17th November

Now playing: Oliver Tompsett - Anybody Else

Baby can't you see, you and I were meant to be. Yes you and I were meant to be. If I had to make a guess I'd say we'd be just fine

While today hasn't been a fantastic day in terms of writing, at least I've done some. I've almost written the amount I'm supposed to. 2/3 isn't bad, really, I guess. :P

I'm too tired to write much more, again, though, besides the fact that while today has been really rather crappy, I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I want that double study period. Becky and I are going to spend the time researching which film we're going to go and see on Wednesday night. It's gonna be WICKED mate.

Oh yeah, and I'm going to see Wicked again. December 13th Matinee. The seats aren't fantastic, but since we paid the full 60 squids for them, they'd better be better than the ones we had last time. They're further back, and still out in the corner, but they were expensive. Blergh. I've booked everything, the tickets for the show and for the coach. I haven't told Alisha about it yet, though, since I want to surprise her. I hope it'll be a really nice pre-Christmas surprise. I figure if we get there are 11am, we can hang around for the cast members again, see the show, and by that time it'll be around 5:30pm. Our coach doesn't leave until 9pm, so I'd like to take her around London on the tube, show her some of the sights and maybe take her Christmas shopping and buy her a present or something. It's gonna be so schweeeeeet. :D I can't wait. It'll be even better if Kerry Ellis is performing, though knowing my luck she won't be. XD

Never mind! I don't care! I just love the show. And I'm so glad I finally sorted it out so that we're going again. It's going to be so much fun. <3

Now, an excerpt:

“I’m fine,” I muttered. “I just want to sleep.”

“All you do is sleep,” Danger said. I felt the trailer tip slightly as she jumped to her feet, and then Kez hit another bump on the road and we all bounced. “You never come out of that shell, I bet it absolutely reeks in there.”

“It doesn’t,” I said, but I didn’t have the strength to argue. “It’s better than being out there.”

“Why? What’s wrong with our company?” This came from Kez. I pulled the covers back off my head and shot a confused glance in his direction.

“Kez?”

“Yeah, I’m still alive, would ya look at that?”

“You’re not driving,” I stated feeling rather dumbfounded.

“No, really?”

“But- I- who is driving?”

“Eden. We switched over for a break. Don’t worry, she’s got the map all set out in front of her, it’s a straight road. She can’t possible screw it up.”

“But Kez,” Danger said, laying a hand on the older man’s shoulder. “You forget one tiny little thing.”

“Oh? What’s that?”

“Eden can’t drive.”

This piece of information fell into the silence, and then before we had chance to react in any way, we felt the trailer hit another pothole in the road and it bounced off the road. I clawed frantically at the side of my bed to keep myself from falling out as Kez and Danger stumbled into each other and landed awkwardly on the table.

“Eden!” Q shrieked, her voice slipping into ultrasonic. “What the fuck?”

“Hey! Hey!” she called back, hardly phased. “I got it all under control, darlings.”

About Me

My Photo
Name: Kitty Taylor
Location: Derby, Derbyshire, United Kingdom

I'm a 23 year old female, who spends much too much of her time online, and in the book store. I'm in love with writing, and reading and anything mildly creative, really. In the future I'd like to write professionally, because it's something that I know would be perfect for me, but until I come up with best selling material that will keep me in the moneys, I think I'll just head for whatever I can get. Got contacts in the writing business? Let me know, I'd love to learn more about it.

"Come on babe

Why don't we paint the town?

And all that Jazz

I'm gonna rouge my knees

And roll my stockings down

And all that jazz

Start the car

I know a whoopee spot

Where the gin is cold

But the piano's hot

It's just a noisy hall

Where there's a nightly brawl

And all

That

Jazz

Skit two!

And all that Jazz

Hotshot!

Whoopee!

And all that Jazz

Slick your hair

And wear your buckle shoes

And all that Jazz

I hear that Father Dip

Is gonna blow the blues

And all that Jazz

Hold on, hon

We're gonna bunny hop

I bought some aspirin

Down at United Drug

In case you shake apart

And want a brand new start

To do that-

Jazz

Find a flask

We're playing fast and loose

And all that jazz

Right up here

Is where I store the juice

And all that jazz

Come on, babe

We're gonna brush the sky

I bet you lucky Lindy

Never flew so high

'Cause in the stratosphere

How could he lend an ear

To all that Jazz?

Oh, you're gonna see your sheba shimmy shake

And all that jazz

Oh, she's gonna shimmy 'till her garters break

And all that jazz

Show her where to park her girdle

Oh, her mother's blood'd curdle

And If she hears her baby squeal

It's For all that jazz

And all that jazz

And all that jazz

Come on babe

Why don't we paint

The town?

And all that jazz

I'm gonna

Rouge my knees

And roll my

Stockings down

And all that jazz

Start the car

I know a whoopee spot

Where the gin is cold

But the piano's hot

It's just a noisy hall

Where there's a nightly brawl

And all that-

Jazz

No, I'm no one's wife

But, oh, I love my life

And all that Jazz!

That Jazz!"
