Oh Ant you maketh me laughus muchus! (I'm pracitcing Latin). The ice-cream people must have thought you were crackers hounding them for banana when there was a coles there!!! That's too funny.

don't worry about the stuff you got by on. Tomorrow can be your new day.

Go the exercise ! You are going to have the best arms on the planet! Keep going and post a photo. When are we going to see a shot of you Ant? Do you have a camera?

xoxoxo

so today i recieved a couple of RP Chewy Choc Fudge bars in the post.

I ordered some a couple of weeks ago.. they came (with one bonus one  hnnnnn) and i ate them and loved them.... and then today, out of the blue, two more arive!!! I cannot express how much joy this brought into my day. I was talking to my girl on skype when they arrived.. and laughed in mixed confusion and happiness for at least five minutes before proceeding to make her exceedingly jealous by eating one into the microphone and telling her all about how delicious it was hehehehe 

Sheryl i must give you a big thank you. Your gift has been the perfect topping on a wonderful day and i am truly grateful! Thank you thank you thank you!! Oneday, when i make it to a potluck you can expect to be smothered in a gazillion joyous hugs! hehe Thank you!

Ladies and gents, i promise to start blogging regularly again soon! Life has been a bit up and down, and i had a little emotion fueled relapse. but im back in control and this last week has been almost all up.

And yes, i'll get a pic up soon... i just want to get one where i dont look like a caveman or a monkey lol. I dont seem to have any pics like that of me yet. But i have shaved, now i just need to get the picture taken lol. Soon soon.

much much love to you all..

i dont know what choc fudge bars you're talking about!! i applied for a job at the cirque du soleil, just doing customer service stuff, but i hope i get it!

know what you mean about how you couldnt find any fruit at school that day. i had the same thing when i rode my 80km a while back. was soo hungry and it happened to be a public holiday. the main mall in the city was shut, except for some clothing stores and book stores. i was annoyed that people could buy clothes and books on a public holiday, but yet there was no fruit in sight! the thing that really matters (food) could not be found anywhere! luckily i found a convenient store and bought several pears and apples!! phew!

thanks for the nice words Jen. when things are not so good, or just a bit all consuming in my life i tend to withdraw into myself a little. thats ok but youre right. maybe it would be nice to open up and let other people cheer me up i'll give it a shot next time.. maybe. hehe

Pea! Good luck! I worked in Merch for Varekai (the same show youd be applying for) when they were in Brisbane! its a bunch of fun! really good crew to work with/for. I had an awesome time being the 'Barker', the guy who stands out the front before the show and yells his head off selling programs etc hehe. Did really well at it too  Had a blast! I hope you get in!

Things with me are trundling along. The universe seems to be doing some strange things lol.. busking is getting my name out a little, and i keep having people aproach me about gigs.. but so far theyve all wanted me to perform for free lol. i worked out with one that i would trade a performace for a costume, so thats all cool. another one is a charity gig, but its not a charity i really support so i might see if we can get a trade of something or other on that one (theyre sponsored by an airline), and one lady wanted me to pay (!!!) $45 to busk for tips at a school fete! hello! i know she didnt mean it that way, but thats just rude! lol. so i very politely declined hehe. nonetheless, i seem to be better off financially than i was a couple of weeks ago.. when pay day came this week i actually still had some money left over from last week.. that hasnt happened in a while lol. and im having a second interview for a place im looking to move into this afternoon. (honestly, who has second interviews for renting a room in a flat? lol) if i get it it will save me a good $40 a week which would be nice lol. i really dislike thinking about money like this lol.

and sorry for filling a post with financial hoo-haa but its whats in my mind lately.

but on the training side of things... doing good! i have a carpet-type burn on my forhead lol (neet get your mind out of the gutter) from headbouncing a ball too much lol. broke, or rather SMASHED my 5 ball juggling record yesterday, landing new ball spinning tricks.. making lots of progress in juggling, slack rope, maybe in tumbling too lol but its hard to be sure. ive chosen to drop all of the arial work except web, which is a releif. I dont have the strength for arials really, and to develop that strength would take training in my own time, that at the moment i fill with extra training for juggling lol. we're starting to focus our training more. and in 8 weeks we get to narrow it down even more.

im starting to think more about performance. looking for good songs to do some contact juggling routines to, and have an awesome song to make a hat routine to, when i find the time. possibly even a hat and cane routine would be nice

its a bit tough at our school (probably all circus schools) coz the admin have an idea of where they want you to go, and you have to fight to make sure that you head in the direction that you *want* to go in. and theres the same situation with all the individual trainers. stan is 68 and from the Great Moscow Circus so he wants everything very classical old school circus, Chris the clowning teacher is very traditional "Red-Nose Buffoon" clown and wants everything that way. I on the other hand am a great lover of 'Dark Art'. I like things with a bit more atmosphere. Not everything has to be safe in its style. But thats ok. We come to a compromise while im here, then once out in the big wide world, i do things my way lol. Besides, this training is good for things like street shows, where being 'dark' or a little off centre in a way that doesnt appeal to or sit well with *everyone* doesnt really make you any money. whereas in corporate gigs or stage shows, you can do that and just aim it at your target market.

blah blah blah.

anyway, things are good im still reading everything on here, even if im a little quiet lol. now its time to get a little juggling in before that meeting. much love to all of you.

Thanks for the update Ant!

Oh Sheryl, I love contact juggling. I haven't seen it for years though. And I didn't know it was called that. I just called it 'keeping your balls in the air'.

And love much to you too Antz Pantz (Thanks Suay!). I'd love to see a vid of you doing CJ.
