It's so hard to update this on a daily basis!

Since... Monday I think, I have met a whole bunch of new cool people. Some of Sam's friends, who are totally insane but funny, and some of Luke's friends, who are just insanely funny. I didn't have any awkward moments around Luke's friends either. Like I usually try to make a funny, or talk, and everyone just shuts up and stares and I'm like '... *dies inside a bit*', but that didn't happen with Luke's friends. My funnies went down well! But whether they were pitying me or not is hard to say, as they were all actors...

I'd rather not dwell on that :)

So as you can see, this half term so far has been pretty awesome. I've met a whole load of people who I hope to see again and hopefully become friends with, and I've been out every day so far. All I need now is to go out tonight, but it looks as if there isn't much going on, so I guess I'm stuck in for the evening, being a loser on the internet or something...

Speaking of the internet, my granddad uses the internet. What a genius. It does take him a minute to type in what he's searching for in google, and it took him the same amount of time to write one sentence as it did for me to write the rest of the e-mail, but still, pretty good going! He's a G, he took me, my sister and her boyfriend out for Nando's today. :)

Oh and I had yet another wondrous driving lesson today. Needless to say I was amazing...

Back to one of my original thoughts though... who is gonna read this?

Irritating British Weather

Why can't England stay sunny for more than a day? It's totally not fair. I want to go in the pool!!

It's not even that. It's that everywhere else is sunny but here! LAME.

My weekend was so hectic. Spent pretty much a whole day at Trinity on Saturday for a concert. Totally not cool. I wanted to be home in the pool. But I got to go in it yesterday, so that's all good.

Every thing's kinda boring atm, and I hope the half term gets better. And is sunny. And I get a TAN :D

What else to write about... my 'eating less' thing kinda went balls up yesterday, but I'm back on track today. Speaking of food, I really need lunch.

Finally, society blows.

Eat Less, Move More

That is exactly what I'm going to do. Hopefully.

Today was very average again. I wish my life was more interesting. I learned about lots of goings-on from Czech-land over the few days the people went. They sure were fun.

I just realised that my exam results were pretty poor. They need to get me into a Uni. At least I'll probably get into Nottingham...

Oh, but tomorrow. Check this out, everyone gets to go home at lunch because of the lecture we had the other day. But I don't, because it coincided with a Philosophy lesson. So I have to wait until the end of school to go home. Not cool. And it means I need to do that essay.

I think that'll be it for now. So I sit here sipping on my cranberry juice bidding you a happy evening.

Curly Hair

Being lazy and not bothering with my hair was a big mistake this morning. It annoyed the hell out of me all day, but now my hair is all straightened and good.

So, the week I was absent... Well nothing much happened. I moved into my house, had no internet and managed to get a lot of work done as a consequence. I didn't like it to start off, cos my room was all over the place. But now it's all good.

I have a lovely new desk as well.

Though in amongst all this good must come some sorrow. I miss Mikey dearly! So much that I'm in fact dieting...

My day was far less than interesting.

1 Downs Valley

I finally have the internet guys. But with it comes an awful headache and a terrible stomach.

No detailed blog today. Gonna have to wait til tomorrow.

Reverberation

This picture pretty much sums up my day. Well actually it doesn't, but it plays a pretty big part. Mikey is leaving us. For a few weeks. He will be missed. Greatly missed. On the subject of school, I got a few exams back today. Philosophy I was pleased with cos I got second highest in the class, in maths I got the highest in the class on the 2nd paper, and in Chemistry... i got 19 out of 60. But we're all going to re-sit that exam hopefully, because our Chemistry teacher is lovely like that. Music lessons are back to normal, so that's all good. But it means getting a... public..... bus... *twitch*... home. I don't do 423 busses. Really really don't.

Tomorrow I move house. So now my room is empty. So empty that it in fact echoes now. There is dust everywhere. I am actually so shocked at how disgusting this room is. But I guess I have been in here for about 5 years now. I'm gonna get a new bed, a new desk and a new set of speakers when I move in. It's gonna be a double bed. OH, and I finally get my iPhone that I've wanted for only God knows how long.

So, Soulja Girl. She's a funny little thing, isn't she?

Some of the highlights would be her dancing down the train, confronting her rapist, and asking 'where ma doo-rag at?'. I wish there were more people in the world like her. It would be a better place... I think.

'The Outsider' by Camus... now that's a deep book. All about existentialism and how we are free to do whatever we want. We don't need purposes and stuff, and there doesn't need to be a reason for everything we do. Not everything is black and white, even though society seems to want either one or the other. Deep stuff.

I need to start reading Les Misérables again, because I've not had enough time recently with all this moving. It's a very good book as well.

That's it for now. I may not have internet for a few days because of the move and BT taking forever to transfer the line or something. Some shit like that.

Universe City

Today we all went to Canterbury to see Kent Uni and think about knowledge. It really wasn't as bad as I was expecting, cos the people there were quite cool. But Kent Uni looks like a prison. Sixties architecture is not all that in my opinion. There's not much to say about the day really, except terrorists = freedom fighters and vice versa. Totally not worth £20.

Again my school have decided that its not confusing enough to just change my music lesson once, so they have decided with all the kindness in their hearts that they're going to move it again. Oh the JOYS. As long as I get my Friday afternoons back I'll be okay.

I think I've chosen which Universities to go to, but not completely finalised them. I have ages to think about them really anyways, even though everyone says I don't.

So, something happy to write about. The sun. The good weather. Just general good times really. Made friends with some real nice people today. Should have got their facebooks really, but no matter.

It's stupid how tired school makes me. Look at my pretty doggie. Isn't she lovely?

"Are you gonna blog about this later? I am!"

Today was pretty mundane. Very little happened apart from the revelation of Ms. Jestico's little secret and the school deciding to move my music lessons to Fridays. Which is why I'm here right now.

I got alright marks in Japanese and English. I think I could have got more though.

I dunno why, but I was thinking on the coach about how people always notice things that aren't there rather than things that are. Like you go to a place, you recognise everything there, you take in every detail. But when you go there the next time, you realise something is missing first rather than the fact that everything else is normal. Like when you go somewhere to meet someone and you realise that they're not there rather than see what is. I think that that's why people are so negative sometimes - they see what they don't have rather than what they do have, when really they should look at what they do have. That's my way of thinking anyways. Don't even ask me where this came from haha.

It's just negative, and is kinda related to why kids hate school. Again, don't ask. At school, you're expected to do work, but the fact that there's almost a threat to you that if you don't do something certain, then you get punished. Here's what I think - focus more on 'If you do x, then you get y as a reward' rather than 'If you don't do x, then you get punished'. Something with a negative stimulus attached isn't going to be received well is it? Not all kids WANT good grades or see them as a reward, so you kinda need to play up to that a bit. 

God I think too much.

I think you should all go read Mikey's blog. It's full of weird and wonderful facts, and such a large imagination for such a small person.

My school are very disorganised sometimes. It was only today that I found out that they were going through with changing my music lesson to Friday. And it was only 30 minutes before the lesson this afternoon that I discovered the decision had been finalised. So that means changing my driving lessons now. Stupid stupid stupid. I don't know why they didn't spot this earlier in the year, when people hadn't already made plans on Friday afternoons. I mean what the hell. Now I have 4 lessons of Music on a Friday. Not complaining cos it's my favourite subject, but it's a bit excessive. That's 4 out of my 5 music lessons a week, the other being on Monday.

3 days until I move. It's gonna be gooooood man :D

Hmm, this blog is pretty depressing. I'll write about something happier tomorrow. That is if I can after my Theory of Knowledge trip. A whole day thinking about how we know, why we know, how we can trust our knowledge. Basically being proven wrong on everything you've ever thought in your life. That and it's very tedious.

Oh well, I'm sure something good will come from it... Maybe they'll decide to move my music lessons back to normal. Or not.

I need more things to write about.

Today is May Day. I wonder how many people remembered that...

My room is so empty now. I just finished packing up my room, and all that's left is my bed, chest of drawers, my Mac and my wardrobe. Oh, and the TV. I can't wait for Friday now. Gonna be in that pool so fast.

I was just thinking about all the fun times had in this house. But also all the stressy ones. Cos like, my dad lost his job and then we didn't have much money, so my parents were in debt pretty fast and yeah. And the fucking government. Oooooh the bastards. My dad worked all his life, payed all his taxes and I dunno. Something about "because he was on contract he was therefore seen as self-employed and no longer able to claim for benefits". Some shit like that. Don't get me started. The point is there are people slumming it out there out of choice so they can claim all sorts of benefits. Oh and Uni fees are totally unfair. They go by how much your PARENTS earn. That should have nothing to do with it, because when you're 18 you're seen as an adult, so you are basically your own person. So many double standards in this governments law. Not that the Torys or Lib Dems would change it for shit.

That picture up there is from Sophie and Lily's party way back in August, when we had to go as super-heroes or super-villains. I was told to come as Superman. It reminds me of the parties I had at this house. There was my birthday way back when I turned 15, then the Summer pool party. My 16th, the Breast Cancer Fundraiser, and more recently my 17th. Some were better than others... The Breast Cancer Fundraiser was one of the best days. Simply because it brought out the generosity in everyone. We earned something ridiculous like £1500, probably more. However, my 16th wasn't so good. It was right after my Nan died, and it was cold, and I don't think many people enjoyed themselves... I sure as hell didn't. I don't know if that's the case with all parties you throw though, because my 17th was so much better, but I didn't really enjoy that either.

In some ways I'm glad to leave this house, because we will have such a better life, but I'm gonna miss the memories. Ah well. Life goes on.

This year has been pretty damn good so far. Not really a low point as such yet. Kinda leaves me worried for the future, but that will be dealt with when it comes.

Time for a Pot Noodle. Enjoy the rest of your day off.

Samm and Dan vs. TFL

Hello guyyyyyyyyyys.

I've just had such a busy weekend, and I am absolutely shattered right now. But it was so so good, best in a while.

On Saturday I had to get up at like 8 so i could get to Oxford. Longgggg car journey and then a bus to the town centre. Seriously, Oxford is such a pretty place. Though this Open Day wasn't as good as I was expecting. I don't know if it was because I was tired or not, but I just couldn't get into the swing of it. And there were wayyyyyy loads of very posh private school kids there as well, so I'm not even sure Oxford is where I wanna go anymore, but we'll wait til the actual college and music open days. Not gonna go for the Choral Scholarship though. Too much.

So after a long day of sight-singing (and badly), another bus and car journey led me to Ryan's house. But it wasn't just Ryan's house. It was Ryan's house + 9380239 guests. 9380239 being like 4. But yeah, the point is that it was loud in that kitchen and full of smoke. I met Ryan's friend John for the first time and I have to say that he's pretty G. Just after I got to Ryan's, we went to buy some munchy stuff at Tesco's. Me and Samm spent £10.37. On crap. Good times these are. Then we just lounged about, bullied John, watched movies etc. Ryan was an old man and went to bed at like 12.30am, and everyone else fell asleep at like 4. Apart from Samm, who did not fall asleep. And I think John was up watching 'Porn Week' anyways. It was the funniest thing ever, cos Leah nearly farted in John's face when he was sleeping :D

Me eating a chocolate digestive, John dead on the trampoline.

Needless to say, I think we had 12 hours sleep between us, so we were all very tired today, and after a morning of sausage, bacon, chocolate digestives and Pepsi Max, me and Samm left Ryan's for what can only be described as one of the most needlessly painful journey I have ever been on. 2 crap ticket machines, one of which wanted me to pay £10.50 in banknotes only, and another that decided that my 'invalid' £5 not wasn't good. However, it had no problems in not giving me it back, and so it nearly got eaten by the machine. Bad times. Then the Circle line was shit, and the Victoria line was shut. So we went on some long trip to Earl's Court and changed tube there, only to be welcomed with announcements such as 'We apologise, but this train will terminate in 1 stop,' and 'WILL ALL PASSENGERS LEAVE THE STATION. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY...

...

...

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a test...'. Stupid thing. So we got to Victoria with like 10 minutes to go, and  nommed on a MacDonalds. And then the freakin' train that we rushed to get on went a different route to what it would normally, so I was like WHAT WHERE WHY HOW for the first half of the journey. Not cool.

All these events have led me here, to this blog. Writing again to nobody. Haha.

Dirty smokers

I guess I should put in some kind of controversial political view in here, but I really don't know what. I dunno.

I want to write a book. And compose.

I need to sleep, I'm rambling now.

El Primero.

My driving lesson was SO GOOD. Seriously. I managed to drive home about 3 or 4 miles. It was the sickest thing ever! My instructor says that  have good clutch control and I'm always good with my mirrors, but my hands ALWAYS cross when I turn. But he still said it was impressive :D

Good start to an even better weekend I'm thinking.

The weather is lovely again. I've been in my garden taking photos. I need to edit them yet, but some of them are pretty nice. I'm gonna miss this garden...

Oh they're edited now, that didn't take too long haha. There should be a picture of my sexy dog in here somewhere. She is the best dog in the world. If she were human, I'd marry her.

I had my last exams today - Music and Chemistry. Both were stupid hard. Especially chemistry. But nevermind, I'm sure everything will be good :)

We watched some 'God Delusion' thing in philosophy today. Now I'm an aetheist, but some of the self-indulgent bullshit that this Oxford Professor was trying to put forward angered me SO much. I don't see why people can't leave each other alone. This guy was trying to show religious people that, effectively, they were wrong because religion defied logic. Not everything needs to be explained by logic. I hate materialists such as this dumb guy. People should leave each other to be - freedom of speech and all that. He was pretty much saying that all religious people want to blow each other up. Stupid STUPID arrogant twat.

My political view for today... well I guess I just covered that. But this swine flu hype is a joke. Worse than the credit crunch hype. Eh, that's life.

What else... I don't know really.

Bring on the weekend :)
