Here I go again. It’s been one of those days, I think. I thought it would get better as the day went on but it’s actually gotten worse. Strangely, because I’ve just been at the beloved theatre but it didn’t really help much to be honest. The place where I thought would be smiles galore…wasn’t. But then again, I think it has a lot to do with “students”. Unfortunately, at the theatre, there seems to be two groups. The group full of people who are members of the theatre and the group who are students at the theatre. Now, I’m not saying that the student group is bad. No, not at all. Just that there always seem to be a handful of them who just DON’T GET THE POINT. The point of inclusivity. The point of accepting everyone. The point of NO LABELS. Gosh.
I’ve just been feeling a bit down in the dumps this week and I can’t quite put my finger on the cause. I suspect it’s to do with “people” and their attitudes. But really, I don’t normally let that bother me. If someone is having a shit day, I’ll try and accept that…or if they’re my friend, I’ll try my best to cheer them up. But recently, a LOT of people seem to be having shit days, and I really don’t know why. Yes, tired, yes, busy, yes, too much to take on. But, at the end of the day, so many people feel like this, and so many people manage to put a smile on their faces despite it all. Unless something ABSOLUTELY shit is happening to you, CHEER THE HELL UP! Honestly people. I just don’t get it anymore. Sure, I kind of expected it at University because sometimes the workload was just TOO much (and from what I’ve heard, it’s even worse this time round – chin up girls) but if you have the opportunity to work within one of the most amazing theatre companies I know of, why be miserable in the process?! The door is there, your problems stay outside, when you’re inside, you FORGET about it all. If only for a few hours. If you really want to, pull the depressing cloak back on when you’re outside the door…but if I were you, I’d let the problems roll off and go back outside with a smile. It’s LIFE. And life has it’s ups and downs, but you have to roll with it. Otherwise, you’re in deep shit. Smile and bear it.
Now that’s off my chest… I’ve always felt, that when one thing comes to an end, there’s bound to be something else that you can throw yourself into. Something came to an end tonight and I’m feeling a bit sad about it but I know that it won’t be for long. Soon, the Christmas show will begin it’s run…so I’ll be getting my fingers dirty with the rehearsals later this month…but once the show opens, I’ve not got much to do. Well, apart from the course work…and the jewellery stuff – maybe it’ll be a chance to get busy with that?! It’s been quite hard to commit ourselves to it in recent months because something else always pops up, distracts us and then we feel too lazy. But hopefully once things start selling, we’ll feel more motivated…I hope anyway. Despite having 3 things up for sale since the beginning of October, nothings sold and we’ve added more to the sale list now, so there’s now 10 pieces for sell…wish people would part with their money more easily, I think that once we start selling, it’ll be easier to sell other pieces because having a good reputation online is important.
I think I need to put some music on actually. On days when music hasn’t been played, I always feel a bit glum. Once I’ve got a good song in my head, I’ll be cheering up. Isn’t it lovely what a good song can do? Now…to pick one out to post…
Supermassive Black Hole – Muse
Ooh, baby don’t you know I suffer?
Oh, baby can you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretenses
How long before you let me go?
Ooh, you set my soul alight
Ooh, you set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(Ooh, you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(Ooh, you set my soul)
I thought I was a fool for no one
But ooh, baby I’m a fool for you
You’re the queen of the superficial
And how long before you tell the truth?
Ooh, you set my soul alight
Ooh, you set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(Ooh, you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(Ooh, you set my soul)
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(Ooh, you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(Ooh, you set my soul)
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
