THE THREE MONTHS THAT WERE

Hello! 

Without a worthwhile reason why I haven't blogged for the past three or so months, I'll just get on with it with a 'three months that were' literary voyage…hold onto your hats. 

If you enjoy any of the subjects below and would like elaboration, please advise and I'll use it to theme future posts.  

THE THREE MONTHS THAT WERE

I….

Mastered parallel parking. It only took almost 10 years of driving. I still have to turn down the radio's volume and ask passengers to not speak a word while I engage in maximum concentration. 

Injured one of the most unattractive muscles, an adductor muscle in my groin. This happened trying to incorporate a front facing switch leap into a dance routine while rehearsing for Legally Blonde The Musical. Needless to say it didn't end well and over Christmas I was walking around rubbing this muscle realising this action was possibly socially unacceptable. My family gave me little sympathy probably because I milked the injury for all it was worth and kept voicing my grievances to different family members hoping for a "there there". 

Relocated houses…it was a moving experience. 

Prematurely set off a confetti cannon at an event I was promoting. Some would say the event went off with a bang. 

Used way too many puns. This included when I was in Byron Bay for New Year and while stargazing I threw in the one liner "well if it's any constellation" which was appreciated immensely…as were the "uranus" jokes. 

With the pun count at about 1001, I dropped another enjoying a few drinks at the Brisbane German Club with friends. Upon 'Prost'-ing (cheering to good health) with some butterscotch schnapps, the shot glass slipped from my fingers, however, I caught it mid-air to the amazement of my friends.  Some would say my reflexes were quite schnappy, others would roll their eyes when I relayed the story a week later. After dropping the "schnappy" punch line in my recount, I took it one step further: 'Thank you, thank you, i'll be here all week, try the veal….schnitzel"(well I had to customise it…I had been in a German club after all). 

Went on a few dates. One included a surf day where I got severely sunburnt. Fortunately, the redness faded, not unlike the potential relationship. 

Performed in Legally Blonde The Musical. By then my injury had pretty much healed, however, I abandoned the switch leap move and threw in a standard stag jump. 

This happened and I didn't win a car, but scored a few Broncos tickets for the season.

I reignited my passion for acting deciding 2015 would be the year i'd improve on my yearly average of obtaining paid acting jobs. The average is currently at 1.16. I celebrated this revelation with new head shots where I embraced being a ginger-ninja. (Image by Megan Birdy Peacock) 

Finished season two of the TV show Smash. 

Ate a fair bit of vegan food thanks to my new housemate, Sally. 

Ate a fair bit of meat thanks to my housemate Jess who works for a beef company. 

Rarely purchased my own food. 

Didn't finish my novel. 

Went for runs sporadically. On one of the runs I realised renovation had begun on a massive house. The next time I ran past, renovations had been completed. 

Choreographed my first musical, The Brisbane Arts Theatre's The Little Mermaid JNR opening next Saturday (tickets here). A not so memorable moment was when I was showing some of the performers a piece of choreography and accidentally stabbed myself in the eye with a pen. 

Went to the pub and my mate said, "What would you like to drink?". I responded, "Hmmm, I can't…de-cider". (Ding ding! Pun #1002). 

Laughed for about two hours when I saw this meme. 



And that my friends is the three months that were….
