Hi there.
Hello there.
Hi.

I keep starting a blog post and then remembering that I have pressing matters such as 'pick up skin cream from doctor' (don't worry, it's just for spots, not an embarrassing rash or anything like that) and 'remember to post 3 month late birthday card to father'.

I get distracted very easily - it's something I've found throughout my life, which in a way doesn't fit with the way I also get completely obsessed and involved with things. I obsess over particular films, tv shows, shoe designers, small children's woodland-creature-based toys, etc... watching or looking at them again and again - but I can't seem to concentrate on making the direction my life is going in a decent one. I get distracted by endless cups of coffee and searching for Manolo Blahnik on Google just one more time...

But still. 10 days to go and I'll be in New York.
I am pleased about this.

Last week I had an audition for Doctor Who. The part was amazing, the (highly confidential, so don't ask) script was amazing...the filming dates clashed with my New York trip, but I would have dropped it in a second for the chance to be in Doctor Who. I just heard that I didn't get it, which obviously is a bit disappointing, but at the same time it's now rather handy that I'm going on holiday, as that way it was always going to be a win / win situation: go to New York or be in Doctor Who.
So my new plan might be to book a constant stream of holidays, in order to continually place myself in this win / win situation with regards to auditions.
Obviously it doesn't work in practice as I currently have about 12p in my bank account.
And it also doesn't work philosophically - as if you're constantly on holiday, the holiday becomes your life and therefore isn't a holiday any more.
It was just a thought.

It was still very exciting even to be considered for Doctor Who, to be honest. I didn't watch it when I was little (I'm a bit young - it finished when I was about four), but I got into it more recently, mostly because of my ex-boyfriend, Tom Bell. Tom is a massive Doctor Who fan - he has an enormous video collection, he buys the magazine every month, he probably has a whole box of little action figures that he never dared tell me about for fear I would mock him.

Anyway, the point is that because of this I did get into it quite a lot. Not just the new series, but quite a lot of the old ones - mostly the Tom Baker ones - although I actually sat through 10 black and white, fun-filled hours of 'The War Games' (actually, that was pretty dreadful, but I was trying to impress Tom at the time), as well as a one about a rather dubious Ming the Merciless-style evil 'chinese' magician with an evil midget assistant who kept killing women in order to suck their life force, but he kept mutating...no, hang on, I think I've confused two different episodes there. There was a monster man who kept mutating because he kept stealing the life-force of his victims - and I think the 'chinese' magician with the midget assistant was a different one. I don't know why he killed people - oh, maybe he was working for the mutated monster-man...
Not sure.

I joined a gym at the weekend. After pissing off my housemates by attempting to dance in my room, I decided it was time I made more of a concerted effort to get fit.
Plus it was cheap.
I've also been drinking some of those 'Weight Gain 2000' milkshakes so I can be a beefcake like Cartman.

They're not really Weight Gain 2000 - they're some sort of weird protein supplement that apparently isn't that bad for you. And I'm not really drinking them (don't worry mum), I just tried them a couple of times because my boy bought one of those massive tubs of the stuff from Holland and Barrett. They're actually just pure protein - you mix it with milk... to be honest I think it's just a boy version of Slimfast, so you can go on a diet without looking like a pussy.

Right, I'd better go.

See you soon, lovelies
