Hi Diddly Dee, an Actor's Life for Me
"Those who agree with us may not be right, but we admire their astuteness."
Cullen Hightower
The lovely Mr Squish has issued some questions, which I must duly answer - so here goes... Q: What grosses you out ? A: Currently, people sniffing. But not just sniffing, that disgusting deep-seated snort that you just know has left them with a gobful of phlegm that needs to be spat out. And, knowing the nasty little chavs, probably will be. *shudders* Q: What was the most trouble you got in at school ? A: At my prep school there was a minstrel's gallery, known as 'the balcony' above the dining room. If you were caught talking after lights-out (it was a boarding school) then you were sent to sit on the balcony. If you were sent to sit on the balcony 3 times then you had to do detention, which usually consisted of copying out tracts of various dull books and then watching it being ripped up in front of you at the end. I spent quite a lot of time in detention. At senior school I had a friend who tried to top herself - not very seriously, more in an attention-seeking teenage kind of way. However, as I was also an attention-seeking teenager I completely overreacted and tried to barge my way into the san to see her. However, I was supposed to be in assembly and the French teacher caught me AWOL. On asking why I wasn't in assembly, I refused to tell her, and was subsequently hauled up in front of the head and told I was arrogant. Yeah, probably a fair point. I never got myself chucked out of school or anything though. All 3 of my brothers did. I'm quite disappointed in myself. Q: What song do you have in your head at the moment ? (For some reason, I have the theme from 'Kickstart'.) A: Currently 'Easter Bonnet' from the film 'Easter Parade'. (In my easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it, you'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade). I blame Midget for this. Q: Who's the most inappropriate person that's ever given you urges ? A: Probably my (female) dance tutor at college. Dance classes were quite distracting. Q: What do you consider to be your worst vice ? A: Intolerance of stupidity. Anyone want to be put under the microscope?
Questions, questions...

(4.3.05 12:20) I've already got some q's from Heather. I must get to them.. |
|
(4.3.05 12:24) Ohhh you went to a posh school then! Actually, we had bonnets as part of our summer uniform back when I was 5... |
|
(4.3.05 12:27) We didn't have bonnets, although at one of my schools we had capes. They were quite cool, actually, although they were made of wool and smelt of wet dogs if you got caught in the rain. |
|
(4.3.05 12:32) Ah yes, that was just like my old school blazer, a tasteful cherry red colour. Before they gave us the red colour scheme we had navy blue and the winter equivalent of the straw bonnet was a navy blue beret. I always used to forget mine though and got black points
|
|
(4.3.05 12:36) At one of my senior schools we had green skirts and brown tights and we looked like trees. In the summer we had green and white striped dresses that made us look like spearmint humbugs. I was always very glad I didn't go to Stonar school though - they had nasty brown and yellow uniforms. Ugh! |
|
(4.3.05 12:40) oh yes, there was a school like that in central birmingham - a brown blazer with blue and yello edging. It always made me feel quite smug with my cherry red look. Plus we never had to wear ties so I cant actually tie them now which means I can never reenact that scene from pretty woman where she ties richard gere's tie properly and says that she slept with the dbating team. Its a sad fact that I have to live with |
|
(4.3.05 12:53) I used to be able to tie ties, but after a recent event where I tried to re-enact said Pretty Woman scene for The Architect, I discovered that I've now forgotten. Or at least how to do a Windsor knot. I can do the rubbishy half-Windsor, but that's not quite the same... |
|
(4.3.05 12:54) I am also being distracted by the thought of you and your female dance tutor. |
|
(4.3.05 12:59) Thought you might be, Squish. She was hot... Ooh! A sweetie! Thank you, my love *mwah* |
|
(4.3.05 13:00) windsors, half-windsors, its all greek to me. I do however, know how to undo them which I suppose is the most important skill... How many shcools did you go to ? |
|
(4.3.05 13:17) I went to three different senior schools. The one that I went to from 11-14 closed down just before I started my GCSEs, so went to the grotty local girls' school for 2 years and then moved on to a really top school for my A-levels - which is where I met Maisy )
|
|
(4.3.05 13:21) so you were often The New Girl ? You lucky girl. I went to one school from the age of 3 until i was 16 but the sixth form there was rubbish so then I changed schools for my A levels. I'm not really in touch with any of my school friends, more my university friends, you're a lucky girl again I say for having good, old friends (not aged, just ones you have know for a while) |
|
(4.3.05 13:25) Okay then, Floaty - hit me with some difficult questions. |
|
(4.3.05 13:32) Wheee! My first victim - er, I mean, interviewee ;o) Will get thinking and come up with some good 'uns later this afternoon, hopefully... |
|
(4.3.05 13:32) oh oh can i play too please? i got all caught up in the schooldays are the best days of your life thing |
|
(4.3.05 13:33) Why of course - I'll post some questions once I've thought of some! |
|
(4.3.05 13:34) I hate missing out so count me in on whatever it is we are supposed to be doing. |
|
(4.3.05 14:20) Goddamn work - it's really interfering with my blogging ;o) Will formulate some questions for you three once I get a minute... |
|
(4.3.05 23:55) *sulk* |
|
(7.3.05 09:09) Well if you will insist on actually working rather than getting involved in these life-affirming discussions during the day, Tristan...! |
