Awkward Parents.

You know when you're at a friends house, and you don't really know the family that well? and then the friend decided they want a shower, or to go to the toilet or something. And there is this awkward moment where you are standing in the lounge room with the family and you don't know what to say.
You can't start gossiping which is my natural reflex, because well, their parents. But you can't just sit their quietly. So you have this moment where you go back to kindergarten conversation.
"So ... do you have any more cats?" - Eliza
"uhm, no, no we don't." - Parent
"oh ... hows you're weekend been?" - Eliza
Yeah, its really awkward.

But then, whats worse is when your friend has a fight with their parents. They go and run to their room and you just stand the awkwardly, not knowing whether to follow your friend and totally shun the parents, or keep talking to the parents.
So there are two ways you can do this:

Scenario 1:
You stay.
"So how are you, Eliza?" - Parent
"Oh, I'm good Mrs Jone-" - Eliza
"Don't talk to her Eliza! She's being a bitch!" - Friend
"Uhmm..." - Eliza.

Scenario 2:
You follow your friend.
"Oh, Lisa!" - Eliza
"What a rude girl!" - Mother to father.

You just can't win, can you?

Don't you go losing that!

So, I just got a new phone. And I lose a lot of phones. Pretty much every phone I have ever had. So when I got this new phone, it became a given that I would get a lot of "Don't you go losing that!" and "Don't brake that!".

Okay, yeah, fair wack, I do lose a lot of things. But why do people say that? What do they get out of saying "don't you go losing that." Because, dude, I would totally set out on a day out with my friends with the pure intention of losing my brand new phone.

Fuck, I may be forgetful but I'm not an idiot.

Its like saying to Benji Marshal "Don't go and brake your shoulder blades!"

Oh, whitty social commentary right there! BAM!




Anyway, sorry for not posting for a while. Writers block gets to me. And Xavier has been bugging me for a while:)

I got EXPELLED from riverside!

Some of you guys may or may not know that I catch a ferry to school in the mornings. Its great fun. I know all the ferry people, like the guy that makes me pay, and the guy that always speaks in a different accent everytime i see him, and the hot ferry guy, the one that calls me babe, the awesome woman one, the one that shook me awake when i fell asleep on the warf...
Hahahah, shut up.
And then theres this one woman who I found out the other day went to Riverside. Isn't that cool? Apparently she was a bit of a naughty girl (probably why she now works on a boat). She went there during the 60s and finished early 70s. So she was in the punk era. Then she told me she got expelled for dying her hair pink.

They let her back in though after 6 months. Isn't that cool?

The punks made a big revolution on our society. Imagine if everyone who died their hair a weird colour would get expelled? Hahaha.

"Apart from the punks, what have teenagers done in the past 30 years - Nothing."
"And the punks didn't even last that long, did they?"
"But it was enough! They were angry and they showed it."



Sorry I've been neglegent on blogs. Its because no one ever reads them. Hahhaah.

Chatroom preformance 1: season 2.


Current mood: tired
Category: Jobs, Work, Careers
If you can call a season 1 performance.
hahaha.

[NOTE: Surly/Jimmy/James all one person. Surly is a term of endearment]

Anyway, I'm going to go from the beginning. I rock up to Leichhardt Town Hall, where Jimmy asks me if I'm nervous. I say yes. He then goes on to give me a pep talk about how much I've improved and how I've become such a good actor rahrahahr. So my esteem went up about 10 points (:. I then ask him whether he is nervous for us, he says "well actually, I'm a bit hung over..." in a whisper. I loled.

I start to lose my voice, so we get some voice warm ups. I'm practising with Jeff scenes 6 and 8 rahrahrahhhh. Then we get a 45 minute call.
"Are you serious?"

I get changed straight away then go do my make up and stuff. I go all out, and then get kicked out of the bathroom by Laura saying its fine.
So we are nervously talking. Then we get called onto the stage. Surly gives us a Sun Flower each (which I have always wanted) and Laura gives us a chocolate and a card.
We then start doing big breathing and double checking props. Surly: We really need a stage manager.

Then we get "Beginners!". So we go into Beginners and the house is live. We can hear Edwards and Zoltons voice's from a mile off.
So we preform, and it went really well, we dropped a few lines, we saved a few lines ectectect.

We had a massive Standing Ovasion. (I think, you can't see the audience with the lights).

Then we all really quickly got changed and I walked down the stairs with 20 screaming hot girls at my feet. (LOLZ)
I got a lot of "Your such a bitch Eliza!" "Gross your so sweaty"(especially from Gwynnie) "Hot dancing Eliza!".
Then I went to go say hi to my family. Apparently they didn't recognise me on stage, which is really cool. And James was so proud of me. He was always saying "isn't this one good, rahrahrah" I was so happy. Seriously, James is such a good person to get praise off (:
I got a bunch of flowers and loveee.

I got to sign an autograph, for a guy called "Edwilza" (AKA Edward) I think Carla thought I was being serious when I said "save that for 6 months coz I'll be famous."
