Questions people never ask me 4.0

What do you feel about the making of Les Misérables as a musical movie?
Excuse the language but, I'm peeing my pants out of excitement to be honest. Tom Hooper (director of the King's Speech) is going to be the director, can it be any better? Although I can't think of anyone less suitable for Valjean than Hugh Jackman, I'm sure he'll do a decent job.

What I'm least looking forward to however is all the songs cutting (one of my favourite songs in Chicago is Class which they cut) or translating songs into dialogue. I can't bare the thought of cutting out any of these amazing (i'd like to say phenomenal but then you'll just think me weird) songs. But then again they can’t have a 2,5 hr movie with no dialogue so I just have to live with it. Good lord, if they dialogue Red & Black I will strangle someone.

What are your guilty pleasures?
Honestly, I like (perhaps a bit too much) going through things I've blogged/tweet about and photos I've uploaded. From time to time I like scrolling through my tweets/tumblr/blog posts and think hey that's quite funny or wow, I am really sad.

What do you genuinly think about Nick Jonas in Les Misérables?
(Judging from the O2 concert) He's not great because of 3 reasons. 1. He's not a good enough vocalist for musicals 2. He's not a very good actor 3. His performance is overshadowed by all these real show-biz people who are, let's face it, mind-blowingly amazing. Although he's not great I genuinly think he wasn't bad, he just wasn't as good as the others.

Who's this Scott Garnham person you keep talking about?
Why, that's an absolutely splendid question. Thanks for asking (This is Tiffany roleplaying with herself). Scott is a current actor in Les Misérables at West End in London. He currenty plays Feuilly and is understudying Enjolras and Marius. (Very interesting stuff yeah?)

The reason I talk about him, other than that he's plain awesome, is because I'm a really sad person. The most recent time I went and saw Les Mis (27th May to be exact), I for some reason felt compelled to tweet about how awesome Mr Garnham was during 'Drink with Me'. Little did I know that I would wake up to find my tweet retweeted with a comment by Scott himself. There you go! Go ahead and laugh all you want but you're not the one having 3 @mentions from him are ya?!

If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be?
New York or Hong Kong (or backstage at the Queen's theatre in London would also be nice)

How many times have you seen the musical Les Misérables? (actually people ask me this all the time, but I'd just like to accentuate how awesome it is)
4 times, one of which was the 25th Anniversary concert at O2.


(Wait, there was a theme in there somewhere.....)

Yours sincerely,
Tiffany

Before you ask..

I have to admit, people rarely ask me things. 

They rarely ask me how my day was or what do I like about London or why I'm interested in fashion. You know, questions that I somewhat would like to answer. But because of how the universe loves to be ironic, the few times I've been asked anything they tend to be questions I don't like to answer. The most popular being "are you going to stay in London after you graduate?" or "are you going to find a work placement?"

I hate answering these questions because it makes me think about the future, getting a job, getting a work placement and improving my CV and all of which just gives me acid refluxes.

So let me answer them (hopefully) once and for all.

Are you going to stay in London after you graduate?
I get this so frequently I've even created a model answer, which goes indifferently like this: "Ehm, I don't know. It depends, if I get a job in London I'll stay if not I'll probably go back to Sweden." This is the pretty cut version, which effectively covers the actual answer.

The uncut answer goes something like this: I don't know. I'll probably won't find a job in London because of A) the awesome reputation of my Uni B) my toilet paper to CV, which will leave me with either slaving at McDonald's waiting for better prospects or going back to Sweden living off my parents as I'll search for jobs I'm probably not qualified for because I have a British degree. Of which I'll probably choose the latter because I can't stand the smell of frying oil.

Are you going to find a work placement?
First of all it's not really up to me to decide whether I'll find a work placement or not, is it? They actually HAVE to hire me before too right? But if you could convince someone to hire me that'll be great. Anyway, I usually say I really want to find a work placement. I really do but they're hard to find. The truth is I'm just too busy or lazy to look for them.

However I have some good news, in my absence from for example blogging, sleeping or actually living my life I've sat down to fix my CV and write those stupid covering letters and I've emerged with no less than 2 interviews in the near future. So am I going to find a work placement? Hopefully yes.

What's your favourite book?
To be honest I don't read that much. I could be all pretentious and say it's because I don't have time but I don't really enjoy reading books, it takes so long time. I'm like I'd rather wait for the movie. XD But I HAVE read some good books (when I want to feel snobbish) like "A Long Way Down" by Nick Hornby and of course the Harry Potter series.

Where do you shop?
In London, New Look, Primark, Uniqlo. In Sweden, H&M, Monki, Gina Tricot, Zara.

Are you going to watch Camp Rock 2?
Short version answer: Yes. Long version answer: As you might know I really dislike the forst movie and I was entirely against the making of the sequel. I knew it was going to be total turkey and I still know it's a turkey. As I've start to admit that my JB fandom's starting cool off I have pondered whether it's worth to watch it just for the boys, and my answer is yes (at least once). Why? Because I want to see Nick's (Nates) forbidden romancing with Chloe Bridges (whatever her name is in the movie).

What's worst with living by yourself?
I think it's the social bit, there aren't as many to talk to whenever I feel like it. Otherwise I'm managing the cooking and laundry.

What did you wanted to be when you were a kid?
An actress or before that an astronaut.

Which song did you most recently listen to?
Mr. Curiosity - Lena

Eller or Vogue?
Definitely Elle. I don't like Vogue's layouts.
