I'M BACK. Yes, IT'S TRUE.

Oh wow. What a holiday. Okay, I stayed in the most INCREDIBLE B&B on the way up... anyone ever stayed in a five-star B&B? Bloody amazing. And then... this was exciting...

I SAW THE HARRY POTTER CASTLE!

Yes, I do happen to be a massive PotterHead... it may shock some of you to discover that Harry Potter is actually a bigger obsession of mine than Wicked. Please, refrain from passing out until the end of this entry.

Anyway, then stayed by the banks of Loch Lomond... I won't bore you all by leaping into a verse of the song or you'll all kill me. But yes, wonderful stuff. Scotland is MAJESTIC. Like, seriously.

AND THEN stayed in another incredible B&B in Norfolk on the way down. And got my exam results... *grins madly* If you wanna know, then ask me... I won't clog up this entry with the results.

English: A*
English Literature: A
French: A*
German: A*
Science 1: A*
Science 2: A*
History: A
Maths: A
Statistics: A
RS: A
ICT: A

Oh, I'm a bit pleased.

So yeah! Great trip. But of course... I MISSED YOU ALL TERRIBLY! But I'm back now, and back on the metaphorical horse. Brace yerselves...

For all the lovelies out there...

Well, fine, no it's not. BUT ANYWAY.

Went along to the LB auditions today... Sooooo much fun! Queuing for 5 hours was totally worth it, met some awesome people in the line, though it DID come to something of an anticlimax XD still, great experience. Great fun.

I'm SO going back for the 7th movie. LOL.

LEEEEEEEEEEEE MEEEEEEEAD!!!!

HE WON HE WON HE WON!!! I'M SO HAPPY I COULD MELT!!! LEEEEEEEE!!!

Lee Mead is the ONLY Joseph EVER. HE ROCKS!!

XD

Blaaaahhhhh...

OK, my official excitement over seeing Kerry Ellis has finally waned... mainly because I'm stuck in exam-junction.

For anyone who knows of and enjoys 'Any Dream Will Do', vote Lee Mead tonight to be your Joseph. He's the only one who can bring satisfaction for your money in the West End... and here are my reasons WHY:

1. Keith. Lovely boy, lovely voice... too smiley. He's got no emotion in his songs, and is about as stiff as a wooden board on stage. He won't cope.

2. Lewis. Did we think about the fact that he's in the middle of his A-Levels? A-LEVELS. He's still at SCHOOL! He'll surely find the intensity of eight shows a week to be a little daunting, too.

3. Lee. What can I say? He's got it all. He's got experience onstage (in Joseph as well... useful!) he has a strong voice, and he interprets songs SO well (thank you Bill Kenwright). He DESERVES this chance!

VOTE LEE!

I am actually going to BURST with excitement... because on Sunday, whilst going on my innocent way into the Underground, I passed a certain someone going in the opposite direction, on another escalator...

KERRY ELLIS!!! -screams wildly-

It took all my personal restraint not to yell something loony, along the lines of "I LOVE YOU ELPHABA!!" But it was VERY difficult...

GAH she's so lovely!! I can't wait for July 14th... stage door time!

XD

Second fic... to prove it wasn't a fluke!

Title: Wickedly British (ha!)
Rating: PG-13 to hard R, I think
Pairings: Helen/Kerry (what do we call that? Dallis? Ellimore?)
Summary: Just before leaving the country for good, Helen decides what to do about Kerry.

Helen smiled exasperatedly at the elated cheers that met her at the stage door. She greeted the fans with less enthusiasm than usual, which was always met with understanding from most fans, allowing her to be tired after working hard on stage. But this lack of enthusiasm was different. And tonight, nobody noticed the difference but one.

“You look shattered, Dallimore.” A familiar Australian twang wove its way through the crowd of people to reach her.

She looked up, putting on a feeble grin.

“Thanks for the ego boost, Garcia.” She returned the verbal joust half-heartedly. Adam Garcia stepped backwards towards her, retracing the steps he’d just taken from the stage door.

“Is Kerry out yet?” he asked.

“Not yet – she’s still showering off the green. She might be there a while.” Helen explained, saying a quick ‘thank-you’ to a gushing fan.

“Peeking in on her, tut tut…what a dirty little Glinda you are,” he teased. She rolled her eyes, swatting his arm with the hand that wasn’t holding a marker pen. “Well, since she’s not out, I’ll have to cope with just your lovely company for the after-show drink.”

“The after-show drink? When did you ask me to go for a drink?” Helen asked, confused.

“Just now, I believe.” He said, looking pleased with himself. Helen snorted softly at his sudden turn in the conversation. He offered her his arm. “Shall we?”

She considered. Yes, she was tired, aching and terribly in the mood for ice cream and a movie. But she was also still on an adrenaline buzz from the curtain call, and dying for a strong drink to numb the intensity of her emotions at this particular moment.

“We shall.” She took the offered arm, and they waved their final goodbyes to the fans at the door. “Please, anywhere where’s there’s a barman who doesn’t ask questions.”

OK I hope this darn LJ Cut thingy works...
This is my first RPF and probably horribly out of character, so be nice!
Title: Jealousy Sucks (I know, it could be better)
Rating: PG-13 to mild R
Pairing: Espinilty (hehe it sounds funny)
Summary: After a very drunken night, Megan awakes to an interesting surprise.

Megan couldn’t remember going to bed. She couldn’t remember finding her way into her room. She couldn’t even remember getting home last night.

‘I’m never drinking again,’ she thought thickly, as she squinted against the sunlight that was streaming through the blinds in her room. What had even happened last night? She sat up blindly, keeping her eyes closed against the sun and the splitting headache she had.

‘I know it was Kristoffer’s birthday last night… I remember dinner… I remember the bar… I remember dancing… but what else?’

She rested her face in her hands, yawning softly. Her heart skipped several beats when something next to her shifted, and sighed in its sleep.

She froze. Looking up, she looked over slowly, peering down at whatever was lying next to her, in her bed.

“Eden?” she breathed.

Starting off!
