Whether it's stewarding at a festival, writing for a magazine, or producing works of art, volunteering for creative projects is bound to get those juices flowing.

Wooooo, results day!

I had A Level results the other day. I went to another country for six weeks to escape the pre-exam day stress but I still caved and phoned my college at 11am. Got five As so I´m very relieved (and obviously, super-nerdy, lol)!

My results day celebrations were a little unconventional since I´m up here at the Fringe. Rather than going out with my close friends who are all in London, I first went to a pub called The Tron, near C Main, then went with two of my flat mates to a Masked Trance Workshop.

It was very cool - Belt Up!, the group running tons of cool shows in our Red Room, talked us through the experience of wearing masks and how they have their own personalities which come through when you wear them and all that kind of stuff.

The first one I wore was a white mask which had burn marks. I also found a white suit jacket, a strand of beads and a hat and just wandered around feeling creepy, violent and mean. Afterwards, one of the cast members came up to me and said when she wore it, she´d felt exactly the same.

There was also a mask they called Roger who collects sounds and one of the other participants, who didn´t know that, went around banging drums and being fascinated by the trumpet, etc.After that, we all went to the C Soco Urban Garden bar, then around 3am, I finally went to the Cabaret Bar at C Central so in the end, quite a normal Fringe night for me.

Tonight, I´m going with Lucy and Danni (two flatmates) to see Titus Andronicus and Apollo/Dionysus at C Main, so bye bye. :)

Oh, and I´ve completely lost my voice and have no idea why. I´m really susceptible to tonsilitis and throat infections though so I´m guessing its the latter.
