Long, long time...
...since I have posted here.
This is because I am on My Space and Live Spaces, and genrally update the latter more than anything. Still, I like me ol' live journal - it's where I started out.
In brief, we are coming home for Christmas, I have got some acting work in student productions and best of all a play (Shakespeare's Richard III), and my ( Read more... ) -

Been a long time...
...since I last wrote.
Well, after the horrible leaving bash, I went to my Karate class on the Sunday morning dreading my punishment. It was hilarious! I had to take the class for the lesson! And I couldn't remember the Japanese for 7! So everytime I counted, I had to say 7 in English. What a laugh!
The next day flew and before I knew it, we ( Read more... ) -
V Festival
Saturday went so quick!
We got to Hylands Park about 12.30pm, and before I knew it, it was time to try and get home. God what a saga that was!

Mike (her fiancé) is doing a parachute jump (which Jane had given him as a Christmas present) and is raising money for CRY - a charity for Cardiac Risk in the Young ( Read more... ) -
I really cannot believe it...
I came in to work today to the saddest bit of news. A girl at GSK whom I consider to be a friend passed away last night. She collapsed here, was taken to A&E, seemed ok, then her heart just stopped and they couldn’t resuscitate her. She was 33. Nobody here can believe it ( Read more... ) -
Kick arse Bo action!
Karate was awesome yesterday. We went through Bassi Sho which is a Kata that involves the Bo. First we learnt (I mean this in the loosest possible terms) the moves of the Kata. Then we get to look at holding the Bo (there is a special way you know). Sensei shows us a basic Bo Kumite and then demonstrates Bo verses the chucks. It was great seeing ( Read more... )
