Wednesday 17th November 2010Today wasn't brilliant. Got into an argument with one of my friends (long story, am not rehashing it here), didn't make it to my lecture because I didn't get up until 12pm but then went around another friend's house because I've been given a part in a production of "Dangerous Liaisons" that we're performing next... April(?!!). I'm going to be Rosemonde, the principle character's aunt. A few line but I do get to wear a pretty dress.
I've also been trying to research some of my family history but it is proving.... difficult. Mainly because a lot of my mum's family is from Scotland/Northern Ireland so the records aren't online for those areas. Secondly, on my dad's side, I've been unable to find his mother's birth records. He's convinced she was born in 1932. The only two women born in the whole country that have her name were either born in 1925 or 1928. This is a puzzle!!! Ah well. Also, he didn't know his father so again what I can track down is severely limited.
Anyway, today's photo shows these two main things - the script for the play and a record of my great-great-uncle who was killed during World War II. He was a Second Lieutenant.
Quote of the Day:
"Do you still think men love the way we do? No. Men enjoy the happiness they feel; we can only enjoy the happiness we give. They're not capable of devoting themselves exclusively to one person. So to hope to be made happy by love is a certain cause of grief." - Rosemonde (Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Christopher Hampton)
