February 22nd

Ok, so I have to blog now, otherwise Anthony will make me dance to any song of his choice on Just Dance 2.

BRING IT.

So quickly, because I said I was going to bed about two hours ago:

Today, I went to my Nanna's and got mauled by a cat, who scratched my chin and ripped up my jeans. Nice.
Also today, I started making some YouTube covers before my camera ran out of battery. -___- So videos will have to be later this week! :)
Also also today, I discovered 4chan. Shortly afterwards I decided never to visit 4chan again.

IS THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU ANTHONY?!

Oooh! I also had a three way MSN conversation with Sarah and Anthony. Now for a phone conversation. Mwahahaha. >:)

A photo for today? Hmm...

It's a lime, bitch. Deal with it.

Oh, before I go - I HAVE LOST TWITTER FOLLOWERS.

What was it? Was it something I said? Am I generally just not an interesting person?

Don't answer that. Just follow me. @phoebejohanne.

PHALLUS WARS.

Ahem.

So today I went to Wokingham with Anthony, Alice and Zahrah which was IMMENSE FUN.

Antics included:

Taking Anthony round the whole of Wokingham because he had never been there before and it was funny because he had no idea. Thank you to Ellie for giving me the idea (Y)
Cafe Nero with Alice and Anthony
The new sweet shop which has just opened (IT'S AWESOME, GO. NOW. I COMMAND YOU)
Brown Bag. More coffee shops, yes. And big chats with Anty about stuff 'n' shit ^_^
THIS.

Then Anthony came back to my house where we watched Old Spice commercials and played Super Smash Bros Brawl and Just Dance 2.

BUT.

Isn't it nice to have a big long bitch about people to your best friend?

I say it is.

Good night ^_^ ♥

February 20th

Woohoo! 2000 views! ^_^

I've been neglecting my blog recently. It's been a bit difficult to keep it up. Plus I can never be bothered.

I HAVE DISCOVERED A NEW FAVORITE ARTIST. Don't worry, Nick, you're still up there in the top five :D

This is Sinéad Lohan. And this is her singing: To Ramona - Bob Dylan cover

She has the most sublime, emotive, wonderful, enchanting, relaxing, delectable, natural...I could go on and on. Best Irish accent ever. And where is she now? She hasn't done anything since 2001. This saddens me. It's a bit like Nick Drake, who only made three albums and that was all that it should have been. Go listen to her :D

I've decided I'm going to start doing some videos of music stuff, so if anyone has any requests, tweet me or leave a comment or Facebook me :)

And now I shall leave you to your rest.

Everything passes, everything changes.

February 16th

So, LEGGED it to the station this morning and caught the train on time. YES.
School was boring.
Bought myself some Reese's peanut butter and chocolate cupcakes to cheer myself up. These are LUSH. Buy them.
Found this piece on YouTube: this peice is leik awsum
Had a gig at Jagz which went ok.
Came home
SLEEP.

I asked her would she be me lass, and I'd take her out on Sunday,
To my delight, she says 'I might', Oh, me bonny Gateshead lass.

February 15th

SO. TIRED. BED. NOW. ♥

February 14th

Right, so, I ought to start writing this thing, oughtn't I?

Recently I've noticed I talk more like something out of a 19th Century fiction novel everyday. Maybe not out loud, but in my head I talk like I'm some confirmed bachelor living in a castle, riding a horse across some fields everyday. Maybe I keep my nymphomaniac wife in the attic too.

Today: Got to school late (again), Psychology (where she moved everyone round and made me giggle inside about her stupid haircut), English (satire and 'Oh! What A Lovely War' which I am now very tempted to go and buy now), Biology (more boredom. Something about Biology messes up my concentration span) and Music (where we got a dressing down from Stevo about work and stuff).

Not in the mood to write a proper blog.

February 13th - Defective Condoms

Blame Thomas. He's the one who said it.

So I didn't just watch the whole of Thomas' VLife #1 with the captions on...

Here are my favourites.

Black People

A Hypothetical Monday

Karaoke at 12. Be there or be square.

Democrats Say It

The Morning Booking Development Business

Portland, Oregon.

Is Portland in Oregon? I have no idea. Needless to say it amused me for quite a bit :D

Today I decided to give up on education and pursue a career in glassblowing. Is is sad that I actually went and researched courses in glassblowing?

Also today, I made a list of things to do this year:

So, expect to see all of these crossed off by the time it's 2012 :D

Yesterday, I had an awesome evening out with Harry at Nandos, where, we saw two people we knew and he very sneakily paid for half the meal. After I said that I was paying for all of it *fume*

But anyway, then we went to Krispy Kreme and got heart shaped doughnuts. In a totally unromantic way, of course.

Yup. That's it.

It's Valentine's Day tomorrow.

I can hear the vomiting already.

♥

January 10th - Egypt is Officially Fuming. And it's February. That's twice I've done this now.

Wow. So. Mubarak's speech? *facepalm*

So he's handing most of the power over to his vice-president. Big deal. It's pretty safe to say that Egypt is a little bit peeved. ANGER.

So I have a few photos to show you that I couldn't (be bothered to) over the past few posts, so, here they are:

This is Anthony. We were waiting for Mr Dominoes Man to turn up with our pizza when he realised he'd done this and requested that I put it up on the blog (Y)

This is the face I made out of stolen plasticine. The hair is necessary.

Today, Anthony took a bite out of his apple and it looked like a heart. N'aaw ^_^

Also today, I received a U for a Biology test. 28% is a U?! YAY FOR FAILURE.

Last weekend, I found this on the train - it's in a European language, I think Eastern European. I think it's a bus ticket? Where do they use Krone as currency? Probably my best find :D

So yes. I have finally worked out how to get pictures from my Blackberry to my computer :)

TODAY: Music, English, Biology, Free, Free, English Lecture about modernist literature. James Joyce, what the hell? *seeks professional help*

*seeks professional help on behalf of Mr. Joyce*

Actually I learned a lot. Now strongly inclined to go and read Jacob's Room by Virginia Woolf.

Now to wait for Thomas to put up his VLOG. Exciting stuff (Y)

And the songbirds keep singing like they know the score.

LOVE.♥

February 9th

Well, I suppose I'd better write this thing now...ho hum *trundles on with life*

So (again with the so. I should really think of a better way to introduce my day), as today was CE day for the year 13s, I had an off-site work day (day off), in which I completed (didn't) the work which was given to me (wasn't).

Actually, I woke up at quarter past nine from a slightly unpleasant dream which was so realistic in terms of its dialogue that I had to decide whether it was a dream or not. As my mother had been away for the past couple of days and therefore couldn't possibly have had this conversation with my step-dad and I, I decided that it didn't happen and I had dreamt it. I hope. :S

I had breakfast and watched Jeremy Kyle, in which everyone was actually pretty good looking for once and all the guys were good guys who didn't cheat on their girlfriends in the end. BORING. Then I watched This Morning, in which the guy off The Apprentice was talking about Twitter and stuff. I got annoyed that I had never watched it before. It's amazing. But not as good as Loose Women. And definitely not as bitchy as Come Dine With Me.

Then I decided I should do some work, as this is what this day off was meant to be for. So I made lunch, ate lunch, watched an extremely gory vampire film, learnt a song, played said song, practised another very difficult song, started working, got bored, played guitar again, worked a bit more and started writing this. My day and procrastination in a nutshell.

Yeah...nothing else happened. Except I was going to tidy my room and find the cable for my Blackberry so I could show you all the plasticine face I made out of stolen plasticine, but, as you can see, I didn't.

OH MY GOSH, WATERLOO ROAD IS BACK ON. Oh, the drama that goes on in the grim north :D

So what in the world's come over you?
What in heaven's name have you done?


Laters.♥

February 8th

Ah, Tuesday. You are the skidmarks on the underpants of life.

Is it just me, or does anyone else assign emotions or colours or stuff like that to days of the week? And my computer just put a red line under 'colours'. FUME.

See, Monday would be kind of red. And Mondays are alright to be honest; yeah, it's not nice getting up really early after a weekend but you at least feel ready for the rest of the week ahead :)
Tuesday: Blue. I HATE TUESDAYS. It is the most god-awful day of the week. Expansion on this theme later.
Wednesday: Orangey. Wednesdays are good because it's starting to get towards the end of the week now :)
Thursday: Kinda green. I like Thursdays, because the next day is Friday, and also I finish for the day at 12:00 on week 2. Yay!
Friday: Blue again, but kind of a deeper blue. Friday is good because it's finally the end of the week and it's the weekend!
Weekend: The whole weekend is probably yellow. Saturdays are marginally better than Sundays, because Sunday is usually the panic day when you realise you've got a ton of work to do which you didn't do yesterday and probably should have done.

I've just realised that my colours don't match my emotions about the day. Never mind :)

Today: Citizenship, English, Biology practical exam, Psychology, Year 8 English class, stayed after school to catch up on Biology work and then came home, marveled at the Google homepage and made a plasticine head. Out of plasticine which I borrowed from the Science department. Shh. Also, would put up a picture, as I hoped to now that Anthony has sorted out my media card, but now I can't find my cable for the computer. Expect pictures tomorrow ^_^

And then I had a thought. Get rich quick scheme. NICOTINE FREE CIGARETTES.

Think about it! No addiction, which means you're less likely to become dependent on them, which means you're less likely to get lung cancer and less people die. Yay!

Of course, I had considered the eventuality that someone else may have already thought of this idea and put it into action. And they have.

Actually, I don't think they look that bad. They probably taste a lot nicer. Considering I like the taste of cigarettes. And probably a lot healthier too. I want some. (Y)

One more thing before I leave you all to your rest: Qwerty. That is all.

And if one day you should see me in the cloud
Lend a hand and lift me to your place in the cloud.


LOVE♥

UPDATE: I just realised I didn't expand on my skidmarks theory about Tuesday. Apologies ^_^

February 7th

Oh, hi! It's been...three evenings with no blog? *slaps wrist*

Well, my weekend was filled with work (*cough* procrastination *cough*) and stuff, so nothing exciting. Except I had a phone conversation with Harry which was lovely. YES to Nandos on Saturday :D

So, my day: I woke up at five and didn't get up until quarter to six, when I went downstairs, made myself some soup for lunch, had coffee and ate breakfast - all before 6:40 which I thought was a bit of an achievement. Despite my early start, I still didn't make it to my usual half past seven train so was consequently late again.

First, theory. Blegh. Couldn't concentrate properly even with my coffee fix and a large bowl of Crunchy Nut Clusters.
Next, Psychology. More conformity. Character traits which make you less likely to conform. Actually I got a little annoyed, because one of the traits was if you were a social hero - you were just programmed to go against the grain and not conform. So she asked us which people we knew in history who were social heroes, such as Mandela, Gandhi, Pankhurst etc. And I said Hitler.

Which was a fair point, if you think about it. Ok - maybe Hitler wasn't a hero as such. But he still forced his way through what most people thought and turned what he thought into what everyone else thought and set up the Nazi Party. Which, in a way, was still resisting conformity because he didn't do what everyone else did. It's like retrograde social heroism. And it's all relative too - people in the Nazi Party would have considered Hitler a social hero because he set about doing what they all believed in. They all believed in purifying Germany and attempting to create a master race for the greater good. For HIS greater good, anyway. Hitler was a fantastic leader. He was one of the most effective and determined leaders this world has ever seen. Completely evil, yes. And he did unforgivable things. But he was brilliant.

Plus he was pretty striking. And eeeeeever so slightly good looking. I mean, look at the tash and the imposing glare!

I AM IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH NOR DO I SUPPORT THE NAZI PARTY

Rant over. >_<

Then English, by which time I was starting to wax a bit as my first break would be at twelve. Concentration started waning and right now, I cannot remember anything other than Harry telling Miss Kear that he loved her in Latin. In several different ways. That's how much he means it.

After that, Biology, in which I really started to lose my energy. THERE WAS A NEW GIRL. *shifty eyes* Seriously though, you'd have thought after a hearty breakfast, a multi-grain bar and a few cups of cream of tomato soup I'd be made for the rest of the day! But no. No energy whatsoever. Zap. Bang. Gone. zZzZzZz.

MUSICA. Doss for the whole lesson, right? WRONG. COMPOSING COMPOSING COMPOSING. Ten weeks and my composition is nowhere near finished. *bites nails*

Lastly, I have to ask what on earth everyone's going to do without Silent Witness? I'm like dying here.

Rollin' up, oh, rollin' down

We'll all get drunk in Tilbury Town

Twenty four hours to turn around

Rollin' down the river.

MUCHLOVE♥

UPDATE: Ok, perhaps I was wrong about the 'great leader' stuff. But you get my point about the conformity, right? :)

February 3rd

RIGHT! Quickly post everything, I've just found out my internet's now going to be cut off at 10 from now on!

*huddles in corner and cries*

Apologies for no post yesterday. I didn't feel like one. Although I probably should have done, as it was the singing competition last night and I felt quite pleased with myself afterwards ^_^

And I got a nice s'tifcat :D

Today, quickly quickly, only thirteen minutes left:
ACTUALLY GOT TO SCHOOL ON TIME *fanfare*
Harmony lesson
English - timed essay. More of a fail than the mock mock done yesterday. And Jess made a conversation between us awkward by saying it was awkward. IT WASN'T AWKWARD UNTIL YOU SAID IT WAS AWKWARD. ♥
Biology - zZzZzDEADzZzZzZzMOREDYINGzZzZzZzZzSLEEPPLEASEzZzZzZzZz...
Psychology - more obedience and screw you effects.
Free - Jessie J and prank calling from Mia. Oh shit. I've just landed you in it. Sorry :)
Read a bit more of Les Miserables. You know what Victor Hugo has taught me? Phantasmagoria is a word. It's a real word. No matter how many times my phone tries to correct it.
Came home
Curry for dinner (Y)
Blog :)

I would put a picture up of Anthony's water bottle trick, but unfortunately it's on my BlackBerry and I have still not figured out how the hell to get pictures up on my computer. Instead, please enjoy this rather demonic representation of Aristotle.

Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness
He can't be mine?


He needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well.


Two minutes left. Get in. ♥

February 1st

IT'S NOT JANUARY ANYMORE *throws arms in air and hugs nearest stranger*

Ok, that's the end of my cheeryness.

Today I:
Overslept
Got into school at ten
Dissected a heart in Biology
Music composition
Obedience in Psychology
Home early
Singing practice
Whistle practice
Did nothing for two hours
Blog.

No energy for anything.

Yes yes yes, stop whining and all that...

APPROACH TO LIFE AT THE MOMENT:

People who know me will (or might...) know that I gained a bit of a reputation a while back for being moody and miserable all the time, not joining in with what my friends are doing, cancelling things at the last minute and generally not caring. Then it got better over the summer. Then it started to decline again.

Haha.

I've come up with a philosophy. I think it ties in with the phrase 'just because someone suffers more than you, it doesn't mean that you don't suffer'. I'm not saying I'm suffering, but...

It doesn't matter what situation you're in, how bad or devastating it might be, or how simple or mild, if you cannot cope with it, you've got a problem.

But what does this matter?! Oh, what matters? I mean, really?

And I had such a wonderful day yesterday. Don't Judge! ^_^

Love to all, pinch punch first of the month, passed 1600 views earlier :) ♥
