'Someone next door is fucking to one of my songs'

I do rather like that lyric. Of course, it's from a Regina Spektor song. Bobbing For Apples, in fact. I think if I could be anyone in the world, I'd choose Regina Spektor. Or Julie Atherton, perhaps.

I believe that the title of this post contains the first swear word to grace my blog. Probably because generally I don't swear in normal conversation, only when quoting or acting. It's not because I'm prudish - swear words in context can be incredibly effective - it's just that in natural conversation I don't feel the need to swear. And I'm not going to force myself to say something just because everyone else does. But I don't mind when others swear, as long as it's not simply a meaningless conversation filler like the abbreviation 'LOL' when the person isn't actually laughing.

That said, I do love making people 'LOL' if they really are 'LOL'ing. Whenever I talk to someone online, I secretly squeal with delight when I can tell that they have genuinely 'LOL'ed :)

I can now download all those little-known Regina Spektor songs that weren't even on albums, so that's exceedingly good :D

That's all.

Avenue Q is on the radio :D

Avenue Q is my favourite musical ever (and I do love a lot of musicals) and it's on the radio right now! It's also the funniest musical I've ever seen, and having watched it 4 times I still plan to see it at least another two times in London. Have a look :) http://www.avenueqthemusical.co.uk/

Hence, I'm listening to the radio (which is a rare occurrence for me). Julie Atherton and Daniel Boys, both stars of the musical, are being interviewed and are each singing a song from the show at the moment. It's the first time I've heard Julie Atherton speaking out of character and it's quite strange as I didn't imagine her sounding like she does at all. I would call her accent quite a Yorkshire one, but the tone of her voice is very similar to that of Kate Monster's (one of the characters that she plays in the musical).

In other news, I have a follower! That's Hershi, so now we have a follower each. It means quite a lot that she reads my blog, and I have the honour of being the first follower of her blog too! It's working out well.
