It's Around The Corner

It's been a rollercoster these last couple of days! I had a dress run yesterday, well a tech run actually and it really made it all so real again! Getting into costume, with hair and make up! The atmosphere is indescribable! Everyone is getting so excited, in a few days we will be on that stage with 80,000 watching us with the added billions watching at home. Can It get bigger than this!? I thought to myself when I did Billy Elliot at the Victoria Palace that, this would be the biggest thing in my life, that nothing else could come close to that incredible experience. Then, the Olympics rock up and takes the prime spot as the best thing I've done in my life. So far of course. What could possible top this though? Performing at the Opening Ceremony? Really, what could? I suppose international stardom and success, but that's a long way to go. I was skyping Emma and Hannah tonight, they are seriously nearly as excited as I am! Emma is gutted she is in Greece, I would be too girl! They said this is something that you could always talk about, right into when I'm an old and shrivelling man, I could still brag about it. I will, that's for sure! Ask me, and I will share every detail I have. We will need to sit down. I am loving my costume, especially my wig, I've been told its what my hair would look like if I were to grow it so long, and I very much think that's true! The ceremony itself is very British, when you watch it you will know it's not another Beijing, Danny knew something like that could never be repeated, so the show won't be like that, every aspect of it will have meaning, not just people moving in unison with no story. People who watch in the stadium will see the show of their lives, mum and her friends are very lucky to be seeing a dress run two days before, the last one before the show, there may still be some slight pauses, but I think it will go very smoothly, they will essentially see the ceremony, for FREE!! See, who says being a performer has no perks? So yeah, watch the ceremony and really embrace it for what it is, DO NOT compare it to Beijing simply because they are two different types of ceremonies. The slate has been wiped clean. I also went on a date Stan. He's such a lovely man, well from what today gave me anyway! He's from Bulagria, lived in Cyprus and now is in the UK. Great body, talks a lot, and that was ok because what he was saying was interesting, what I said felt a bit small talkish, but it went well. We sat on the grass listening to music and just enjoying the sunny day. Very nice, will see him again tomorrow, I don't know what it will turn into, but I'd live to have him as a friend at least. Well my birthday is also soon, what would I like? I've no idea!! But when I come home, I'm going straight to a cousins wedding reception, so I will be swarmed by my family asking me all sorts, there will be so much to tell! It will be a great night! Well this is me for the night, I smell a BBQ, I really want one!! I shall be typing to you soon, tomorrow is a dress run in front of a audience, im going to fall over with hype.
