I can't believe I got up at 7am on a day when I don't have to be at work. It was mostly so I can cram as much as possible in to today, only now I have discovered that most of the places I want to visit don't open until 10am

Ah well. LOL!

I slept quite badly last night, mostly because I was in a strange bed, so I might have to try and crash for an hour or so before the play. It's three and a half hours long and I really don't want to fall asleep in the middle of it

I'm feeling fairly secure that he's not going to cancel now




So, with all the cancellations and stuff I think my final stalking list is like this

Michael Rosenbaum x2
Jamie Bamber
Amber Benson
Morena Baccarin
Mark Sheppard

As for photoshoots it looks something like this

Michael Rosenbaum x3 (2 on Sat and 1 on Sun)
Jamie Bamber
Morena Baccarrin

I haven't quite decided whether I want my photo taken with Mark or not.

I'm not even sure meeting Michael on Saturday can make me as gleeful as today has. Ok, maybe that's a lie. LOL! It's been brilliant though.

I did all five Shakespeare houses and gardens, went around this silly little tour that was like a cheap version of The York Dungeon (but was still fun) and went on a river cruise.

I have to give kudos to the guide at Anne Hathaway's cottage who managed to keep us in the first room of the house for about half an hour while she told us stuff. At least some of it wasn't true (like Ring a Ring o' Roses being about the plague) but I didn't have the heart to correct her, and some of it was really interesting.

I managed to find time to kip for an hour before I headed out to the theatre. Wow, I had no idea how close to the stage my seat was! I was six rows back from the front and at times I could have touched some of the actors if I'd wanted to.

David and Patrick were wonderful, as expected, but the guy who played Polonius was brilliant! I always imagined Polonius to be quite a dry character but this man made him funny. It worked perfectly!

Ophelia I did not care for but I can't decide if it's just because I don't like the character or because it wasn't a very good actress.

Did the fangirl thing afterwards and loitered at the stage door. It was easy to find, I just followed the other fangirls. LOL! After about five minutes an usher came out and told us that Patrick and David had already left. I was too cold to wait just in case he was fibbing. Hehe!

I has lots of photos of my day in Stratford which I will post tomorrow. I think I need some sleep first.

You Are 56% Goth



You definitely have some gothicness going on, but you're far from being a stereotypical goth.

You enjoy certain elements of goth culture, but you're not going to be into something simply because it's goth.

It's likely that you're the type of person who totally defies labels. Good for you!

If you are into something, it's because you sincerely love it. Not because it projects a certain image.
