Is it just me or does the woman who plays Madame Giry in the Phantom 25th anniversary concert remind you of the woman in black? Just a thought. Spooky.

himehikari asked: Hello Emily, thank you very much for following. What a pleasant surprise this is. I read your blog and my goodness, you have a way of writing - made me giggle at your sarcasm and sense of humour. It's amazing! I better start watching my grammar now. I don't write much but I hope you'll find some inspiration from the amazing people that inspires me. Do take care! (and congrats for...
So today I'm doing an experiment that could...
For chemistry, the examiners have had the foresight to set a practical that involves refluxing a derivative of phenol that is, in my teacher’s words, “nasty” (so much so that we all have to wear protective gloves when touching the BOTTLE).
Bad enough? The experiment is also explosive - if one of us messes this up, this nasty phenol derivative is going to shoot out of the reflux...

“Yeah, if Adam was never created Eve wouldn’t know what to do with herself. She needed Adam to tell her what to do with her life”
Actually Jacen, and yes I’m calling you out, let’s look at this statement from a feminist point of view. First of all, to say that a woman needs a man to determine her life goals and to give her a sense of meaning, existence, etc. is ignorant and...

slash-is-love asked: I know... As I said, its in the blood, my mother loves almost (emphasis on almost) musicals as much as I do and my grandmother performed when she was my age in HMS Pinafore and the Mikado, so doomed from the start ^_^. Now, you see, I never would have guessed that- he was phenomenal as Piangi!! Oh Katie Hall- she's got a beautiful voice, and I was sitting thinking how poor he sounded compared...
slash-is-love asked: Ooh, yes, Evita! How did that slip my mind, I adore that film and my mum and grandmother saw the original London cast.. It's in the blood you see ;) Noo! The Go Compare man was Piangi!? O.o I- I did not know that.. *drags out dvd* And I completely agree with you about Nick Jonas in Les Mis, I couldn't help but sigh when he sang Empty Chairs, and not in a wistful nature.. :I I did...
slash-is-love asked: Oh, gosh yes, Les Miserables, Phantom and LND are just beautiful, pretty much anything by Andrew Lloyd Webber writes I could listen to on a loop forever, I adore Cats as well simply because Memory was the first classical piece I ever learnt to sing.. Have you seen the 25th Anniversary for the first two? Oh, my :*) I've seen Phantom as well! I saw it.. 3 years (I think) ago on Broadway, my...
everamelie asked: I think Cardiff's my first choice :D For English Language though, not Law. But hello, I'm Louise. x
slash-is-love asked: Hello!! *waves* I'm Gaby and I'm hopefully going to Cariff university next year, and with your passion for books and musicals I think we would get on if we met. I mean Phantom, Les Miserables and Love Never Dies, I- adore-these, in fact I saw Les Miserables about... a month ago AND I'm seeing Wicked for my birthday- so yeah, hello! :D

Anyone going to Cardiff University in September?
I was just wondering if there was anyone on tumblr who is hoping to go to Cardiff University next academic year - might be nice to get to know people beforehand, y’know? I’m hoping to go there (if I can get the grades >.<) to study law :)
Message me? :)

Oh Mozart, you... :')
Admirer: Herr Mozart, I am thinking of writing symphonies. Can you give me any suggestions as to how to get started?
Mozart: A symphony is a very complex musical form. Perhaps you should begin with some simple lieder and work your way up to a symphony?
Admirer: But Herr Mozart, you were writing symphonies when you were just eight years old!
Mozart: Yes, but I never asked anyone how.

So today was a transition day...
Which basically involves me teaching lots of little children to play flute.
You may think this sounds fun, but when you’ve got five different primary schools’ worth of 10 year olds all with instruments which, a lot of the time, are bigger than they are, all trying to fit in a smallish room with as many of the school’s orchestra as could be gathered with a day’s notice (ie...
I'm bored.
I think this calls for a renovation of ma tumblr.

myheartisatraitor asked: Thank you for following, you have an amazing blog :)
the way I type on tumblr: assntitties lololol rkejwhlkjdhlwkjerhwer I can't even with all these feels
the way I write for class: Under this assumption, it is safe to dictate in a clear and particularly concise way that the author not only felt the need to illustrate the background surrounding the mortifying, yet tragic, action that pushes forward the engaging plot, but also the background of the reader's very own heart.
adialogue replied to your post: When I’m ill, my dad scoffs and patronises me. Now he’s ill, and you’d swear he was dying. Karma. She’s a bitch.
I hesitate to defend them but apparently, due to the killer testosterone, men are less able to defend themselves against viruses, etc. Sigh…women are stronger but it’s not much comfort.
Seriously?! This does amuse me…...
