Today, I met a fellow Athena member who reminded me to get back to my blogging. As a Freelance Copywriter, I have been so busy pitching for new work that I have completely forgotten about posting new blogs. Melanie had to remind me that the best way to let people know about my writing style was to blog. I'd also like to add that Melanie is a social media networking genius, hence it would do me good to take her advice.
The past few weeks have been filled with getting excited over my teenage daughter and her friend's preparation for the GLEE concert in O2 London. First, we ordered special Starkid t-shirts online. Next, we panicked that they would not arrive in time and I was trying to get them done locally in town but it was too expensive. Anyway the t-shirts arrived promptly, the girls had a birthday party and sleepover, during which time they made a banner for Darren Criss (the current heart throb) using my friend's bedsheet ( I think she knows about it). The next day, after a train and tube ride, not forgetting bumping into excited fans from Europe and America, the girls finally got to see Darren Criss in action. Needless to say, they were over the moon! My daughter came away saying that she was not particularly taken up by the English accent that American Darren tried to put on. Besides that, she felt sorry for him after realising that he had to keep singing the same songs and performing on stage several times over a few days! This, I guess was reality, in comparison to watching him singing on youtube in the comfort of his bedroom.
You could say that I was equally excited as the girls and have not forgotten the simple joys of being young and carefree! Oh, did I mention that the bedsheet banner was not allowed in due to its enormous size! But it was a fun day all in and we will remember it for a long time to come!
