukkle. I've rediscovered old friends, met some incredible people, and I'm meeting more wonderful people every day. I never would have believed that this could have happened, but I'm so glad it did. And to think I purposefully didn't join for ages, just because I didn't want to be 'trendy'. Silly Nevvie. :) *hugs all her amazing friends* :)
Biggest discovery: That I am loved.
Biggest regret: My time with Eyre and Kara was so short. Also that I have not miraculously gained self confidence. Drat.
Biggest learning experience: Trying to sing and dance when my microphone had fallen off my head and down into my underwear. No, it really wasn't funny. Stop laughing dammit. :-P
Biggest waste of time: Trying to buy cinema tickets on the phone. 'No, I do not want to see a film in Bradford, I said Epsom, dammit, EPSOM!!!' 'We're sorry, but there are no more seats for your cinema in Bradford.' 'Arrgghhhh!'
Most embarrassing moment: See above. *cringe*
Funniest moment: Any time spent with Eyre and Kara. We're a gaggle of giggly girlies. ;-)
Four most revolting people: DieBitchDie!, the Psycho Hose Beast, anyone who crowds me on the train (because they usually smell and/or are playing obnoxious music so loudly my eardrums explode), my reclusive neighbours who glare at me whenever they're outside and put their rubbish on my front lawn. Grrr. Did I mention DieBitchDie? Oh, so I did. That would have been 5 people anyway. *G*
Best memory: CANADA DAY!
Best TV Show: I'm going to assume this means shows with new episodes: Stargate SG-1, Buffy, The Simpsons, Scrubs, X-Men: Evolution, Powerpuff Girls
Best Movie: FOTRFOTRFOTRFOTR (you mean there are other films?)
Best advertisement: 'Thank you, Mr Foot Long Hot Dog Inventor!' ('Soaring free...') *laughs*
Best deed: I don't know. Caring for my friends I suppose. I don't think I've done anything particularly wonderful this year.
Best part of school/work: Singing!
Best deed anyone has done for you: Being an understanding, compassionate friend.
Worst memory: Every time I cried from loneliness.
Worst TV Show: I'd say Jackass, except I don't have MTV so I never watched it (thank god). Jerry Springer's pretty awful. :)
Worst Movie: I don't waste money to see a crap film at the cinema. I did watch about a half hour of the charmingly inept film Piranha! though, that was both terrible and highly amusing.
Worst advertisement: Anything using a plastic woman with inflatable boobs to sell a product.
Worst deed: Not speaking to my father for months.
Worst part of school/work: Waking up at 5am and the 3 hour commute! ARRGHH!!
Five most important characteristics for a spouse: Clever, witty, playful, adoring, gentle.
Realistic career hope: That I'll be poor and destitute, wah hey!
Unrealistic career hope: Becoming a famous Shakespearean actress (hahahahaha)
Plans for future: Actually make a decision for once in my life. Maybe move to New Zealand.
Two things you will never do: Vote for a Right-Wing politician and have kids.
One thing you would teach your children: If I had them, I'd teach them to love learning and not to be afraid of people and things that are different than you.
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good...

It was a radio mic, the kind that wraps around your head and over your ear, with the mic close to your mouth (its what everyone uses in professional theatre nowadays) and the battery back clips on to your underwear. My battery had fallen off and was slowly making its way down my pants during one song, which dragged my mic off my head as well. By the time I had started the second (and thankfully final song before I could go offstage) the pack was on the floor (and making an incredible amount of embaressing noise) and my mic was caught in the bottom of hair. NOT a pleasant experience. :)
Suddenly it's all so clear!
Date: 2003-01-02 01:14 pm (UTC)At my youth theatre production, we had really awful mics that we had to stick on with masking tape (or plasters when that ran our, which it did) Mine broke and they didn't have any replacements so I had to keep swapping with another girl.It was dark in the wings obviously and whoever was sorting us out ripped out a clump of my hair. Nice.
