MCM EXPO GFEQNHVIRENAVIRWA!!!!

Thursday:
School; last day. :)
Le Cousin came back for tea. It was fun. ^_^
We all sat on the coach, and Jeffery had his blessed reunion with his beloved Barney. :P
The play was hilarious. I loved it so much. One Man, Two Goveners should be seen by everyone.
Sleep came quickly.

Friday:
It was a pretty early start. Drove to Le Cousins house. I unpacked my stuffs, and then the sewing began. :D
During the day, we listened to the music on her spotify account. Mostly The Rasmus. :) Though I stopped that briefly to show Andy a One Piece spoof called "Pirates and/or Ninjas". It was fantastically funny.
Pasta for lunch, and then we carried on until finally finishing the dress at 5. Hurrah!
I took a shower, washed my hair and we ate dinner at 7:30.
In order to get enough sleep I went to bed at 8, but Smurf texted me... so I didn't get as much sleep as I had originally planned.

Saturday:
GFEAWGBJRIEANRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woke up a little later than I should have. We all rushed about, trying to get ready and eventually packed the last munite things so we could rush to the station.
Met Fel, Gaylen and Nerd there.
Completed stuff on train.
We finally arrived at 8:45 and planned on getting there super early so we didn't have to queue that much. Unfortunately the ticket machine decided that eating your fiver, keeping it in it's mouth and refusing to register any money has been inserted, kept us from doing just that. Because screw technology. We had to wait for about 15 minutes before anyone tried to do anything, and another 10 minutes before they told us it couldn't be fixed. So after 5 minutes of them trying to refund me and then allowing me to actually buy the ticket that I wanted in the first place, we were half an hour later than planned and therefore, queues were inevitable. It didn't matter though, because the rest of the journey made up for that hitch. As we took trains that were closer and closer to our destination, more and more people in cosplay joined us, until literally 10 people out of thousands on the train were dressed normally. :P It was awesome.
whilst queuing for wrist bands we tried to name as many costumes as we could. I surprised myself by knowing more than I thought I would be able to, seeing as I don't watch that much anime.
As we entered..... WOWZERS. There was just so much colour, and everyone was smiling (unless they couldn't - due to their costume). Gosh, it was just wonderful. Frendliness just radiated from the place.
Bought prezzie for Cousin - She absolitely loves POKI. :P
Wandered round for a while - looking at the stalls, pictures and people. One thing on nearly every single table was these things called "Full Body Pillows". :D Basically, almost naked manga women, printed on a pillow, which guys sleep with, and in extreme cases, sometimes they marry them. Creepy. ¬_¬
We also happened to come across many pictures, which, as we flicked through them towards the back, became women with less and less clothing on until.... hentai. XD
More things on the stalls, happened to be: Wigs, Figurines, and Nerdalising items of epicosity. Heh heh heh.
I had a nerdgasm for very long moments at a time.
There was a Doctor Who section with a T.A.R.D.I.S. that was as tall as the ceiling... which is tall. Very tall. There was also a Steampunk section, which I just "happied" about for several whiles. On top of the general epicosity of the place, the people in it just put the cherry on top. So many cosplayers, so many amazingal costumes. So much win. ^_^
So we looked round more of the exhibits. The Starwars one contained the real actor of C3PO and there were some people around the Assassins Creed one dressed as the Brotherhood who you could pose with. :P
We visited Cybercandy briefly too. I wish I lived in America sometimes. The sweets they have there just blow your mind. No wonder the stereotype is chubbiness, I bet I'd be a size 20 if I got to eat all the things that they do. XD
So yeah, then, as we were walking through the Katana section (I'm going to buy one, one day, and I shall be a ninja) we spotted..... ALEX FREAKING DAY!!!! I had a nerdgasm right there and then and it was wonderful. I garbled at him a bit and he said he had no idea what I said and that continued for a little bit but I eventually got a picture with him and all was well. :P
Le Cousin hugged a giant evil bear called Tibbers... Which was awesome seeing as she's petrified of masks and scary costumes.... yeah.
Uh.... scabbered round to the place where you meet famous people and met... famous people. Nerd and I were constantly making comments in that area about how we just loved different peoples ....'eyes'.... there were a lot of models in that area.... :P But anyays, while Nerd was having an orgasm over an Assassins Creed voice actor, Le Cousin and I were talking with some people who acted in Star Wars films, as well as chatting with those female models... ^_^
Went back along the ........... to get our tickets signed by ALEX FREAKING DAY and to tell him about "Doctor Who the Musical" which is showing in Northampton soon. :P
Shuffled back along to the Steampunk area and bought a couple of things (another spoon to add to my collection).
Saw TomSka and quoted some ASDF before realising that I had, in fact, lost my phone. We retraced our steps whilst Charlie called it and someone eventually picked up so that
Took some more photos, and had some more taken of us, before trying to find Shelly and co. (who had arrived by now). It took several trips from N4 to N1 to N4 and back again, but we kept missing them. So instead we went to the loo and took more photos before walking outside into the courtyard. There were so many awesome people there. :D
Lost my "Keep calm and candy on" balloon briefly but after chasing it for about 50 meters with many people looking on in awe, I finally got it back. :P
Chased after two Doctors and a Master before it started to rain, unfortunately. When the rain died down, we went back indoors to get out of the wind, which was particularly strong.
Finally met up with people beside N7. These people were as follows: Shelly and Tobias!! (and Bambi, Kirby, Harry and Sam).
Shimmyed off to the Steampunk stalls and bought a few other things, as well as buying an ASDF t-Shirt. :D
Then I took them all to see ALEX FREAKING DAY (again) and when I appeared again, he remembered me and we had a small conversation. ^_^
Went off to a nearby stand to buy a Gallifrayan Crest - Seal of Rassilon necklace. :)
Walked back through, round to the Steampunk place, before Bambi decided that she wanted to get her wrist band signed by ALEX FREAKING DAY, so we went back to see him (yet again) and we had another conversation. He and I were becoming quite comfortable talking by now and stood to the side discussing things for a while. XD
Found Sam and wandered round with him whilst looking for the others. Saw Nerd and Tobias (briefly) but they went off to see another Assassins Creed thing. :P Typical.
Found the others eventually, and sat watching the cosplay show for a while. Some of the costumes were truly fantastic.
Outside, everyone bought some chocolate stuffs and we all sat on the steps, watching previews, though when the Breaking Dawn one came on, we ran away from it screaming and managed to get lots of other people to charge away from it with us. That was pretty awesome. XD
Stayed inside for small amount of time to say hi to Leah and co. But got told to find Fel so we went outside again. Said goodbye to Kirby and marveled at his height one more time, before giving him an "extreme hug" and bidding him adieu, though I shall see him on Tuesday anyways so..... :P
Charlie and I walked off trying to find Andy and people but we gave that up eventually and sat outside instead. She didn't feel too good and needed to lie down so she sent me off to find the others again. Which I did, eventually.
They had to leave shortly after that, but luckily I found Nerd at that exact moment. So we said bye to them and went in search of the Cyber Candy stall again, though he got sidetracked by an Assassins Creed section (again. :P)
Found Cyber Candy and bought some True Blood, which was truly delectable. We went outside with it and drank a bit of it. People wanted some more pictures because we just looked too awesome for our own good. ^_^
We finally met up with everyone and decided to leave. Shimmyed down to the train station and met AlexAwesomesauce on theTube. Waited for our train and chatted with him until we had to leave. He's pretty awesome. Hopefully we can meet up again some time soon.
Got on the train and prepared myself for a long journey. It didn't actually seem that long though. I walked by some guys on my way to the loo and got a few comments (both ways) because they're idiots. Meh.
Took a taxi to Charlies and then Nerd gave me a lift the rest of the way because he's truly a very awesome person. :)
I got home and unpacked what was urgently needed to be taken out, before stripping myself of the steampunk gear and replacing it with my new "I'm doing an internet!" t-Shirt. :)
I was sitting on the sofa, about to go to bed when I heard a knock at the door. SMURF!!! He actually decided to come over to see me which was a wonderful surprise. ^_^
So yeah. Stuff happened. And more stuff. And lots more stuff... XD
Still, we had a little blanket snuggle. And then he disappeareded.
And THEN I went to bed. Finally. I was knackered.

Sunday:
Woke up.
Made a pancake batter. :)
Updated a bit of my blog.
Started watching all of the recorded Russel Howards Good News'. I do love that man. :P
Made the pancakes
Watched BBT.
Generally a very lazy day. :)

Over and out,

Halloween Social...

The 6th Form Social was a success. Sort of.

I was in one of my moods for the day which didn't help. They've been coming more frequently recently, and for longer periods of time. I don't like it. At all.

So anyway. Yesterday was one of them.

Le cousin came over and we watched Frankenstein whilst "tea-bagging" my bandages (her words not mine... XD)
Shelly arrived  and we started getting ready. Opened the alcohol and started the drinking for the evening. Got dressed and took a few pictures before picking up The Giant One. Got to Remis', met up with people... and then..... Bam. So began the stupidity. Shelly wanted to dance and then we kissed. In front of Smurf. Because I'm an idiot. ¬_¬ Anyway, after he decided to ignore me for the evening, I decided to try and put it aside for the night, because honestly, I was having a bad enough week already and this was supposed to be something that cheered me up. So I went dancing. We did a lot of that for a very long while actually.
Eventually Shelly decided she was bored of just dancing so she grabbed the nearest willing boy and made out with him. Happened to be a topless Will P. Who knew. :P
So yeah. We pulled them apart eventually and started dancing again. Everyone left to get some drinks so Shelly and I were dragged into the middle of a group of guys to "dance with them" but Shelly didn't like them so... ya know... we kissed instead. And everyone went completely crazy about it. Luckily they only recognised Shelly (from the kiss with WP earlier) so I wasn't harassed by them later on.
Yeah. So after that long-ish shenanigan, we left to procure more alcohol, with Le Cousin. That trip was fairly uneventful, but we did have to keep Shelly from climbing up a lamppost.
When we all entered the club again, Shelly ran off immediately. We found her two minutes later, lip locked with a guy who looked about 23. We ended that pretty swiftly and dragged her back to the seats.
When people went off to dance I started to feel the effects of my bad mood which I'd been trying to fend off with other activities (like dancing and kissing and drinking and such). I couldn't block it out any longer so I took a trip to the bathroom and cried for a little while. And then did some other stuff which I'm not particularly proud of. When I had re-applied my bandages I came back out to find that no-one had missed me, which I was pleased about, so no-one suspected what I'd been doing. However, The Cousin spotted that I wasn't feeling too good about something (call it family intuition) so suggested we go out for a walk. After finding the drink, we went walking and talked for a while. I told her about the pain which had just taken place and she scolded me for it (as per usual). We discussed a few other things like why I subdued my feelings, and why I find it hard to talk to people about my moods, and what causes them but that's all a bit vague in my mind.
We eventually walked back and joined the party. (Tried to talk to Smurf but he ran off before I could say anything to him). Cleughy shot me with some vodka (literally, it was a gun with vodka in it) and then gave it to someone to fill up.
Did some more dancing - found the others and tried to talk to Smurf (again).
Shelly wanted another drink, and I got given the gun to fill up, so we went off and filled it with peach schnapps. Talked with Shelly about things and headed back to the club again.
Found people on the dance floor (Shelly and Shadbolt) and danced to Gangham Style with them. :D Another song came on and Shelly declared it turned her on, and then proceeded to bite my neck. It's my weak spot, what can I say. After that kiss I ran off to the loo's again and... well, that happened, for the second time in the night. But I only did that because I knew that what I was doing was wrong, so it was only punishment which I deserved.
Found Le Cousin and declared we should leave, so we tried to round up everyone. Smurf looked upset, but I knew he'd just ignore me so I tried to arrange our taxi with Hatter and The Giant One instead. Unfortunately, Hatter seemed adamant that we talk to one another before the night was out.
We went for a walk together. And talked a tiny bit, but it wasn't really.... talking. I was just feeling numb about doing something wrong and upsetting him again.
After that, we got in a taxi and left. Smurf texted me during that ride. I couldn't believe how much that word hurt so much. I think it hurt me more because I knew it was true, but still, after I got out, I had to be taken on a walk around the village for about an hour by The Cousin before I was calm enough to go home.
During that walk, we also talked quite a bit about feelings for people and such. I just can't help how jealous I get of Hatter. I know that you always feel some sort of attraction to an ex so... when they're together it always hits me that maybe he prefers her company to mine. I mean, every time he's upset or frustrated, he goes to her rather than me. And she always accepts that and subconsciously uses that time to get closer to him again. I just, I miss him when he goes off with her. I don't know what I'd do if he got back together with her. On top of all my other problems...
We eventually got home and went straight to bed. Well, The Cousin did. I spent a little while longer thinking about my paranoia and other.... problems that I have. I cut again. Basically. Because I do that when I over think things.

Today -
I woke up in the most terrible mood. I just didn't talk to anyone for the whole day. It made me feel more secure.
Meh.

Over and out,

The past few days. :)

Thursday:
Met up with Dan after school. Went to his. Talked about cats, pandas, the council and drugs. Because we're weird like that. XD
Had to go home at 7 though so I could cook food for the men because they refused to enter the kitchen.... ¬_¬


Friday:
Got back from school on the bus because Father got stuck in a traffic jam. I got my cardboard a little damp. But oh well. Painted that. It's covered in blood again. I'm just a bit messed up aren't I? :P
I didn't really do much all evening. The football was on, so I watched that. But my phone stopped being nice to me and refused to send or receive any texts. That sucked because I got very bored very quickly. Talked to Ryan for a bit though, which was nice.
Skyped Dan and Stark til 1 in the morning, because I'm a silly person and don't think about sleep.
Found out that Stark has a girlfriend though. It's sweet. ^_^


Saturday:
I got a lie in!!! Yay.
Drove to and from work. Completed my computer course. :) nom.
Met up with Hatter and Dan in a field and walked her dog with her before dragging Dan to mine so we could make a cake. Can you believe he's never made a cake before? In fact he said he'd only cooked a handful of times in his whole life. O.o How?
Anyways. Made the cake. Had dinner and ate cake. Then we went up and chatted. For a VERY long time.
Basically, I made a huge breakthrough with finding out about what is bothering him and what makes him resort to drugs as a means of feeling better. The downside is, it took until 00:31 for that conversation to end..... yeah.... that wasn't so good. I got a bit told off for that. :/
Still. Why can't I fix everyone? :(


Sunday:
Woke up early and drove (most of the way) to Keele which I was proud about. ^_^
It is amazingly lovely. The accommodation is a bit ropey but the course and general feel of the place is wonderful. I think it might be my new first choice.... :)
Also, they have a Quidditch team....... XD YAYNESS.
Ahem. Yes. So that.
Drove back and talked with Shelly and Benjamin on skype.
Smurf picked me up and we disappeared off the the land of moving pictures (no, not the Wizdarding World unfortunately....) So yeah. Madagascar 3..... MY GOD IT IS FREAKING AMAZING!!! Too many hilarious quotes to put them all down, but I will just say.... "SONYA!"
Came out. Made out in his car by the side of one of the country roads.... Ohhhh yeah. :P I'm such a guy.
Got back to my house and just did our freaky makeout/licking/swearingateachother combination that would freak the rest of the world out :D until he had to leave. :( but yeah. Great night. Totally fantastic. ^_^ I evol him muchly and I am such a lucky person to have him. *giggles like a girl*

Thoughts. Something I haven't shared in a while.

Watched "The Confessions Of A Wall Flower"

It was... moving. And relate-able. I mean, not entirely. But elements of it were insanely similar.

Relate-able. That word I wish I couldn't use in relation to that movie.

I look back on that time and just think about all of those moments where I didn't talk about any of those problems. Letting them build up and then dispelling them in my own sick way. I wish, like in the movie, that I could blame my actions on some childhood trauma, or an influential moment in my life, but the only reason I did it was because I was confused. I didn't know what else to do to cope with what I was (or rather wasn't) feeling.

Being taught to hate what you are from a young age must have a little effect on your thought process I suppose, but not enough to excuse my stupidity.

Or maybe I wasn't stupid, and I just responded to the situations in different ways. Meh. I'll get over it. Eventually.

Maybe when I forget the thoughts and feelings throughout my "breakdown" moments.

Who knows.

Only time will tell.

Over and Out,

Gloves. xx

P.S. I will be posting previously dated material that I can't be bothered to type up right now. It will be done. I promise myself that. There are things that definitely need to be said.

Conflicting feelings.

So, I need to get these ideas out of my brain.

Alices party happened on the 28th-29th of September.

On the friday I met up with Dan after school. We talked shitloads about random subjects and the brother insisted on bothering us quite a bit with his "show-and-tell" craze.... yep.

So Smurf arrived (in a freaking SMURF COSTUME, which he'd purchased a couple of days before) and Dan disappeared.

Completed my Edward Scissorhands (yes!) costume and then we set off (though not before some truly embarrassing photos, as per usual).

Arrived at Alices. Twas awesome. In a word.

Started on the Cider after stepping into the kitchen and did a bit of shimmying and photographing before people started a game of "Never Have I Ever". It was going fairly smoothly. Then people decided to pick on me which was slightly embarrassing. Meh. That game quickly moved onto truth or dare, including things like "Kiss every girl in the room!" and "Shelly, give Gloves a lapdance, that's a great idea!!!" ¬_¬ huh.

Saw some guys going upstairs looking morbid so I followed behind to see what was going on. Ended up having a small talk with Zilla and other girls about men. Venting then was quite nice. We all agreed so much that we decided to have a little girl time - all of us going into the "sofa room" at the end of the corridor and generally chatting. H was quite drunk by this time and all she did was rant about how good her boyfriend was in bed (trying to make the rest of us jealous). :P

Many girl moments followed. Someone had the good idea of making sure that everyone got at least one Hickey. Though people were complaining that I shouldn't do them so good, and that they had work the next day. XD Fun times. Uh, unbuttoned Shellys top because of the "I love your bra!" moment we had downstairs, and started raving about the bra again. We eventually thought it was mean to leave her topless on her own, so instead of giving her top back, we all decided in our drunken state of minds to take our tops off as well.... Don't ask. I left briefly to go to the loo and Hatter came with me.

We talked about a couple of subjects that couldn't be talked about sober.... though I can't remember half of the conversations, I'm sure they went okay because we're still talking to one another.

Uh. Got back. Became involved in a pileon. Ended up on top of Shelly. Yeah. She convinced me to give her a hickey. Somehow that became a small kissing session. I hardly remember it, but I'm pretty sure it happened... I think? And I feel really bad about it. I mean. It was cheating on Smurf. But at the time I couldn't bring myself to care. I really don't feeling like that though, which is why I don't want to get drunk again. It always leads to bad things happening, even if you think they're good at the time. Meh.

 People decided more alcohol was needed and Shelly offered to come get some more with me. We got slightly sidetracked as we walked down the hall because this is the moment when we discovered the Fish Room. I saw the door open a little bit and got drawn in by the glowness. :P

We sat watching them for a while, waiting for more to appear and trying to desperately remember the name of the father of Nemos name. Eventually we decided that we should stop discussing deep subjects and actually retrieve the alcohol like we were meant to. Unfortunately, the last of the alcohol had been taken by Smurf, so instead we danced with everyone (including Millie) until she decided to "hang" with some guys. :P Instead, Shelly and I went back upstairs to the fish room again. Interrupted by Charlie a moment later. This eventually led to us all lying on the ground, singing the entire first half of "Welcome to the Black Parade". It was a drunken wonder to behold. :P

More talks. This time about less serious topics, though I'm sure I voiced my utter jealousy towards Hatter numerous times. I just can't help it. :/

Said goodbye to most people and then ventured downstairs once more to talk with the remaining people at the party. Some genius decided to suggest that turning off the lights was an excellent idea.

This led (somewhat oddly) to Shelly and I making out, with Smurf sitting at my feet. Gosh it was weird. But she is really quite good at it, that or I was too drunk to care. And surprisingly, watching the two of them was sortof a turn-on. So yeah. That was that. I felt terrible about it the morning after of course. But what could I do apart from apologise. God. Alcohol. ¬_¬

Went to bed shortly after that. Between Shelly and Millie because I didn't want to be on the end. :P Selfishness. I'm such a bed-hogger. XD

So this all leads me to the big question. My sexuality. What am I? Because I'm really starting to get confused about it. I want to experiment, but being in a relationship keeps me from doing that.

Recently, I've noticed that my observations of people have changed. I notice little things in girls that I used to look for in guys, and I take less and less notice of the guys around me, or at least I don't "assess the alternatives" in guys as frequently (yay psychology). It's like, the only guy I now care about sexually is my boyfriend. Which should be a good thing, so why am I worried?

What if I start going off him too? I 'm genuinely scared of my own feelings. It's a stupid thought process, but what if I end up liking girls more that guys, or go off guys all together. Where does that leave Smurf and I? I don't want that to happen. God I don't. I love him for goodness sake. But the issue stands. And I need to focus on the answer. I don't want this dragging along like the rest of my issues, because as history can tell, it's not good for me to let that happen. :/

Kitty....

Kitty.... :'( I loved him. x

Why did that have to happen?

RAINBOWS!

Had the most fantastical day with Smurf. ^_^

Woke up early, dithered around a bit until I deemed it late enough to set up for pancakes. Mom got worried when she discovered that I wasn't in my own bed, hah, but I corrected her soon enough. :)
Smurf woke up not long after that and I put off making the batter for a little while so we could snuggle. ^_^
After letting the pancake mix sit for a while, and mother declaring her departure, we shuffled downstairs in our sleepy daze to make the pancakes. Which were delicious. Yom nom nom. :D
After breakfast, Smurf showered... and then I showered. Apparently he didn't get the memo that you're not supposed to intterupt someones shower, but meh, I didn't complain for long.....
Ahem. So. After that little... thing... we did some other stuff for a while.... Yeah. So anyways...
CAKE!!! And not just any cake. Rainbows..... O-O :3 (>^-^)> So much epicosity.
We even had a mini cake mix fight. It was so fun. He makes me happy.
Once the cake was cooking, we went out to buy skittles, though every single shop in the village decided that they didn't need to sell big packets of Skittles, so we had to buy small ones instead. :/
After more stuff, the cake was ready to be iced. And though it didn't look too appealing, we hoped that once it was cut open it would be nicer.
WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED! So much... COLOOOOOOOOOOOOUR!!!! :D :D :D
Yes.
So that ended our fantastical day together because then Smurf had to leave. :( Mah.
So yeah, I got the sewing machine working. ^_^ That was funnles. :P I can start my stuffs now.
Had dinner....
FRWL! O.O

Over and out,

Gloves. xx

Days of epic.

Friday consisted of going into school to do some drama. Which failed miserably. No-one turned
And then returning home and opening up the Hunger Games to see what all the fuss is about. Meh.
Generally a boring day. Apart from the brief morning entertainment. XD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Saturday - Nottingham - I will expand on this later.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunday 17th (Whoooo!)

Was going to be boring as hell.
I got up for food and then immediately flung myself back into bed, only to be roused by cats minutes later who insisted on lying on my body parts instead of finding any other space on my double bed. ¬_¬ Animals.

Anyway. Mother eventually got me up. And then I gardened. Literally - I threw on clothes and ran outside. It was okay to begin with, but I was told I had until 2 to weed the whole of the lower garden..... ¬_¬ And then by the time 11 came around I was just aching all over and my shoes were covered in catshit....
I did have a bit of fun then, because father brought out these HUGE CUTTER THINGYS THAT LOOKED LETHAL. So I cut up a tree and roots and shizzle with those for mother and tried to text Smurf at the same time. It's more difficult than it sounds.
Somewhere between then and my shower Smurf was allowed to come over... Which was surprising but I'm not complaining.
Completed the garden and ran off to shower. The running was deemed irrelevant as I spent about 20 minutes in the shower whilst listening to my music (as per usual) and getting shouted at by Greg every 5 minutes saying that it's too loud. Annyyyyways, I had literally got out when I heard the signature banging on my floor meaning the other people in my house wanted to talk to me... It was to inform me that Smurf had arrived. So.... yeah..... I got dressed as quickly as possible and actually did something with my hair before going down and saying HAI. And then we went up to my room and did stuff until it was time to dissapperate into the unknown!!!
The car rally. WAS FREAKING HILARIOUS!
As usual, we were all incredibly competitive. And as per usual we started bickering about things pretty early on. Still, it was fun. ^_^
At one point we couldn't see the clue anywhere at all, and because we had to save miles, Smurf and I walked the entire length of the Village (no idea where it was) to look for it.
Later on we drove around getting lost and less and less hopeful about winning. Still, we completed it, went home and made our way to the Pub.
Miraculously we came second (lost on the miles that we all made up. :P) So yeah, pretty epical. XD

It was the football final too.
Did mean to watch it. But in the end we just.... Didn't. XD
So yeah.
The end of a pretty epical day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Monday - Had my singular biology lesson - in which we did a test with yeast and stuffles.
At the beginning Miss had a bit of a scare and had to steal the papers back from us because the mark schemes were printed on the back. XD Unfortunately I did not read them in detail. :( But yeah. Did that. IT was extremely fun. I felt like a mad scientist. ^_^

After that, we all walked along to the end of the headlands to watch the torch go by. We had more fun whilst waiting for it than acutally seeing it. :P Had many a piggy back from the guys and I think that the day will be one of my favourite family videos. I can't wait for Le Father to burn it onto a disk. XD
So yeah, wasn't allowed to go back to school. Had a hissy. Did my after school activities. And that's basically it. I think. Not that I remember. Gah. I need a better memory. Perhaps I shall ask X to design me a memory storage system. I bet he could do it in under a year. :P I swear that guy's a genius.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thursday
The last (MELON) day of school. Went into town with Smurf to shop for Ls party.... Bickered like a married couple XD Cannae really remember all that went on. Apart from the card shop, we had a lot of fun there. :P Me hearts musical cards muchly. ^_^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Friday - Shelly!!! OH MY FREAKING GOOSBERRIES IT WAS EPICAL TO THE EXTREME!
So basically mom had to take me to hers slightly early.... and by slightly I mean 2 hours.... because Le Brother had an emergency teeth appointment. So yeah, the door opened and both Shelly and her mother were in their Pj's. ^_^ Had a long conversation with Shelly's sister before clambouring upstairs to go jump on her bed. Several times. Until her mother and sister left. And then we sat there for a while listening to music and stalking people on Facebook.

Got bored of that, so instead I stripped to my undies and we did a photoshoot. It was acutally really fun, a little awkward to begin with.... but we both just laughed through the awkwardness until it was too funny to care about. XD I wore this really nice dress to start with with a belt that I want. And we both pulled funny faces every time my Union Jack undies showed through. XD
Then I swapped bras (I was wearing my black one.... which really doesn't do well with white seethrough dresses/sheets, but twas okay because Shelly and I are the same time. Also, I want her bra.
Did some more pictures. She complimented me on my back muscles..... apparently they're impressive... Who knew? :P

So yeah. I re-dressed myself. And then we sat around a little longer talking about concerts and music and shizzle. During this conversation, we decided that we have to go to a concert together some time. ^_^ So we're probably going to see The Rasmus. She has assured me that we will mosh to our hearts content. XD
Cooked lunch, watched The Iron Giant. Forgot about lunch and burnt the smiling potato faces, so we had to put cheese on them to make them better. Which it did. A lot. Cheese makes everything better. :P

So yep. Watched fucked up music videos and played around with hair and stuffles. Decided to mix the two and copy a hairstyle from a demented video - thus our hair idea was born.
Plaited it together - giggling like maniacs as we did so. XD It didn't take as long as I expected actually. But yeah, after we'd taken several pictures and laughed a lot more.... She and I both looked at one another and said... "Well what now?"
I think we sat in silence for a total of 30 seconds before we both shouted "CAKE!". And so we did - Shelly suggesting we dye it a colour too, just for the hell of it.
After setting up the camera and giggling about the whole situation we finally started.
We actually cooperated a lot better than I thought we would, so that was a plus. While the cakes cooked we decided to find the blue face paint and avatar to match the plaited hair and blue cakes. Unfortunately the facepaint was not found. :( Though her artbooks are amazing. I want her talent! D:
So watched the first part of avatar 19 minute extended edition while eating half of the cake mixture and waiting for the cooking cakes.
Swapped the discs and took out the cakes for decoration! :D Yayness! I made a yellow sunshine and pink tentacles. :)

Watched most of the rest of the movie.
Went upstairs though after her family returned and skyped her italian friend. ^_^ He is so epic!!!
Ate dinner.
Got returned home by her father. Quoted ASDFMovies and chatted about the Zombie Apocalypse all the way home. He must think I'm mad. :P

~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Saturday was the day of the Pool Party! :D Whoo!
Got to L's with H. Had a brief moment of forgetting there his house was before getting in and taking our stuffs up. Greeted by the girls (L's gf and plus one) and sat around eating and setting up lights etc. for a while. Got bored, so clambered into the Hot Tub. 
Discussed many 'bubble' related items and that lasted a little while, until we got hot. We had ot leave one by one to make sure the water level stayed right.... It led to a couple of funny moments. 
Dried off and ran upstairs, Smurf arrived along with The Giant One so we had another session. 
After the boys decided to play fifa/cod/something, the rest of us watched Zombieland. :) That movie is hilarious. Waited around for Hatter to arrive. She did, and immediately we all charged to the Hot Tub. Councilled C. XD After this, quite hilarious, "Spa Sesh" we stripped off and entered the realm of our PJ's. ^_^ 
People dried out swimwear and relaxed downstairs. I played guitar with L and jammed (quite successfully) for a while until I remembered I needed to sort out my own bikini.... :/ Stayed upstairs when I realised Hatter was playing and talked with C for quite a while about things that had been bothering us. It was really nice, just having someone to talk to in that moment who could give me rational answers without laughing, even if it wasn't really about anything serious. 
C left to play/sing with L so I sat in the study for quite a long time just drawing, trying to vent the build-up of emotions. I hate how they appear at the most inconvenient times. Still, I'd rather feel them than go back to the state of numbness that began last March. Not being able to feel slight shifts in emotion just became unbearable, and I suppose we all know what the outcome of that was... 
I got sick of the drawing eventually, and so went down to retrieve my iPod. The people were watching a TV show and playing a drinking game.
Went back up and listened to very loud, screamy music. It seems to be the only thing that calms me. The more angry it is, the calmer I get. Which is odd as the opposite occurs in the reverse: When I'm calm, I start physically shaking, like some energy is building up inside me that I need to release. Basically, if I'm listening to that type of music, I'm in a bad way. 
But yeah. Drew some more while listening to MCR. Smurf came up briefly and we had a small chat. I tried not to get annoyed and I think I managed it. I think.
But still, it's hard for me to think rationally when people act differently around me. I can tell, even if they've only had a little to drink, not because they start slurring their words or are staggering about, because they treat me differently. Brush off things that should matter, speak a little more truthfully. I can't tell every time. But in some cases, it just infuriates me that I'm treated differently to usual. It's like they're lying to me when they're entirely sober. I know it's not true, obviously. I suppose it's just a little code written into my mind that unnerves me. Meh. I'll learn to accept it eventually. Sometimes I think if I drink with them then I won't notice. But that's not why I want to start drinking, to ignore something. Because then I'll start thinking it'll cure other things like the emptiness I feel sometimes or the waves of emotion that threaten to suffocate me sometimes. Just like I started the cutting to rid me of all of those things. It became a thing I depended on. And though it was a terrible thing to do, it was harmless in comparison to drinking away my troubles. I can't let myself get like that.... So I'll just have to endure the annoyance.
Filled my stomach.
Collected my bikini and ventured upstairs to change for the "Midnight Spa". Hatter and I started changing, regardless of the people in there, they soon left anyways. Plus, it didn't actually matter if Smurf saw. It's not like he hasn't seen anything before. The spa was awesome, though everyone established that Smurf and I were "Jendon". Wonderful. We are now a singular person. But yeah. Smurf gave me an awesome massage which helped me relax more, to the point where I felt like I was back to normal, which was very good indeed.
People got out and we all got changed again. Smurf helped me change, which was quite funny, but led to our sofa spot being claimed and therefore we had to sit on the other sofa on our own. Meh, I wasn't complaining.
Watched a team.
Started watching "Hostel" but got told to take it off by L's dad because of the content... And instead we watched the Expendables. I fell asleep against Smurf, despite my hardest efforts to stay awake. Apparently it took a mixture of shoves and shouts to wake me up, and even then, Smurf woke up before I did. I appear to be an extremely heavy sleeper. :P 
H, Hatter and I jumped straight into bed, well, I removed me bottoms, realised I needed to pee and had to hurry downstairs incase someone saw because I couldn't be bothered to put them back on. :P Slept quite peacefully. The others; not so much. 
In the morning, I woke up when H went to the loo, triggering my need for the loo (which triggered Hatters need for the loo). She was waaaaay too cheery for it to be morning. >->
Hatter coaxed my wakening soon enough and we both ventured downstairs to see what the night had done to the males.
Ended up watching I Am Legend while L and The Giant One went out to get sugar.
From Paris With Love was put on while eating breakfast.
Halfway through that Smurf and I decided to get everything ready to go.
Literally, straight after the film ended, both Hannah and I needed to leave along with Smurf.
Went home.
Played at the park with k and j after dinner. Did k's nails as penguins (screwed up the eyes on one of them and couldn't be bothered to do it, so instead, that penguin now has an eyepatch. :D 'Twas adorable!). Mols and Joleary joined us to play football and I was congratulated on my football skills. ^_^
That was basically that. Trekked upstairs to get outfitty sort of clothing down from the loft. Arranged stuff for my hair, nails, make-up etc. as well as my room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Monday 9th -
'Twas "No Bra Day" so I made up for the sin of wearing a bra in the evening by doing my chores in the morning completely topless. I didn't actually plan it, I didn't even find out it was no bra day until the evening, I just didn't fancy wearing a top... XD Mother soon got used to the oddity.
But yes, did flute practice between organising my outfit, surfing eBay for items of my liking, and painting my nails.
At 2, took father to the station and then practiced driving again until 3:30. I actually got the car to go forward! *Proud Moment!*
Walked the dog and then set off to do flute. I have a LOT of practice to do over the summer. ¬_¬ but it was  the last lesson of the academic year so... yay! :D
Made and ate pasta pouches, did my hair loosly - sectioned it off and looked hideous by the end of it, but I needed it roughly done so I had enough time to do it when I returned.
Unicycled off to brownies and helped out with their sports day. :D The really are adorable.
Got called during it though which I never do.
First Joleary, who asked me to babysit for Mols - I told him I'd get back to him.
and then Smurf asking what time I'd arrive at the party. Gah.

Ran off from Brownies straight home, planning on getting ready immediately. Instead I dithered around a bit and then spoke with Hatter on the phone for 30 mins. In that time, I ended up inviting her over and offering her a lift and my Hairdressing/NailArt skills.
Got my undies on so I was decent for Hatters arrival and then started on my hair. She arrived and we joked around as we dressed and prepared.
Once we were both ready we picked up The Giant One and set off.
Smurf dropped off his bag in the car and we entered the clubplacethingthatalwaysdamagesmyearswithbadmusic. Got a wristband and found the friendly people in a corner that we had claimed as our own already. Laughed and danced together for a bit before clearing off with others to purchase drinks.
Hatter and I waited with Lee and chatted about the male body and his abs while the others went off. Had a bit of WKD with Hats and then, after all 'twas finished, we meandered back to Remis' to do some more dancing and shizzle. Took many pictures and Ife taught us a lot of new dance moves. But nothing much else happened.
Went out for air briefly and Smuf took Carlys hat so Hatter and I ran after him. Inside, H stole the hat Smurf was wearing and we had a bit of fun running around with it. He held me upsidedown outside a bathroom to get it back. I have no idea what it must've looked like.
Did more dancing. What else....? Ah yeah! Kissed Smurf at midnight which was fun. ^_^
At one point I was dancing with H, and this guy came up to me, WolfWhistled (no lie) and asked for my number and then proceeded to tell me how hot I was. I mean, who does that?! >_> Anyways, I flipped him off and continued "Sexy Dancing" with H. He tried to dance with me at one point... So I kicked him and high-fived H.
Smurf arrived back from wherever he'd gone off to at that point and I thought about asking for a hug, but it hadn't bothered me that much so I left him to do his own thing. Told him about the incident later when the creepy dude wasn't around.
Went to the loo. Came back and the girls were gone. :( It was the last time I was seeing them in the summer, and they just left without a goodbye.
We rounded up people after that and skidaddled. Maxwell was funny. :P
Smurf and I walked from the Pub to my house. Well... actually he carried me most of the way. Had a quick midnight swing which was fun. ^-^
Got home, snuck in, and led Smurf to his room. He briefly came along to mine for the loo and then we departed for the night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On le Tuesday morning I woke up, got bored and tidied up, until mother informed me that she was going out for her walk soon. 
Went to close the door and noticed Smurf standing at the other end of the landing. Mother was downstairs and the landing creeks, so I made my way over to his room to make sure he did't make any noise if he tried to come over. We lay on le bed together until mother disapperated. 
Had a shower, which.... Was quite something. One of the ....... something-est showers I have ever experienced. Not too sure what to make of it, but I know I'm probably never going to be able to shower in there without thinking of .... memories.... ever again. My shower place is no more.
Ate breakfast.
Mother returned and we played on the Wii. Smurf is just too good at it. HOOOOWWWW?!?!?!
Had a ham and cheese toastie for lunch. Nom. And then went off to the cinema.
Drove. I swear Smurf thought he was going to die at times. :P
The film was awesome. He is hot.

But yeah, then we had to rush back the get the bus because of the babysitting thing... :/
Made Le Brother dinner while Smurf packed his bags.
Walked to The Giant Ones with him. Said goodbye in a really quite crap way... :(
Felt a tear on my cheek as I ran up to Jolearys. Only one though so that was okay.
He left for his job and Mols and I played with Tady for a little before resorting to the Wii for entertainment. Played some Sonic and Mario and the Winter Olympics which made me remember the morning with Smurf. It was quite fun though. I almost didn't want to leave when her rentals got home. :P Apparently Joleary talks about me a lot at home. He's constantly mentioning me and saying I'm bubbly and such apparently. Mols says she understands why now. That was nice of her. ^_^
Some guys down my road called out and asked "for my digits" before asking across the street for a quickie in their car. Oh the joys of teenage males. ¬_¬
Returned home with £10 in my pocket and a dismal mood.
Started writing up my blog while eating dinner and chatting to Smurf.
Went to bed around 1:00. Oops.


Over and out,

Gloves. xx

I Heart Ice.

Today, I woke up to a text. I then had a total of 10 minutes to get up, eat and dress. I didn't make it. :P

Still, I don't think Smurf minded. Eh.
We meandered upstairs and I sprayed Keneth while Smurf visited him. He is awesome.
Gave Smurf his wallet back..... I didn't mean to take it! Honest!
Took all of the stuff for my Wall of.... Stuff and sorted through it before getting a little distracted for a tiny bit... We started it eventualy though. And we started the movie too. Holes. Yeah.
Stuff happened. But we generally watched the whole movie. Generally.
Walked le dog. That was..... Surprisingly uneventful. Though I found another alleyway in which Smurf could potentially rape me... What joy.
It was exceptionally hot outside so by the time we got back we were boiling. Obviously we did the only rational thing a couple of hot (and slightly horny) teenagers could do. Took a cup full of ice up to the bedroom. As ya do.... :P
More stuff happened. Loooots of stuff. Mostly involving cold and wet stuffles. Plus, I really am trying to become less selfconscious. Smurf is helping. I think. I do heart him muchly.
Smurf eventually drove off and left me to mourn for my loss. Sadness.
Got over that and went to Cinamons... They couldn't actually hear me knock, so I had to wait for his father to arrive. Along with Children and dogs. Both were surprisingly adorable. One of them led me to the Lodge. Practically an extra house at the end of their garden. Oh, did I mention that they're loaded? Well they're loaded. God, so much stuff!
So yeah, joked around with the guys for a long time before getting down to business, where I created a new tune entirely. Just like you do. :P Apparently they loved it. So we played it. And it worked. Hence - Made song. Twas goooooood.
Cinamon demonstrated the Children and their nicknames, which they actually respond to. My favourite was for the youngest child. Flumpy. :P Genius.
Icepops were brought to us by the child slaves. They were yummy, and gave us sugary inspiration in which to create more awesome-osity. :)
More music was played. Discussed the whole plan. Yada yada.
N left. :( So without a bassist, we sortof mucked about a little bit more with stilts and horns. (He just has those sorts of things lying around! O.o)
Made up a short song about how cocky Cinamon is ;) The lyrics are made up entirely of "I'm a genius."
Left le house.
Brought my laptop down into the bathroom, along with le mouse and relevant cables and made a nerd, comp base. :D Played portal 2 with Brilliant. It was.... well.... Brilliant. XD
Blogged about the last couple of days.
Skyped Smurf. He is adorkable. :)

Over and out,

NHM and ZOMBIES!

Arrived at school. Discussed various goings on with the bench people about their "study week" (weeks holiday) so far.
Eventually got on the bus and I sat next to the Smurf. While the others discussed the Zombies most of the way there, Smurf and I listened to music most of the time and joined in every so often.
Split from the Geologists almost immediately and ran off to the "Inside Out" exhibition. YAY! Spent most of the time discussing the evolution of humans (or lack of) with Nerd and Shelly, though we ceased the conversation for moments of great importance - e.g. Looking at the size of an Elephants Penis and talking about the fact that you could hug it, as well as looking at a Gorillas body and singing "Sexy And I Know It" and marvelling at the general spectacular-ness off the SCIENCE!!! :D (As well as the stuff in the gift shop... We are such kids.)

Wandered off to the Green Zone to look at le Dodo before travelling to the Red Zone for out Geology Friend - Zilla. Looked at rocks. And stuff. Before we travelled UP INTO THE GLOBE (while humming creepy and scifi tunes)! :D I Heart the globe. Shelly and I agreed that if we could choose, we would use it as our bedroom for uni. :P

Looked at more rocky stuffles and went on the Earthquake simulator (which Shelly had never been on :O) before taking a picture of "Science in Action".... (pouring water onto sand). :D We also played the whole of the "Big Bang Theory Theme" when in the relevant section. We looked so awesome. :D

Left Zilla to complete her sheet (we were distracting her too much) and visited the DINOSAURS!!! :D :D :D

Whilst walking along the bridge we sang "Sherlock and I know it" as well as looking at the crappy animatronics in the small dino-thingys.
Looked at the HUUUUGE DINOSAUR AND GOT PICTURES. Looooots of pictures. :P Waited for Zilla, before finally relieving those dinosaurs and scratching their noses.... YAY!
Entered the Dino shop and Shelly and I played with the dino puppets for a creepy amount of time as well as looking for adult dinosaur outfits. :)
Visited Darwin briefly in the main entrance hall and got pictures with the funky dude before travelling back down to the kiddy area to eat. Yom nom nom. Though by then we were all BOILING. D:

Visited the dino shop yet again (this time with the rest of the gang) and Zilla acquired TERRENCE!!! :D He is the most adorable Triceratops. Ever.

Entered the Cocoon, tried desperately to focus on the questions we were meant to be answering.... but the beeping cards were just too interesting!!!
On the way back down, Smurf and I pretended to be trapped in the lift. No-one noticed, which was disappointing. Though we did all agree that the Cocoon was going to be our main Zombie base, which was a plus. :P

Lost people after Cocoon, but eventually found them as they shouted at us from the staircase near the giant tree. As the heat became even more unbearable, we sat down on the cold steps in desteration. There, Zilla had her first piggy back (from Nerd) and we took many photos of our tiredness.

Le teacher a la Cook suggested we go outside into the Courtyard, which we agreed to immediately.
Ended up trying to fight with Shelly gladiator style (as the Courtyard was shaped appropriately) which was a fail to begin with (we had no weapons) and slowly became less of one (we acquired sword replacements - empty water bottles a sign of our desperation. :P]).
The grass became more and more appealing, until we were all taking part in many takedowns and pile ons with no specific purpose.... Fun. :D Had a brief game of Piggy-Back wars, before le return to the Underground Base was nigh. Raced le lift. Won. Stairs beat Elevator always. Smurf should add that to his recitation..... :P

Returned to the courtyard one last time. Though this time I was having one of my mood swings, meaning I needed to calm down, so I listened to MCR. For some reason, listening to them is like a channel for my emotions so I don't take it out on other people. Or myself. I hate that I rely on it so much sometimes. :/ But occasionally, being with my friends just doesn't help at all. :(

Travelled to the front of the NHM and moved out.

On the bus the Zombie talk became much more serious and this time I was much more involved.
Smurf gave me a present (dinosaur hand tattoos [THEY ARE EPIC]) which made me feel bad about not getting him anything..... oops.... :/
Part way back, we had a little stare off with some white van men which Smurf was captivated with. They sent us a mussage which seems to have stuck in Smurfs head: "I fucked ur mum up the ass." Isn't that nice!!! :P We were pissing ourselves. XD

So yeah. Nerd created a group on the Zombie Plan when we got back, my notifications still haven't stopped... :P

Over and out,

ALTON TOWERS MOFOS!!!

I woke up on this particularly regular day and stressed out trying to find clothes to wear and getting everything done in time while making sure not to forget everything. As I stated; regular. Turns out I didn't need to rush that much seeing as Cleugh was late but whatever. We arrived at Smurfs a little later because of petrol and missing turnings and such so we eventually set off for Alton Towers at 10.

Got stuck in traffic but the journey was generally enjoyable. Played loud music and burst my eardrums and messed about with Crisp in the back without the others noticing. It was hilarious. :P I think they were just distracted by the "chicas"..... I was distracted momentarily by a car. And some really hot guys....

Arrived at the park and walked along singing the Italian Job theme song (for some reason) while the two "little ones" ran off and acted like children. :P

As soon as we got in, Smurf checked the map (stepped on it), and we rushed off to get on a ride (not before noticing the slight governmental bias in "Torybook Land" XD) which just happened to be the Sonic Pinball  Rollercoaster thingy. Luckily Crisp was short enough. ;)
Joked around and suggested that we walk off with the huge Sonic statue at the front of the ride and just pretend we won him. :D
So yeah, Smurf and I were planning on seeing if we could make out for the whole ride, but we couldn't reach, plus we'd both probably have ended up in A&E one way or another. :P 

After that event, we headed to the X-Sector where Crisp announced he was scared of heights..... yeah. So he refused to go on Oblivion. He missed out big time, the wait was hilarious. Four people in front of us started arguing about football teams. Two for Arsenal and two for Man U. Their chants and general points were ridiculous and funny. :D Smurf and Cleugh were making everything even funnier by talking loudly about other teams and such as well as Smurf chanting something about RVP..... because he could.... :P 
At the top, as we were hanging over the edge, Cleugh, Smurf and I took it in turns to shout the following: "Crisp Bailey Pusseeeeey" at the top of our voices,,,, which amused all three of us greatly.
After that we went on Submission, which Crisp declined once again because he doesn't like going upside-down either..... ¬_¬ But still. That was good. We could hear all of the money swishing around inside at the bottom of the ride. Plus my hair looked awesome. XD

Went for food, shared a bucket thingy, before setting off towards the Dark Forest and ultimately Rita. :P
It was insane. It really is a great ride. The speed is incredible.
After we got off, Crisp shouted "That was fast!" To which Cleugh replied: "No shit, 0-100 in 2 seconds..... Just a little fast don't you think?" :P No idea why, but I was greatly amused by this.

We all wandered back, through the gardens, towards Forbidden Valley and pretended to be zombies. Got there in the end. :P
Jumped straight onto Air. Well, I say that, really we waited in the single riders queue for goodness knows how long. Had a bit of a laugh though. Smurf still hasn't told me what they were all whispering about. *Disappointed Face*. Anyways, the ride was awesome (as per usual) and I pretended to be dead, (which I found more entertaining than I should have really.... :P).
Looified and got some doughnuts (God! They were like multiple orgasms in your mouth!!!), and licked sugar off the boys fingers, before going on Ripsaw. :D Well, three of us did, Crisp refused yet again.... >_>
So we decided to go at the back. Never again.... Well... Mebbe.
WE GOT SOAKED. And some water up my nose. Heh. :L

Wandered down the Spooky Pathway and finally started taking pictures. When we arrived, a really posh bloke in period dress was "rolling" in his drivable boat playing "club" music extraordinarily loud while singing along in his extremely posh accent.... XD We thought it was so hilarious. As he walked away, the guys sang along and, god, it was just, ah, so, heh. :D
Ran to the rapids. There was barely any queue so we got straight on. :)
The ride was great. Crisp got wet (finally), and at one point, smurf was a dick and scared me in the middle of a dark tunnel. Made up for it though by kissing me..... and then we proceeded to make out until the other people protested..... :P
So yeah. The picture was a little bit of a fail, but we had fun doing it. :)

Got off. Smurf played a "fishing" sort of game and after waiting for a while to get a single frog (containing 1 point) and a bit of banter with the stall person, he managed to get a little monkey in a banana. :P
Wandered back and watched some guys shoot water at people (including a "Weasley" look-a-like [basically a ginger kid]). ^_^ The guy who shouted that has become my hero. :P
More stripping ensued and we went off, planning to go back to the car.... before I was distracted by a guy carrying giant bananas. With MOUSTACHES!!! :O
Smurf wasted £10 on that basketball stand..... But later I paid £20 to get one off this guy..... It was a split second decision and I have yet to regret it..... :P

OH MAI GOOSBERRYS I HAVE A GIANT MOUSTACHE BANANA NAMED KENETH!!!! :D He rode with us on the monorail like a real gentleman. ^-^

After getting to the car and stuffing Keneth in the back with Smurf and I. I realise now that what we should have done is let the banana ride shotgun, then people would drive by and think they were going insane. :P
So yeah, took a few more photos as we headed back. Got back to Smurfs, his mother thought the banana was brilliant. And then we left, Cleugh and I in the car and the other 2 on bikes. :D
All in all, twas a pretty awesome day. :)

Cleugh and I chatted to Ninja on the way home. Mother was a bit hysterical when she first saw Keneth. Greg wanted to keep him. :D

I really did enjoy it. Really. Thank you to Smurf. ;)

Over and out,

Gloves. xx

Universities Galore. And small children.

School again. Though it was relatively okay. Lessons are fun and some of them hold my remote interest.

Monday entailed the Fridge-Freezer breaking down, winning at flute, and entertaining many small children all evening.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Tuesday (19th) it was the UCAS evening. Smurf came over and we watched the football together along with the rest of the "football gang" who always make the match 10 times funner. :P
I sat between Smurfadoodle and The Father. Every time the name "Gerrard" was mentioned I was surrounded by echoing choruses of "Steeevieee Geee" followed by "Gerrrard" in quite terrible scouse accents... and it cracked me up every time. XD
Anywho, the game was good. :) Winning meant we didn't have to face spain. Then again, now we're facing Italy.... Yeah.... Perhaps I can just support Italy now? I mean... I am quarter Italian..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On le Wednesday, le New Girl came over. Her nickname hence-forth shall be Shelly. So yes. Shelly came over. It was the most fun I have had in ages. :P We walked le dog and went for an extremely long walk, touring round the village and talking about nothingness, but the conversation was still awesome. (I have no idea how, my stutter was playing up quite a bit that day! D:)
Uh, we got back, went up to my room... and just chatted. Literally. For ages. It was just.. yeah... drunken tales (from her) and embarrassing stories (from the both of us) and discussing interests and dislikes. I want to go rock climbing with her. :) She said she'd take me some time. ^_^ We also started discussing what we should do, and I 'm not too sure how we got there.. but, we came to the conclusion of: When someone asks "Do you want to watch a movie?" It means they are planning on stabbing you..... XD
After we decided that we should probably do something other than talk, we wandered down to the games room, only to be called for dinner. Which consisted of Scampi, Chicken bites, A single lamb chop, Three fillet stakes, some vegetables and milk. Oddest array of foods served in one meal... ever. It was pretty damn awesome. XD
After eating, Shelly and I went back upstairs and sat in my cuddly corner (not cuddling - that was obviously not allowed) and played some guitar. Well, I played guitar and she sang along. :D And then I taught her a two chords and we sang a song together that only needed two chords. :D I heart that song muchly. ('Anyone else but you.' In case you were wondering...)
Then she showed me this song and asked me to learn it for her. It is a great song (and every time I hear it I am reminded of the story of her singing along to it, while drunk, very loudly in the street, on a bicycle..... :P One of the best mental images ever. :D) so I shall try my best to play it.

So yes. It's about someone wanting to be cremated and thrown into London's drinking water so he can become part of everyone and eventually the world. >:D Muahahah. Not a bad way to remain on earth....
Uh yeah. We watched a couple of ASDF Movies and then Shelly departed. :(

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Owen came over for tea on Thursday... Which was reeeeally odd. It reminded me of the old Mondays when mom baby-sat him. He used to come over and we'd sit in the garden (in the summer) and just talk. I sort of miss that. It was those times before everyone was stereotyped into their cliques and I wasn't "uncool" to be with.... :/

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



On Friday I went to the Birmingham University Open Day. :)
I didn't see anyone I knew but it didn't really matter.
We arrived a little late because mothers car was playing up. (She had to drive because Father got stuck in Germany the night before due to a huge storm. He had to sit on the plane for 3 hours before they told everyone that take-off wasn't possible... He got to a hotel at 1 in the morning [the close hotels were all full] and had to get back to the airport by 5. He got 2 hours sleep and hadn't eaten since breakfast the day before. I'm pretty sure dad hates his job. He want's to quit, but then mom wouldn't be able to go on holiday and she needs the sun - otherwise she becomes unbarable in the winter. >_>) Aaanyways, got a lift in with Embo who was driving to school anyways. I can't believe she's going to university next year! O.o
Uh, so yeah. The talks were excellent. Mother couldn't come in with me to the first one. And I asked a question!!! :D I actually put my hand up and asked a question, to an adult, in a room full of people. *proud moment*.....God I'm sad.
So yeah. Went on a tour of the Physio-therapy block which was pretty cool, though not quite as good as Bornemouth. It was still really interesting.
Father joined us at the Halls tour.
Most of them were great and in one the beds were actually huuuge. Well, huge compared to all of the previous ones. They all had good views. Pretty nice. So yeah. We also found out that at the top of each block there were apartments for couples to share, complete with double beds and wifi. (ooer) :P Wound Father up a bit with that information. XD
So yeah. All in all it was a pretty nice place. It's a toss up between bornemouth and birmingham as my first choice now. Originally it was Birmingham, but now I'm not so sure.....
Got back, at dinner and watched the fooball. Poor father was falling asleep. He missed a couple of goals because even though I shouted in his ear, he didn't respond. The only way to wake him was to tickle his feet. :P
So after the match, Embo and I carried on with a puzzle that the women of the house had been doing during the match.
We stayed up until 2 to complete it. At 1, we caught the 1'o'clock Hysteria and giggled manically about nothing for the next hour. XD We also became obsessed with pieces of the puzzle. Embo with chimneys and sky, and me with a single man sitting on a bench and the green pole "of doom" :P. And we suceeded! We left the mothers a little note too. :D

------------------------------------------We stand Triumphant-------------------------------------------

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So yeah. Left in the morning and set off for land of the Scouses.
Liverpool was great.
When we arrived we had a great chat with a couple of the lectures and I did some more chatting (to adults!). Went to a couple of lectures.
Someone stopped me on the stairs as we were leaving and said: "You were at Birmingham yesterday weren't you?" I must've looked like a deer caught in headlights as I nodded and ran away as fast as I could! :P I couldn't understand how I was recognisable. For Birmingham I'd been wearing a fairly normal jeans and hoodie. But at Liverpool I was wearing my "goth" look - complete with make-up and different hairstyle. It creeped me out for a while before I realised that I was wearing odd shoes both days: one white one purple... which probably gave me away..... :P
Went for a campus tour (without mother because of her bad heel) and it was amazing. Physiotherapy was situated in the centre of the "old university" buildings and the architecture was amazing. So cozy and awesome. I loved it.
Went for a Halls tour after that. God, it was hideous. All of the Halls were really ropey. Father said I could live in a house in my first year if I went here. That's how bad they were. Apparently they weren't worth the money they were asking for. But yeah. Apart from the Halls, everything else in Liverpool was awesome and I loved it.
Such a shame about the year 1 course. :/ If only there was practical placement in the first year, it would be my first choice, no doubt about it. Hmph.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On le Sunday we went to visit fathers school friend and family. Mother saw what I was wearing and just shook her head... XD
So yeah. We arrived and shortly afterwards, I was dragged upstairs by Alice to play a game. She's 5. At first, she showed me where everything in her room was. And then we made a beach out of scarves. Then she wanted to play dress up, so she put on a fairy outfit and tried to make me wear a dog suit but 'unfortunately' it didn't fit me so she settled with me wearing wings.
Went down to eat our starter and then I was ushered back up to play again. This time she wanted to do my hair. Why I agreed I shall never know. So yeah. It was put into about 6 bobbles and made to stick out everywhere. And then I had to become a tiger.... >_> Complete with hat and tail. One of the most embarrassing moments of my life - I was dragged downstairs by a 5 year old, to show off my tiger suit to the rentals...
That mortifying experience was made fractionally better when Harley (the 3 year old son) used Le Brother as a climbing frame. XD I'm going to put up another picture because it was so funny... :D

Makes me laugh every time. What made it better was Le Brothers panicked face. XD You could just see the "What the hell am I meant to do with this small person?!" in his eyes. :P 

So yeah. We ate dinner and went back up to play another game. I changed out of my tigeress costume and we made a cat out of scarves, lego and hats. I must admit - I found that more fun than I should have. :L 

Alice became a tiger and forced me, Harley and Le Brother to be "rock stars". Seriously. For a 5 year old she was exceptionally bossy. :P 

Played hide and seek - again, more fun than I should have. I need to convince everyone to play hide and seek some time. It will be so cool!!! :D Perhaps at my birthday party....? 

Anywho, during that game, Harley pulled my hair and stole my phone. I told him off and he looked at me with his adorable blue eyes and said "I'm so sorry." and then proceeded to kiss me ...on the lips.... O.o One of the oddest experiences ever. I got child spit on my face. D: O.O

So yes... he kept my phone after that. I kept having to check if Smurf had texted me again, which is hard to do when a child runs away with it every time you get near enough to grab it. 

We ate desert [well everyone else did... It was chocolate mousse. :( ] and then returned to Alices room so I could become a witch/carpet monster combo and chase them around the house. 

I was extremely upset when father came up and told me we were leaving. Perhaps even more upset than the children! :P 

So yeah. We said goodbye after several hugs. 

Just before we left, Le Brother managed to knee Harley in the face and punch Alice in the eye. How the hell he managed to do so much damage in a short amount of time I shall never know. But what I do know is that he's probably going to come back as a fly in his next life for those actions. 

Got back to the house and watched the Italian Job. I forgot how funny it was. :P 

The match was captivating. Father was shouting like a fog horn in my ear. Plus every time he said "Gerrard" I was compelled to reply with "Steeeeviee Gee!" Damn my boyfriend. :P 

I also updated my status more than I have in a couple of months. XD But yeah. We made it all the way to penalties. Our luck just sucked from there. 

Ahh well. Not the end of the world... eh....? ....*proceeds to bawl eyes out and then tear off England shirt with nails and teeth*. Yeah. 

Talked with Smurf for a little while after he called me. Did a bit of puzzle while he showered, and then had an odd conversation with him which ended up very strangely... I actually have no idea what is happening now. But I've decided that if I don't hear from him today then I'll just have to accept that I can't go tomorrow, seeing as I have no lift. I hate Penelope. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So yeah. This morning I slept in until the fridge guy arrived. Started playing guitar again and completed the blog post. Talked to Smurf a little too.

Loaded the new fridge with mother and made toasties for the family (bar the brother who is at school... mauhahaha!) with the toastie pouches for the first time ever.... it was cool and I have no idea why. XD

I shall probably do some flute, and write my Personal Statement today. It has to be done some time. 

Bleh.

Football and The Family

So, this week;

I went back to school.
It was actually better than I thought it would be. :P

On Friday I made a split-second second decision to go to Smurfs to watch the football. And then fretted about the bus all the way there.
I really hate how I get stupidly nervous at the most ridiculous of things.
Gah.
Anyway. Got back to his, uhrm... Discussed the whole "how am I going to get home" issue with his rentals and ended up trying to call my mother... several times, unsuccessfully, so instead I called the house and talked to my father.
Got several angry texts and missed calls from my mother so I just decided to remove my signal all together to save me from her wrath.
Then we played top trumps again? A lot.....
Ate McDonalds, which was yummy. I got a happy meal! :D
And I made a squirrel box and named him Terrence and started growing cress in him. His cress is growing nicely by the way. There is already a lot of green. ^_^

So yeah, went back to Smurfs room and did... lots of stuff... mostly in the bathroom... oui....
And then we watched DR. WHO!!! (The one with Amy and Vincent :P) I like that episode. :)
Until the football.
And then we watched the football.
It took til the first goal for me to stop getting distracted by random things in my mind. But then we screamed a little and sat right in front of the screen. :P
We shouted a lot. I feel sorry for peoples ears.
I also got something right that Smurf disagreed with so in his face. Bleh.
Uurghm.... Texted Emily and arranged a lift with her because she is a wonderful person and I love her.
And basically thats it.
Got home. Discussed the match with the guys and then went to bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Only to be woken up at half 5 in the morning so we could get to Bornemouth on time for a talk.
It was terrifying to start with.
I had to speak to people on my own in a talk on my own. And I was freaking out just slightly.
But it went well... The talks were interesting and the tour we had with the Physiotherapy student was fantastical, I mean, the sillabus looks fantastic. Really "hands on - touchy feely". :)
We got a tour of the student dorms too, as well as the rest of the town. I swear there are like 60 million clubs in Bornemouth. I counted at least 10 in the places that we visited. The privately owned uni-club looks awesome as well. ^-^
I saw the see! I haven't seen the British sea for god knows how long... I think it was the last time I visited Kit... Which was.. sometime..... Yeah. Whatever. I like the sea. :)

So yeah, it looks great.

At 6 we met some of dads "new" family (who live in Bornemouth) and had dinner with them. I spent basically talking to Alex (my dads cousin) who is 32 and has the most adorable baby EVER(!) and Josh (my second cousin - once removed) who is 19 and extremely awesome. Hilarious, both of them. :D Especially Josh. He assured me we'd become great friends. ^-^

So yeah, dinner went smoothly and at about 8:30 we left.
Took us 3 hours to get back and I was shattered. I literally wanted to fall into bed and sleep immediately, but I was talking to Smurf and didn't want to say goodbye, it would have been rude.

So yes. Saturday was a great day. And I don't think I'm as worried about going to University anymore.... :)

Also, it was Kierbears birthday today! :P 17 years old! (Such a big boy now, I may weep *wipes imaginary tear from eye ;'D).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunday.

I did nothing much of interest.
Watered the seeds in Terrence. They have little shoots now, and I swear I can see them growing! :L

Tidied my room and sorted out my iPod songs (finally) before doing some pattern tracings for my new projects.
I just have too many new ideas right now.
So much stuff to do with no time to do it in.
I want to make a duct tape dress and shoes.
I want to make a halter top.
I want to make some denim leg warmers.
I want to make a Hollie Doll. (Which I have now started.)
I want to knit my scarf and hat and Knitted Character.
I just don't know what to start first!
Plus I need materials to do all of the stuff so... on Monday I shall venture into town and raid the charity shops! :D

Urm... what else happened today?

I watched Arthur online.... because I wanted to...

I peeled potatoes and carrots for dinner.

Taught my Auntie Claire how to use Word and how to make a Powerpoint presentation. She didn't even know how to write in a text box bless her!

Ate dinner with Nan and Grandad and Auntie Claire and the family.
Grandad's still not any better. :/ Everyone is really worried about him. He can't even walk across a room any more without getting out of breath. :(

So yeah. Returned to my room and did more of the Hollie Doll while talking to people (Kierbear and I had a fantastical chat! :D) And Jassy and I decided that we would swap bodies for a couple of weeks. :P

So yeah. School again tomorrow.... Yay....

Burghley House Jubilee Picnic!

So, today was the (potenteally only) day that I saw the Queen in real life. And it was pretty damn epic. :P
Plus I MISSED SCHOOL! (Bam. :P)

Got up at 7. Moped about the house feeling shite for about an hour, before realising we were leaving in ten minutes, and therefore dressed in a lightly panicked manner, (managed to get away with wearing my converse though! :D).

Arrived at 9:30 and made our way to the V.I.P. tents to meet Sally and secure a space along the front row. The rain eased off and we eventually sorted everything out and chatted to Sally for ages. Seeing as she's married to Dominic (The Deputy Sheriff of Northamptonshire) she was able to call some Red Arrows guys over to get signed copies of programmes and such. {If Smurf wants one I may give it to him because I'm not really interested in the flying stuff. But bleh.} We ended up chatting to Barrie Ramsden for at least half an hour, if not more. XD He just kept giving us stuff so now I have posters, stickers, leaflets, booklets and programmes galore. He was very nice to us actually. :) Talked with Sally a little longer and discussed the Northants Tent (containing some shoes from the shoe museum.... >_>). Sally eventually had to go and mingle with the posh people, and therefore left us. A nice man stood next to us who was the driver for some important Sheriffy person and informed us of the Queens plan for the day (seeing as he was at the rehearsal yesterday). He was very nice and didn't go and mingle with the posh people for nearly the whole thing, so kept us updated with everything that was going on. ^_^

Anyway, we listened to the entertainment (the Big Band that Dobson was playing in ^_^) until the helicopter arrived. We watched Lizzy 'plant a tree' (shovel three scoops of dirt into a hole) and meet the family that owned Burghley House, before she rode past everyone in her car. We were at the tents so she stopped about 20 metres away from us so that the Queen could walk past each tent and greet people. So the passed literally 3 feet next to us! :D (She is short. Heh.)

So yeah, we had to wait a while for her to walk to her lunch tent and that was basically it... Yeah... We ate our lunch, and then stood back up to have photos and video taken and yada yada. Haven't been bothered to check the website and stuff yet, and I don't think I will. I was squinting in most of them. 

So yeah. Queenie came back out and stood on a podium while some guy made a speech, walked along beside the regular folk (us) briefly, and then left for Corby. :) 

Watched N perform (he was awesome) and then saw the Red Arrows and the... Blades? (I think... Something like that anyway.) perform some Aerobatics. That was veeeery awesome. :D 

Soon after that, we left to avoid the rush of people leaving, but we did manage to see the Spitfires from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at RAF... something... (Whatever. They were planes. Old planes.) ...do some flying stuff as we walked back to the car. ^_^ 

If I can be bothered I will put some pictures and videos on here one day... 

So yeah, an enjoyable day. 

Got back and walked billy (Still in my dress and stuff - slightly embarrassing...) and then went to Kettering to get a job. Hopefully, by next month I will have at least two jobs... but hey, we shall see. 

Urhm... Yeah... Ate, sorted photos, watched football and did some drama. 

I am happy about this day, very happy. 

Over and out,

Town on Tuesday

Pretty normal day.

Had Psychology, Drama and Chemistry today. And surprisingly they were all generally good, even chem! :P

Went completely crazy at lunch, had an absolutely amazing time literally talking with everyone, chatting and laughing at completely insane things. As per usual I cannot remember what the hell we were talking about, but I know it gave me a happy buzz, and that was nice. ^_^

Left school and walked to town with Le Twin and Nerd (as well as Jono and Tobias briefly. :D)
Went shopping for school resources, as well as dressing up in many very very very tall platform (neon coloured) shoes, posing for Hatter while she "worked" (looking up and laughing every 5 seconds :P). That was very fun.

TOPSHOP HAD NO BRAS LEFT! D: The bra rack was completely empty apart from a pink floral one and a black one... so I couldn't get undies :( (The rest of the shops were super expensive. Blehrgh.)

Got a lift from Hatters mommy to drop Hatters work off at Tresham and to take us to the bowling alley. There we waited for my mom, got changed, and used vouchers for "Free bowling and food for 6." So naturally we took the food and left... XD Twin and I had two burgers each... Yeah... We convinced ourselves that we'd burn off the calories by working extra hard at dance. And because we convinced ourselves so well, we ate a packet of haribo too... O.o We really will get fat. Ahh well. Dance today was funner than it has been for a long time. Basically we had a cover teacher who didn't realise we came from a different class and therefore couldn't understand why we kept doing moves in a slightly different way to the rest of them. :P And then she tried to 'baby' us. Which we both hated. Twas okay though, because we just carried on with what we had been taught regardless... as well as having a karate fight when her back was turned... XD I got so many dust patches on my arse!

Seeing as we were both buzzed up by sugar, when she asked what words meant, I kindof went mental and acted like Hermione Granger - hand shooting up and jumping around like a loon on loon tablets. She did pick me though... Which I felt good about. XD

So yeah. Came out and smothered Cinnamon for a while before getting home with Hatters mom.

Came back and immediately started my Doctor Who nails. ^_^ I like them a lot.

Started blogging and then went off to sort out my dress for tomorrow at mothers orders. >_> I don't want to wear a dress. I want to wear jeans and a t-shirt. Blah. So yeah, I'm wearing a blue and white stripy dress with converse (and spare heels if mother wants me to look smart). :)

So yeah. Nails done. Outfit done. Picnic done. And now it's shower time to wash me 'air. Yay.

See ya tomorrow Lizzy Windsor!
