So wanna cover this song

How incredibly beautiful...

Bedroom ideas

Mother and I went to collect some wallpaper samples today as i'm decorating my bedroom very soon :) My room has needed doing for years and now i'm back home I thought now would be the perfect time to transform my space. At the moment it's a little plain and I want something a bit more sophisticated and personal. I've been doing abit of internet browsing in search for some inspiration and came across a few idea's I really like.

Proud Friend

Two of my very good friends have recently just received the most amazing news. Grace Mckee has just made in onto the West End touring production of 'Evita' as part of the ensemble and will also be understudying the leading lady of Eva! And Miss Kimmy Edwards received the news today that she has made it on to the West End production of 'Legally Blonde' the Musical. I am sooooo sooooo proud of these two gorgeous ladies, I know how hard they have worked to get this far and I have every faith they are going to do so well with their careers in Musical Theatre.

Eclipse

I've recently been to see Eclipse and once again fell completely in love with the characters and storylines all over again. I've read all the books and everytime a new movie comes out I always pray that they dont destroy the amazing creation Stephanie Meyers has produced. I think this film is a brilliant interpretation of the third installment of the Twilight Saga and it pains me that we've gotta wait till November 2011 for Breaking Dawn to be released! I'm not quite sure why I've become so hooked on this crazy roller-coaster of a story.... although it may have something to do with Robert Pattinson :P but I will be extremely devastated when it all comes to an end.

General Life Update

I actually cant believe how neglectful I have been towards this little blog of mine lately but surely this can also be a good thing? Atleast it show's I have been a busy bea :) Soooooo there are a number of things I can reflect on over the past few weeks, these include;

My Graduation

Yup that's right I am now an official graduate of Oxford Brookes University and now obtain a bachelor of arts honors degree in arts management & administration! So I am now Rebekah Jayne Poole BA (hons). Sounds weird. Ha. I doubt I will ever be called that but it makes me feel a little bit special for a little while. The whole day was lovely my graduate hat even fit perfectly according to the lady who dressed me which was a win. It was however terribly hot throughout the entire day so I was pretty much cooking underneath all the gown, but it was well and truly worth it. Everyone looked great and the ceremony was actually really enjoyable and me being the loser I am actually got a little bit emotional during it. I think this is purely because I never actually pictured myself getting this far with education, well I did but it didn't really hit me till the actual day that I had finally finished my academic studies. I felt very proud of myself and most importantly I made my parents proud too. The ceremony was followed by a lovely reception at the marquee my Uni had put up complimented with yummy pink champagne and canopies. We later then went out for a meal which was the perfect way to end the day with my nearest and dearest.

My New Job

So since graduating, I have managed to land myself the job I wanted at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury and so far I am really enjoying my time there. I am currently working in the Box Office department and have been very welcomed by all who work there. The people are lovely, the building is awsome and I really couldn't be happier at the moment.

Karen Carpenter

Yesterday I watched a film about the life of the legend that is Karen Carpenter. The Carpenters mean a lot to me because they were one of my very first samples of pop music. As a child I used to go round to my nan's house, sit next to her CD player and play all their records. My nanny Peggy used to love them and in return I loved them too. Karen Carpenter had a voice like velvet and there is simply no-one that can compare to her; she was unique and their songs are timeless.

I knew that during her time in the limelight she developed anorexia but the film provided a proper insight in to the reasons behind her disorder. It was sad to watch but at the same time it did give out a good message. I am currently dieting and trying to loose weight but I know it is important to keep control of your habits and stay healthy, however I don't think I will ever be prone to anorexia simply because I love food too much! But the film does deliver a good example of just how important it is not to slip in to bad eating habits. Karen tragically died at the age of just 32 because of the impact of anorexia but she will always remain a musical inspiration to me, she was beautiful, it's just a shame she could never see it herself .

New hair :)

I got my hair did like last week....thought id post a picture. Highlights and fringe! I always think about what it would be like to go brunette but then I don't think id be me if I weren't blonde. I think you always feel better about yourself with a new doo. I've been going to my hairdresser Jasmin since I were 16 and she never fails to please. So thankyou Jasmin :)
