My my how life does stuff... and junk...

Hi!

I don't even know where to start or what I have to say so a;lskjhf aip hfiap hfBOO bOOO tree faith loser bun in hutchface down down down to the valley i go in a small brown boat... i wanted to put the word monkey in there but I forgot.

Aaaaaanyway... I'm no longer a blonde - breaking my hair trend of 10 years or so. I am dark red now and am told it suits me well! I feel more in control with this hair. More like my word goes. More like I can haggle with life. Man I love a good haggle.

What else? Met with some record execs over in Berwick Street today and the scary music woman liked me and will probably represent me once I have a demo for them to shop around for me. Hooray! I might become a working singer as well as a paid actor!

What else? Gutted that my childrens theatre job has ended. And that I fall in love with pretty much every man who performs in our theatre. Oh dear. Maybe one day they'll notice me... until then I will remain the stoic barmaid who secretly cries in the lift shaft. Ok that didn't happen. But I'm not saying it wont.

Hey gorgeous, wonderful people!

I hope you're all spectacular! I am!

Busiest day evah today!!!! I had to submit my second screentest for the auditions to find a presenter for the canary wharf film festival awards this year... it was due in at 4. And I hadnt even watched the movie I was supposed to review... so Cathryn and I hightailed it down to the wharf for antics, cameras and shenanigans and stuff...

Despite the tiredness of all involved and the lack of proper preparation we managed to film the best screentest we could possibly have hoped for! And I even uploaded it in time! So lets hope the judges can recognise genius when they see it.

THEN we had to finish my mothers indexing. Well, our indexing, for my mothers book. Again... due in today... So we rushed through it like wind through the reeds... although that seems quite peaceful... maybe... more like... time... or... like... data... on the information super highway... or... fire! Aanyway we did it real quick. And now, as you can tell, my mind is mushy with lethargy and somethin else that I can't remember the word for...

Oh heck this entry is a mess and a half. DONT HOLD IT AGAINST ME, OK!?!?!

I really should get on here more often... when i make sense.

BACK!!!

2008-06-19T20:08:26Z

Due to (not so) popular demand... I AM BACK! For more action...

Hell yes, your favourite blogger is back for more web-based antics/shenanigans... man i love that word. Shenanigans that is. Not antics. Stupid antics...

Aaaaanyway... the point is... well... there isn't one....

I got a new haircut courtesy of my gorgeous and wonderful stepmother... and it looks fabulous!!! Makes me happy to be alive. Not that I'm simple.

What else? Well I live in London now. Hooray! It's fantastic to be a londoner again... so many wasted years in scummy Sheffield and Mediocre Nottingham... not to mention the brief foray into the depths of Russia... *shudder* I can finally move on. Or go back to my roots. Whatever.

Cathryn is eating cake and I wanna go eat my popcorn. So that I shall do. Man I love popcorn... I wish I had a pit of it. To dive in. Naked. Is that weird? Screw it. I think I take it back. I'll decide later.

Muchos Lovos,
El Genioso

Hi everybody!

I want to take steps toward greatness... so I'm going to start getting into some more positive habits. But I may need help keeping them up... does anyone have any good motivation tips or anything that could aid my quest for genius????

I feel pretty smart today... managed to encode my ancient DVD player to be multiregion. HOORAY!

All kinds of junk...

2007-07-16T22:40:29Z

Illness and Travel... a bad combination

2007-07-02T10:54:23Z

Right, so, I'm about to go to the states, but I'm ill. I threw up last night, aren't you glad I told you that?

I've got a few hours to pack and sort my room out. Oops. Oh well, I'll manage, I always do.

I just feel so nasty right now... Pity me!

Sponsorship is the way forward!

2007-01-07T18:16:39Z

So I figured I have a decent amount of money and I should be contributing more to a good cause. So today I signed up with worldvision and started to sponsor a child!

My new sponsoree is 9-year-old Patience who lives in Zambia. She is so cute! She lists dolls as her hobby. I cant wait to start corresponding with her!

I figure also that when I'm a bit richer (and famous obviously) i will arrange to go visit her and see how she's doing. The site does organise visits to see your sponsor child and family. It's a really good charity actually. you can even send your child presents. And they translate all your letters for them.

I feel really good about myself now. :D

Long time no write!

2007-01-07T00:29:06Z

Hi people!

So, I've been incredibly tired recently. I wish I knew why. It's very annoying. It means I end up sleeping all day and then not being able to get to sleep properly when its appropriate.
It's annoying that I don't feel a ambitious recently. Usually I'm all buzzing and determined. I don't doubt that I want to be a star still.. that i want to go into both comedy and musical theatre... but its getting harder and harder to connect with it. I think it's related to my fatigue.
I'm sure I'll be ok eventually, but for now its really quite frustrating.

Gay Rights

Gay Rights
"Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?" - Ernest Gaines

We would like to know who really believes in gay rights on livejournal. There is no bribe of a miracle or anything like that. If you truly believe in gay rights, then repost this and title the post as "Gay Rights". If you don't believe in gay rights, then just ignore this. Thanks.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

Having a pretty good day!

Sketch writing is coming along and its nearly the weekend!!! Weyhey!!!

I am DETERMINED to be a comedian.

over and out

sashavangenius @ 2006-09-26T19:16:00

2006-09-26T15:17:38Z

Right, Russia is stupid. So me and Charlie are going to make all the stupidness into a genius sketch show and get rich, famous and get me a hot celebrity boyfriend.

I love the way this is turning out.

Maybe this place isnt quite so bad after all.

sashavangenius @ 2006-09-24T17:38:00

2006-09-24T13:39:40Z

Charlie is making fun of me!

She just added me and saw my massive shrine to David Walliams - well, my one entry about him.

Anyway, Charlie sucks. As does Russia...

This place is insane.

Great, now im thinking about how hot David Walliams is.

sashavangenius @ 2006-08-28T19:55:00

2006-08-28T18:59:11Z

Ok, so I had this dream about David Walliams, who I have always had a large-ish crush on, and now I'm like, in love with him or something.

And he was a great dream kisser.

The dream was just so real.. I was so annoyed when I woke up.

Stupid reality, without hot comedian lover.

sashavangenius @ 2006-08-27T19:53:00

2006-08-27T18:57:17Z

Ok, I've been given the letter W - meaning i have to name 5 songs beginning with that letter, and then people who reply get given a letter by me to do the same thing. Yes, I am bored.

Ok, so W...

Without you as a friend - From Martin Guerre, a little known song but GENIUS!!!! Makes me think of all my great friends.

Without you - from RENT - my favourite musical... my god its amazing... and this song is soooo sad... I need a happy one now...

Wig in a Box - from Hedwig - much happier! Always cheers me up!!!

Wonderful - From Wicked, there had to be a wicked song in here... not my fave wicked song but it kinda gets me chirpy!

and finally....

Written in the stars - from Aida, sad but a classic...

sashavangenius @ 2006-08-27T19:12:00

2006-08-27T18:17:03Z

Man, I feel a lot more positive recently... It started when I found an old note i wrote to my mum just after my parents divroce.

I found this note in a drawer of my mums, I must have been about 10 when i wrote it and I had no recollection of it. It was horrible. It was me complaining about how much I hate my stepdad and how i would never forgive him or my mum and how much i missed my dad and brother etc. I cried as I read it. I felt AWFUL. So I had to call my mum and stepdad to tell them that it wasnt true anymore and that I loved them.

Its funny, I'd been feeling so down recently but couldnt cry. My throat had had a massive lump in it for days taht wouldnt go away coz i had to cry but couldnt. I was worried i had given myself nodules and thats why it hurt so much. But its fine now. I guess all i needed was a good cry.

That letter made me realise how much i have in fact developed in my life. To grow from hating a person so fiercely to loving them despite all their annoying bits and appreciating them. It made me realise that I can actually do anything I want to do. I used to doubt that. I used to think that I would never really change properly. BUt this is proof that I have changed in at least one major way. I can learn. I can develop. I can do anything I want to.

I feel like I can finally let go of a lot of my issues. It feels great. I love you all.

2006-08-18T20:34:40Z

Grrrr... Big TV events screw with my head...

Clearly I'm watching the BB final. And its depressing me. I think I respond really badly to big important things, things that people remember for the rest of their lives that dont involve me. I basically always feel as if I have no life and i desperatly want one.

I want to be a part of something important. And I wont be happy until I am.

sashavangenius @ 2006-08-15T17:39:00

2006-08-15T16:41:30Z

OMG, I so want to go to GSA.

I cant dance though.

Maybe i'll do straight acting, go into the underground comedy circuit and then get cast in a musical comedy.

Yeah...

Right, I'm off to compose... serious business.

sashavangenius @ 2006-07-17T13:02:00

2006-07-17T16:59:58Z

So, I'm in the states, woo hoo!

Got about a week left and I'm kind of scared to go back as it means Russia is looming... help me.

I'm so not up for going and i keep thinking how nice it would be to quit the course. Oh dear, clearly I'm not going about this in the right way...

Going to see Aida on Friday so thats good and I'm looking forward to Guildford.

Lots of press about Perfect Woman is surfacing so thats kinda exciting. And thats about it i think. Boring...

sashavangenius @ 2006-07-06T14:44:00

2006-07-06T13:47:34Z

Weyhey, life is finally being interesting again!!!

I'm going to have to do a seperate post for LFACC at some point but at the moment I'm all psyched abou tmore recent events...

So my mum sat next to this producer on the train and got talking about me and he wants to meet me! I don't know if it'll come to anything but he's in a high place and any contact is good. I should be meeting his secretary soon and I think she's going to ask me to help with the new arctic monkies video. Hooray!

Also, the film I was in has now got an official website with raw, unedited footage on it which is quite amusing! It's all looking quite good for me at the moment!

Oo, and I may be joining a really fancy-ass gym!

sashavangenius @ 2006-06-13T20:51:00

2006-06-13T19:54:19Z

Booooo, i hate unpacking... and i have been neglecting it very very well I must admit.

Been home for so long and it still isn't anywhere near done. I have too much stuff, if thats possible.

I've got a feeling that im going to get wiht a guy with scraggy blondish hair who always wears a particular necklace. Dont know where this comes from, but tis there!

i hope its true, he's hot.

sashavangenius @ 2006-05-09T08:34:00

2006-05-09T07:39:32Z

Ok, ok... so I neglected this baby... quite badly... oops.

But I have had exams and essays.. not that I actually took any time doing them... meh...

Ok, so my genius friend Rachael in America kicks ass... it would be weird that she's my dad's student but she rocks and LOVEs ,musicals, particularly Wicked. Sigh. Musicals rock big time. I've been reading Anthony Rapp's autobiography which is very much about RENT. It's so interesting and moving.

*cough* watch RENT *cough*

So my friend Emma has gotten me into Kabbalah, but my dad would be annoyed if I said so coz he knows so much about it and is wary of books that concentrate on the fakey pop-kabbalah. Well, it really makes sense to me, so there! Plus it explains Jonathan Larsons sudden death. Sigh, it's so much easier to deal with if you think that he had created his own light and thus got to join the 'endless world'. I sound so cool/lame.

Had my oral yesterday and it kicked ass pretty much. Now i have a drama essay to do.... blah!

sashavangenius @ 2006-04-24T09:52:00

2006-04-24T08:55:31Z

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

John Barrowman sent me an autograoh which reads 'Sasha. Love always. John Barrowman.' How cool?

I love you John! You're such a nice guy! And hot.

Apart from this I am pretty sad. My parents have been a bit crappy with me and I have work a plenty to do. I'm just feeling really dull and can't be bothered with life. Oh dear.

Also, Not only can I not see Wicked in September because of Russia - but Idina fucking Menzel is starring until new year! Stupid stupid Russia. Oh and guess who cant audition for 'how do you solve a problem like Maria?' because of stupid Russia?
