Dear Diary,

It's nice to meet you, Diary. I've heard you're a great listener and that you don't mind people babbling on and on about their lives so here I go!

I've recently moved to London, into 221A Baker Street and so far it's been great; I met the neighbours who seem nice enough. One of them's famous! Well, not FAMOUS but he's been in the paper loads of times so that's famous in my book. (It's that Sherlock Holmes detective bloke.) I bumped into his assistant and we started talking and then he showed up and he's a bit weird. And by 'a bit weird' I mean the guys a nutcase. But an awesome nutcase! Nutcase in an interesting way, not a climb-in-through-your-bedroom-window-and-murder-you-with-a-knife way. Which is good.

AND I've made a friend. My first day in town and there I go running into people who turn out to be very nice! (Which I feel bad about - the running into people part. There should be places you can go and get a license for walking just so I can go there and fail spectacularly). Her name's Molly and she's very sweet! She's offered to help me out on becoming an actress by helping me make a mini-movie which I can send to agents and stuff. I really love her; she is a saint sent by the angels. Also, she has a crush on said famous detective bloke I mentioned before. Keeping my eye on that cos it's like being in one of those Gossip Girl type stories.

Tomorrow I have a big interview with Rose Harrison, the editor at a fashion magazine and I am STRESSING. Which is why I'm going to stop writing this rubbish that nobody's going to read so I can spend hours on picking an outfit.

Lots of love,
Kazza~

You're the one sent by angels! Thanks for being my friend, I really needed one that was a girl, you're amazing!
Love, Molly.

Dear Diary,

Today went brilliantly! I finally decided on an outfit, danced around the house to 'Pocket Full of Sunshine' to calm my nerves and then almost drowned myself in the shower.

My interviewer, Rose, was really nice! She offered me biscuits (who in their right mind refuses biscuits) and we held the interview like it was a normal conversation. Cracked a few joked and all in all it went smoothly. After the interview we had a quick photo shoot (this girl is a magazine editor, photographer AND make-up artist! I mean, wow!) and later that night we went out to dinner. It was a blast and I'm so glad we're friends.

Yesterday I made a friend and today again! If I'm adding a friend a day my social calendar is going to be packed this year! I hope Rose and I stay in touch. Molly, too.

I got the script for the audition and am currently engraving it into my mind while making funny faces into my mirror. Which probably doesn't help much. It's a science-fiction TV story and I really hope I get the part. Fingers crossed!

Love and jelly tots,
Kazza~

Dear Diary,

Today started out like any other; I woke up, dragged myself into the shower, drowned myself in coffee and all that. I thought that I'd go out for a bit of shopping, enviously admire the shoes in that Designer store across the street and THEN I GOT KIDNAPPED. I repeat; KIDNAPPED.

Not even kidding.

I only just got dressed when these two HUGE men showed up on my door and dragged me away to go and meet 'The British Government', as he calls himself. Hell of a power complex he's got going there. Swinging his umbrella around like he owns the place. (Which he probably does.)

He offered me a kind of job thingy, spying on Sherlock (the Detective-y bloke who's my neighbour - I mentioned him before). Apparently he'd give me enough money to start my own Modelling company (not that I'm planning to) and so what else could I do? I took him up on his offer. Wouldn't anyone? Probably not but I reaaaaaally want those shoes, okay?

I'm kind of a bit on edge since that was really weird and not everyone can say they've been kidnapped by the British Government who turns out to be a stalker of your semi-famous Consulting Detective neighbour. Typing like mad here. It might be the coffee.

I really hope this doesn't blow up in my face. Though it might. Again; STRESS.

Lots of love and anghst,
Kazza x

Dear Diary,

OMG SO MANY THINGS HAPPENED TODAY AND ASDFGHJKL

Calm now. Anyway, I went in for the audition I told you about, STRESSING but as soon as it began I felt a bit more confident, said my lines and even got a few laughs from the casting peeps. I thought it went well, anyway. So I leave and ON MY WAY HOME (not even half an hour later, guys) I get the call and I GOT THE ROLE! I can't believe it!

It's for a huge show, too. Doctor What. I play the Time Travellers companion and it looks just so awesome I can't wait to start! I'm apparently not allowed to tell anyone, which is bad cos I'll probably explode if I don't.

And that's the end of that.

And the OTHER thing that happened is that Sherlock got shot! I showed up at my house and he was bleeding and there was a bullet in his arm and all that stuff. I helped - of course I did! Even though he did try to poison me - but he was really reluctant to accept any help. Molly was there too and she at least took my side. Hoping Sherlock will recover soon.

Lots of love and excitement,
Kazza~

Dear Diary,

WOAH. What do you mean I haven't updated my diary in 17 days?! THIS IS SCANDAL.

Anyhoo, the reason I haven't updated is because I have been sooooo busy. With acting and blah-di-blah. But here are the highlights of the last seventeen days;

1 - I arrived at Baker Street and there was this little homeless girl outside the building and it was freezing. I said hello and couldn't help myself; I invited her in for food, a warm night's sleep, a shower and some new clothes. Her name is Amy (likevmy character! Amy Pond! How awesome is that?! It's pretty awesome). Amy was so humble and hugged me everytime I gave her something. When she found a twenty quid I hid (for her, it was a game we were playing) she was just so adorable and sweet and I could go on till the end of time. But I won't.

2 - I met Matt and some of the cast at a Doctor What readthrough. Matt is so funny and he's a fantastic actor. When I got there I was a bit (okay, a LOT.) stressed but after just a few lines with Matt and I was in the ZONE.

3 - After rehearsels today this sweet girl - Melody Valentine, that singer Steven hired for the backtrack - came over and complimented my acting! It was extremely flattering. Then Steven asked me to show the winner of a competition around the set and the kid, Josh, was a massive fun and just so adorable.

4 - I tried to go buy milk but there was this creepy paparazzi who kept following me and taking photos; I hid in Tescos. Also, crashed into a mountain of cereal boxes. I panicked, not wanting a photo of that on the interwebs, and picked up the boxes like a maniac. And then, Sherlock showed up! Out of all people. And he offered to actually HELP me. It was... Nice. Though, not going to expect that to happen ever again but it was nice.

And that's that! Also, found the WEIRDEST sites. Never googling my name again.

Lots of love and randomness,
KAZZA xxx
