Catching Up!

Sorry you haven't heard from me in awhile...

I had lots of school work so i didn't have time 2 write.
I'll continue on my day since I left you all hanging in suspense!

After lunch or dinner i have 30 minute break, usually playing proper slam (one handed, no doubling up cards, only slamming when you get rid of your cards, get the first pile you slam) against Corey. (Those of you who don't know, Corey is another Billy who went to perform as Billy in Australia and is now back in London!) Either that or playing proper slam against Scarlet(Debbie) except with 2 hands. When I don't do that, I read.

Calls - Depending on the day, we will split up and go to rehearsals (they'll vary from acting, ballet, tap, *hip hop now!*, and acro) in different places. If that doesn't happen, we carry on with another hour of school (not my favorite days) then usually go to the theater to stand by or go on the show. We have up to two calls (rehearsals) before a show. If were on stand by (like an understudy backstage) we often get a massage before the show. I can go on as Billy 2-3 times a week and 2-3 times on as stand by. When people are sick, it can be more. (4)

Night Late Call
A rehearsal at night.
After the call we/I go home and go to bed around 9ish.
or

Show
Sit back relax and enjoy Billy Elliot the Musical.
(The show's a little different for each of us, and our Billys have totally different personalities.)

Someone asked what kind of music I have on my iPod. Well, I listen to stuff like Beyoncé (I like "Irreplaceable" in Spanish!), Carrie Underwood, Nickelback, and some musicals too--like Wicked, Hairspray and Legally Blonde. Another question was about how I started Irish Dance. My older sisters did it so I wanted to, too!

My family is here from New York to see me this weekend, so I gotta go. I'm on TV next week (24th of February) for a birthday celebration for Bruce Forsyth. Check it out if you're in England. (We have the same birthday--the 22nd!)
