Seeing Wicked!

Hello Everybody

Today I finally saw Wicked after wanting to see it for 5 years!

(Stage before the show started)

I attended Wicked with my Mum, Auntie and my cousin Charlee. Wicked started at 1:00 at the Regent Theatre in Melbourne.
Out of everyone i went with i was the most excited because i have been dying to see Wicked for 5 years, so since i was 9 or 10 years old.
When we arrived at the show we took our seats and waited for the show to begin. Wicked opened with the munchkins dancing and singing "No One Mourns The Wicked" while Glinda floated down in her bubble. Wicked starts after the death of Elphaba with Glinda telling a story of how she was friends with the Wicked Witch.

Today was the most amazing day of my life and i am not just saying this because i went to see Musical Theatre. I am saying this because it WAS the most amazing day of my life,  I have many dreams in life and today one of them came true.
I'm not going to say a lot about Wicked itself because i don't want to tell the whole story for people who want to see it as much as i wanted to see it.

School life so far...

Dear Reader.

My name is Mackenzie. I'm a 15 years old girl from Melbourne Australia and my nationality consists of Scottish, English and Australian. 
Ever since i was little i wanted to preform. When i was 5 to the age of 8 years old i would lay a blanket on my bedroom pretending it was a stage and set my teddies along the side of the blanket as my audience, i would play Spice Girls and Kylie Minogue on my CD player and say their songs were my own and sing them to my "audience"

During some years of primary school i got bullied. The first two times was physical hitting. The first time i got bullied was in prep. From my memory, i would be playing on the playground doing my own thing when a grade 5 would approach me and start to tease me and he would hurt me. He would come up to me at snack and lunch times and i would hide from him and i remember one day he was looking all over the playground for me, but he didn't find me.
The second time i got bullied was from a girl who was a year below me. I was in year 3 or 4 and in the mornings before school i would be playing on the big kids playground waiting for my friends to arrive. This girl would come up to me and she would talk to me normally but as she did that she would punch me or kick me. I would run up to my mum crying, begging her to take me home but i always ended up having to go back. Actually, i remember one day the girls Mum came up to me and talked to me about being mean to her daughter, when in actual fact her daughter was being mean to me.
The final time was in year 6 and it was more snickering behind my back. In my year level in was two grade 6 classes of 25 people. I had 4 friends and basically the rest of the year level didn't like me. Because i had a bit more weight on me compared to the other girls i was very insecure. I remember girls looking at me and laughing which made me feel horrible about myself. One day my best friend came up to me and said "I was walking down to then drink tapes with B****** and she asked me 'do you think Mackenzie is fat?' and i told her about how you're very self conscious about that" So from then on i knew that behind my back people were calling me fat.
That went on longer then i originally thought.

Starting High School i made new friends and even started to take guitar lessons which is what made me feel more comfortable with myself because i knew that i could do something that was really cool. 

Year 8 is when i formed a new group of friends and started to try different things. The first thing i did was join the school choir. Because of me wanting to be a performer, this was a big deal for me because i got to sing every week, i got my first badge and i even attended a competition. Not only did i join choir but i also joined the school guitar ensemble where i got to play guitar with a group of people. Because of these clubs i had joined i got to preform at school music nights where everyone who is in a music group goes on stage and preforms what they have practiced to an audience. 

This year (year 9) i am still playing guitar, preforming at music nights and still have my same group of friends and i have honestly learnt so much about myself such as i shouldn't care what people think of me, if i'm not popular and don't have the whole year level love me, that's okay. As long as i have my true friends that's all i'll ever need. 

So my primary school time was pretty shit and my time in high school so far has been pretty fantastic.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Boy Issues...

Hello Everyone!

As you can tell by the title (like always) i'm talking about a boy issue that i am going through.
I won't be saying his name in this so he will be referred to as Noah.
The purpose of me writing this is for other girls my age who may be going through the same thing as me. I'm am writing this to say that you are not the only one.

Last year (2013) 
i became friends with these lovely group of people and this is where i met Noah. As soon as i saw him i thought "this boy looks amazing!" and when i started to talk to him i just found my heart was fluttering and i could feel my cheeks go red, me being me, i didn't think anything of it because i didn't want to like him.
Early in August I was at my friends birthday party, our whole group was there and few more people. I decided to hang around with my girl friend, my guy friend and Noah. We were all inside, music is playing and people are dancing while us four were just standing off to the edge talking to each other, this is when it hit me, i really liked Noah.
Towards the end of the party we decide to watch Mean Girls, but before we did, we all wanted to play truth or dare. I made a dumb decision when he chose dare, i dared him to kiss one of our friends and that's when he said something i didn't want to ever hear him say.
"I have a girlfriend".
Well that just broke me and i felt terrible.
After all that had happened we watched Mean Girls, i sat on the floor with Noah behind me. Half way through the movie Noah started to play with my hair and attempted to braid it.

Months after months it was the same as any ordinary crush is. The school year ends and i'm out shopping with my mum. My mum and i are at a cafe so my mum goes up to order while i go to find a table, while walking out to find our table, Noah walks past me not even a foot away with his girlfriend. Luckily he didn't notice it was me, i was shaking and my cheeks went full on red. Later while my mum and i are shopping i bump into my friend Bella, i mention how i saw Noah but he didn't see me and he was with his girlfriend. I say goodbye to her and head home.
That night i went on facebook to find i had a message from Noah. Hang on what? he NEVER uses facebook. I should read this. 
Our conversation started as "Heard you were at highpoint" "why didn't you say something?" i told him that he was with someone, Noah telling me it was his girlfriend, and that i should leave them alone.
We talked for a while and reading it just now i was really weird and i can't believe the things i said. I got his kik and we talked for the rest of the 2 month school holiday.

This Year (2014)

Things were a bit different. We didn't talk as much as we did over the school holidays but we still did and still do now. I never saw him at school because he was at one campus and i was at the other, but we still saw each other every morning.
Mackillop day comes around (A celebration of St Mary Mackillop that is basically a school fair) and the whole group is hanging out together. Noah, for some reason, was being extra nice to me that day. My girl friends and i went on a ride while Noah and my guy friend held our bags and purses and waited for the ride to be over (they had already been on the ride) the ride came to an end and we were all getting off. My guy friend was holding everyones bags. Except mine. I say to him "where's my purse?" so then Noah comes over only holding my purse. That made me feel happy because my guy friend had three of my girl friends bags while Noah only had mine.

A new ride comes up and were waiting in line to go on. I was told to sit next to Noah.
I am scared of heights and this ride looked pretty scary. We're waiting at the front of the line and Noah sees me shaking and says "are you actually scared to go on?" i tell him yes and turn the other way and so does he, but as he's turning he says "you're adorable" and i couldn't contain my smile.
We're now on the ride and as we were going around the ride i had my eyes closed so to keep my eyes open Noah keeps saying "keep your eyes open!" and he would tickle my side or my knee or my shoulder.
The day goes on and nothing else happens.

This Week.
This is what has recently happened during this week. 
It all starts with me having a dream. The dream goes as i am standing with my girl friends while my guy friend and Noah are talking, Noah then comes over the me, turns me to him and kisses me. I woke up really happy because it was one of those dreams that felt real and i could actually feel the kiss and i still remember how it felt. It felt fantastic.
School starts on Monday, i see Noah and my other friends on the other campus that i hardly ever see. I go with my friends (who are on the same campus as me) to the bus to go to school. I pulled my phone out and go on facebook just to see a picture of Noah and his girlfriend. 
I was being so jealous and making fun of her fore the stupidest things ever and i really regret it, i never said anything to her. I just kept it between my friends and I.
i went home that night and looked at the photos again and in one of them i see that they are holding hands. I know it's something i shouldn't be so worried over, but just seeing the guy you are head over heals for holding someone else's hand just breaks your heart.
Fair enough it is his girlfriend. But, i locked myself in my room for a solid 5-10 minutes just to cry. And that's all i did. cry.
Noah doesn't know anything about this and that's how i intend to keep it.

There's a quote that says "I turned our liking you more then i originally planned" and i think that goes along with my story pretty well. 

I know this is long but i just wanted to get the full thing out. I will be fair and said i did shorten it down a lot.
If anyone can relate to this please comment saying that you relate to this

Dear Mackenzie...

Dear Mackenzie.

I am at a tough where i have to make a decision of what subjects i am going to select for year 10 next year.
I know you're probably thinking "that is nothing to stress about", well right now, it is. I have chosen to do "Motion Sickness" (physics), History of WW2, Drama, Music Production, Music Performance and French.
This is a weird thing for me to continue on with French because ever since year 7 i would always say that i hated it and i wanted to drop it as soon as i could, but for some odd reason i changed my mind this semester 2 at St Mary's. I think i changed my mind because i started to enjoy it and understand what i was learning. At your time i am hoping i have traveled to America and England by now, because i want to travel i think learning french will be good and come in handy because i will be able to fly over to France and not have any difficulties communicating over there.

As i write this i am sitting in the study with mum. Mum is playing solitaire at the moment, not really much different to any other night.

   At the age i am now i have changed quite a bit from how i was a year ago. Last year i was listening to country music and though plaid shirts and jeans were everything in fashion. The idea of a plaid shirt and jeans hasn't changed... It's just the way i wear them is different, i wear it more like a punk rather than a country girl. 
My music taste has changed a bit as well, don't get me wrong i still love Taylor Swift, One Direction and 5 Seconds Of Summer, just instead of my taste being mainly country artists it's gone more to bands. For example: Simple Plan, All Time Low, Blink 182, The 1975, Green Day,
As you know when it came to Green Day (and other bands similar to them) i grew up listening to that kind of music because Dad would always blast it very loudly in the shed while he worked on cars.
but he didn't just do it with bands, Dad played a lot of Billy Joel as well. Like when i was 9 or 10 i remember jumping on the trampoline and singing along to "We Didn't Start The Fire" 

I've gone on about music for a little bit but it's just some memories i had and thought i'd bring it back up. What type of music do you like now? i'm really interested in knowing.

Last night i watched "Teeth" for the first time, some of my friends were saying it was a shit movie, but honestly i really enjoyed it! i found it to be a really weird movie but it was so interesting how she didn't know she had this. I mean wouldn't you be able to feel it? Having teeth in your vagina would be quite uncomfortable but at the same time it would have it's advantages.
Like what happened in the movie, If you were doing it with someone and you found out they were just using you, instead if getting your revenge back by doing something to him at school, you could just bite his dick of right there and then! that would be really cool.
But i'm happy not having teeth down there, it doesn't seem like something i would enjoy.

I've gone on for a while now so i'll give you a break
