"Oh ffs, fml and my brain" vs "YAY BALLET!"

My mind feels like a, I dunno... a giant orgy of jellied eels. Yup. I haven't stopped DOING THINGS throughout this whole month but my brain is still nagging me to do mooooar. Well, the eels are. They're all nagging me to do different things and my brain's just all *queue page of

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!*

I dunno. Life is all crazy and things are happening but I just feel like I'm not doing enough creatively or whatever, if that makes sense. No attention span. I'm also rather mood-swingy. I was all pro-active and upbeat and enthusiastic and GO TEAM MUTTS AND MOPS! this morning, and now I'm... not.

I saw the Trocks yesterday! Love love love love LOVE.

I was with my ballet ladies. We laughed so much, and we hovered outside the stage door afterwards to ask nosy questions about pointe shoes. We then wandered along the Strand and back across the South Bank, enjoyed some delicious cheesy tortelloni, then took the longest train home. I think I'm going to do my intermediate ballet exam. Hahaha. I just want to be able to fouetté like those wonderful Trocks. Amazing!

YEP YEP YEP YEP YEP. There was one bit at the beginning (it was the scene they do based on Les Sylphides) where the male dancer threw his lady offstage, and there was an almighty bang, then she came back on in a huff rubbing her head. I thought I was gonna choke on all the lolz tbh.

I love when they are doing all the trios and stuff from Swan Lake, and there's the one who is absolutely built like a TRUCK yet he's SO LIGHT on his feet and can get his leg right up above his head and omg I was in awe.

They're all brilliant. If you get a chance as well, see ANYTHING Matthew Bourne. I'm seeing Cinderella in February. But Swan Lake is just.... <3

Hahaha yep, they are amazing! There's one with red hair who was probably well over 6ft without being en pointe, and they teamed him up with the shortest one in the company (who, of course, danced the male role!) Lolz for all.

Oooh I think we saw a thingy for Matthew Bourne's Cinderella yesterday! Am so up for it. Got Romeo & Juliet (ENB) next month. Yay. Unf I love ballet so much.

I saw BRB (lawlz) doing Sleeping Beauty. It was amaze. Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake just completely blew my brains, though. I was shaking and crying at the end, so bloody amazing.

And YES YES the one with the red hair! <333 Brilliance.

Eels up inside ya? I hope they sort themselves out sharpish.

The huge guy in the Trocks whom I loved was Joseph Jeffries, aka Minnie Van Driver, but he doesn't seem to be in the current line-up. Yer chap now looks like Joshua Grant, aka Katerian Bychkova. I think this is him...

Hahahaaaa Minnie Van Driver. Aw I love them. Their names are hilarious <3
