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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
