Maybe it seems like an unusual thing for someone like me to be obsessed with, but I'm actually in love with Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical CATS. I have been for as long as I can remember. I think I watched it for the first time when I was about three or four. It was my favourite thing on earth, I loved it to death. And even now, at sixteen going on seventeen, it's still so special to me. Yeah, I don't talk about it very often, especially not to my friends, but I actually know all the words to every song. I've watched my DVD of it more times than I can count. I've probably watched it the same number of times as my Howl's Moving Castle (my legit favourite movie ever), if not more. It's just so beautifully done, it's magical. As I get older my appreciation for it continues to grow. It was actually my inspiration to start dancing, I'd say, although I don't dance anymore. I haven't for a few years now, and I don't plan on starting again. It took me about ten years of dancing to realise that I just wasn't that good, especially in the later years. It used to be my dream to be in a production of CATS, but I can settle for sitting in the audience. I have seen a production of it, but it was only by a New Zealand company, so it was a little small scale. It was still pretty good though, and seeing all the scenes and hearing all the songs play out in front of me was amazing. I don't actually know what inspired me to write about this. I think it's because I haven't watched it in a long time, so maybe I'm having withdrawl symptoms. I really want to watch it now. I know what I'm doing with my Friday night!
So today I was thinking about the past month, April, and I realised that it was actually a pretty damn good month for me. Buuuut, I can't be bothered talking about it now, so I'll save that for next time.
I have food in the oven, super comfy pajama-like clothes on, a fluffy blanket, and a hot cup of tea. I'm ready, bring it on. I love you, weekend. <3
