Number 64 - Grand Canyon Trip (plus my birthday! :D)

:O YAYNESS, I am officially 16! :L
The Twin and I are twins once more ^^
We woke up pretty early but I didn't mind. We caught a minibus to a small airport outside of Las Vegas. We had to wait there for a little while but I didn't mind that either. I browsed the gift shop with mother and discussed the Yogpod with le guys. XD Funny times.
It started to rain and we were warned that things could be cancelled if it was too rainy/lightening/thundering. :/
We got on the "midget plane" as dad called it and it was amazingly small XD It could only fit about 20 people at the most in it. Luckily there were only 6 of us. :) Flew over the land between LV and the Grand Canyon.
We arrived a little late and so were rushed straight onto the helicopter. :) I was allocated to sit at the front with the pilot!!! He was a very cool pilot and wished me a happy birthday. Once we'd flown over and down into the canyon we caught a boat ride down the river for a little while. Mom gave me another charm for my bracelet reading "sweet 16". We floated with the current, took pictures and then caught another helicopter (again at the front with the pilot - who was listening to some funky music :P) lol.

Went to the skywalk (via bus) - a horse-shoe shaped walkway made of glass that went right over the edge of the canyon. :D We looked right over to see 4000 meters down to the bottom. It was INCREDIBLE! :)

Another bus then took us to find FOOD! (And the bus driver was very nice and sang me a happy birthday too. :D) But yeah, NOM! Well... it was like school cafeteria food but whatever, it's still food. We had a good view of another part of the canyon (well it is 10 miles long, so you can't see it all at once ;) ). Took some photos before rushing to catch the 12:45 bus to keep from missing our flight.

Ended up waiting for half an hour for the plane to arrive ¬_¬ Had to watch a safety video over and over and over and over and over and over again. D: Oh, and le Brother noticed my wrists..... It seems scarred tissue tans better than old stuff.... therefore making them stand out. He told mom, I denied it - tried to persuade them it was just Angus but I don't know whether they really believed me or not... Still, she just ignored us as per usual... :/ So yeah, I need my gloves back. :(

We caught "Midget Airlines" and marvelled at the spectacular views, trying to ignore the tension in the air. When we landed I bought a handmade American Indian dream catcher and a spinner ring with moons and stars on it for my necklace. :)

After waiting for an hour for the bus we eventually got back to the hotel, at which point mom dragged us over to the neighbouring hotel and gave me a birthday treat. The live theatre performance of The Lion King!!! XD
The Brother and Father couldn't go because we didn't have enough money... but still... it was incredible. As the animals came down the aisles right beside us singing "The Circle of Life" I was fighting back tears. Just wow. Words cannot express it. ^^

Afterwards we stopped for a photo. A 'kind' man offered to take a photo of both of us together, so me agreed. Shortly afterwards he invited us to ride on his "magic carpet" - a green screen simulator - and obviously mother couldn't refuse and so we both rode on a magic carpet together on my 16th birthday... XD Not many people can say THAT. We also promised that we'd return and buy a picture/DVD when we 'went-and-got-money-from-the-husband'. We had to avoid that corner for the rest of the evening... :P

We returned to the hotel room, and while waiting for le Brother and Father to return from wherever they were, I looked on Facebook and e-mails. There were so many notifications!!! Horrifying! Still, all of the messages were lovely. :)

The boys eventually returned and we decided to EAT! Nom! Funnles. XD I took Boofle with me because he was too cute to leave behind. ^-^ Oooooh! Did I mention that mom made me wear a MAHUSIVE bagde for the whole day?! No? Well I have now. It was embarrassing. But fun. :)

Anyways, we went to the Pyramid Cafe and got meals. I ate some Quesadillas - well, by some I mean half of one cut into 4 :P It was simply delectable.

The Brother and I returned to the room, I went on Fb and talked to O while mom and dad went off to gamble.

I must say, this was one of the best birthdays EVER in my life (so far). XD
Spent the rest of my night completing my book.

Number 63 - Onward to Vegas!

I had another weird dream last night.... Okay, so Hatter and I were at Obamas House, chatting with him and listening to his strategy for the debt crisis. Then I found his model car set and started playing with it but mom told me off so I walked off and found O. We went sailing and people kept shouting out, asking me for advice on what to do in the debt crisis so I drifted off and O, Hatter and I went and stood with Obama to tell the whole of America our idea. Like I said, weird.

We drove the rest of the way to LV today. I read the whole way there (a whole book in the "Fallen" series) only stopping to listen to some songs that I have fallen in love with = "One and Only" and "Knocked Down", two very different and interesting songs. :)

We arrived at the "Vegas Strip" which is where all the famous hotels are with the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty and The Pyramid (which was our destination). It is black and shiny and is made of windows and all in all it is awesome. And we are staying in it! :D
We dropped off our luggage and le Father and I went out to drop the car off at the rental place, which we did after driving round for 15 minutes trying to find it. Dad forced us to get the shuttle bus to the airport and then to the hotel because he didn't want to pay for a cab. Still, we had time to talk about stuff and since it was now officially the start of my 32 hour birthday (in England - it was only 4 in the afternoon in America) I got all excited. :) It took Father and I longer than expected but we did get another few good photos of the hotels. :)

I took a picture of the inside of the pyramid (which is theoretically wrong because it looks more like a Mayan temple than an Egyptian one but ahh well, what can you do eh?). Mom and le Brother welcomed us in and showed me the table layed out by the windows, covered with cards and a couple of presents ^-^ Epical! :) I heart my family (sometimes.... ;P)
In other news, Le Brother found a packet of Viagra while in search for the internet cable on top of the wardrobe... XD
I Fb'd with X and O before I was shuffled out of our room and into the expanse of the "tomb". We got lost, but eventually found our way to a buffet. :D I didn't eat a lot, but everyone else said that it was delicious.
Walked through the different hotels which was cool - New York and MGM and Excalibur. They all had smokey casinos in though, which we had to walk through, which started to make me feel a little sick :/ After walking past a few, getting on a monorail, and walking again in the humid air I really started to feel ill. Watched a volcano "explode" and looked at the lovely decorations in the Venetian (with the gondolas) - which reminded me of Hatter once again. I felt like I was about to puke so mother suggested we get a cab back up the 1 mile stretch back to the hotel to save me from walking. I was ready to agree with anything that got us back by then.
Feeling all sweaty and not being able to breathe properly, I somehow made it to the cab station. We got in line and once I sat down in the cool air of the AC I felt a little better again.
He dropped us off and I rushed up to the hotel room. After brushing my teeth and changing into my discovery cove t-shirt (Hatters twin one we use) and Fbing people "thank-yous", I went to sleep. Or tried to anyways.

Number 62 - Weirdest Dream. Ever.

Basically I dreamt that I took some people on holiday with me: M, L, Nerd, Some popular guy I've never seen before, Zilla, Hatter, (Moi) and Some popular girl that I've also never seen before.
It was like a mixture of  the school and the fair to the airport and then suddenly we were in Umbria. Why we were in Umbria I have no idea. We just were. We each had allocated rooms and sometimes we snuck into one anothers room and chatted. One time I snuck into M and L's room and we talked and had great fun. I can't remember why, I just know it was. :P I've drawn a little picture in my diary actually... So I'll copy it on paint so I can remember it or something... It was just really weird.

Le House plan in Umbria....? 

So yeah. Woke up from... That... and got on the road again. Spent 3-4 hours listening to the YogPod once again and read too.
Stopped off in Fresno and had a tour of these really interesting underground gardens. The guy who created them used to live underground with them... which was slightly strange, but still, it was awesome. He hand dug all of these tunnels and groves and grew loads of trees for about 50 acres. It really was amazing. His house actually reminded me of Hatter (everything seems to be reminding me of her recently, I think it's a mixture of the guilt of missing her B-day yet again and the fact that we've been apart for longer than we usually are when I go abroad), but yeah, I think it was the fact that it was cosy and handmade and I miss her more now.
So that was cool. Got back in the car and I did yet more reading. It reached 100°F as we got further south. I can't even imagine what it would be like if we didn't have the AC. You can tell by the windows though (which are boiling) how hot it is outside.

A bit of excitement along the way included a motorcyclist with his arse showing and the tire on the truck in front of us blowing up. Thanks to dads expert driving (and swerving) skills though, we managed to avoid getting hit (and potentially crushed) by the flying debris. 'Twas quite exciting actually XD

Ate at a "country western" bar after checking in and once I'd checked Fb, le Brother and I went swimming. I shared an awful lot of information with him that I shouldn't have but he returned the same secrets so I guess that was alright. He did say that he suspected I was bi though. Of course I didn't say yes because at the bar we'd all had another one of those "Homophobic vs Homosexual" arguments, and no-one won as-per-usual.

Meh. I feel really bad that I'm lying to my family but it's not like I can tell them without them taking me to a psychiatrist or something. :/ Ahhh well, I guess that's how life is. I might talk to Nerd about it. He always seems to know what to do. :)

Number 61 - Tree Hugging!

The Brother and I listened to the Yogpod in the car again today. They are HILARIOUS! I was annoying mother my constant laughter it was that funny. XD I might recommend it to my friends...

Saw these Giant Sequoya Trees today. They were EPICALLY AWESOME!!! I stood underneath them and felt like I was a mouse or something. That thought changed when I realised what it would be like if I was BLUE..... SMURF!!!! I hummed the theme tune all the way along the the pathway until Le Brother gave me a dead arm. :P
We followed the trail all the way to the fallen tree (the one they used to drive a carriage through O.o) and back - in total that was about 5 miles. Up. Hill. ¬_¬ Obviously we got lost once or twice but that's like the norm for us. :P But yeah, we got loads of pictures and le brother and I spent a while climbing inside the trees and exploring. :D
The trees were amazing though, and I started the tree hugging phase. Hugging a HUUUGE tree is great fun. :D
Afterwards, I went into this little museum about the old town and watched a blacksmith make a horses head out of metal. 'Twas COOOOOOL!

We returned home, ate - our waiter was the same as the time before and carried on saying "cheers". :D We said cheers when he gave us our drinks, just to make him happy. ^-^
Le Brother and I went swimming and daaaayum! The guys there were like... super toned and tanned! O.O  Hah. T and T... they had the 'T' factor. XD I just made a joke. I giggled at it. I am sad.
Anyway, they were hot.

They left and I had no reason to stay after that so we headed back to the room where we had... a family jacuzzi... Weirdest. Experience. Ever. Mom filled it with bubble bath, but the bubbles kept rising! It got to the point where I couldn't see my Father who was on the other side, literally 2 feet away.... So mother quickly got out. I stayed in and washed my hair which destroyed most of the bubbles.
Watched a movie - "Bedtime Stories" and typed up a blog, but there was no internet -_- so I couldn't upload it. :( Ahh well.

The Brother kept being disgusting and farting right next-to me so I had to leave the bed a couple of times.
Read a little and updated my blog.

Gloves. xx

P.S. I have noticed a LOT of CAPITALS today. I wonder why.

Number 60 - Yosemite Falls

Visited the falls today. :) The views were fantastically beautiful, unfortunately mom left my camera in the bag and wouldn't let me bring the bag with us and so I didn't get any pictures. :( Used moms bad one instead.
We basically spent the day driving around through forests, although we did stop for an ice cream. :D
We also had a good talk from a ranger about black bears. 'Twas really interesting :D He was a great speaker, although he was interrupted by a woman falling out of her caravan. We think she broke her wrist. :/

Saw the fifth largest waterfall in the world: Yosemite (You-sem-it-ee) Falls. It wasn't that spectacular but le Brother and I climbed the rocks along the side to touch the spray. That was really awesome. We got a bit wet though and I almost slipped off the edge a couple of times....

The Mother and I also had a talk about how I was conceived (the whole fertility treatment thing) and what that might mean for me.... :/ I do hope I can have kids.
This time I remembered to ask when I was due - late at night on the 26th of July! I could have been born on the 27th! Damn my lateness. :P

We arrived back at the room and I internetted until my time ran out. Unfortunately, no-one else was online. :(
Ate pizza in the room and went to bed after reading a little more.

P.S. Merry Birthday Twin!

Number 59 - A Goodbye and A Journey.

Went to the market this morning. K bought me a "foxy" t-shirt which was sweet of him ^_^. I also bought a belt which I love. :) Got a few photos on a bench before we decided we finally had to part. We said our goodbyes, then I realised that I'd left my purse and Laptop bag underneath the bench XD so K and I sprinted back, luckily they were still there. :) Said goodbye again - including several hugs from K. And then we left. :(

The journey was long, so long that I had to first wish Hatter a Merry Birthday at 4 (midnight in England) and then at 5 I sent a text. :P I just couldn't wait. XD
Went swimming with le Brüder for about 1 and a half hours he got scared of the "pedo" who was watching us, so we got out. Ate dinner, the waiter was very nice and kept saying "cheers - apparently all english people say it instead of thank you? Who knew, eh? :P

I was shocked and worried to discover that wi-fi had to be paid for and was only accessible in the lobby!?! D: The one day when I needed it and they refused access!!!
I had to make do with internetting for an hour after dinner, listening to le Brother moan at how unfair it was that he had to sit with me ¬_¬. Still, I hope my Twin had a good day and got everything that she wanted. :)

Number 58 - HARRY POTTER!!!!

Went to the mall today.
After talking to O briefly on Skype and Ninja briefly on Fb we left (in our huuuuuuge Hummer). It's about 40 minutes away on winding roads... so that was very entertaining. :)
I bought some more shoes and so did le Brother and le Mother. Other than that it was fairly uneventful. We returned home and I watched the newest episode of True Blood. Read a little on Wattpad when the Rentals went out to the beach.
Talked to Hatter for ABSOLUTELY AAAAAGES! :D We were chatting and emailing simultaneously. 'Twas awesomes. We had a huge catch-up.
And then we left for the movie theatre.... EEEEEK!!! :D :D :D

After entering the wrong screen, we finally got comfy in our seats... XD
OMG THE FILM WAS..... Breathtaking! I cried from Snapes death until the very end... D: It was amazing, almost everything I thought it would be..... Apart from the minor detail about the diadem not melting in the flames, everything else was brilliant! :)
Freds death got me thinking though. I really couldn't ever lose my twin, ever. She's like the rock in my life. My other half. I feel a scary amount of reliance on her and if anything happened to Hatter I have no idea what I would do. End of.

On the journey home, I rode in the trunk: lack of seats once again. I thought an awful lot about my friends, next school year, and HP. Though my thoughts were interrupted at least 8 times when the car screeched to a halt as a deer leapt onto the road. Luckily we didn't hit any of them. :)

I felt a little depressed all day actually, apart from the HP moments - though my mood was dampened when I thought of the Twin back in England. :/
I think the buzz of feeling my burdens being lifted and the happiness of meeting up with K has finally worn off. :( I had a little lapse in Monterey (as previously documented) but this time I don't know why. D:

Number 57 - Le Friends

Straightened K's hair once again - though this time he was shooting a gun so I sortof had to straddle him a bit.. :P Anyway, I think I'm getting better at it now.
Shot a couple of target boxes with a shotgun while in my nightie - I'm getting better at that too! :D
Kierans friends came over for dinner. I was a bit nervous about meeting them because I wasn't too sure of what they'd be like, but after a few awkward moments between us all.... It was actually pretty okay. ^_^

When a couple of them had arrived we walked down to collect Nat B from the station, but we set off too late and actually met Ty and Nat B halfway there. :) We all then traipsed back to K's house and I straightened Nat L's hair which actually looked quite good with straight hair.
Anyways, after dinner we all descended to the basement (where more guns were fired) and I straightened the rest of the guys' - Ty, Nat B and Peter - hair (even though they were more reluctant than Nat L :P).

Eventually we got too noisy so the rentals kicked us out and we headed down to the beach house. Le journey there was fantastically interesting.... Consisting of grape fights and mini scooter races (though those had to stop in the end because the wheels fell off... XD) 'Twas truly hilarious!!!
We arrived and trampolined barefoot for a little while. After it began to get both dark and late, we settled with just talking about the many differences between the two countries. They're all extremely fun to talk to though :) It's a shame I'll probably never see them again. :/ (Though Nat B and K may be coming to England next year!!! :D)
OOOOHH! I forgot to tell you. K might be going to college/uni in England in 2 years time! ^_^ So I might see a lot more of him. :D

Someone found some waterguns.... so naturally a water fight ensued. The guys ran around getting soaked and squealing like little girls before we all decided that talking would be more practical at this time of night... XD
Though during the talk, I reaslised that I can't become close to K.... because he lives thousands of mines away and I can't afford to class him as a close friend, because when I get back to England, I'd break down without his company... :/
Eventually we decided to leave and at midnight Peters dad picked us in his truck. We piled onto the back and he took us on a trip on the surrounding hillside roads. Standing up made you feel like you were flying and K held onto me as we all stood laughing together.
I vowed that it would be the last time I let myself get really close to him. It was.

We got back exhausted, I said goodbye to the temporary (:/) friends I'd made and we got ready for bed.
So at 1:00 in the morning, K fetched me from my room and we all watched "The Hangover" together. XD 'Twas awesome (and Le Brother and I spotted the hotel we'll be staying at in the background too! :P)

Number 56 - Le Market.

Woke up at 9 today.... Longest lie in EVER! Well... ever on this holiday anyways. :P
The fact that I was woken by the sound of gunfire wasn't that appealing though....
We had to unpack the suitcases before we could get dressed and go to the farmers market so once I'd retrieved my clothing I joined K and Le Brother in the basement:- they were firing K's guns just outside of his bedroom (which was also in the basement) hence the gunfire that had awoken me from my slumber.

Walked around the Farmers Market for a while until K decided it was boring and proposed we visit his old school instead. We broke into the playing field and nommed on Rolos while sitting on a bench (though I was a little jittery seeing as it was trespassing and I really wasn't too keen on getting arrested... O.o)
Eventually we left and visited the bookshop. I bought an awesome recycled paper drawing book and "The tales of Brothers Grimm" - the original (and more gruesome) version of the fairy tales. XD

Quickly changed into my new swimsuit - boardies and a bikini top (I heart it muchly) - before leaving for the beach.
Trekked through the forest along a really winding pathway for ages before we emerged on the Jellyfish-infested-beach. Sunbathed with K for ages and took many pictures. :P That was extremitally fun. ^_^
On the way back, K and I chatted mindlessly about everything and caught up on oneanothers lives, before comparing handsizes - and ended up holding hands?
I realised I hadn't held anyones hand since the break-up... :/

Sat behind K and straightened his hair when we got back, before eating dinner and watching Hot Fuzz for the first time too :) Utterly awesome.

Over and out,

Number 55 - San Francisco!

Today was AWESOME!!! :D
K and his Mom were a little late but it was fine - I got more time to read. XD Admittedly, 'Twas a little awkward to begin with but after a while, everyone relaxed and K and I started le teasing once more. :P
We walked on the Golden Gate Bridge which everyone makes a fuss about (I don't know why because there's another one just down the river... but it's grey instead of red.
I mocked K and his accent and he returned the favour, but refused to do his British accent which was disappointing... :P It also meant he lost the "Mocking Battle" we have going on, meaning he will probably retaliate soon... :O
The Rentals took us to the heart of San Fran and we spent the day touring around the main "attractions" while teaching K all about English culture: - For example; explaining what a Chav was... :P He made me wear his "Chavy (as I called it) hat, which was too big for me and kept slipping down over my face [but I didn't mind because it smelt nice... :P], for most of the day and in the end I just tucked my hair up to make it stay on my head. :D
Took many photos and laughed at a couple of "gangsters" as K called them.

The Rentals insisted on going to a baseball game so after The Brother and K ate their Tacos we set off for the stadium. Getting in was a disaster because Sarah had left a ticket at home, but after many different trips to many different offices, standing in many different queues, we finally got in.
K and I got bored and started a poke war (which is still ongoing) and I bit his fingers quite a lot (which he was a little disturbed about to begin with but I think he's starting to accept it now, so.... that's fine... :P)
We also met three of his friends at the game and they're coming over on Sunday so.... Let the gaming commence!
After the baseball game (which the Giants lost) we set off back to the 'parking lot'. K gave in and did his British accent, which led to us both experimenting with different accents the whole way back to the Hummer. I'd been riding in the boot for the journeys around the city (there were 6 of us trying to fit in a 5 seater car) so it was a relief when we got to Sarahs car and the two mothers got out. It meant I could poke K some more... :D

We stopped off at his dads house briefly to get some controllers and movies, though in the end he found neither and got a magazine for Le Brother instead - who'd fallen asleep in the front (bless him) :)
I must've had a little nap on the rest of the journey because I woke up with K's shirt draped over me so I didn't get cold, that was sweet of him. ^-^
We arrived at the house and he showed me around briefly - we searched through his stuff for a while - and I stole his HUUUUUUUGGGEEEEEE pillow/cushion thing (muahahahhaha!) before I went to bed and, surprisinly, fell asleep almost immediately.

It was a really good day. K kept hugging me and putting his arm around me all day which I initially thought was a bit weird (but who knows, perhaps le American people are more "touchy-feely" than back home? Maybe he's just a very nice guy. :P) Meh. I have concluded that K is extremely awesome, and much funner here than on Skype. XD

Number 54 - The Aquarium.

Visited the Aquarium today. It took almost an hour to park because all of the 1 way systems and hidden entrances meant we kept missing the car park and had to travel all the way round again. XD
The Aquarium was amazing. ^_^ We saw several types of fish and birds (penguins) get fed. The School of Sardines were fascinatingly beautiful - all fluxing together and the way they swam made it look like they were a single piece of silky material, fluttering in a breeze. :)
We also had a 'behind the scenes' tour from a lovely guy who volunteered there. Es war sehr sehr interessant. Full of fish... and stuffles... :P Although looking at the exhibits made me feel a little sea sick for some reason... :/
Ahhhh well, 'twas still enjoyable. :D
After the Aquarium, mother took me shopping (while the men slept) and I purchased some new school clothes ^-^. We got some awesome pictures of the boys sleeping on the bench before we shouted in their ears and made them wake up with a start. Lol. XD

We found a restaurant and ate, and the food was delicious. I ate LOADS! - literally, half a pizza and a whole piece of cake! O.o I have no idea how, but I did it. :P
I also read the whole day, in any intervals I found and managed to complete "Fallen". Excellent book. I would highly reccommend it to everyone I know, but I'm sure most of the readers in the group have already read the whole series by now anyways.

So yeah, had a shower and washed my hair, it was getting very sandy, then half listened to the news while starting to read the next book. I did go on my laptop (after stealing it back from the rest of the family) and checked Facebook to see if Hatter was on. She wasn't, which was both good and bad:- I wanted to talk to her , but she was hopefully sleeping for once. :)
Instead I watched "Tangled" which was muchos enjoyable. :D I actually laughed out loud at parts and then had to pause it to make sure no-one had woken up... XD Hatter and I MUST watch it together. It sounds childish but 'tis truly and incredibly funny. Lol.

Got to sleep around 11:30 american time. Wasn't too late, but then again:- tomorrow I'm getting up at 6:30 to leave for San Francisco as we have to get there by 10:30 to meet K and his mother...(!)

OMG I'M SEEING K TOMORROW! :O This is going to be.... I don't know. I'm just so used to not being able to talk to him and now we're going to be living together. It's strange. Still. I'm sure it will be fine. :)

Number 53 - On The Road Again

Drove for 6 and a half hours today to get to Monterey. A lot happened in that time though. The Rentals kept wanting to get out at laybys and take pictures of the views which started to get quite frustrating - apart from when there was something interesting to see:- Elephant Seals (which immediately reminded me of Happy Feet ^_^) and Goafers - (I fed one which was quite cool.)
The song "Angels" came on in the car and gave me a flashback of a huuuuge regret I have in my life:- Turning down M. I remember breaking up with Ninja for the second time (because I had been told he was cheating on me) and I didn't know how to keep him from hurting, so I said that I just wasn't ready to have a boyfriend at the time (when actually I still really liked another person [who never seems to disappear... ¬_¬ that prick.]) So about 30 minutes later, while sitting in a classroom already regretting the hurt I'd caused him, Lorraine came into the classroom saying that M wanted to "go out with me"(?!?!) like the immature asshole he is. And because of the sort-of-lie I'd told Ninja I physically couldn't say yes - hence he was rejected and probably a bit pissed off about it. The sad thing is, though at the time I told myself I wouldn't have agreed anyway, I really did want to say yes because apart from hurting me a lot and stealing my "first real kiss" in year 9, we never were that close again... :/ I wish I could go back and change that....

Aaaanyway, back to the now. I did some reading after that - started a new book. :) It's really good actually, leaves you wanting to know more. And then slept for a long while. Arrived at the hotel and after unpacking, we all went for a "nice walk".
I was tired and hungry and sunburned and I just wanted to get to town, so that 2 mile walk was a nightmare. We finally decided on a place and ate there but I still felt a little grumpy.
One thing led to another and mom and I got snappy with eachother. I had a key to the room so started to walk back down the path and reached the hotel in record time. :P It gave me a chance to think though... I even contemplated cutting again, I was that mad and upset.
The T.V. (when I returned after calming down enough to get blood out of my mind) was showing a programme on all of the English Royal Weddings which was fascinating and the longest I'd gone on this holiday listening souley to a British accent on the news. It brought back a bit of home sickness actually.
I read for the evening. That was it really. Also, I bought Hatter a present from America today. She probably won't like it but twas the only thing in the gift shop and it reminded me of her. Meh, should be okay.

Number 52 - Surfing U.S.A.

The family woke up too early for me today so I skipped breakfast with them and had a lie in. :) Unfortunately that meant that later when The Father and I went down to get me and egg and bagel (baaaaaaaagel anyone? ;P) there was a MAHUSIVE queue. Ahh well. 

The Brother and I had a mid-morning jacuzzi down by the pool. That meant we came back late and so we had to rush along to the surf shop to get our wetsuits and boards. 

The surf instructor met us on the beach and after going through the basics on the sand (and making us look like fools) we took to the waves. 

Surfing was... immense. When you caught the wave for the first time and went gliding through the water, you felt like you were flying. It was magic. Surprisingly, it was easy to stand on the board too. :) Catching the wave was the tricky part... It literally took about 10 minutes of crashing through high "fail waves" that spat salty spray in your face before a wave worth surfing came along. It was worth it though ^^ and I loved almost every moment of it (apart from almost drowning a couple of times :/) 

Anyway, de-sandified ourselves after we'd had enough and ate at a pub/resteraunt thingy. Hurried home ans we all had a go in the pool before realising how sunburnt we all were. Returned to the hotel room and had a long cold shower, which was excellent, as well as smothering myself in "after-sun" in an attempt to remove the red burntness that tinged my skin. 

Laptopped for the rest of the evening - checking Fb and reading Wattpad stories before going to sleep. Forgot to blog again. Silly me.

Number 51 - Le Beach

Long car journey today and a move of hotels once again :/ Slept most of the way there because we got up early to miss some of the traffic.
Everyone was a bit tense and grumpy when we left the car because people kept dropping things on the way to the hotel but everyone calmed down when we saw the room. 2 separate rooms - each with an en-suite. One had 2 double beds and the other a single king sized bed. Both contained T.V. sets. We were all extremely delighted XD
We all unpacked and 'bikini-fied' before setting off down the mountain path that led straight to the beach. Had a little paddle and caught a couple of rays (as well as catching the eyes of a few hot guys ;P). Headed into the town in search of food. Father located a fish and chip shop almost immediately and decided that we would eat there. No question about it. But we decided to wait until 4 when they had a 'happy hour' and therefore a price reduction (like the cheapos we are XP), so that left time for shopping. We found a little gift shop, the brother got a hat and I purchased a jumper declaring that I was a lifeguard on Pismo Beach (which will hopefully come in handy soon if I pass my lifesavers: Lifeguard Training Course after Soul Survivor) :D Ate at the chippy (I ordered a SMALL calimari which I still couldn't finish) and I also swallowed an Ice Cube. Not a very nice sensation :/ My throat was numb for a few minutes.
Walked back along the beach and tested a few of my accents which I hadn't tried in ages:- Irish, Scottish and American. The Brother wasn't too happy about that and gave me several dead arms because of them. :P

The Brother and I went swimming when we returned from the beach. That was good fun. We got back and mom stole my laptop to e-mail people (just as Hatter and K came online D:) ¬¬ I discovered the movie channel and that persuaded my Rentals and The Brother to move into the other room without my laptop to watch 127 Hours. I couldn't bare to watch it because I knew I'd probably be sick. :/ Instead I talked to Hatter until she (finally) slept. I'm really worried about her actually. She needs to get some proper sleep or she'll get ill :(
Watched a True Blood episode and read a little bit. After blogging I decided to get some sleep.

Felt a little "Meh" this evening actually. I looked through the photos on Facebook of everyone at E's get together and even though I'm having a great time here, I sometimes wish I was just with my friends at that get together. I suppose if people start discussing it then I'll just have to talk to M about something else. At least I'm not the only one who missed out. :/

Number 50 - Universal Studios

HELLO!

We didn't have our sugary breakfast because it was so early when we left that the breakfast bar wasn't even open D: Instead we had the rest of our large "Mango" :P lol. I still can't comprehend their fail. How can a melon be mistaken for a mango? Anywotsit, I groggily dressed and then as we were leaving I checked Facebook. It made me a "homesick" really and I miss my friends :/ (so... basically Hatter as I don't have any other bezzies - that's a bit sad isn't it?)

We set off on a long journey to Universal Studios. Yay! We arrived a little early but were just ushered into the V.I.P. lounge anyway. XD Had croissants and cookies (from the cookie jar!) until our guide arrived. She took us on an AMAZING tram tour that included: inside set tours, looking through the props warehouse, ans walking through the street sets - INCLUDING Pirates of the Carribean set!!!!! O.O I have stood in the same place as Johnny Depp :3 Eeeek!!! I was jumping up and down like a little jumping minion for at least 5 minutes :D and now when I get back to England I MUST watch PotC again. ^^
Had a go on the "Jurassic Park", "Mummy" and "Simpson's" rides - straight to the front of the queue too because we were V.I.P.'s :) That was just awesome.
Stopped for lunch in a V.I.P. only restaurant. I felt a bit like a star, flashing my car as I went through XD and when we came out we went into the "Water world" show (I will now have to watch that movie), "Shrek 4D" show, and "Terminator 2: 3D" show. They were all little movies with moving seats which was fun too. Our tour guide left us at this point so we were left to our own devices. Took a stroll down a street littered with union jacks called "Little England". Their portrayal of us Brits is just so cliche... almost mocking us. Had a little chat with a "Rock Star" up on a balcony with a half american half English-cockney accent for a little while. Aaaaand I made a beefeater smile ^^ lol. Watched an Animal show which I thought was slightly cruel and then a special effects show. That was epic. Re-did some of the rides and ate an ice-cream before leaving the park. As V.I.P.'s a vallet collected our car for us (which they'd parked for us earlier) even though we could see it 2 rows away :P

Got back to the hotel and Fb'd until I got too tired. Saved some more HP pictures for my album ^^
We're leaving tomorrow to get to Pismo beach so I'd better get some shut eye.

Over and out,

Gloves. xx

P.S. I had a weird dream last night... The Giant One and I had just broken up (weird I know) so I sat back in the hot tub (don't ask why I was in a hot tub) feeling sorry for myself while he scootled off to Australia to swap places with M. Then suddenly I was in America.... I think it was to get away from M.... I'm not too sure.... anyway, I was in America playing CoD with K. We were both doing the whole "Oh I'm going to kill you" and jokey stuff like that... but then it just suddenly turned into the jokey - "You know you love me" type thing (like the things Ninja and I were saying earlier in the year) and we just looked at one another for ages until his mother came down and interrupted the "moment" saying we had to leave and we were like "for what?" and then I got woken up. Weird or what...? Do you have any interpretation for that?

Number 49 - Hollywood

Woke up an hour late. lol. Had some sugary breakfast, again. How much sugar can americans tolerate?! Mom said we're going to see the Hollywood sign today so we went on a journey once again. I updated my blog the whole journey, it wasn't that interesting.
We found a car park and set off along the "Walk of Fame" :D
We found some people that we knew on the stars and photographed a couple of superheroes.I was getting a little bored until HARRY POTTER!!! There were all of these flags and stuff with the different house crests and colours outside a famous theatre. In front of it were some hand prints from famous people like Johnny Depp. XD But I had a total flip out when I saw the huge Harry Potter stone with Emma, Daniel and Rupert's hand and print   prints. Obviously I put my hands on it and took photos :P Lots and lots of photos XD
We walked to the very end of the street and back but we didn't find the star with "David McCallum" in unfortunately. Although, I can now say I've been on both Hollywood and Sunset Boulevard (which are apparently famous streets in Hollywood....). Also, while looking for the star we somehow ended up in the "erotic district".... :P I don't think you need me to explain what that meant exactly. ;)

Visited a Hollywood cemetery which was a bit of a let down, although I did see both the "Man of 1000 voices'" grave (the one with "That's All Folks" written on the front) and the Toto (previously named Terry) memorial. I also discovered that Toto was in fact a girl so.... you learn something new every day. :)

Drove up to get close to the sign ans saw a limo driving up the opposite way as we were turning around. The Father refused to let is stalk the celebrity who was in it unfortunately so that was a bit of a let down. :( We decided to get out to take a picture of the sign with us in the background... but as That Father pulled out to park (signalling very far in advance), a car drove into our path so dad quickly manouvered around and parked in the space along the road (even though it had been our right of way). The woman driving got out of her car and opened our door, had a large rant using many vulgar swearwords before throwing moms sunglasses at father and stalking off. What made it even worse was that she was British. D: We all sat in silence for 5 seconds before all bursting into laughter. We always seem to get shouted at when on journeys in foreign countries: The Water Seller, The Ticket Collector, and our latest edition - The Ranting Woman. :P lol. Anyway, we took our pictures ans drove back to the hotel - listening to awesome tunes: American Pie and Living on a Prayer to name a couple.

The brother and I went swimming while the Rentals went shopping in Wal Mart. :) but twas cold so I got out and went back to the hotel room. This weird version of scoobydoo - uncartoonised - was on the TV so I watched that while Facebooking. I was very unamused when I discovered they'd made Fred brunette instead of blonde and shaggy brunette instead of ginger. >.>
The Rentals returned bearing coke and a melon! :D They told us that the checkout had to ask what the melon was, and after looking in the bag, thought it was a large mango.... talk about unhealthy!!! Not knowing what a melon is.... tragic.
Had a nice relaxing shower while the Rentals ordered pizza and unpacked their things. Le pizza arrived so I watched "The House Bunny" while eating it which was cool. :) Started up my laptop part way through the movie and blogged. Everyone fell asleep at 7:30 (jetlag) so at 8 I went around and turned off all the lights and cleared away stuff on peoples laps (like books and glasses). I felt a bit like a mother actually ^^ lol. Anyhow, I also became tired so decided to get some shut eye.

Number 48 - Magic Mountain

Woke up at 2:30 in the afternoon English time - that made me feel good. Only thing was, I then realised that it was 6:30 in the morning American time..... Humph. Washed and dressed and made our way down to breakfast. :D We made our own WAFFLES!!! Noticed that all of the food portions were huge, and reeeally sugary. :P Even the orange juice was filled with sweetener. We joked that the potatoes (which weren't cooked properly anyway) would be coated in sugar too. Eventually, we got back up to our room and then left the Hotel. The drive was about 2 hours long but The Brother and I entertained ourselves: An "auto-tune" app on his iPod, looking out for "Autobots" - we found Optimus Prime :P Twas awesome, we also read the messages on the number plates - above and below the numbers + letters there were little mesages. My favourite was: "What Would Buddha Do?" lol!
The Father drove through a couple of red lights at various crossroads (accidentally I hasten to add) but we did get to the theme park in the end. At first we thought we'd come to the wrong park because there was a different name outside but we asked and it was fine. Scare over. XD Got in the queue for an hour, waiting for the park to open, and were given entertainment in the form of a huuuuuuuuuuuuge beach ball and americans making a fool of themselves on-stage by dancing. :P
The gates finally opened and everyone swarmed in. we ran to the newest attraction - "Green Lantern" and after a little wait, got on. After that was: "Batman", "Riddlers Revenge", "Deja Vu", "Viper", "X2", "Collossous", "Scream", "Goliath", "Tatsu", "Log Jammer"- On that ride some fat people ahead of us sat in the boat and it sunk of over 3/4 of the way down. We were all trying to stiffle giggles but as soon as we caugth each others eyes we started laughing again .Twas truly hilarious, "Tidal Wave" and "Ninja". All of which were awesome :P They made Alton Towers seem tame. XD
What I noticed about all of the rides is that at the beginning, in England there is an automated voice that says something like: "Please keep your hands and feet inside the train at all times. Thank you for choosing to ride on ___________" In the most boring way possible. But here before the ride there are people shouting: "OMG guys! Have fun on the ride! Enjoy it! Whoop! Whoop! Yeah! LETS DO THIS! and then when you returned they clapped. I personally think that is much more motivating than a robot telling you what to do. :P Tis awesomes. Some of them even had little sayings like: Ninja - "Be a Ninja! Hyah!" and then everyone shouted "HYAH!", Tatsu - "Taaaaaaaatsooooooooooooooooooooo!" which you joined in with, Scream - "Lemmie hear you SCREAM!!!" thus you all screamed. What I'm saying is that when I get back to England it will be soooooo boring. It was all good fun.
For lunch we had a meal for 2: 2 burgers, 2 fries, 2 cokes - I had to grip one with both hands - that's how big a medium one was, and some huge onion rings. The 4 of us struggled to eat it all - that proves how large it was. We also had a Ben and Jerrys which I also struggled to finish. Everything is so GINORMOUS in america.
The Brother insisted on getting a chariacture done of us so now we have a cartoon version of ourselves to put up somewhere. :)

At 9 american time (5 in the morning English time) the park started to close so we left. I fell asleep in the car so when we arrived at the hotel I just zombied up to the room and fell asleep.

Number 47 - CALIFORNIA!!!

Stayed on the plane for another 3 hours. I read the rest of "The Fledgeling Handbook" ans took lots of photos of the different landscapes below (it didn't ever get dark, even at 2 in the morning, because we were "following the sun" weird of what? :P) What intrigued me a lot were the 'field circles' which were basically large circles of greenery with diameters that ranged from 10 to 30 cars (approx). They were immense, and I have no idea why they are there.

Perhaps the Americans have discovered a more efficient way of farming? Who knows? Meh.

We left the plane, after a bit of a wait, and got our bags. We left and I had a long wait outside the car hire station  guarding the luggage while the other three looked at cars. We could have got a French racing blue Mustang but no, we got a huge, bulky, white Hummer instead. ¬¬
We got into our car, set the directions into the Navi and got to the hotel.
After unpacking and setting up the sofa bed for The Brother and I to share (how fun that's going to be), I got out my laptop. I talked to M and K on Facebook and skype as well as updated my status. :P

I hadn't been to sleep in over 24 hours and it was about 7 in the morning in England (I got up at half 6) so I decided to get some rest.

I'm really excited about what we're doing tomorrow - a huuuuuge theme park - and hopefully twill be awesome. :D

Number 47 - We're all going on a summer holiday :D

So, I woke up.... not feeling that excited actually, just tired. I wasn't allowed a lie in and I stayed up late the night before so I was a little grouchy.

Ate coco pops and drank as much milk as I could manage before feeling sick. Went upstairs ans set up my laptop to check Facebook for the last time in England for a while. No-one was on. Typical.

I got into the shower, playing my music full blast as usual, planning on staying in for at least 20 minutes to help me relax. So obviously 10 seconds later (literally) I heard a knock on the door and my mother entered telling me to hurry up as X and E were downstairs waiting for me ¬¬
I did my hair and washed in about 10 minutes. Needless to say I was not very relaxed by the end of it. Clambered downstairs in my dressing gown and  quickly greeted them both. They gave me birthday presents which I thanked them for ans mother asked X to do some work on the computer for her so E and I left him to it and went outside to look at the fish and tortoises. At one point we thought a fish had died because it was floating on the surface of the water. It turned out it was only sunbathing... lol :P
X and E decided to leave, as it is X's birthday after all, plus we were due to leave in less than 2 hours. Less than 1 if mom could help it. I hugged E but X refused because I was "naked" >.> E and I both laughed at him for that.

They left and I got dried, dressed and started packing my hand luggage. The Mother insisted on trying to complete my DofE which led to a lot of stress and shouting. We didn't complete it either which mom was annoyed about. it didn't help that both of us were on very short fuses. Me because I was sleep deprived and Mother because the bank has messed up, they'd lost a lot of our money and were telling us to pay for THEIR mistake. They also said we owed them thousands of pounds we didn't have. ¬¬ Humph.

We eventually set off and that's when I got excited. I posted a status and was a little entertained by the comments and who liked it and such, as well as flicking through M's aussie photo's which he told me he was putting up. For the rest of the journey I listened to Yogpod - Podcasts with The Brother which are HILARIOUS! :D
Part way through the journey mom reaced into her bag and pulled out an "early birthday present" for me. XD 'Twas a CAMERA!!!!!!!! Seeing as it's the only present I'm getting from the rentals I was quite pleased indeed. It's freaking AWESOME! I took a lot of pictures but deleted most of them so I had more room for the actual holiday :P Slept for a little while at the end of the journey until we reached the airport. We sailed through the check in and security and we barely had time to buy a case for my new camera (I heart it so much!) and an olympic hat for K (which he will probably despise) before our flight was being called for boarding. The only time we had to wait was while the first class people were boarding. During that time The Brother and I entertained ourselves while the Rentals sorted out our bank account problem. We boarded but sat in the plane for a whole hour before we took off because there was a queue. >.> They're no supposed to have queues for aeroplanes!!! It's all supposed to be organised! :P The Brother started raving about "Final Destination 1" which caused me to freak out during take off. Stupid brother :( [I wouldn't have him any other way through. We may not seem like it, but when we want to we can be really good friends - when he's not insulting or abusing me that is.]

Watched "Limitless", a film coming out soon in England, and it's really good. 'Tis quite clever and makes you think. I shall definitely recommend it to Hatter when I next talk to her (and when it's out I shall force her to see it :P) Also, I watched "The Tourist" which was AWESOME (mostly because Johnny Depp was super hot in it) Slightly predictable but still good fun. "Narnia 3 - Voyage of the Dawn Treader" was also on and that was entertaining but didn't follow the book plot which slightly annoyed me but ahh well. Prince (sorry 'King') Caspian was also very fit so I didn't really care that much. ;) I watched an "Inbetweeners" episode and "The Micheal McIntyre Comedy Road Show" on the TV channels before I thought that I had better stop before my eyes and ears started to hurt. Everyone started to fall asleep because it was gone midnight but I was still wide awake (some of Twins nocturnal-ness must have rubbed off on me XD ) Anyway, I started my blog for the day. It's about quarter to 1 in the morning and I don't plan on sleeping so I think I'll just stop and carry on writing for today, tomorrow (but in america). If that makes sense. I hope so...
Basically I'll do 2 posts for today: An English one - this one. And An American one - it'll be about 7 in the evening when we land (but about 3 in the morning English time) so I'll do a little post after this about "what happened in america".

See you there!!! :D

Number 46 - Cinema and Dances

Woken up today by The Mother shouting that I should have been awake an hour ago. Hmmm.

Ate and dressed and fishazzle. Got the bag together for the cinema (a cute little one that I found at the bottom of the pile that I used when I was about 5. It just about fit 2 cans of coke and a packet of sweeties in but 'twas a squeeze :P)

Drove to the cinema and got in a MAHOOSIVE queue to buy the tickets. The Grandparents arrived and we discussed my cousins mom who's only got days to live (cancer) :( She was a drug abuser and a drinker and a smoker and she's never really been part of the family (my uncle didn't marry her and took care of my cousin on his own) but we're all devastated for Ab's because she was told she had 4 months - went away for 2 weeks in cuba with her friend - and is now flying home early tomorrow on her own because her mom is slipping into a coma. I cannot bear to imagine what is going through her mind right now. I just hope, pray and wish for her to get to her before she passes away :'( :'( :'(

So, that was a bit of a sad conversation. The others arrived and they lightened our spirits a little. X and Al (my ginger welsh friend - slight fail in life but hey, he's awesome :P) are fun to be around and we made easy conversation. Went to see "The Adjustment Buro" which finally arrived after the let down with Hatter, was it last week? I can't remember. Meh. That's what my blogs for but I cannae be arsed to look XD So yeah, the moral we concluded from the film (suggested by X) was: "Don't become a secret agent." and I totally agree with that. :P X and his mom left so Al, the mothers and I all went down to Costa in Tesco to eat munch. Munch? I meant Lunch. Apologies ^^ Al and I talked about how life was because we haven't met up properly since...... like.... April last year? Twas the easter holidays so it must have been April. Wow. Anyway, we chatted and got on pretty well seeing as I was never as close to him as I was to My Ginger Nerd. :) Our ham and cheese panini's arrived so while we ate I showed him the Prom pictures from facebook and in turn he told me about his Prom, slightly less formal than ours :P My phone was being slow :( so he never got to show me the pictures. While we were talking the moms went for a quick shop. :P We opted out of that obviously. We were really getting into our conversation but my mother finished her shopping so dragged me away to get my legs done.

We arrived home and mother got me to deliver a package to the post office. When I returned it was just about time for my legs to be done, but I checked fb first. Talked to Hatter for a bit and she informed me she was ill :(
Got my legs done which didn't hurt as much this time, it was actually not noticeable at all, but that might have been because I was texting and Fbing on my phone throughout. XD Got my toenails done and started running errands for mom while she got her legs done - fetching things to pack - but tripped on the stairs and destroyed the paint on my nails so got them re-done and was re-assigned to printing off maps and various other directional related paperwork. I felt very secretarial actually :P Did some more packing but then had to get changed so I did my hair and stuff and dressed in my dance stuff. I felt like a true dancer today ^^ Unfortunately it was my last lesson. Hmmmm.

DANCE! OMG 'twas AWESOME! :D Apart from the fact that the Twin was ill :( Poor Hatter.

Arrived and got changed and whatever. The bell rang just as I'd put my shoes on so as Hatter was still in her dance class I had to pretend to race her to the door, which was still quite fun :P My mind is very graphic O.o (And I mean that in the most innocent of ways.) Let S in and we went into our room. :) We talked for a little while, and then I discovered his cam-corder.... :D Thus the dancing began ^^ and lots of randomosity also. :P
Anywhore (lol), we were called in by Miss and we started the class (funky dancing in between each exercise) :P We did leaps and stuff into the centre of the room and both did our port-de-bras at the same time so it was like mirror images (only, a guy and a girl mirror image if that works.... it does in my mind so it does in real life. End of.) Hatter entered and stayed with us this time but she had a head ache so only joined in some bits. I really hope she does well in her exam because she's worked really hard for it. :)
After dance I skipped off  to get my sheet signed by Miss and then skipped back to the Hatter and S. He wanted to do a recorded evaluation but we kept putting him off... :P Oops. He tried to look for another room and I ended up leading him to the toilet.... eventually Hatter and I left the toilet because it was just slightly weird to be in a toilet with people. We tried to listen through the door later on but.... he heard us. ^^

He did a dance for us anyway which was fun (and I recorded it.) The awesome thing was, I couldn't focus my eyes for both the camera and him so I looked out of the corner of my eye at both of them, but when you do this, it creates double vision. So it looked like there was a group of S's doing the same dance and it had quite an epic effect XD

Hatter's mom came to collect her and stuff so I bid S adieu and brought Hatters stuff down to her. We talked about ballet exams and panties before leaving in a slightly hyper mood (thus meant we called up to S to try to say goodbye.... it didn't work.)

Got home and made dinner for everyone. Had to eat lots of cake and drink lots of milk because we have to try and finish off as much food as possible before the holiday ¬¬

Packed after that and squished everything into the suitcases. Had to watch the apprentice because The Mother wanted it on so... meh. Took the cases down and watched the apprentice You're Fired while re-painting my toenails, stupid ballet shoes >.>

Mom forced The Brother and I to watch an episode of Desperate Housewives because we're apparently going to see the film set in america (because it's called Wisteria Lane or something, I wonder why mom chose it? :P)

Got to bed and finished my blog. Then added more Harry Potter pictures onto my laptop to muse over sometime in the near future. :)

OH MY GOLLY GOSH WE'RE GOING ON HOLIDAY TOMORROW!!! :O Wowzers. That's going to be fun, but I shall miss my Twin muchly. (And just because she's the only one who reads this: "I LOVE YOU TWINNLES/HATTER/GEORGE/ERIN/GENERALLY MAD PERSON". There. Be happy while I'm gone :P

Number 45 - Packing Up

So yeah, today I sorted out the packing stuff with The Mother.
We sorted lots of things - underwear, books, some clothes, accessories - before mom told me to talk to X about meeting up today to do the DofE presentation. He wasn't online but surprisingly, M was. I spoke to him for a while. Texted L a "Merry Birthday" because mom wouldn't let me back on my laptop until I did. ¬¬ I texted Ninja too with some very.... interesting outcomes.... O.o
Did more packing but got a bit peckish. The Mother had to go out but she told me what I had to eat (to get rid of the food in the house) before she left. I took my lunch up to my room (:O Oh naughty me :P) and talked to X to arrange times and such, also declaring that I would bring CAKE! Talked to M and Hatter on skype for a teensy little bit but I X wanted me to hurry up because the cake was "calling him" so I left them to speak to one another from opposite sides of the world ^^

X's house was AWESOME! We started off by looking at one anothers presentations and giving thoughts on it, before going on Google Maps. That failed so we used Google Earth... bad idea :P There's this flight simulator mode on it that lets you fly a plane across the area you're looking at. So natually we both got utterly distracted with flying (and crashing). That and Spongebob which was on the TV as background noise :P
We added a couple of things to the presentation but decided we needed the maps from le other DofE friend so..... We stopped and talked to Hatter on skype instead (who was having a Harry Potter Movie Marathon at the time XD)
X and I watched "Grown-Ups" when his brother arrived, until my mom called to beckon me home. I had to get home anyway because Hatter was bringing me a muffin :D

I got home, getting some weird looks from people (probably because I was dressed like someone from the 70's.... :P), and fb'd until the Twin arrived. I called her up - too lazy to go down to her. She knows her way around anyway so it doesn't matter :P We ate muffin and pink icing (that tasted very pink) and looked at HP pictures. As you can guess we were in a very HP mood ^^ O called on skype so we talked to him for a while before Hatter left because she had dinner (and so did I).

Ate a chicken Kiev when mom went to the gym and then talked to O again. Did lots of HP stuff on my laptop until O had to go. Talked to Ninja and CB on facebook until the rentals removed the internet. I forgot to do my blog!!! :O And read the Fledgeling Handbook instead. (An early birthday prezzie from my Auntie :D)

Fell asleep pretty easily actually ^^

Number 44 - Harry Potter Rave

I had a very lazy day today :)

Bit of a scary start when I discovered blood all over my bed sheets. Twas creepy. Just a large stain under me when I sat up. :/ But I'm fine now so it's ok. :)

Sat in my room and laptopped for ages. Played my flute after getting ready in a floaty dress. (Couldnae be bothered with normal clothes :P) Talked to M while he was travelling to the airport. :D Das war sehr lustig.

Packed my undies and helped The Mother with the toiletries. Ate lunch and went back to doing flute.
Talked to M again, this time he was going through security. We tested to see if the security guards could see his messages by me sending comments to them on his phone. Either they didn't see them or were just too stuck up to comment on them :P I think it was the latter idea XD Anyways, we talked until he borded the plane.... and we're most likely not going to talk until september O.o how fun. Also talked to N about various things :) That was cool.
I started saving HP pictures from the different groups onto my computer. There are so many good ones!!!! :D

Did some more clothes sorting and felt like Gok Wan :D Until mom returned and it was time for my flute lesson. Joy. The Mother took us to tesco and I sat in the car while she shopped. Yeah, she came out late and then we had to get petrol so I was 5 mins late for my lesson. I was quite proud of myself for learning my piece though :) Grade 6 standard in a week (YESSSSSSSSSSSS). :P

Came out (oooer :P Nah, I've already 1/2 done that XD) and made myself a microwavable pasta meal. Nin called when I was waiting for it to cook which was surprising. He was bored and doing his paper round so while I ate and he delivered we talked. Eventually though I had to go to Brownies so we said goodbye and I left the house. :) Made bin bag dresses today! :D I remember doing that and I was always the model (and ended up with stickytape in my hair and usually had to cut it out the next day :P) although we only had the colours black and green. The brownies were given yellow, blue, purple, blue, pink, silver aaaand black bags! :O The coloured ones were scented too!!! These kids are spoiled :P Anyway, my favourite brownie (I know you shouldn't have favourites but I do so suck it up :D) won the fashion show so that was cool :) Twas also my last helping thing at brownies :( I shall miss them all D:

Went to Faith Group and stuffed myself with biscuits and brownies and muffins. They have them every week now so it's one of the reasons I go XD Today we were discussing Idols and used Daniel 3:1. Twas really interesting actually but the thing was, Time Spin, Mr. H and I were constantly going off on tangents and talking about various stuff. At one point we started talking about a Trampoline Competition and how that could prove which God/s are better :P Good times. :') It started to annoy Mrs. H though and it's never good to annoy a pregnant woman so we stopped :) At the end they played us a song called "Give Us Your Courage"

It didn't really.... move me "spiritually" in any way but I thought it was a nice song. Heres the link if you're curious or want to be reminded. :P

Anyway. Mr. H and I talked from 9:15 until 9:55 about pointless stuff like comedians and tattoos and philosophical and political debates. :O I can't believe we talked for that long. So by the time I left it was almost dark and I thought mom was going to go mental. All she said when I walked in was "Fold up your clothes" and "You need to change your bed sheet." :P I heart my mother. :D
Went up and started watching this weeks episode of True Blood and searching for HP7 Part 1 to watch just before I watch the second part. I found it and I'm waiting for it to buffer now :) Yayness.

Talked to the Twin and had an awesome "OI FRED" "OI GEORGE" fight :P twas awesome and filled with quotes and epicosity. Played on that cursed addictive MacDonalds game ¬¬ I'm now on the year 2059. Why?! It is so unbelievably POINTLESS!!! Meh. I am now in the mood for Harry Potter so BRING IT ON!!!!! XD XD XD

Posted the blog at half past midnight but I couldn't get asleep. Texted Ninja until about 2:30. Then I fell asleep on him (¬¬ not in that way...) which he scolded me for in the morning :P

Number 43 - I HEART GINGERS!!!

Jinja-Smudge came today!!! :D :D :D

I must say, I don't see her often but when I do I always think that we should be best friends. Unfortunately she lives near oxford so we only see each other a couple of times a year D: If she went to bishop she would be one of my best friends - almost up in the twin rank XD unfortunately it will never be :( The awesome thing is though, she likes nearly everything that I like - vintage, Doctor Who, pictures of friends on her walls, we can predict what the other person is going to say and she's just as mad as me, if not madder :P (She even has "odd face" fights with her father like me!!!) I swear if Hatter, Jinja and I were put into a room we would just combine into an Ultra-Person with multicoloured hair (Ginger, Blonde and Brunette) XD Twould be epic :)

Still, today was awesome :D They arrived and we had fun making coffee (fail for her not knowing that her rentals drank coffee XD) After all of the greeting and whatnot us kids decided to go out to the park with the unicycles (the girls were learning to ride one). :) Met X's older brother there and after having a little go on the unicycle, Jinja-Smudge decided to have a lie down in the grass, so naturally I joined her. We sunbathed for a bit but got bored so we took some creative pictures - including one where we tried (and failed) to make it look like I have ginger hair :P Lots of epicosity occured and we had a large catch up session :) J joined us just before we left and I watched him on the ramps for a little. He's like, super good on his BMX now. :P

Got back home and Jinja-Smudge joined me in my room and showed me this game called "MacDonalds Video Game". It mocks Macky D's and is utterly addictive :P Jinja loved my bed so we stayed up until dinner was served. Yummy roast :P But I got too full to eat pudding so Jinja and I cleared the table and then went back upstairs. We discussed love life (and drew diagrams and facebook to help explain XD) and various other girly topics. Jinja wanted to watch the matrix so I fetched the DVD and some nommish (but fattening) snacks and we munched on things like morangues, minirolls, butterwaffles and mini marshmellows while watching the film. Oh I do heart the fight scene when Neo and Trinity save Morphious. :D Tis just EPIC!

We were planning on watching the second Matrix movie but we were told there was no time :( So instead we played the Macdonalds game while waiting for sausage rolls. :P We started nomming on cucumber but got told off for that. :P The Brother had made some sausage rolls and a chocolate brownie cake so we all pigged out on them. Jinja took some more pictures of us and the cats (eventually - Her Little Sister kept trying to get in the way but after her father restrained her twas fine and we got a couple of good shots :P)

Unfortunately they soon had to depart :( So we bid them farewell (after I found out that Jinja-Smudge is going to Soul Survivor and will be working with her team at the Cafe Uno!!! :D I must remember to visit it often when I am there. It also reminds me that I need to contact TO about meeting up at SS :L)

I went on facebook and saw that X had finally put up his Prom photos so I went through them and commented, tagged and liked. Hatter, O and M started talking to me and my notification box filled up so I was constantly being bombarded with messages!!! D: It died down a little but then E put up the pictures from Friday so I went through and did the same and again - got bombarded with messages! Jinja-Smudge then posted her photos up and started tagging me in them so I had to go through those photos.
O had to go to bed (because he has school tomorrow Muahahahahha!!!) so I started to play the MacDonalds game for entertainment.

The internet was shut off but the game carried on running so between the writing of blog and reading I played the game... I'm still playing now and I've got to the year 2039 so far :P I am quite proud of myself XD

Tomorrow I'm going to be packing all day so that's going to be a little boring. Ahhhh well, holiday in less than 4 days so I can't complain! :D (I say less than because its about 10 past 1 in the morning so theoretically its only three days but only by an hour :P)

Over and out,

Gloves. xx

P.S. I think I feel a little better than yesterday. I haven't spoken to L in 2 days though and I don't know whether I should text him before I go away or just leave him alone for a while :/ I think I'll ask Hatter the next time we speak.

Number 42 - A Day of Sailing!!!

Today was AWESOME!!! :D

I had a huuuuuuuuge lie in today and woke up at 9 :) after having a really cool but odd dream. I can't remember what it was about, although I wish I could, but I know it was utterly interesting and awesome :D
Skyped with K for a while and we discussed (surprise surprise) relationships (obviously he'd seen the change on my Relationship Status). I left him to go to sleep and ate breakfast but felt really full by the end because mom forced me to eat 2 crumpets on top of a croissant! D: Got all of my stuff ready for the day and then went on facebook to check the messages about L I missed yesterday.
I went and got dressed and by 11:30 I was ready. O called on skype and said he was going to be a little late (unorganised boy! :P) so I sat on my "poof" for a little while and reflected on everything that happened yesterday until 12:00. O arrived to collect me and we drove off into THE ABYSS!!! (Through cransley, take the second right down a country lane, take the left towards Thorpe Malsor and it's the first left at the bottom of the hill XD)
We arrived the the sailing club and he opened the car door for me(?) like a chauffeur :P His dads comment was: "You're a gentleman just like your father." That set a blush on his cheeks XD I got really jittery and started saying that I was going to die.... because I've never been sailing before this and I'm not good with new people/places that I don't know. We had to wait for the main guy person (they called him something beginning with C) to come in from the reservoir to ask if I was allowed to sail and whether I could borrow some equipment (I didn't bring my wetsuit). So while waiting for him we sat on the benches in the sunshine beside the water and had a quick catchup on life. :) A dog joined us part way through so I got a little more nervous because I get a tad scared of dogs I don't know.
Eventually the other sailers came back for lunch so O talked with the leader person (who was very nice) while I got changed into my bikini and wetsuit. In the changing room I talked with a little girl I knew from brownies :P before going back outside to help O set up the boat (a "Pico", I think he called it.) A guy in the year above me in school who is friends with my "cousin" was outside! So we had a little chat about sailing, (I never knew he sailed before), and he assumed that O and I were on a date ¬¬ Meh. We ignored him and went back into the Clubhouse to eat. I brought a pack lunch and O seemed intruiged with my ice pack :P At some points it was slightly awkward but that was to be expected - we hadn't spoken "one on one" and "face to face" for long periods of time since we dated. I flicked through the pictures on his iPod for a bit and played on doodle jump - at which I pwned him. :P
After lunch, when everyone was allowed back out onto the water, O and I prepared the rest of our boat and added a mini sail (gib) at the front which I had to control. We set sail and although at first it was a little scary - not made any better by O threatening to capsize us - I soon got the hang of the method: pull, clip, wait, unclip, pull, clip, etc... :P There was quite a bit of wind to begin with so there wasn't much time for discussion apart from us talking about our lack of patience ans "control freak" personalities (initiated by O re-clipping the rope because he didn't think it was tight enough). As the wind dropped we found more time to relax as we didn't have to constantly sort out the sails. The unfortunate topic of L was brought up as well as my emotions (or lack of them).
O got really tangled up a couple of times which was funny. :) The rope wrapped around his legs. Unfortunately this meant that he gave me the rudder and sail line to control while he sorted himself out. That was very scary because it meant I was in charge of the whole boat :/ but I think I coped ok (I didn't crash into anything which is a plus. :P) We did a bit of relaxing and had a lie down on the deck with our heads flopped over the edge. I splished water in his hair and the fluffled it out for him. For some reason he reminds me of a puppy when he fluffles his hair :P The only flaw in our "lets lie down" idea was that we couldn't see where we were going, so we crashed into a buoy. XD
For a couple of hours we just zig-zagged up and down the reservoir , chatting about pointless things like Starboard and Port, teasing one another, commenting on my fish plait, and getting the occasional wolf whistle or "knowing look" from the other sailors ¬¬
We stopped for a drink and a break because O's back and knee were hurting, so we skipped stones for a little while. We got back out on the water and almost capsised a couple of times but luckily we leant out enough to stabilize it in time :) So yeah... Basically we sailed until O's mom arrived. It was amazingly fun and I really want to become a member :) O explained that he did it to calm down because it is so peaceful on the water but at the same time gives you a thrill. He also sings to himself when he's sailing which is adorable :P

Anyway, I got changed and he drove me home. We hugged goodbye and I let myself in, I sorted out all my stuff and then waited for The Father to pick me up. I checked facebook and talked to Ninja while listening to "Alligator Sky" by Owl City (the new song I am obsessed with) until dad arrived.

Ate half a bowl of pasta at The Grandparents' house but felt utterly full again by the end of it so only had 3 grapes for pudding. Fish plaited my hair again on the way to the concert and texted Ninja for a bit. The concert was... urgh ¬¬ With hints of... yay! Saw a couple of people from my year in the bands (which played Pirates of the Carribean as well as a Disney Medley). I wrote my blog through most of it though, only stopping when a song caught my attention and then The Brother came on.

After the concert we got home and I helped The Mother make morangues before going on facebook and skype. On facebook I talked to M and downloaded more HP pictures ^^ and I skyped with Hatter and O until the internet connection was once again tragically cut off. I typed up the blog but felt really tired. Must've been all the work I put in today ;)
but seriously, it's really tiring when you sail because as well as the rope and sail moving you have to lean off the edge to make sure the boat doesn't capsize, which really strains your arms. D:

Meh. It has been a very eventful day. It could have been better if I hadn't had surges of guilt whenever I thought of L :/ I really do hope he's ok. :( Anyway, it's 00:55 now so I'd better get to bed.

Over and out,

Gloves. xx

Number 41 - Some Sort Of Get Together :D

Went to the gym this morning! :D Well, ¬¬ is a more appropriate smiley because although I got there and was like "yeah im going to burn 100 calories on the rowing machine!!! And then I'll cycle or perhaps run on those other machines..." but by the end I was like "KILL ME NOW!!!" I was sweating like crazy, seriously, I didn't realise your body could contain that much sweat XD

Went swimming to relax and had a hot chocolate just before it while texting L :) I recognised the pool - mom took me when I was like 3 :P I used to get memory flashes of the pool and mother swimming so it was quite cool. ^^ We also had a steam, during which mother decided to tell me about the time when someone died in the steam room. We left pretty soon after that XD I had a shower - which was mega weird and I felt strange being naked outside of my room..... creepy.

Got dragged to tesco by the mother ¬¬ I could have been there on time but no - she needed vegetables... :P Although I did manage to get some vest tops so that was ok ^^ Anyway, rushed around and finally finished - did self service at the checkout :P I love doing that for some reason. There's something satisfying about making the machine go "beep" :P

The Mother drove me past the park so that I could drop off stuff and say hi and all that - which I did. :) I unloaded my gym stuff and the shopping and collected the presents from moms room, as well as lemonade and chocolate thingys from the cupboard. Trecked along to the park and greeted everyone. Twas slightly awkward to begin with but the atmosphere soon relaxed and everyone started to enjoy themselves. We all grouped together in the little childrens house and had a quick ride on the elephants. I created a pile on and then sat on the roof of the little house with M. We decided that M was "The Master" and therefore Nerd's arch nemesis.... XD
Newbie arrived so I scared him by hugging him. He probably already thinks I'm weird :P
We moved over to the swings for a little - M jumped off and then ran into me ¬¬ and M, David and I sat in our "tank" :P David departed and N joined us. We had a little bitchy conversation about H being too orange and then decided we were being too mean and so stopped.
H refused to share her coke so M ran off with her last bottle and I took her bag. She got a bit pissed off when M pulled the bottle out of his boxers and then threw it to N, after which we played piggy in the middle for a while :P I threw the bottle to M at one point and she ran at me, picked me up and then threw me down on my side :/ It really hurt and I now have a bruise. I think she took it a bit far :( She was like super annoyed wheras we were just trying to have a bit of fun :/ She stalked off with her bottle and N, M and I decided to seek shelter under the tree as it was starting to rain. We ended up opening the marsh mellows and guessing who would notice that we were eating food first. It took longer than expected and by the time they'd noticed we were halfway through the marshmellows, eaten a chocolatey thingy each and gluped down a lot of lemonade. :D We all sheltered under the tree until The Giant One returned with his ball. The ball kept going in the road so we tried to move out of the tree cover. L arrived so we both exchanged gifts and talked a little before we played the ball game in the pouring rain again until we decided that we were getting too wet. XD Still, I decided I was bored under the tree so I ran out and did some cart wheels and spinning. I ended up lying on the ground getting rained on. Twas quite calming actually. I love torrential rain (especially in thunderstorms). N initiated a pile on so I got squished by X, Hatter, N and E. :P Everyone felt that they were too wet (apart from me) and wanted to go inside. Some of the group had sought refuge in the bus shelter but most of us were still under the tree. We all made our way to X's house but I noticed that The Giant One and L weren't there. M reassured me that he'd be back later and that he wouldn't just go without saying goodbye because he probably wouldn't see most of us for the whole summer but if they weren't back in 10 mins he'd go with me to find them. Yeah... so we entered X's gaming room, sat in a huge circle and chatted. M and I reverted to childhood when X turned on the keyboard (which is just awesome :P) and X played us some pretty awesome tunes.
We all got out food (like Doritoes) and chucked a tennis ball and two juggling balls around, trying to avoid the furniture. :P After Hatter chugged the Appletizer a game of 'Truth, Dare or Kiss' was started. :) Twas hilarious! Although about 5 minutes later The Giant One walked in and declared that L had indeed just left without saying goodbye.... :/ Meh. We span the bottle and much hilarity was created. M had to propose to Newbie and Newbie had to propose to M :L lol. H had to lick Nerd's leg and I had to kiss N on the cheek (thanks to Hatter XD and I did guess right! :D Although I'm not too sure why I accepted it.... :P lol)
Newbie had to leave so we had a group hug and then resumed our positions. Most of the spins ended up on the same people so we scrapped the bottle and just went around the circle. :P
There was lots of kissing (of both same sex and opposite)
Various gropage dares :P
Flirting with self in the mirror - Nerd owned this one :L
M kissing himself - X put on the drum roll from the keyboard for dramatic effect :)
N chose H for a one night stand (she said "I feel loved" and someone else was like "actually it just means you're a slut." I wanted to give whoever it was a high five. He also chose to marry me..... but we're already married so its no big deal XD
Cleughy and Ninja arrived and soon afterwards the stripping began.... coincidence? :P
Forfeits - First Ninja, then Nerd, then Tim..... and then H..... ¬¬ Hatter and I were like O.O It's like she doesn't care about her dignity..... whether she has any left of not now, who knows. :/
Crotch kissing.
Straddleing.
Nipple licking.
There were several moments of people declaring undying: Love of snowmen and Lust for sandcastles :)
Cleughy dry humped the sofa. XD
More leg licking
And many truths were discovered about various people but I won't write them down because there's always a respect of privacy after these things. Sme of the funny ones that Nerd came up with were hilarious XD

So yeah. Lots of people went home after that. And the people who didn't came to mine. :) After Nerd's request to go up to my bedroom (ooer) we all found ourselves seats (after I'd sorted it out a bit :P) Ninja, Cleughy and M had to leave almost straight away so I showed them out and soon afterwards Time Spin and X arrived. Nerd showed us an interesting video about Dr. Who but it didn't ever finish loading :P
Nerd stimulated a philosophical debate which actually got us all thinking and wasted quite a lot of time. :D
Nerd had to go home (or that's what he said) so we went downstairs and while he was getting his shoes on he surprised my mother by saying "Jenni, you know I love you right?" to which I replied "yep, of course" :P "Will you get my bags for me pleeeeeeeeeeease?" "Urgh, the things I do for you, honestly!" XD She didn't realise how open our group was until now. How odd? :) Needless to say I got the bags and after bidding Hatter farewell we waited outside.
About 5 minutes later he called his mom to check when she'd arrive. She was stuck in a traffic jam so we came back and went upstairs again, this time to have a deep and psycological talk about my problems, mostly involving L but my cutting thing too. His mother called him so we went back outside to find his car, which we did, but he'd forgotten his bags so we went back inside (again) and tried "take three of getting rid of Nerd". It succeeded. :P The four of us that were left had a little chat before Time Spin was collected.
That left just E, X and I. It was a little awkward to begin with (me being the third wheel and all) but once we found a board game called "Shut the Box" it was fine. We played that for 2 WHOLE HOURS! But only succeeded in shutting the box about 4 times :P It's so simple but still so addictive! :D After the 2 hours we got a little bored of it.... So instead of trying something new we played it with our feet instead! :D

Got my laptop down and showed them my pictures that I'd downloaded and ended up talking to K on skype. I got them to talk to him and so he's met a couple of my friends. Best to introduce him to the less mad ones first, that way he'll be less scared and freaked out XD

Ate dinner and then listened to some music on youtube like "Slipknot" and "Black Sabbath".

Walked E and X home and then returned and decided to call L. :/ It went.... well, as good as a conversation like that could be. I got the break up bit out as fast as I could and there was a lot of slience for a while. We talked a little about being ok and meh and then the line broke up. He called me up and he said that we could still be friends so I agreed - glad that he'd suggested it. We talked a little about September and the Rushden Fair and agreed that we'd still go, and maybe have it the same as last year (although tweaked just a little obviously). We hung up and shortly afterwards Hatter called to talk to me about the break up - L had told her.
That conversation lasted for hours!!! :D and although there were some low points it was mainly very cheerful. We both looked at the same rainbow which was cool (MLP reference!) ^^ Hatter has finally got skype too so its quite awesome - I have many ways of contacting her in an emergency now. :P

Hung up and did some flute. Talked to O about tomorrow. ^^ very excited but also extremely nervous..... :/
On facebook I was bombarded with messages asking: "how are you?" "fine" "so what exactly happened? who dumped who? yada yada" it's weird how as soon as something changes everyone wants to get in on the gossip. Meh. CB was a real help, even though he's going through a hard time right now he still found time to comfort me :) So was Ninja, :) he called me and we had a long conversation on how I was a such :) I'm lucky to have him as a friend. XD The Giant One wanted to know what I had to say (obviously to tell L). Cliffey wanted to know if I was going to use K in the summer to forget about L ¬¬ X was raving about his first kiss ^^ so I didn't want to bring him down with my problems :/ and M was raving about the "hawt" girl in Transformers 3, pausing briefly to ask me "how he took it". I must say - I googled her and she is indeed hot... :P I was also talking to Hatter about a guy at school who got fraped by his friends at a party and included L and I in his status :( what got me annoyed was that people liked it :/ There were also some wall posts but I removed them. By the end of the night though he did apologise and removed the status as well as asking how I was after the break up. He really is a nice guy :)

That was it really. At midnight I made my bed and started my blog again. I finished the blog at 01:30 but I still wasn't tired. Ahh well.
Hopefully things will be more normal tomorrow. :/

Over and out,

Gloves. xx

P.S. Am I entitled to eat ice cream in huge quantities with Hatter when I get the chance because of the nature of the break up or should I just get on with things and shut off my emotions? Meh.

Number 40 - The Day After The Prom :P

Woke up at 7 for some reason... we both should have been really tired but instead we were wide awake almost immediately. We both went straight onto facebook on our phones and whenever we heard a noise we pretended to be asleep :P That way we wouldn't have to get up and start the day :P

Eventually we heard a knock on the door and decided that as on-one seemed to be answering it that they'd finally left. We missed whoever was at the door. It might have been the post man... :P Anyway, who cares. Seeing as we were up we clambered downstairs, quickly looked at the photos of prom The Mother took, and then went to find breakfast. I'd promised Hatter porridge the night before so I made her some. I think she's in love with it :P lol. She got a bit impatient while I was making it actually and so ate a pancake. :P

We both showered (eeew, not together! That would be weird and just wrong.) Dressed after trying to find suitable clothes and muchos changeing of the mind. It took aaaaaaaaages to dry my hair but we did it. Hatter styled my hair with a flower clip and it looked lovely. Her hair was gorgeous - I really wanted to brush it again. I uploaded my prom photos and then talked to N for a bit but Hatter got impatient and pulled me away XD.

Hatter and I scurried off to the park and met up with M, L and The Giant One (who tried to be ninja and scare us but we knew he was in the tree.) XD Twas fun, we played on the little elephant thingys and clambered into the little wooden house. :D L had to get back to be picked up so the boys left and Hatter and I walked le dog. While dog walking we started the vlog again for the first time in ages :P We walked up to The Giant Ones house and completed the vlog inside. :P The two of them were wondering what the hell was going on :D.
We all watched an episode of TopGear "Is it Green?" "Yes..........Very." :P
Looked at some prom photos and had a good laugh about that. Did some chatting but then I had to go to sort my room and do my flute because my rentals were returning from oxford. It was pouring with rain and by the time I got home I was utterly soaked and extremely depressed. :/
Did my chores - tidied half of my room - and the rentals returned with The Brother declaring that nothing had changed with him so he was still ok and didn't need the operation :) yay!!! I've started to get really worried about him recently because as he gets older his hearts only going to get worse. He tried on his new black jumpers for school the other day and I felt a pang in my chest, like, he was getting older and there was nothing I could do. He's not my little brother any more, he's all grown up. :/

Hatter arrived and collected her things. I did some flute practice - a new piece that is grade 6 standard and she wants the whole first half done by Monday D:
Mother and I had to go to the doctors so Hatter left and we drove off - ended up being 5 minutes late. :P Saw the doctor about my skin problem :/ and then mother talked about her skin problem :P but she forgot to ask about my heart. Never mind. I have some new cream to put on my foot ¬¬ and my little fingers have gotten worse. :(

Got back home and talked to O for a bit as well as K and Nerd2. Tried to organise a comfort house for tomorrow but so far there has been no luck :/ ahhh well, we'll just have to get wet. Looked through some more photos. :) found some stunning ones of jenny ^^

Had dinner and felt stuffed, even though I only had half a portion. I swear my stomach has shrunk :P I know I didn't used to eat much but this is ridiculous! Lol. Clambered back upstairs and completed the blog for yesterday as well as started the blog for today. Mom called me down and gave me an egg custard tart.... as if I could fit anything else in. She said she'd call me when we were going to start wrapping the presents. She hasn't yet. That was an hour ago......

We finally wrapped the presents :D So everything is set for tomorrow.... apart from my outfit... :O What the hell am I going to wear?!?!?!?!?!?

Mom called me and I wrapped the presents. Writing the cards was the most fun though :D Especially Nerds. XD I watched "History Cold Cases" with The Mother :) twas awesome. Its really interesting. I might consider Forensic Science as a job possibility :)

I found something to wear. :D lol. I searched long and hard but settled on the blue top that I discarded this morning and a pair of jeans :) I'll probably wear my flipflops too :P

Nervous about what tomorrow will be like. :P I'm sure it will be awesome though XD lol.

Over and out,

Number 39 - Prom Night :)

Woke up at 7 ¬¬ I was not amused :(

Went for a walk with le mother and talked with her about several issues regarding appointments and prom, as well as the stuff to do with L. The walk was refreshing and helped me unwind - I was uptight about what the Prom would be like.

Went to the hairdressers and got my hair done. It took 2 hours..... ¬¬ Next time I shall bring a book to read :P Got home and did my nails. Mother returned from the cinema and helped me into my dress :)
Arrived at X's house. I was the first person and only girl. X played me the tune that he composed on the piano and was still playing when L and M arrived. We all talked and I was dragged everywhere to have pictures taken. More boys arrived and yet more photos were taken. My Ginger Nerd asked if he could wear my dress because he liked it so much and I said I wanted his suit so we were going to arrange a swap, unfortunately we ran out of time. :P Ahhh well, I'll have to get him into the dress another day XD. A slightly awkward moment occurred when My Ginger Nerd and I were forced to have many couples photos together - as everything we went to when we were younger we'd always be together. Hatter arrived and more photos were taken :) After muddying our shoes on the lawn we all walked down to see the bus.... WHICH WAS AWESOME!!! :D It had "Stratford" written across the side and was all colourful :P basically a tour bus :) We had a few snapshots and bagsied seats. Hatter got off to go in her morgan. :(
H and I sat at the front, she showed me her tan line ¬¬ I swear she doesn't care about her dignity sometimes :/ Jordan and I had a couple of "ahhh george!" moments and lots of photos were taken.

The bus arrived at the park hotel and we all "hopped" out :P Had a few poses at the front of it before moving towards the entrance. The others went in but M and I had forgotten our tickets (like the numptys we are) and had to wait outside until they got the list.
Everyone joined us outside and we watched all of the people arrive before entering the photo room (after finally being let in :P). Our pictures were taken, which took a long time and a lot of organisation XD.

We found a table (typically right in the corner of the room furthest from the dance floor) sat down and ate. Hatter got me 4 wedges and 3 pieces of chicken nuggety things :P I tried on M's jacket because I really wanted to be a guy and wear a suit. Apparently it suited me :P lol. Eventually, (after much chatting and texting the DJ strange messages: "This is The Doctor. I need you to let me out of the Pandorica."), we all dragged everyone up to dance. Muchos ravinosity occured until a slow song came on. Slow danced with L for a little. That didn't last long, plus Ninja was sat down right next to us and I felt guilty. After that I raved with everyone. That was awesome! :D Especially when "Raise Your Glass" came on. :P
Much raving and tooing and fromming the table occurred. I took my shoes off almost immediately because they killed my feet ¬¬ H and I stood at the Air Conditioners and lifted our skirts to cool off several times.
I started to get tired so sat down. Ninja looked upset so I asked him if he was ok and whether he wanted to dance. We had a mini dance. It was really nice actually. He was holding my waist and it felt the same as on Thursday. I regret that we didn't dance more, but L would get really upset and jealous if I danced with him :/
A little while later I felt a little depressed. We were all sat around the table, well I was on the floor but hey :D, and I texted Ninja. He said I looked beautiful and stunning and amazing. :') Went to dance some more and stuff but I didn't really fit into any groups. Prom King and Queen were announced. :) and then we had a HUUUUGE group photo of the whole year group together. :D
Tried to fall asleep on the floor and woke up with M and L stroking me. I felt like a little cat but thought it would be inappropriate to purr. :P M then declared that I was actually George! Twas a huge shock, and I was dissappointed of the lack of three tits XD

Ninja went all depressed on us again, he wouldn't tell me why :/ I sat with him and hugged him for a while. He asked me to go away for a while so I danced to "Five colours in her hair." with everyone. :D Sat down out of sheer tiredness. "Angels" came on and I got up to dance with L. Started crying and told Ninja it was ok because he got all concerned, he then went and sat by himself on the table in the corner. :/ Part way thorough the dance I actually pulled away and looked over at Ninja which I felt really guilty about afterwards :/

The last "slow dance" song made me cry again... ¬¬ because it
1. Reminded me of in the tree when we discussed Queen :P Epic times
2. I really wish I could find someone in life that I could truly love with all my heart but that's probably never going to happen :(

The lights came up and we hugged everyone goodbye. After clambering, in a very unladylike fashion, into Hatters mom's car we set off home. Half way there I decided I didn't want to go to oxford and instead that Hatter should sleep over. And that's exactly what she did. :P I quickly asked the rentals and they agreed, and said that as long as we were quiet she could stay. I had to take my dress off in the lounge as my room was too messy and too small to be used. This meant that I had to walk upstairs, with Hatter(!), in just my panties. Well, I think I kept a little of my dignity but now I can honestly say that Hatter is the only friend who has seen me almost in the total nuddy pants, (apart from baths when we were little obviously). We took out our hair clips which took about 10 minutes each and then I came up with the idea of brushing out the hair substances (aka superglue ;P) with my awesome brush. We spent about an hour brushing one anothers hair and we both agreed that we felt like proper sisters when doing it. :)

After our hair was silky smooth and soft and our make up had been removed we got into bed. Stayed up looking at facebook photos and various other things (;P) for a little while before we got a little tired.
"I used to squidge his Tuckapee." was the epic quote from the sleepover :D

Texted Ninja and L a little and fell asleep at around 2:30.

Over and out,

Gloves. xx
