Good afternoon! Hail! Please accept my sincerest of apologies, for I have been posting nothing but poetry for a while and I have no doubt that you have all been missing me muchly (yes, muchly). Well, here I am. Here you are. Here we are, together in this tiny blip of cyberspace known as Blog. And so, I begin...
On June 7th, a very good friend of mine, Maestro (whom I am sure has been mentioned in previous posts), celebrated the passing of the eighteenth year of her life, and in attendance at this celebration, along with Maestro's parents and younger sister Alice, and of course, me, was my Mom, my sister Almond, my brother Leo, my Mum, and my Mum's boyfriend Paul. I baked a chocolate birthday cake for Maestro and iced it with cinnamon-flavoured buttercream icing, and decorated with Maestro's Hebrew name written on it in cocoa powder using a paper template. Alice made a cheesecake, and normally I hate cheesecake, but in the past I have loved everything that Alice has ever baked, so I tried it and Hey Presto! I loved it.
I also recently recieved some very good news regarding an audition for the school musical, The Wizard of Oz. I was in the chorus for the musical last year, Singin' in the Rain, and it was really a lot of fun and an amazing experience. But on Tuesday I got a letter from the head of the music department and the head of the drama department at my school, informing me that I did indeed have a place in the musical. Coincidentally, Alice also got a place, and she didn't get into Singin' in the Rain last year. I'm very excited and can't wait for the first rehearsal!
Much Love,
Katie J.
