Oopo

I unfortunately just timed having a big strong cup of coffee with the receiving of extremely exciting and rather surprising news: I will be going to LA and NEW YORK in September/October 2014 with some of my Interactive Composition friends (inc. Lewis)!!! I'm so excited and happy and just wow - it's not just like an average-joe trip either, it's tailor-made for composition students and we'll be doing all music stuff and visiting studios and schools and amazing..............I'm the only Gilligan gurl who hasn't been to America yet and this will be worth the wait! Urgh the coffee and this news has sent me hyper...

I actually opened up this blog post to talk about something else, which I guess I'll go onto now...the group of beautiful creatures that I went to Inca Roads with say this hilarious thing that just cracks me up every time: "Oopo." (Like, 'oops', but 'oopo'). I really like it and it makes me laugh so much because they use it so flippantly (someone's really drunk/on pills/the tent's broken/stepped in poo/forget to bring a toothbrush had to borrow one etc) I love it not only because it's A+ comedy but because it is so careless and I wish I could just like eat a packet of TimTams and just be like 'Oopo!' and that's that ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
