OMG! I just found out that I got the lead in my theatre's double feature! Yay! So I'll be playing Lorelai in Gentleman Prefer Blondes AND Satine in Moulin Rouge! I am a little nervous though, because I have to learn Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend and Sparkling Diamonds and I'm worried that on opening night I'll break out into the wrong one! And the dress for Moulin Rouge is crazy short, so I guess I'll be obsessively going to the gym for the next month... Paris here I come!

I have a question about people who protest to the content of songs. Do they even have a life? Do they just sit by the radio or the TV listening to music all day? Seriously. I mean, for most people, if they want to listen to a song, they'll listen to it. If they don't, they turn it down or off. People do have the opportunity to TURN THE DAMN THING OFF. That way, they don't get offended. I'm a little annoyed and incensed about this issue at the moment, mainly because it has just come into the forefront over the song "Brother" by Smashproof. Apparently, some people are offended by the lyric "Would you take away a kid's life just because he tagged?", referring to the case of Pihema Cameron, a 15-year-old boy from Manurewa who was stabbed to death by a man who caught him tagging his garage door. According to the lawyer of Bruce Emery, the man who stabbed Pihema, the lyric does not display the whole of "what it's about". Forgive my French, but what the bloody hell else is it about? Bruce Emery, a fifty-year-old businessman with two houses, heard two boys tagging his garage and went out to warn them off. WITH A KNIFE. What do you go and get a knife for unless you're expecting to hurt someone? And, when Pihema ran off, Bruce Emery did not just leave it at that. Oh no, of course not. HE RAN AFTER HIM AND STABBED HIM IN THE HEART. Right, because that's just totally sensible. Over a garage door?!?! Come on, he's a businessman, he owns TWO houses. Is it really that big of a deal? Why couldn't he have just painted over it? And it's not like he's suffering big time over it either. He got acquitted of murder, had the charges dropped to manslaughter and got four years. Right. So he'll be out in two. For taking away a boy's life. And to add insult to injury, Emery's lawyer said on sentencing day that it was time for his family to "move on". Yay. So a boy, A 15-YEAR-OLD BOY is killed, a boy who was a son and a brother and a friend, and they're just supposed to move on?!?! You can guarantee that if it were a Caucasian boy, Bruce Emery would have gotten life for murder. Come on. It's the truth isn't it? Particularly here. We're supposed to believe that New Zealand is a multi-cultural society, sure it is, but they don't mix. Anyway, I'm going to stop now before I burst a blood vessel or something.

There are very few stories that leave me speechless, but there are very few words that can describe the horror of the Australian bush fires. Here, in my little place in Tauranga, where people sleep in with their windows and doors open because of the heat, the skies are pink at 3am in the morning, and you can smell smoke in the air. Apparently it's the same for my family in Auckland. I cannot begin to say how profoundly saddened I am by the situation of my country's closest neighbors and comrades. My prayers are with everyone at this time. I would also, in an indirect way, like to thank the people who donated to relief funds for the Victoria area. Also, I am praying for my Aunt, who recently moved to the Victorian bush, and whom I have not been able to contact yet.

Love

2/17/09 08:13 pm - Shag the British... Part II

Persnickety, flibbertigibbet, lollygag—some words are just more fun to say. What's your favorite word?

2/10/09 02:22 am - Writer's Block: Half a Glass

Do you consider yourself an optimist, a pessimist, or a realist?


View other answers

I consider myself a realist, because to me being a realist means being a mixture of both pessimism and optimism. Besides, nobody can be just one all the time can they?

2/10/09 01:47 am - Raindrops on Roses...

Has anyone ever heard the song Lilizela Milizeli by Mahlathini & the Mahotella Queens? He you haven't, download it, youtube it, itunes it or something. You'll get a serious kick out of it. Also, make yourself a nice cup of tea and some chocolate chip biscuits. TREAT YOURSELVES PEOPLE! And those biscuits will taste even better with melted chocolate over them. Just a thought... It's official people, it's mental health day! Well not really, but why can't it be? Do something that makes you feel good for once!

2/6/09 07:54 pm - Writer's Block: Seven

Which of the seven deadly sins—sloth, greed, lust, gluttony, anger, envy, and pride—are you most likely to commit?


View other answers

The deadly sin that I would be most likely to commit is gluttony. Anybody who knows me knows that I never stop eating. Of course this, coupled with another deadly sin, sloth, means that I usually have a forever expanding waistline, meaning lots of my favorite sin - greed - because I have to keep shopping for new clothes!

2/6/09 12:50 am - New Year, Same Old Boring Me

Welcome back people. Rightio. Virtual high-5. So I've failed to tell people that I'm working on a new film. Pretty cool huh? I know! The thing is, it's costing $50,000 to make. That's a lot for a 10 minute film. That's like, $5000 a minute. And to top it all off, my producer is happy to spend it all on strip clubs. We share an apartment, and a week ago he comes home all shit-faced and tells me he spent $2000 at the local. Isn't that funny? Yeah it's funny, it's frickin' hilarious.

4/27/07 09:32 pm - ranting.......

urgh, I want to rant. Badly. Is it just me or is like, everything screwed up lately? Okay, No. 1) I may be the only one that thinks this, but my god the last few episodes of Grey's Anatomy have been bad. It's like watching a car crash in slow motion. The storylines are beyond bad. They sound like somethng *insert name of person emma, linge and i usually make fun of here* made up in 30 seconds. Or something some braindead, drugged out hyppie wrote.

No. 2) The weather. Is it not meant to be almost summer? I mean come on people!

No. 3) Again, I'm sure I'm the only one who thinks this, but Desperate housewives has kind of been the same. It had it's lowest ever rating this past Sunday apparently, after it set the lowest one before that only three weeks before. I'm convinced it's because of the five week hiatus. No show that good should be gone for that long!

Okay, I'm done ranting, for now. I'm off to write poetry. Perhaps I'll post it here later.....

Love, Hayley

You Are 60% American

Most times you are proud to be an American.
Though sometimes the good ole US of A makes you cringe
Still, you know there's no place better suited to be your home.
You love your freedom and no one's going to take it away from you!
How American Are You?

4/20/07 02:29 am - It's just me, myself and my sippee cup

So yeah, some of you may know of my now infamous sippee cup, with it's uber cool coca cola bottle cap lid. I just thought I'd make a post saying, I, as the sippee cup drinker, am the biggest worshipper of the sippee cup you will ever find. Believe it people.

4/20/07 02:23 am - Dream of Me

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Say good night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream an little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
Now I'm longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till something find you
Sweet dream that leave your worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

But fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
But I'm longing to linger till dawn
Just saying this

But in your dreams whatever they be
You gotta make me a promise
Promise to me
You'll dream a little dream of me

(Instrumental)

As your dreams carry you across a midnight breeze
Through summery fields of bees
Promise to me
You'll dream a little dream of me

Dream a little of me.............. (x2)

4/13/07 10:14 pm - There's a calm surrender.....

It's the first time in a little while than I can actually say I am happy, in the way that says "No one can take my heart" sort of thing. Yeah, some of you might know I broke up with my boyfriend about two weeks ago, after I actually listen to what some snotty little brat said about him. Needless to say, she quite happily put the moves on him after we broke up, but now, I am pleased to announce that she is now officially pregnant, and her parents refuse to let her have an abortion, so her life is pretty much gone now. That being said, I do wish her the best of luck, I just feel sorry that the kid won't have a better mother, because he/she deserves it. Okay, moving on to much brighter, and happier things.

Today I went to a friends of a friend's mom's house, where we were meant to be having some sort of social gthering with people you don't know and you are forced to go up to people and say "Hey! How are you?" with that really fake smile that could give Bree Van de Kamp's a run for her money. It's a little north of Los Angeles, not that far out of the city, but it's heading up into the mountains. As we drive up her really long, painfully steep, winding driveway, I noticed her house was like a barny thingy. You know, half ranch, half place where you keep hay full of horse poop. But I loved it, it had this really rustic feel with a tin roof that felt like if you just sat inside when it was raining, with the TV off and being absolutely still, you'd hear the tiny drops of rain on the roof, which is very soothing. It got even better inside, to be honest, it looked like something out of a Martha Stewart catalog or something. So in the end, we just ended up watching really corny, funny movies, with surrond sound, and because her house is like a barny thingy, it like, echos everywhere, and the dialouge gets mixed with all the echoy stuff and you can't understand a word people are saying.

So, after watching such socially thrilling and morraly correct movies like Jesus Christ Superstar and Pirahna II, we went outside to look at this girl's animals. But onto the exciting thing, I got to milk my first cow today! lmao, by hand into this little wooden bucket, which isn't as bad as I thought it would be, it was actually quite fun. So, as I was squeezing it uddery thingies (what are they actually called? Udderi or something?) an interesting thought crossed my mind "I'd really like to meet the guy who first looked at a cow and said 'what would happen if I squeezed those little dangly things and drank what came out?' "  lmao, that'd be fun. I'd expect he'd be some sort of gung-ho hillbilly kind of guy. With a little straw hat and overalls. Speaking of overalls, I saw a pregnant lady the other day, who was wearing those overalls that only come down to your knees and a little cotton tee shirt. It wasn;t the most flattering look, in fact, to be perfectly honest, she looked like an over inflated beach ball.

So yeah, the res of my day was pretty uneventful, saw these hot latin dudes dancing in a little square on the boulevard, it was quite cool really. Anyways, since I'm taking this mini psychology course, and I have to turn in a paper about happiness tips that you have to make up tomorrow, I thought I might show you my top five ones. (And yes, these are actually the ones I'm turning in)

1. Be happy with what you've got. Don't try and change it. If yor life is good where it is right now, you'll know, if it's not, fate will give you a little tap on the shoulder. I believe that everything will work itself out eventually, maybe that's because I'm lazy, I don't know, but it seems to have worked out for me.

2. Don't try to grow up fast. I've tried it, it never works. Trying to be the responsible, all powerful nineteen year old when you're really only the snotty, stuck up fourteen year old doesn't work. Take your time, think a lot, think of everything you've got, because age is one of the few things in life that deserves to be apreciated and respected for what it is.

3. Find a good therapist. Believe me, it helps, and everyone, especially the friends you've been dumping on for the last three months will thank you for. Talk to someone who can help you. When you're going through a rough time, tell someone, and if hey don't get it, keep telling someone else until until you find someone who gets it and is able to help. I once had a friend who said "Harden up" and hardening up is NOT what you need to do.

4. Have a good support system.  I really couldn't live without mine. And whatever we do, whether it's shopping, hanging out, painting, what we love about our friendship is that we talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.

5. Don't hate your body. Who cares if your not the thinnest person in the world, with being thin does not come beauty. The real beauty comes within yourself. So be happy with who you are, where you are and what you look like, because there is no one else in the world like you.

lmao, yeah, I'm probably going to fail, but I thought they were good. Anyways, that's it from me now, love ya lots
