An apology is in order

Dear whoever is left

So I haven't been the best in my efforts to talk to you recently but I have good reason for this foolish rut I have slipped into so sorry, but in every waking hour of my existence I've literally been non stop. I've recently finished a production of Pygmalion (My Fair Lady) in which I played the over-the-top let down of the family, Clara Eynsford Hill, I could do so much with her because she longed to have the 'small talk' of Eliza but was surrounded by the social elite, she and her family were social climbers, it was a great production and everyone I spoke to loved it, how kind of them to amuse me like that!

Here I am strutting my stuff onstage-

I loved that hat. Hollie was an amazing Eliza!

After some normality had been restored during the late nights and rushed scene changes, I rediscovered some normality into my life and was happily working one day in the shop when two ladies walked in and RECOGNISED ME! I know it was on the smallest scale possible but I was so happy and grateful that they came out with the highest of praise that I turned bright red, yes I caught sight of myself in the mirrors at work, I looked like a burst tomato. If anyone has every had this feeling it's infectious and exhilarating, not from an egoistic point of view but just to be given recognition, I suffer from a distinct lack of confidence in literally everything I do, even now I still cannot listen to my radio show through fears of hating the sound of my own voice. I don't think they quite knew how happy it made me, well, they must have done because not only did i resemble a burnt pepper, I also lost the ability to speak; the second time in my whole like that has happened ( the first was when I was handed my signed copy of Take Thats' album, scroll down for that fun chapter!) I spent the whole day as chuffed as anything. If my dreams do come true and this takes off for me, I really need to handle social situations much better, countless times I have embarrassed myself with inappropriate jokes and musings, it has to stop if I'm going to be a 'Layde' to quote Eliza Dolittle.

Christmas festivities!

How I love Christmas, despite the lack of snow this year, although I don't think that we could have coped with no snow and the breakup of Chaz and Dave in all one year, we are British after all. As I am a Christian I believe in celebrating the birth of Christ, the miracle on this Earth with my family and seeing the joyous look of happiness across their face when I give my presents on that fateful day, that comes but once a year. As none of us have any money at the moment, and all that bankers do; I think this year is the best opportunity for us all the celebrate the 'true meaning of Christmas' without sounding like I've been spending too much time with Walt Disney.
Instead of being miserably sat without a turkey and dodgy homemade crackers that don't even pop due to a spontaneous thought while watching a famous cooking floozy on the box, remember that's it's not all about receiving top of the range presents, well certainly not this year. Who knows what next year will bring, if even there will be one as next year is the highly anticipated 2012!!! Have a good Christmas and hopefully see you at the start of next year.
Don't Laugh This Is My Life...

What a journey!

Well as you can see, it's been a long while Bloggers.
So now in the quickest list possible I shall list my actions for the past months, that I have foolishly not elaborated on. After reading you'll soon see why, so here goes!

• Sat my GCSEs.
• Done alright in my GCSEs.
• Started Sixth Form- It's all about the AS girls!
• Seen Take That at Wembley Stadium with my sister- The single 'Greatest Day' with the single greatest sister!
• Turned 17.
• Started driving lessons- God help us all!
• Been ice skating, after 10 years developing my skills, I can now stand up for a whole session.
• Joined a production of Pygmalion- more on that to come, stay Blogging.
• Got myself Coldplay Tickets for 2012.
• Eaten way too much, whats new?
• Moved in the cottage, love the country life.
• Developed a new love of Nail Art.

• Avoided Blogger, please forgive me.

Wow, that was a mouthful, as you've red, it's been a busy one. I tell you this now Blogger, it's only just starting for me, thats for sure. I've caught the bug, I don't know what my symptoms are, but I'm not going to finish on this Earth until I get what I want and feed the beast inside me. I already have a voice to be heard, but if it's possible I need it to be even louder.

My mood at this current point in time can be described as this, hopeful. That's enough of the dramatics from me, I cannot wait for Christmas this year and I hope that everyone has a good one, I shall be posting alot more often now. Fear not Bloggers, Alice is well and truely back!

Don't Laugh, This is my Life...

The simplest of things can brighten up your day.

I am a strong believer in Karma, which is why I always try to be nice to people, I don't want it to come round and bite me on the metaphorical bum because there's no worse place to be honest.

Today was a beautiful morning, the perfect morning of course to be cooped up in an exam hall, the universe rewarded me though by giving me a lift to school from my friends dad (she sings by the way, really well http://www.youtube.com/AliD12341) and then on top of that we listened to Chris Evans, something I don't usually do because of the time I go to school but I love his show in the morning, I only hope I can be half as good as him some day. While I was sat in the traffic jam waiting to go to school, we had friendly banter and great music, the makings of a perfect day to come you may think? Alas two exam awaited me once I got to school. But my day went sky high when I was handed this-

OH MY GOD! You can imagine my excitement, plus Mark Owen gave me a kiss, a kiss! Thats enough to make my day for the next three or four years!

Don't laugh this is my life...

she's crackin'

Two in one day! Sick of me yet? This must be what my listeners go through!
This is my friends YouTube account, she has just started record covers and songs. Her voice is beautiful and I am so envious of her talent, she was a tad apprehensive to load them on YouTube though, I have no idea why  though. Please watch, subscribe, tell your friends and most importantly, love her! She would also love your feedback, thank you so much. x

I've missed this.

Yes It's me again my friends.
I've truelly missed the worry that goes through my mind every time I open Blogger. I worry no one will read this!
As I'm sure you're aware I haven't been posting as much as I could have, what have you been doing with yourselves eh? I shall be giving you more depth to my life once my GCSEs are over and Summer can begin.

And stay tuned to my show, tonight at 10pm on thepark fm.
Don't laugh, this is my life...

Karma, it exists.

So last month I was in a really bad place. I was made redundant from my job, I was homesick after moving house and I didn't know what to do with myself.
This week I've had feedback on my show that people only dream of. Someone that works with a top radio DJ loves my show already. I honestly have no idea what is happening, to top all this off, Howard Donald has my poster! Things are picking up for me now, I am so grateful to everyone I honestly don't know whats happened to me. I can taste it now, it's sweet, indulgent and fairly addictive. Bring it on!
To listen to my show please go to
http://www.thepark.fm/
I currently have an oddest bod feature running where I want to hear the oddest position you've found yourself in this week, you could remain on the leaderboard until knocked off.
And I'm on the lookout for a intro song to my show.
Thank you and let me know what you think
Dont laugh, this is my life...
