Two Thousand and Nine.

Well here we go, another soppy end-of-year blog. I know I'm going to miss a lot of stuff out of this, because I'm just thinking it up as I go along, but I'll include the important stuff at least.

I don't really know where to start. This has been a rollercoaster of a year. I guess one of the biggest changes was moving house. As nice as my old house was, I'm sort of glad to be out of it now. It wasn't exactly a happy house, a lot of stuff went wrong there. Plus this one has a pool and everything. That happened in May though, maybe I should go through this chronologically?

January... I can't remember much from January. Probably some parties went on... Oh yeah, one thing did happen, but I don't think I can mention that on here. Looking through photos there were a few parties that I went to, actually.

February... Also I don't remember much from this month. Except for a really soppy but really sweet valentines day... I still have the stuff from that actually. I also bought my wonderful iMac as well.

March... What the hell is wrong with me? I can't remember a thing. See this is why I should have started this a while ago and just added to it. I sang in a concert.

April was more eventful. To start off, I got so very very drunk at a friend's party and ended up passing out and throwing up and bleugh. I haven't been able to drink vodka ever since. Or any kind of spirit really... There was my birthday as well. I didn't get so drunk then. But I was taken to see Les Miserables, which was amazing. My party was quite eventful. Sheep riding, angry farmers, getting into mouldy water, replacing Mikey's vodka with water... Oh it was interesting.

May was good. Went to Oxford, had a fun weekend at Ryan's, moved house. I think the majority of what's happened since May is on this blog anyways. So I'll skip to stuff I don't think I've mentioned.

I've made a lot of new friends this year, and I've lost a few that were really good, mainly the people from Langley. I don't know if any of those guys read this thing, but I miss you lot!

While this year's been pretty good, recently I've gotten a lot more stressed. School work and other things just got the better of me I guess. Man, I really don't know what to write.

This year's been really good, and I want next year to be even better. I know any problems that I have right now aren't just gonna disappear at the stroke of midnight, but I hope I can sort them out as soon as possible.

Aspirations for next year? Get into the university that I want to, get a grade in singing, and have a fucking awesome summer.

The Observant British Public

Wasn't today fabulous? Snow! Anyone else notice how snow makes it a billion times harder to walk in? Today was rather dull. I guess I could have done a lot more with it haha. It does make me wonder why the news tells stories of disruption due to snow as if it's NEVER happened before. More to the point, how are we so unprepared? In the grand scheme of things, the amount of snow we had here was pathetic. 20cm? Try 20 inches, then you're allowed to get disrupted so much.

Needless to say, my driving test was cancelled today. So they're sending me a new date in the post, hooray.

I've started reading again, and I managed to finish The Picture of Dorian Gray. What a strange book. Really really odd. Nothing much happens for half of it, then all of a sudden EVERYTHING kicks off. It's crazy, but pretty good if I do say so.

This is how bored I am.

Sayonara.

A Whole Bunch of Fun.

Coursework. Coursework. Coursework. Coursework. Coursework. Coursework. That is my life right now. Maybe food can be put in there if it's REALLY necessary, but other than that, it's coursework. So nice of my school to give me a relaxing end of term isn't it.

Now here's something to talk about. It's wonderful, it's magical. It happens once a year. Maybe even twice of you're lucky. You've guessed it. Snow. Settling snow, to be precise. The amount of happiness it brings to children is amazing, the amount of dread it fills adults with is just... weird. So what if you have to drive in it? Don't drive. Which reminds me, my test is on Friday and it's meant to snow. I have to drive in snow. Whaaat :(

The amount of fuss over snow though. America get 4 foot of it sometimes and still manage to get on alright, and we sit here and rejoice/cry (delete as appropriate to age) over 4 inches of the stuff. Nothing can happen when it snows, purely because we're unprepared. Useless aren't we.

Some of the more observant of you will have noticed a link below my hit counter. Check it out and leave a question and I'll answer it. Cool? Cool.

Sayonara

UCAS!

It's been sent off! And I have an acknowledgement from York. Yay! Even though I don't really wanna go there. But oh well. It's all coming together. Apart from Music coursework. There is so much of it to do. o_o

Sayonara

Forgot

There WAS something that I was gonna moan about tonight, but I can't remember now. Ah well.

Maybe it was the supposed attitude problem I have. It frustrates me because I don't even know I'm being nasty or whatever. Hmm.

Merry December!

In the spirit of all things festive, I've put a poll up which is entirely relevant to all things December. Vote please. :)

Rob (is awesome)

Dear faithful blog readers,

Today, this blog shall be conducted by none other than Robert Coveney (who is absolutely awesome.. as the title suggests?) As you know, Daniel has a lovely musical scholarship, and today, he performed and it was amazing! He was obviously the best there (haha!) excluding the fabulous [Insert name here]. I am currently at his house utilising  his Mac computer (Oh Sophie will be pleased that I am using a Mac..) Anyhow.

So this is a basically Dan telling me to write a blog instead of him, so here is my blog I guess? I'll start with a short rant.. this morning some lovely fellow who, I mention, have no idea who he is (because he's just so well known), decided to send me a lovely email over Facebook. Gosh! No. He was a loser if you didn't pick up on the subtle sarcasm. And very rude for someone I don't know.. silly [insert rude adjective here].

Moreover, the Trinity concert was really great fun. I looked around the room when someone walked in late and was shocked to see my friend Emily, who looked at me in total shock and confusion as to why I was there (as did I for her!), then she was seated and giggling. It was a lovely night, though I am shattered (to say the least). Paul Jennings was smelly, and kept flirting with Dan, it made me LOLJOKES!

Anyhow, to conclude, I am now sleeping round Mr Partridge's house. He is upset because he wanted to eat KFC and his parents said: NO ROBERT IS A VEGETARIAN. And following this I apologised for the fact I was vegetarian, hehe, how awesome am I? Obviously some amount. Tonight is going to be lovely, because I have decided it will be. And also, Dan is here, and that makes me happy. I sound like such a loser! SO I shall stop writing this blog for him now.

Adios and pleasant tidings from Robert at some time that I can't see

(Ignore the thing below this saying it was Dan, because he's tired =])

Life Lesson III

According to my english teacher:

1. Black is the opposite of joy.
2. 7 is the number of completion.

Oh the things you learn. This is meant to be a grammar school for goodness sake.

We wrote some more poetry today, no doubt you might hear a select few. Just because it's that interesting.

It's a fine art, I'll admit, but I think we've hit the nail on the head with these Haiku. Aren't they just fantastic?

Sayonara

Amuse

You know what I find rather fun? When people insist on singing along to an entire song on the radio, even though they do not know a single word (or very few words at most), and try to cover it up. In doing so, they seem to lose any sense of a melody line. The resulting mess is what sounds very much like a zombie hungry for 3 or more brains. The best ever instance of this I have ever witnessed this would have to be the time on Top of the Pops. Robbie Williams was on, and he went to the audience and bent down next to a woman, so they were both in shot together. She tried to sing the words (you couldn't hear her), but you could see she was singing something about boats whilst he was singing about radios. It was good.

I sent my UCAS off today. Hooray.

Sayonara

Fireworks

I went to see some fireworks last night. It was fun, I ended up advertising Cinderella.

Nothing interesing's happened really. I just got mega stressed for no reason. It's really irritating me that things are wrong with me yet no one knows exactly what these things are.

Sayonara.

Hello again

So, I didn't really follow through with the whole writing things down. Jeez, I suck. On another note, I have slaved away for months at this piece of music, and I think it's finally finished. LISTEN TO IT. PLEASE? And let me know what you think of it. Cheers lovelies.

Half term has started out very average. Today has been so boring. Nothing has been accomplished, not even a kilogram of the ton of homework I've been set to do over this short week. Sigh, I'm gonna be screwed when I go back. Oh well.

Also, the new Facebook layout seems to have sparked a lot of people's hatred for change. It's the same every time. When it updated last time, people were not happy, but they forgot about it within 2 weeks. When Myspace updated... I don't remember what happened. But I don't think people were too happy. When Last.fm updated, people were angry, but they soon forgot about it. I don't know what my point is here. I moan just as much as these people do, but about different things.

Sayonara

Another Thing

I have had a good idea, sort of. I'm going to write down all of my ponderings, hopefully, and when it comes to writing this I shall use these musings as topics. I say this because I always think of good things to talk about during the week, but when it comes to the end of the week I have completely forgotten what I was going to write about.

Anyone fancy doing my Japanese exam for me tomorrow?

Sayonara (haha irony)

I guess not!

So, I'm gonna change that pledge. At least once a week. That oughta do. That way I'll have more stuff to talk about rather than random little blogs throughout the week.

This is one for all the music geeks out there. Maybe some of you not-so-cool people can relate as well. Listen to this:

It recently occurred to me that someone had to have written this piece of music. I was completely freakin' gobsmacked when I found out it was part of a requiem (I was shocked it was even part of a requiem, but I don't really listen to them. The Latin actually means 'Day of Wrath' I think) written by Verdi, who I didn't really listen to before. But now I have some serious respect for this guy. He was a composer and a half.

Sorry for being a geek :D

Sayonara.

New Pledge

I will strive to make a blog update at least every other day from now on.

That is all.

Sayonara.

2 In a Row

Well, people thought that the worst thing about September was the 'Summer's Over' feeling, though I think windy days are worse. Anyways, I'm gonna put a new poll up soon. Idk what about though.

I think I need to come up with things to moan about. Did you know that swine flu can't be eliminated by antibacterial gel? Because it's a virus, not a bacteria. Sucks to all those who thought they could avoid it with antibacterial gel, because you can't. Sorry. Wahaha. Just keep away from pigs and people who look like pigs. You should be okay. If you do get it, it's a very good excuse to not go to work or school. I don't see why people are so worried, hardly anyone died from it.

Sayonara.

Oh October

This month sure did creep up on us. I only have a couple of things to say. I hate the irony in the action if someone telling you you're selfish because you didn't do something for them, and I love my saxophone lessons.


Sayonara.

Poll

This rather silly to post, but if you haven't already please vote on my little poll thing I've got going on over there. It wont take long, and it closes in 20 hours haha. Fantastic.

Oh yeah, major pissed-off-age. I don't think i posted about this, but my saxophone was damaged. So it had to get sent back to the company who sent me a replacement. How kind of them. What was rather unkind of them, however, was to send me yet ANOTHER damaged saxophone. It's really quite lame, because I can't practice at all without a saxophone, quite obviously. So I'm rather annoyed at the moment, because I really wanna get practicing...

On a very happy note, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Brand New's new album Daisy. It's just so... yay. Everything about it I love. Though they seem to have lost some of the harmonic intricacies that they used in their last album, it's still a very very VERY good, thought provoking and atmospheric listen. Nicely done, guys. Major love for Jesse and his lyrical genius.

Sayonara

Long Time Gone

This blog is getting seriously neglected, and I'm truly sorry. I'm sure people are just as busy as I am, so it's not really getting read, but I think I should update this more often than I have recently.

It's nearly the end of September. That means that the weather will do nothing but get colder, even though we've had better weather this past week than we had all summer. Takes the piss that does. School also takes the piss. "Here, you don't need to live properly, do you? Have so much work that it will make you collapse." Erghhhh I am going to struggle so hard this year. I've already been given more work than I have ever received in my life, especially in Japanese. I swear the amount of work we do in Japanese should be the amount of work we do in all subjects collectively. Blah blah blah.

Trinity is awesome. I love it. Yay.

Sayonara.

4 Days

I'm sorry I haven't been on here much, but I have been kinda busy with all sorts of stuff. First, a brief rant.

Why can't things just... be right? My saxophone came as I said, but as it turns out it's broken. One of the keys sticks down when pressed. We think it was damaged in transit. One of the little rods has come out of a little saddle thing, and blaagh. Why couldn't it just arrive right! Silly thing. And why can't things like essays be right the first time? It would take up SO much less time than it usually does. SO much. I guess it's all part of the fun of life! Yay!

Eurgh, school is so hectic. Stupid fucking IB.

Sayonara.

Not dead, just resting...

Yeah I'm stuck on the M25 right now. On the way back from Bristol Uni. It's a great place, now my first choice.

Ah the delays have stopped now. Anyway, I have my sax now and I can make a decent noise from it.

My phone's low on battery, so laters.

Sayonara.

Fatigued

School is so draining. I'm enjoying tonight though, as I have very little work to do tomorrow and I can just rest. And rest I bloody well shall. It's the least I deserve I think.

What can I say about today? Nothing really. Dull as ever. I'm anticipating Muse's new album though. Got it dowloading as we speak. I'm laid on my bed as well as I'm writing this. God I love this phone. So so muchhhh! I can tell that this week is gonna get harder and harder. The weekend will be good though. Music college, TGIs, and a party. Then hopefully some movie times with someone :)))) hehe.

That's all folks.

Sayonara.

Sure, why not?

I'm on my iPhone again. I'm only writing this for the sake of it. Haha. I'm so cold, my feet feel like blocks of ice.

I know I've said this before (I think), but I'm really really looking forward to uni. I wanna go to Nottingham, and the entry requirements for music there aren't all that high, so hopefully I'll get in. I just can't wait to be completely independent and do whatever I want with my time. Right now all I do is work, and next week I'll be working 6 days a week. Like full days. Not coolllllll. I just wanna sleep and do nothing but music right now, but that's not going to happen. Ah well, life goes on.

I'm always tired now as well, I don't sleep half as much as I'd like to. No more lay ins for me as well now, cos I have to work all the time. Maybe I should stop moaning about it. Just get on with it I think. Yeah.

That's enough crap from me.

Sayonara.

New levels of Awesome

Guess what? My iPhone came. Guess where I'm writing this from? That's right, my beautiful iPhone. Right now, the only bad thing about it is that it doesn't play flash stuff. That, and the fact that I can't put the bloody thing down! I'm at risk of becoming even more antisocial. Ah well. The 3G on this phone works better than some of the wi-fi networks in bluewater.

Next week I start back at trinity, and today I realised that it means my weekens won't start until 5.40 every saturday. FML. It'll be worth it though. Saxophone lessons, yes please.

Ahh this takes so long on my iPhone. I still love it thoughhhh haha.

Sayonara.

Musical Tastes

It appears my ears have had a sudden like for bands who like to scream, grunt and make loud noises whilst the guitars chugachugachugatremelo underneath. I'm not complaining. Just a suggestion, but if you like that kinda music then take a look at these guys. If you live near me then they're a local band that make hardcore type music, and if you don't live near me they're a band from Kent (mostly), and I must say they are one of the best local bands I know. A couple of their songs they've put up for everyone to download here, and their EP is only £4. I urge you to buy it, k. They're great. They're not paying me for this btw, I just think that they deserve some more notice.

On an unrelated topic, school is dumb and busy. Too much stuff going on there right now. I have a headache from it all. And of all things, they have set mock exams on an INSET DAY. Trust my school to do that. Stupidddd.

Back to music. I am SO SO SO excited for Brand New's new album. Like REALLY. It's going to be so good. I also discovered the other day that The Devil Wears Prada and Drop Dead, Gorgeous have new albums out. They're both pretty good in my opinion. Me likes.

I GET MY IPHONE TOMORROW, AND I START TRINITY IN ABOUT... 10 DAYS? YES, LIFE IS GOOD. WAHA.

Sayonara

Something New

I walked home at 5.30am this morning. That was fun. Nobody else was around. It was really really calm. I walked through the little meadow and there were rabbits all over the place. They ran from me, bless them. So I got in this morning at about 6 and slept until 3. Now I'm attempting to start some Japanese homework, but I have no idea what it is really. So I'm struggling a bit. Ah well.

Yet again I witnessed an incident of 14/15 year olds being unable to handle their drink. Ohhhh boy was it embarrassing to watch. I hope they're very unpopular tomorrow in school, because they were just mergh.

Sayonara

Please mark THREE out of the following answers...

So, I passed my driving theory test today. 43 out of 50 for the questions, and 54 out of 75 for hazard perception. Managed to score 5 points on 3 of those. Woo :))))). Now all I need to do is book some more driving lessons and take my test. Ahhh! What fun.

I finally got my Trinity timetable. Saturdays from 9-5.10 now. Quite a difference to last year. But it's gonna be fun, because I got my saxophone lessons. I need to hire a saxophone now. Ahh I'm really looking forward to it :D

Sayonara

Studystudystudy

I'm gonna be doing a lot of work this year. I can feel it. This'll mean less posts from me. Not that they were too frequent to begin with, but you know, they'll be less frequent. And they will probably just be a rant about how impossible my chemistry work is. Ah that reminds me, I need to do some chemistry work.

Today was good, but strange. It didn't feel like a first day back.

Sayonara

September

How depressing. Summer is well and truly over with. The days are going to get shorter (and filled with homework, coursework, university applications, music exam practice, saxophone renting, and possible depression) and colder, but not colder quite yet. Hey look, a plus! There are a few things to look forward to though. First is my THEORY TEST ON FRIDAY. Oh the joy. I haven't really studied for it. Haha what a shame. Then I have a couple of parties at the weekend, which is more parties than I've been to all summer. How depressing is that?

I have 9 months left of school. Nine. Nine months of stress and revision and learning new things and getting better at old things and losing homework and getting shouted at. Nine months of not seeing my friends. Nine more months of being 17 though. Yes. By the end of May I will be 18 with a job to save up for Reading (yes I am going next year) and Uni and hopefully by the beginning of July I will have a place at Nottingham or Bristol University. Then 4 months of doing nothing but working and and doing things I can do because I will be 18. Ahh.

Another thing to look forward to this month is the amount of new albums coming out. The Used's new album came out today and I need to get that. But there's also Brand New's new album coming out, and this is probably my most anticipated album ever. I hope it's good, I really do. Then there's Muse's new album, which I'm slightly less optimistic about, purely because they've gone downhill generally since The Origin of Symmetry. I swear there were more albums than this, but no doubt I'll come across them soon enough.

Also, in keeping with the theme, I've added a new poll. The old one revealed that wasps were the most pointless thing, with 70% of the votes!

Well what an impressive, slightly lengthy entry.

Life Lesson II

- Never take your toilet for granted. After about a month of one working bathroom in this house, I'm about to explode from frustration.

Thankfully, the water in the bathroom next to my room is now back, so we finally have a proper bathroom in this house and there will be no blood and guts to clear up from the explosion. The toilet wasn't too bad because we could fill the thing up so we could flush it. But everyone is so lazy in this house, so it rarely happened. The stench of 4 days worth of pee is horrific. Avoid it as much as possible. Hopefully I'll never have to smell it again in my life.

I can't believe I've been reduced to talking about a TOILET. Get me a life.

Sayonara

Pre-School Blues

I'm guessing that 99% of the population of those not going to Reading are bummed about returning to school in a week or two, depending on the school - a week if it's my school, two for every other school. In any case, no-one wants to go back. I don't want to for a lot of reasons. There's going to be a lot to think about next year. University applications, coursework for everything, Music stuff including grades and Trinity, keeping sane, seeing my friends, earning money when I have to focus on school and music college 6 days a week... Lots of stuff to do. Not cool at all. I guess I'll stay busy. Too busy if you ask me.

I went to King's College London today as well. It's such a great place, and it's in the middle of London and close to pretty much everything there. There are two problems though. The first one is that the accommodation isn't all that good there. It's very expensive for what it is, and Nottingham's rooms were much nicer. Also, because it's a city university and not a campus one, all of the residential halls are a commute away from the actual building. The second problem is that there is not a hope in hell that I will get the qualifications I need to get into it by the time I submit my UCAS application. Not a hope in HELL. 38 points, Grade 8 first study and Grade 5 piano. No, not happening. SORRY. But it's in such a nice place! Aghh, decisions!

I'm going to miss summer.

Sayonara

Desserts etc.

I spent today making and remaking some éclairs. The first time I messed them up straight away, but when I got them right they tasted veeeeeery nice. They're in the fridge right now, and they have proven very popular with my family so far haha. They do taste very nice if I may say so myself.

Apple want me to pay £79 for me to update Logic Express 8 to Logic Express 9. I wish I had the money, cos it looks so awesome. But oh well, I'll find the money soon enough.

There's not much else to say really. 'Cept my sister made some cupcakes today as well, and they are delish.

Poll

I added one.

Another Bug Rant

Recently, wasps seem to have some sort of obsession with my room. They like to fly in through my window and even though they try very hard to get out because they realise how bad it smells in here, they can't. Why? Because they're STUPID. Stupid wasps with no point on this planet whatsoever. The worst part is that I can't really close my windows because it's so warm in here. Oh I just can't win :(

Brb driving and Nandos!

Sayonara.

Early Rise

See this is why I don't get up early. I have nothing to do all day usually, so getting up early usually prolongs the whole doing nothing, and I end up getting more and more bored. I guess I should find things to do rather than complaining about how there's nothing to do...

I would go outside today, but the tree man is back, chopping down the rest of the trees. Bark and chainsaws everywhere. So even though it's a nice day out there, I can't go out there until he's left. quite lame really.

Went driving yesterday. I didn't stall. WAHEY.

And into the face of every criminal strapped firmly to a chair, we must stare, we must stare, we must stare

-Bright Eyes

Nothing Again

I have no idea what to tell you. Here're some lyrics:

Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face

The kind you'd find on someone that could save

If they don't put me away

It’ll be a miracle

Do you believe you're missing out?

That everything good is happening somewhere else

But with nobody in your bed

The night is hard to get through

And I will die all alone

And when I arrive I won’t know anyone

Well, Jesus Christ, I’m alone again

So what did you do those three days you were dead?

Because this problem's gonna last

More than the weekend

Well, Jesus Christ I’m not scared to die

I’m a little bit scared of what comes after

Do I get the gold chariot

Do I float through the ceiling

Do I divide and fall apart

Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark

This ship went down in sight of land

And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?

I know you'll come in the night like a thief

But I’ve had some time alone to hone my lying technique

I know you think that I’m someone you can trust

But I’m scared I’ll get scared and I swear I’ll try to nail you back up

(everyone now)

So do you think that we could work out a psalm

So I’ll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try

I know you'll come for the people like me

But we all got wood and nails,

And talk dirt at hating factories

But, we all got wood and nails

And talk dirt at hating factories

Yeah, we all got wood and nails

And we sleep inside of this machine

Jesus Christ - Brand New

Here's one

I don't know if I've moaned about this on here before, but you're gonna read me ranting about it anyway...

Now, I think that I'm a very socially inept person. Usually when people talk to me in real life, like pass me and say hi suddenly, all that comes out is 'Mbhrehajf?!', so I usually don't say anything and smile/make a strange face. Ironically, this way I won't make a fool of myself. This is not only a problem in real life, but on MSN as well. I mean of course I don't say 'Mbhrehajf?!' when someone says hi to me on MSN, because my brain actually has time to recognise the fact that someone is actually socialising with me. In real life, my mouth moves faster than my brain and shit pours out. But the problem on MSN is that I cannot keep a conversation going for the life of me. People say things and I usually reply with some sort of emoticon or acronym, and the conversation dies. Then people comment on this, saying 'you don't really talk much, do you?' or 'say something!', and I reply, telling them why I don't talk so much. This is the bit that irritates me. The cynicism of society leads them to believe that I am lying and just don't want to talk to them. They don't tell me they think I'm lying, they just give tell-tale signs like 'oh, okay. i won't talk to you anymore then,'. Then I say 'you think i'm lying, don't you?' and I get pissed off.

I know it's kinda rude to not talk to people (not that I don't make the effort - I do sometimes try to make conversation), but I think it's much more rude to accuse someone you've just started to talk to of lying. Who's with me on this/has the same problem?

Driving

I went out in the car with my granddad today. Now, I'm not perfect at driving, but I'm good enough to drive around with very little supervision. However my granddad seems to get very stressed at me sometimes. The bloody breaks on his car are rather pathetic... so it's hard to stop quickly. Arghh it's kinda stressful but I'll get it done. Hopefully.

Haha, Come Dine With Me is one of the funniest shows on television! Fuck my, ridiculous! So middle class it's funny.

That's that for now... I don't know what to say.

Graphic

I have nothing to say, so here's some pictures of my day! That was so poetic...

Nikki being cool.

Nikki and Danyelly being normal. Seriously.

Danyelly being pretty.

Nikki being artistic.

Wasn't that fantastic?

Continuous Pain

That insect bite still hurts. It's itching. From this day on I declare myself an official insect hater. Because insects are shit. And scary. Especially moths. I don't know a single person who doesn't find moths unpleasant. The bigger they get, the worse they are. When they have faces though, that's it for me. I freak out.

Haha I'm sick of pervy guys. They're so horrible. I think I'll leave this topic alone for now... Too much I could say on it.

Ohhh, my grandad put me on his car insurance so I can now drive it. He's gotta be in the car as well cuz I'm on my provisional license but it's all good practice. I'm going out in it later today. S'gonna be fun :D

Er yah I think that's all I have to say.

Biting Ants

I won't bore you about my weekend, but I will offer you some advice based on my experiences of Friday and Saturday.

• Sleep the night before you go to Thorpe Park. Silly as it sounds, this is a very valuable piece of information. After not sleeping before Thorpe Park on Friday night, I would know. You seem to walk around it in some kind of dream state. The rides are a lot less thrilling as well, cuz just feels like you're in a dream flying.
• Don't ever get bitten by ants, because it fucking hurts. I got bitten last night at Sophie's party, and I'm still in pain.
• Try to get more than 3 hours sleep in a space of 48 hours. For the love of God, trust me on this one.
• It doesn't matter if it's summer, it still gets fucking cold at night.
• Do not get drunk with 14  year olds. Ever. It's a bad idea. They can't handle their drink obviously. 3 WKDs and they're on the floor giggling to themselves about how they've never been this drunk before. It's a sad sight to see. Avoid at all costs.
• Play the 'Inappropriate Game' at parties. This one's good. Find the the person who it is most inappropriate for you to hit on. This is best played in small groups of best friends. For example, an inappropriate person for person A to hit on would be person Bs younger brother, providing A and B were best friends. Even if they weren't best friends, it's still pretty inappropriate.
• One more thing - try to avoid nannying drunks at parties. Especially the kind that have their friend with them who fancies them so much but has no idea how to deal with drunks at all. It's not fun.

It was a good weekend.

Humidity

SO. WARM. No sun, but SO. WARM. It smells real nice outside though, cos people are cutting grass. Makes a change I guess.

Erghhh I need to learn about Romantic tonality. I have no idea how it works, it's just so random. But I will become a master of it... one day.

Nothing to write about again. How lame.

Sayonara

Post No. 50

Who would have thought I would have made 50 posts on this blog? I certainly didn't. I thought I'd get bored of it. But I haven't. How amazing.

You know what I am bored of though? This stupid weather. Why can't it just stay nice? I don't get it. So lame.

Now I'm gonna try to get some music noticed. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Sayonara.

Facestings

I love the beach. I realised that the only other place I would REALLY like to live in apart from London would be by the coast. It's so nice there.

Hastings is one of the places I'd like to live. I went there today. It's like two worlds in one town. You have old Hastings which is lovely and full of beautiful quaint little cottages and old shops and wooden shack sort of things. It's so peaceful and scenic. Then just one road away is the Hastings seafront, which is full of absolutely everything. It's so busy and packed and loud. It's great. There's also a part on the outside of Hastings which is just like any other town with a great big park in the middle of it and a high street full of shops.

After my trip there today though, I've been left windswept, burnt and tired. But I'm only tired because I didn't go to sleep until roughly 6.30am this morning. Hehe. Woops.

It was nice to get away a from this house for now. We don't even have a proper bathroom right now. Blergh.

That's enough from me.

Les Misérables 2

I went to see Les Mis again last night. I nearly cried 10 times. How ridiculous is that. :D

I've done nothing else all week. Nothing. It's so depressing.

Escaping Nomanisan

I can't stand the sound of power tools any longer. The builders are gone, but now my dad is at it, drilling holes in things and sawing up pieces of wood...

And if it's not him, it's the tree men with their chainsaws and chippers. I actually have a dull headache from it all.

On the bright side, I'm listening to Michael Giacchino soundtracks. He certainly knows how to use the brass section. He is so awesome, I wanna compose for movies when I'm older. That would be the best job ever; difficult, but fantastic.

I still haven't been to a party. :(

Sayonara.

SIXTY-FOARRR

I unpacked my Wii finally the other day. Oh how I've missed it. Time for Wii Fit and Super Smash Brothers Brawl. I love that game so much, it's so awesome. Where else could you see Pikachu fuck up Zelda? Amazing.

You know what's bad about this summer? The weather. It's hardly summer, there's too much wind. Not fun. Oh yeah, and no-one's doing anything at all, ever. I have no plans today or tomorrow. So lame. So so SO lame.

Anyone got any ideas regarding what I can write about? I'm running out of things, and I really don't want to resort to writing about my day. Oh, also I have just seen the most appalling advert ever. Such terrible acting.

13 Years

My goldfish died today. I got him when I was four. He was like a shark in the end haha.

I don't like being on my own, it gets me all sad :(

Life Lesson I

Sitting in the garden with 3 good friends whilst munching BBQ food and catching some rays is MUCH better and probably more worthwhile than partying with some randomers who get so ridiculously drunk that they end up throwing up on you and then passing out in your lap.

I still wanna go to a party though.

Please, someone give me more things to write about?

Sayonara.

Tension

Every single fucking morning this holiday I've been woken by the fucking builders doing shit to my kitchen and whatever. Fucking fuck fuck. The house was fine as it was. FUCK.

Sayonara.

Mood

I'm in a bad one. God knows why. Don't you hate that?

EDIT: I figured it out. It's the internet/MSN/IM generation. Fucking technology. It's all just words now, no meaning at all. You can spurt as much shit as you like and anyone will believe you. Just mergh.

Whatever.

Sayonara.

Chain

I don't wanna break the 'I've updated this every day for the past few days' chain, so here is a pointless blog.

Don't you find it funny how people complain about it not being the summer holidays yet, and then when it get to the summer holidays, all the do is moan that it's boing? MEGA LULZ.

Sayonara.

Act of Kindness

Yesterday, when I got on the bus, the man just gave me a child fare. I didn't ask him to. I just said 'Return to Bluewater, please', and he said 'Okay, half return to Bluewater... £2.85 please!'

God bless Arriva bus. No matter how crap your service is, you can never have enough senile old men running the busses.

Musical Inventiveness... is that a word?

I made a pretty piano song.

Pokémon update? Why not!

So basically, I've defeated Giovanni in the secret hideout underneath the Game Corner, and got the scope thing that lets you see pokémon in the tower in Lavender Town. He didn't even put up a good fight. My Venusaur raped them completely. Speaking of rape, I came across a Lvl. 31 Dugtrio in the Digglett Tunnel and it got nasty. Nearly ended up dying, because my party weren't particularly strong.

My pokédex is looking pretty poor too. I think I have 23. But I haven't caught pokémon that you get at higher levels later on in the game like Zubat, Geodude, Rattata... Mainly because I can't be bothered to level them up enough from low levels, cuz let's face it, Zubat are shit.

Party? Party!

Pikachu: Lvl. 35

Attacks: Thunderbolt, Slam, Agility, Shock Wave

Gloom: Lvl. 24

Attacks: Sweet Scent, Poisonpowder, Bullet Seed, Acid

Venusaur: Lvl. 37

Attacks: Cut, Razor Leaf, Leech Seed, Giga Drain

Dugtrio: Lvl. 30

Attacks: Mud-Slap, Magnitude, Dig, Sand Tomb

Butterfree: Lvl. 27

Attacks: Aerial Ace, Whirlwind, Poisonpowder, Confusion

Pidgeotto: Lvl. 32

Attacks: Wing Attack, Whirlwind, Gust, Quick Attack

Haha, isn't this the most thrilling blog ever? I love my Pikachu :D

Sayonara

Summer, Man

It's summer finally.

I'm not going away. I hope to go out most days with my friends, cuz to be honest my summer last year was quite pants, simply because I was too lazy to go out anywhere.

My pokémon are coming along quite nicely. I can't remember off the top of my head what my party is exactly, but I DO know that I completely destroyed that Surge guy, cuz he's just lame, and my Pikachu is AWESUMMMMMM.

Sayonara

Metapod

This glorious pokémon. Look at it. Look how beautiful it is. It's a shame how lame it is, isn't it?

The wild ones only know harden, so they're a bitch to fight. And even when you level one up from a Caterpie so it has Tackle, it's attack stat is SO low that it takes so long for you to defeat the opposing pokémon, ESPECIALLY if the opposing pokémon is a Metapod.

NOT ONLY THAT, but Nintendo also had the cheek to make Metapod take FOREVER to level up. I mean it only takes 3 levels for it to become a Butterfree (which is kind of worth the wait), but it seems like 30 levels.

LOL you can see what my day's been spent doing. Downloading Pokémon Fire Red for my Mac and playing it. So far I have:

Bulbasaur: Lvl. 8

Pidgy: Lvl. 8

Pikachu: Lvl. 8

Metapod: Lvl. 7

I need to catch a Weedle. Screw the Rattata, I'll get a higher level one later on. They're shit anyways.

Looks like I've finally found something to talk about. Haha, lucky you.

Sayonara

What to write...?

I don't know.

Things are so busy, yet I'm bored. I'm never satisfied. Hah.

I can't wait til i have money and I'm in university. Yes please.

Sayonara.

Who's there?

All I can hear recently is BANG BANG KNOCK KNOCK HIT HIT SMASH SMASH. And it's going on underneath my room, so it's VERY loud.

I realised that people hate it when you face them with indecision, but my mum got decidedly wound up for a decidedly silly reason today. We need a new toilet seat, so she asked me 'What kind of toilet seat do you want?' I said I didn't care. After all, it's a toilet seat. The answer was greeted with frustration. In other words, I didn't give her an answer in black or white, and she hates grey.

How fantastic is that?

Go here. For fun. Please?

Stress

I have very much become a subject of... bullying, let's say, in my family, especially in the eyes of my mother. She's picking up on every little thing I'm doing, making it seem 10 times worse than it actually is and consequently getting me 10 times more wound up than before and making me feel 10 times worse than before. Apparently I have some huge attitude problem, but don't all teenagers?

Humph, if ALL teenagers have this 'problem', it clearly isn't a 'problem'. It's what's known as the norm.

11 Followers

How fantastic, 11 people are actually interested in my life! Or their lives are so terribly boring that they have nothing better to do than read this.

I shouldn't offend the people that take time to read this really. I'm sorry. I love you. Especially you.

Today, yesterday, Monday, Sunday, Saturday, and very possibly Friday were very very HOT. Like I-haven't-stopped-sweating-since-what-feels-like-a-month-ago hot. I'm not complaining, I love the weather when it's like this. The only downside is I sweat a lot.

I promised detailed blogs, but I'm afraid I can't deliver today, sorry guys.

Thank you to the 11 of you loyal fans. Cookies will be arranged. Nice cookies.

Extended Agony

A 4,000 word essay entitled:

To what extent are the compositional techniques of Arvo Pärt in ‘Silouans Song’ and Corelli in his Concerto Grosso ‘Christmas’ different?

Just letting you know I'm not dead. Yet.

Negligence

My apologies for not writing sooner, but stuff's been happening these past few days. Germany was bloody fantastic though.

Day 1: The trip out there.

A 12 hour coach journey may not sound like the best way to start a trip off for everyone, but it was the best trip in ever. I don't even know what made it good, just so much fun. We stopped off at one point and did this about 10 times:

We actually arrived in Hanau like 1 in the morning, so everyone was a bit tired. I tell you this, sitting in a left hand drive car and driving on the right hand side of the road is one of the most surreal experiences ever. AND Germany is SO clean. Like, MONICA CLEAN. My German family took me to their house and told me I had my own flat upstairs, complete with kitchen! They also found it very funny that I liked coffee. My room looked like this:

That's my mess by the way, it was very clean when I got there. When I arrived, I slept.

Day 2: Concert Day!

Well, first of all there was breakfast, which was very nice, though apparently I eat very little in relation to the amount that German people eat. And EVERYONE'S family packed such HUGE lunches for them. Like stupid amounts of food, as if we'd never eaten in our lives ever. This day was so long though, everyone had to rehearse for the concert, and then everyone had to actually play in the concert. So i was awake at like 9 and at the school from 11 til half ten. Very long day indeed, but it was good nonetheless. One of the best concerts we've put on I'd say. Just before the concert, though, we went out into Hanau and a festival was going on. Lots of fun indeed. I had one of the best pizza's I've ever eaten in my life :D. Pictures from the rehersal? Okay!

Top to bottom - Orchestra, Choir, RnB Band, Doug having dressing room funtimes.

The hall we played to was amazing, so so big. We even got a standing ovation at the end! I went home after the concert, but I think other people went out partying!

Day 3: In Frankfurt

My family took me out to Frankfurt. Breakfast at 10. Lots of fun. Went to a film museum, saw a crazy asian man performing tricks in the town centre, went all around the town looking at all the different sights, saw a GIANT Euro sign, a rabbit, lots of tall buildings, lots of old and very pretty buildings, had some very delicious cake, went back to Hanau, had some very delicious pizza, went home, read about half my book, slept. I took lotssss of pictures on this day trip, including one of a Beer Bike! Wanna see?

Frankfurt Skyline

Big Euro!

Crazy Asian Man!

Mayor of Hanau's house

Old Frankfurt

Again, people seemed to have some crazy crazy times on this day.

Day 4: Homeward Bound... eventually.

We went on too many tours on this day. Blah. Roman Villa, Old Castle, Old Town... Aschaffenburg and Silegerstadt I think they were called. I managed to take lots of pictures though, and we got a lot of time to ourselves including:

We had Subway as well. Wonderful. Also, on the coach trip home, everyone was on such a high. Just a 4 hour long natural high, it was crazy. More pictures? Why ever not!

Silegerstadt

Romans!

Old Castle

Pillage and rape!

I was tired. Didn't sleep on the coach. CRY.

I dunno what else to say really. I was thinking about what to say in Germany, but now I have forgotten it all.

All in all, such a good time. I've been invited back by my partner, bless her.

Sayonara.

Germany

I am so looking forward to this trip to Hanau, but the thing is what do you do on a coach for 13 hours? I am going to go even more crazy than I already am.

When I get back on Tuesday, I will have a proper detailed blog about my trip, and this will be the last of my measly less-than-10-line entries.

Another thought - isn't it ironic that we wash things in water that becomes progressively dirtier, yet some of us will refuse to drink out of other peoples' bottles without wiping the top of it? No, just strange.

Random Wonderingment

What's the point of Cup-A-Soup? Surely if you wanted soup that much, you would just make a bowl of soup. Cup-A-Soup's taste crap anyway!

Anticipation

I can't wait for a number of things. In no particular order:

1. Music trip to Hanau
2. Passing my driving test and getting a car
3. Going to University
4. Finishing school completely
5. Finishing school this year
6. Saxophone lessons next year
7. Getting my iPhone
8. Finishing this book I'm reading...

Yeah. I have so much to look forward to. I have no idea why I was so pissed off yesterday then. Hah, oh well.

I'll write about more interesting stuff soon, I promise.

Sayonara.

Highly Strung

I'VE BEEN SO HOT ALL DAY AND SWEATING AND BLAH.

Fluorescence!

These pictures will never convey to you how much of a twat I looked at this party on Saturday night, but they give you a good idea. I did have fun there though, very good party.

There was something that made me think the other day... I think it was Sam saying that whenever I go over her house I simply 'eat her food, sweat in her bed and leave', and it made me think because that is pretty much what happens to everyone. For the sake of hospitality, people let others in their house, and what happens? These people that we let into our houses simply eat our food and piss off! Sure they're grateful, but what a way to be a friend! People are weird.
