One more day till I'm back in my favourite place in the world. No, not New York. Not London. But centre stage. At Artscape Theatre! Beneath the dazzling spotlight. Dancing alongside my fellow Jubber students. It's been too long and last night's dress rehearsal felt so wonderful and fantastic. Our costumes are looking bright, sparkly and beautiful. Our hair... well mine is a work-in-progress. Was trying to explain to the Ping about my on-stage 'do, when bloody autcorrect messed it up:
My message –
"Oh my God Ping! Our hair is so amazing. You have to do a plait down one side, then twists round the other side all going into my bum!"
MY BUM?
Er, my BUN.
Luckily I saw it before sending it unlike some of the other fabulous autocorrects I've had recently. Apart from my flatmate who messaged me that she was 'shitting in traffic'. I was invited to a dinner with my best guy friend and I wanted said flatmate to come along. So I messaged guy friend:
Me: "Is it ok if I bring my flange?"
Guy Friend: "Your FLANGE? Er, by all means!! Love me some flange!"
Me: "Omg no, I meant can I bring my flatware?"
GF: "Flatware? Well I think I've got enough!"
ME: "OMG STUPID AUTOCORRECT. My bloody FLATMATE!"
GF: "Well, why didn't you just say so!"
Anyway. I digress.
So we gathered in the Artscape rehearsal room, kitted out in pretty flowy sequiny water dresses or bright sparkling red fire dresses, hair in plaits and twirls and 'bums' and started to warm up...
And then there was the stage. Oh the stage. And the lights. And the harmony and flow of all our hard work and a fabulous piece about the elements.
