Lunch with the Gypsy

So today i was approached by my first gypsy lady. I think i got off quite well.


For one, she didn't curse me, or spray me with anything, which is what i hear they do? 


So I'm walking out of Forfars (i'd just grab the unhealthiest lunch) stupidly with wallet in hand, and they home in on this kind of thing, if they see a purse in your hand they'll get ya. So she thrusts this plastic purple and white flower in to my hand, well when i say thrust, she very forwardly directed it to my hand and i subconsciously grabbed it. I don't know why, maybe because it was a flower, but she could have shoved anything in my direction and i would have nearly grabbed it, so from then on i was hooked.


"This will be a lucky year for you it will, you have a good future ahead, you believe in gypsies, you'll set up your own business, you'll find someone in love, and that i can promise you"


"Oh really? That's rather interesting do tell me more"


"Spare me some money and i'll read your palm, yeah you'll be in love this year,"


"Oh ok"

"you'll find a lucky lady, she'll be the one for you."


"A lady? i don't think it will be a lady thats for sure"


"A man. I didn't want to say incase i embarrassed you."


"Will he find me or will i find him?


"Darling, you've been hurt before haven't you, you won't let it happen again though. I know that."


"Damn right i won't. Aren't you gonna read my palm?"


" I've seen you already, can you spare a fiver?"


"Now that i really haven't got! Im hungry and on break so bye, thanks"


"It'll take 5 minutes"


"BYE!"


Now, i was £2.50 down, a fake flower and some uplifting words up. What she said was nice, i know what she said was rather generic and that's what their technique is, but the business thing was a little on the mark with me setting up my theatre company, all be it last year, but maybe she mean't that ill take it further... I didn't read too much into what she said, i didn't care about giving her a couple of quid because it was humouring me. 


Anyone could take to the street with a bunch of fake flowers from Wilkos and give them out while telling all these tales. I did wonder though, she was kinda right, but maybe the generics of it applied to me more so. I wouldn't say I've been hurt terribly, but the only serious-ish boyfriend i've had (my first one too) all of a sudden decided not to bother with me and things slowly turned into shit because we never saw each other. I was hurt in the scenes that i thought it would last longer than a month, but i broke up with him and was the adult about it.


Wow, rather deep blog here. I thought i would let you know about my first gypsy encounter.

Mah honeys i've been working a lot. A lot a lot. This is ok, but it's not something to jump up and down about either. I like where i work and have done since i started, but i feel like I'm nearing the end of my rope. This month will be an odd month to which i can't describe why, maybe because it will be full of adjustments.. 


Anyway this one day, after clearing up a table and i looked at the clock on the wall and thought to myself;

"What if i don't know how to direct this play?"

Harrowing thought i know, but it hit me. I've been at work here for 1 year 3 months, it's taken up lots of time, time which i'd rather be spending being creative, but you can't have it both ways, simply, i need money. Im not unhappy, I'm very content at the moment, and i have a bloody good year ahead of me and when ever i do feel crap, i remind myself how memorable this year will be and how much fun i'll have. If you're reading this and wanting to audition for my play, don't let this put you of because i know now and have always known since last summer that i will make this play mine and put my mark on it and have a blast during the whole process. It'll be awesome.

Another note, there are so many shows i want to go and see. I didn't get tickets to any for Christmas, sucky, so will book a couple and take someone with me and have a day of it. So wanna see War Horse, Woman in Black and One Man Two Guvnors.

Toodaloo for now dear readers.

2012

So here we are. 2012. It's here, and i like it! 2012, doesn't it just have a ring to it? 2011.. it doesn't sound nor look as appealing, i like the number two, so to have it twice is great, doubly great in fact.


Words of the type-able or spoken variety can not tell you enough how excited i am for this year, you may have heard this already saying they'll loose weight or cut down on that cake, well ladies and gents my reason for my liking of this year is A) more excitable for both parties and, B) will actually happen. Harsh i know, but haters gon' hate.


I am going to be a London 2012 Gamesmaker, which means for me i'll be welcoming people to what ever venue I'm assigned to and chat to them and prepare them for security. Essentially, you will see my cheery face before those fine buff athletes. *cough* Tom Daley *cough* huh what sorry?...


Many people i speak to think we're going to balls up the games one way or another, to all the nay sayers out there.. why be so cynical? It's a very British way to think, the worst in things and this is very annoying, why can't it go amazingly well? Who cares if our Opening Ceremony isn't as good as Beijing's? Who's to say we won't win many golds? American children grow up thinking they could be the next president, there's a lot of hope and positive thinking over there, but here, if you were to tell some you're to be the next Adele, PM or whatever next big thing, you're laughed at and discouraged meaning you settle and don't aspire, which is very sad indeed. I've every faith in the UK putting on a fab Olympics, i like the look of the stadium, did you know the 'Birds Nest' stadium in Beijing costs £4.5 million a year to maintain? Also because they didn't think about it's use afterwards, paint is already peeling and there's no real reason for it to be there anymore. So the fact we've though about after use and being eco and sensible, is a great thing.
