I’ve been tagged by Bevis over at I Blogged Myself, so it’s only nice to reply. You’ve got to give the people what they want.

I was ten, and just starting Year 5. My interest in performing was just starting to develop.

A real blog entry coming soon.

I came home early today to eat lunch at home to save money. I kept a stash of leftovers from my previous several meals to eat. After not being home for some four days, my brother came home while I was out, devoured every single morsel of my food, and left his own giant slab of salmon in the fridge, knowing I won’t touch it. This after I specifically told him twice not to eat my leftovers (he has done it before).

If I had the strength, I would go and destroy his belongings right now.

I’m so hungry.

Later: I’ve decided what his punishment should be. I will eat his salmon and then vomit it back up all over his bed. And people wonder why I’m so skinny.

If I set aside the stress caused by the last two nights rehearsals, I’m absolutely thrilled to be so busy again. I haven’t felt this exhausted in a long while, and it’s exciting to know I have to wake up early tomorrow and do it all again.

Somehow I am spending all of my day off tomorrow at a local high school playing piano at two assemblies. How did this happen? I have to wake up early!

Technical rehearsal tonight. We started setting up the headphones for the Charlie Brown orchestra, but it was kind of futile as most of it had to be dismantled at the end of the night. I know it’s going to be a big pain tomorrow night when the orchestra turns up for rehearsal.

This week has gone from mildly busy to hectic. This is why I have grey bits in my hair.

In amongst a sports section filled with stories of drunken sportsmen abusing the public, and people saying horrible things about other people, we get this gem of a quote:

“When you punch someone it is like hitting the ball right in the middle of the bat. It’s nice.”

From a cricketer, no less.

I hope my (proverbial) kids take note. This is how to be.
