Confession Sunday and Wicked Musical Review

Yesterday, I went to see Wicked with a girl I've known since I was 14, 7 years and to everyone else, this story has the "so what?" factor but I have a confession. Yesterday was the first time we had met in person. Yes, I met Chloe online and now I know some people will say I'm stupid meeting up with her but then they don't understand. I do not agree with meeting up with people online if you don't know them. But for 7 years, Chloe and I have spoken online, webcammed one another and phoned/text. It also took us 7 years to finally meet so it wasn't a decision we took lightly. We were so sure that the other was being truthful and because we're such good friends, we wanted to take the next step and I'm so glad we did.

 It was nerve wracking at first on the train thinking about how weird and awkward it might be. But it honestly wasn't. Because we had known each other for 7 years, it was like meeting up with an old friend. We were a little bit cautious at first but there were no awkward pauses or need to fill silences. It just flowed. It seriously did feel natural to be physically in front of one another rather than talking online. It may sound weird to people who don't understand.

I think that it was a great risk we took meeting up but I hope it paid off. I don't care what people say about people online not being real friends because some are lying bastards but others are real people and I can honestly say Chloe has been a really good friend of mine for years. I do feel lucky to know her and I hope now we meet up more and we stay friends for years to come!

Disclaimer: Do NOT take meeting up with online people lightly, make sure you know them. If you have suspicions about who they really are, don't do it. Make sure they are genuine and tell someone where you are going. If they are real, you won't be afraid to tell people. Please, stay safe and be sensible. Meeting people online is an amazing thing but it can also be dangerous so be sure of who you are talking to!

Wicked the musical is fantastic. I don't know what I expected but I loved it. I loved how it tied in with the well-known story of Wizard of Oz and how many loose ends it tied up. And as for the vocals, they were incredible. I got shivers when they sang and knew that those people on stage were not humanly possible. Noone should sound that good. With just their voice, they brought the theatre alive. It was breathtakingly gorgeous and simply blew me away!

Some people may say the show is a little pantomine'y but I have to disagree. It has elements of comedy but it is a show based on vocals, amazing set design and brilliant acting. They brought each character alive with precision and detail. I really did love it and encourage anyone who loves musicals to go see it.

I definitely want to go see it again, already!!

It was only made better by being able to see it with Chloe :D

How is your Sunday going?
