January 8th

Good evening all! I'm sitting here as stuffed as a chicken fed triple its daily recommendatory intake, decapitated, filled with water, and then stuffed with sage and onion stuffing by a stereotypical housewife. Without the decapitation. Or the housewife.

I had curry for dinner tonight. It was lush ^_^

Anyway...

I had a strange dream last night. It was even stranger that I woke up several times during the dream and then, upon falling asleep, returned to the exact same place that I'd left off. Which I've never done before. It was really odd. I wrote it all down (I'm obsessed with dreams; just don't ask) which took forty five minutes. Forty five minutes to write down a dream! It was about zombies and fighter aircraft.

Anyway #2...

My day was again, pretty boring. I hoovered my floor. Yes, Sarah, I HOOVERED MY FRICKEN' FLOOR! It needed it, really.

Then I got this awesome guitar pattern going on and tried to write lyrics to it and failed. Epically.


NEED IDEAS. -_-

Look, a blue lobster! I love finding strangely coloured animals :D

Ok, so I've been pondering over this for a while (not the lobster).

I already have a YouTube account, and I use it to comment on things and like videos (such as Thomas's Vlog - yay!) but it hasn't actually got any videos on it yet.

So - should I start putting some stuff on?

Not really keen on putting my own stuff on YouTube. One, nobody will see it because no one will be searching for it. Two, I wasn't (not?) happy with my songs being on Spotify, let alone YouTube. Downloading and all that. So...covers?

Let me know ^_^

January 7th

It's the end of the week, and exactly seven days into 2011! Seven down, three hundred and fifty eight to go. Six weeks until half term (Y) Look, a yawning kitten! This is basically me for the whole of this week, except maybe not as cute.

So today? Today I've been incredibly tired, so tired I was on the verge of falling asleep in English. No English banter for Jess and I today (although we had plenty yesterday. Oooh, Siegfried!)

So first off, I had a free, where I did my Biology and Psychology homework, neither of which was asked for. Then I had Biology, which was probably the most boring lesson this academic year. Maybe it's because I'm tired. Then Psychology, which was equally boring, and then English (see above). Then Senior Vocal Group at lunch, which presented itself with the usual doo dooing and da daaing that make up most of the alto and tenor line. Sopranos always get the good bit, the tune, or a nice harmony. And we're stuck with a two note melody. Never mind :)

And then after that, Music. Nothing much to comment about. Except Alex's attacking of Webern's 'music' which led to a philosophical debate about whether the colour red that Alex saw was the same colour red as Stevo saw, which led to whether Webern was a masochist. I'm not quite sure how we got to this point.

Oh! We got our ID cards today ^_^

Not quite sure what the smiley face was for, as it seems to me a pretty Fascist regime. Apparently it's so the teachers can identify us. In other words, Miss Hall doesn't trust us. I don't really see the point. There is no point. It's completely pointLESS. Are they an acceptable form of identification? Could we buy scratch cards with them? They have our date of birth on them, I suppose. But what's really the point of them? I don't know if anyone's read 1984 (admittedly, I've only skimmed through the first few chapters) but it kinda reminds me of that sort of society, bound by rules where people in higher authority know who you are, what your name is, what you do for a living and can erase you at any time they wish. It's unfair and I don't understand why. It's an ineffectual piece of white card with a picture of me and my date of birth.

Anyway, going away from the conversation about oppression and fascism...

Off to bed now, been getting late nights all this week. Ready for a day of cleaning and revision tomorrow. The level of dust and dirt in my room has been escalating to the point that it's making me cough and splutter like a chain smoker. Enough's enough, I think.

Could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
Simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.

January 6th

Another late post. What is up with me? I really can't wait until the summer.

Today has been another average day in another average life. Is it me, or is life just average? At the moment I can't really see any specific point to life. Life is so mundane and boring. Why should we have to worry about the trivial things in life like what milk we should buy, and whether we should buy free range eggs, or whether we should test our smoke alarm every week, or go to work, or school, or take exams, or get into university? What's the point? I would really love to know. I really don't see the hype. Life is an endless stream of everything and nothing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suicidal. Goodness, no! *wipes brow* Just incredibly bored.

I get into huge arguments with myself over these things. But then I realise I'm contradicting myself by the fact that I'm arguing, as I've basically just said that nothing matters, in which case my argument doesn't matter either. So why argue it?

I guess I'm just in a little apathetic world at the moment...I'll be back in summer.

On the plus side, it's Friday tomorrow, which means only six weeks until half term. *cheers*
I think I'll have to go into teaching. I'm not sure how I'll cope if I don't have these holidays :D

Night, all :) ♥

January 5th

Bit of a late post I'm afraid - been trying to do my harmony homework for the past two hours. It hasn't turned out well. I think I'm going to leave it and go and see her tomorrow. I HATE HARMONY.

Anyway, today was as uneventful as yesterday so this post is as uninteresting as yesterday's. However, there were some good aspects to it. Although we were studying a piece by Webern today in Music, it was actually rather an enjoyable lesson. For some reason or another. And then Biology, which was a total drag, as usual...then English...

I'm really not in the mood to talk about my day. I'm really tired and stressed about school (yes, I only have one module, but that isn't the point). Have a picture of a tomato frog instead.

Proper post tomorrow xx

January 4th

First day of school today! And there we were, skipping hand in hand through the school gates, wondering what delicacies were in store for us at the canteen. Perhaps caviar? Who knows! We skipped and skipped all the way into the sixth form centre and sat down for some cranberry tea and éclairs, ready for a simply spiffing day of knowledge. Or not.

It was WAY too much effort to get up this morning. WAY too much effort. It really shouldn't take that much effort just to get out of bed. Eventually, though, I did. Said getting up was followed by a OH MY GOD I DON'T HAVE ANY CLOTHES moment, although that was swiftly rectified. Phew!

Followed by...well, a not very interesting day to be honest. It went something like this:

Citizenship -_-
Biology
Music
Psychology
Year 8 English class.

The Year 8's were particularly irritating today. SHUT UP AND LISTEN. ERGH.

Anyway, when I got home, I found to my delight that my brother had recorded Anastasia for me, a 20th Century Fox film about the fall of the Russian Tsar and his family. Well, actually it was about a rumour that one of the princesses had survived and the film told her story...it was one of my favourite movies when I was younger. So I sat and watched that (and laughed at how silly the plot is) and found out that Kirsten Dunst plays the young Anastasia. There, you've learned something ^_^

So now, I'm doing Music work, which I should have done before. But I didn't. So I'm doing it now. After that I've got Biology to do. So I'm probably gonna say toodleoo for today.

OH. D'you remember my depressing post about the problems I had with my hips? Yeah, I got diagnosed with bilateral hip displasia on New Year's Eve. Yes, it's not life threatening, but it's a bloody pain in the arse.

So long, chaps ♥

Janurary 3rd

So, my new year's resolution of blogging every day failed along with my Internet connexion. Thanks for that. -_-

It may have been a good thing, as I didn't really do much yesterday except go to Mel's to feed her guinea pigs and complete my English essay. YEAH.

Oh, Mum had friends over, who I had apparently met before, who then told me she was an invigilator at Charters and would probably be pacing round me in my Psychology exam next week...eek. This school is full of coincidences for me. I don't like it. I've now discovered that my step-cousins may also go there. It's slightly scary the connexions I have with this school. I promise, it's not deliberate!

So, today, my ACTUAL cousins came over, which was good because I hadn't seen them in ages. We had a feast of cold meats, jacket potatoes, various fillings, scotch eggs, prawns and the BEST black cherry trifle I have ever tasted. It was gorgeous. Like, extra gorgeous. Extra extra gorgeous.

Then we went for a walk round the field and saw Mugs, who I haven't seen for ages, which was nice :)

After that I did my Psychology homework and took a photo of my cat sleeping, which was the cutest thing in the world! Unfortunately, while attempting to upload it to my computer, I discovered that my computer does not have the required software to support my Blackberry. Instead, please enjoy the picture of this melon.



Laters! ♥ xx

UPDATE: 20:53
How I could have spelled the word 'connection' wrong twice in one post is beyond me. Someone shoot me.

January 1st - 2011!

Ladies and gentlemen, WELCOME - to 2011!

*fireworks*

Actually, it doesn't feel much different from 2010. All I know for certain is that I spent the first few hours of it throwing up and crying down the phone. Start as you mean to go on, I say. Vomit at the bus stop? -click- Yeah. That was me.

Seriously though, I had a really, really good night. Thank you Thomas ^_^

I think this is just gonna be a quickie, as I've spent most of the day watching crap telly because my ribs feel so sore and I just generally don't want to do anything. How long do hangovers go on for?!

Although I had a really good night, I said some stupid stuff. Some of which I kinda regret, even though it's not really of any consequence. The only thing I don't regret saying is agreeing to go skydiving with Thomas, which WILL happen. It will.

God, I'm exhausted. New year's resolution: blog everyday. Even that sounds a little faded, it seems people are creating blogs left, right and centre now. Not that I'm in any position to talk. Is anyone? Who does something if no one else is doing it? That's why people get drunk at parties. No. I'm too tired to get into a discussion about it. This shall have to wait until tomorrow.

Ta da then. Happy 2011! ♥
