Tales of a Black and White Stripe

Hey there!
My life has somewhat meshed itself together somewhat. I feel more certain about the next few years than I have done, ever in my life. I'm going to set up my own theatre company, the name of which I'll keep to myself for the moment, so over the next few weeks I'll be contacting my local councils and art group about that. Obviously I'll be continuing my doodling fascination only not as much as before, the world of drawing and illustration will have to take a side-line in my life permanently, and I somehow doubt I'll be returning to it in any great detail again.
I've also been asked and have accepted the role of managing my good friend :icon1-of-the-shadows:'s film company for a short time afterwards/during setting up an affilation between my company and his. It's all very Exciting.
Drama School doesn't seem right for me at the moment, my audition went very well, but it confirmed that I wasn't ready or mentally equipped for such a scheme.
Twelfth Night is going well. I know my lines and am trying to release my Inner-Diva, which is proving harder on the stage than it is in real life :P
Anyway. I hope you've been enjoying my latest pieces as much as I've done drawing them.
TTFN

Drinking Milk With A Spoon

Humble-Bumble.
I officially have too much work... surprising how I've found time to come on here and update my journal. But yes, I have far too much, for someone whose supposed to be on a gap year.
I'm not going to bore the few who've chosen to read this with the facts of what is happening, all I will say is that I need to express myself. I need to break free from structure and rules and regulations and being told what to do and being told what not to do and being told that consistency is the best thing for me. I need to direct something, a play, a theatre group, people my own age, who listen and have discipline, who understand hard work, and if they don't then by God they will do when I'm through with them.
I feel wrong and trapped. It's killing me.
I haven't the necessary skills to convert my feelings into poetry, nor do I possess the talent to write a play, I also lack the ability and skill to draw what I want to. The one thing I do know. For Certain is that I have the drive to be a Director.
FUCK!

Is a terrible terrible thing, no?
I really ought to be going through my lines for the production of a Permanent Way that officially starts tomorrow (Bring on a week of complete self-destruction) And I'm a little funny on the Ques, sooo yeah need to get that done.
On the Art side I'm lacking, very little time to draw and my muse it seems is taking a holiday, I hope she's enjoying herself anyway :D It's the last day of Stage2 tomorrow, I'm not liking the fact that it's not going to be very pleasant, what with having a full run through and such.
Hum... Oh yes, Twelfth Night.
Good and Bad.
This entire year is a Twelfth Night year, I've studied it, I've been in it, and now I'm going to be in it again, the first showing I did I got the part of Sebastian ¬_¬ this wasn't too good as I look nothing like the girl playing Viola, the production itself was below bog standard and it makes me cringe just thinking about what they did to the text, the director obviously doesn't have a clue about Shakespeare and I can't count how many times I have wanted to strike that woman who keeps getting things wrong. Also there's a bunch of boys who have absolutely no self-discipline, I can't begin to fathom the amount of time they were told to Shut Up. Grrr.
HOWEVER!
The Stage2 production of Twelfth Night is going to be... AWWWWWWWESOME!!! I got the part of Malvolio, which I was over the moon with, and not only that but i'm going to be working with a group of people who are amazingly talented, and in general those that I haven't worked with before! Excited! However I know I have a lot of work to do, the Director Liz, really likes the character of Malvolio and I need to do her proud by working my arse off, I know I can do it, I know that I have it in me, it's just... doing it ^^
I really Can't wait!!
I think I may upload some fiction onto here, but who knows ^^
Peace out yo xP

broke up, through a Stephen King phase...

Well with my two exams, Two plays and a LAMDA showcase evening looming... I'm not the happiest of bunnehs.
I broke up with my BF. I'm not good with relationships, especially not long distance ones, and I ended it on the day of GAY pride... not the best of times, but it needed to be done.
I'm mucho excited about the coming summer, after my plays are over I have a shakespeare summer school, I'm working on a project with some peeps, and hopefully *fingers crossed* i'm off to Athens ^^ hoojay-ness, woop woop
hum... what else... I haven't really picked up my pencils to do any artwork... I've the got the feeling that I want to branch out and do something wild and completely out of my element. But who knows. I need to get some chumby on the way... not good.
I've been going through a Stephen King phase in my reading, which I've been doing a lot of recently, I've just finished The Shining (the film does not do it justice in any way, shape or form) and I've moved onto IT. It's funny actually because an hour into the film only covers the first 150 so pages of the book, which has 1300+ :P fail.
I gots the jeebies... I need to do something creative... and not theatre, I've been doing too much and it's showing... I might try my hand at some writing again... though all the good ideas seem to be taken every which way I turn.
hmmm... anywho I need to learn my lines
