Bring on tomorrow

It's such a long time since I even thought about this thing that I don't know where to start. I've had a very intense year. It almost feels funny to read the last two entires now because so much has changed. For one thing, I've finished the school I was attending at the time, and am now sitting at home in my PJ's just relaxing, all by myself. This feels very odd; I am used to never being alone in a place with 100 people cooped up in the same location now, so eating breakfast alone was the weirdest sensation ever. I miss my friends, and my new boyfriend. Yes, I've finally found a guy who cares about me. He's the nicest and funniest person ever, and we're so alike that we often seem to read each others' minds. It's almost spooky, but in a nice way. He's down in Oslo now, and I hope I'll be able to come and visit him soon. It was so cute - on the day of our departure he constantly held me in his arms, as if he was refusing to let go of me. Oh, in case you're wondering, no, he's not the guy I mooned about in my last posts. He got kicked out and is one of my buddies now. I met him at the train station yesterday, and he seemes to be doing relatively well, considering the circumstances.

Quite apart from that I've had a blast on the stage this year, playing in "Fame the Musical" and doing various crazy stunts in concert. I've also recorded two songs, which are now available on myspace: http://www.myspace.com/minyaliel.

I think, if I were to write about the entire year I'd be going on for ages. But seriously, even though I didn't learn anything (really, I didn't, which is a pity) I don't really regret it. It's all the people that I've met. I really love you guys. And Axel, I really, really miss you. I know I've told you so before, but I love you. *hugs and kisses*

Dingy Ol'e Cellar part I

So, we start shooting the movie yesterday. We were all pretty excited, and I had a really hard time trying to not seem all giggly and scatterbrained; keeping my hand from shaking was a project of its own... So, i spent a few hours painting the singing lady, Victoria, and then we went into a warm cellar with no air circulation and tons of equipment to shoot. For hours. I was glad that the makeup lasted that well - I was sweating all over, even though I wasn't doing a thing apart from looking and touch- ups. It's the biggest truth of showbiz manifested: if you're not in the lead, you'll probably have to prepare for a long, long wait. In case you're in the lead, be prepared to work until you feel like fainting, and then work a little more, just to be certain.

I haven't told you much about the video, have I? Well, it's for a norwegian singer/ band called Minerva (they're on myspace) and the song's called Crawl. They sort of remind me of Nightwish and Within Temptation, which are bands that I honestly never really liked. I don't mind working with Vic, though; she's a nice lady, and although I don't find her music that agreeable I still respect her work. Anyway, just being behind that cam and in the crew for once was wonderfully relaxing (at least after I knew for sure that the makeup worked and that everything was looking pretty).

I just recieved a phone call now, the crew's picking me up in a few minutes, so I'd better get going. I'll give you an update again either tonight or tomorrow morning.

An update

Oh man... haven't visited this place for AGES. Well, I've suddenly become a very busy lady; I've gotten the part of "Miss Sherman" in Fame the Musical. I'm still busy with school, but have also made myself noticed by my make- up skills, and have been hired to play at being a make-up artist in a new music video that's being made this weekend. I'm rather excited about that. It's a low- budget production, but even so it will be something to show off on my CV... On the downside, I missed the chance to go to auditions for music schools this year, which I think is rather sad. To compensate for this I aim at becoming enrolled in the make- up course (stage makeup and other) at NISS this autumn. I'm up to my ears in work, and I'm loving it. I've got to go now; I'm waiting for my vocal student to show up (yes, I do teach singing now as well). I promise to try and update this place, because now I might even have something exciting to write about... ;)
