Idina Menzel
What can I say this woman is incredible, and on the 6th October I finally got the chance to see her live. Something that I've wanted to see forever. If you're not into musicals and stuff you won't get it, but she's too good. Wicked, Rent and Glee. Need I say more?
Thought I was a big fan, and don't get me wrong; i've seen (and know) a lot of crazy fan's but Idina Menzel's following is the craziest I've ever seen. Just look at the crowd, Idina is in there somewhere, you probably can't see because people are launching themselves at her.

Legally Blonde The Musical
Oh wow. Where do I start? If you know me or follow me on twitter you probably know how much I bum this show. Yes, I've seen it a fair few times and still love it now as much as I did when I first saw it. Makes me laugh how many people "don't get" how you can see a show so many times and not get bored. People comment a lot on my regular trips there, but let me remind you, I don't give a flying fuck what you think.
My arguement always is; "have you watched a film more than once? 'Cause that's always the same, with the same cast and lines... This isn't."
(If you're a theatre fan like me, use this comparison, its a good 'un.)
(I don't know what the show would be like if it wasn't for this woman)
If you haven't seen the show then shame on you, you should. I highly recommend it, and who knows, I might see you there.

(Natalie Casey - Current Paulette - Love this woman)
(Suzie Mclean - One of the most talented people I've ever met, incredible)

Ayia Napa
Is that how you spell it? I still have no fucking clue. Anyhoooo, the best holiday of 2011 was of course Napa with my beautiful ladies. Met some pretty cool people on our travels and had some mental times, some of which shouldn't be spoken about again. Had such an amazing time and would love to go back. If you're looking for a party holiday in 2012, get your arses there. Just stay away from the meaty bouncers and crazy Irish gypo's that claw your eyes out. You might also wanna stay away from the hotel we stayed at too, not gonna tell you the name cause it's all part of the experience and I would honestly love for you to end up staying there. Just a warning, if you do stay there.. pack your condoms for when you go in the pool or to the downstairs nightclub. Actually just wear a full body condom 24/7, can you get those? God knows what STI's are lurking round there. You'll thank me later.
(Love these girls)

London Times
I had to put many events into one category, because basically there has been far too many to give each of them a number. I love London, and to say I live about a 3 hours train ride away, I think I've done pretty well to get there as much as I have in a year. Maybe even spent more time there than I have in Leeds. No, that's a lie. I've said so much about how I want to live there, and I'm making a realistic prediction that 2013 will be the year I finally do it.
I've mentioned two things already in my list that go into this catergory, Legally Blonde and Idina Menzel. But I'm just gonna put a few more things down...
Friends
Not gonna lie, I've made some amazing friends in London, who all have the same crazy interests as me. Where have you all been hiding before now? It's great to get away and spend some time down there. When I say I have 2 different lives, I'm not exaggerating. That's the way it is. You know who you are, in case you forgot.. here.
(Ignore the random woman at the back)
West End Bares - Such an entertaining night, can't wait to go again.
West End Live - Great free event, everyone should go.
Wicked - GO, now. (Rachel Tucker... That is all)

PGL
A bit weird for me to think that the best time of 2011 was while I was working but you can hardly call it a job. One of the best 6 weeks of my life. It was crazy, worked hard but definitely played harder. Still on my downer from when I left the place in November and I would love to go back next year but new things have come up.
Met some really amazing people, had a lot of fun and did some wild things that should never be brought up. Loved living on the Isle Of Wight, even if it was full of the chaviest people I have ever met. And I'm sure I will be visiting the island again pretty soon.
Wow. That took longer than expected.
