In the sun

The internet is slow. It is a well known fact that it is never as good as is promised.

Today I went for a picnic with my friends in town by the river. It was lovely!

Also I'm downloading Dr. Horrible, at last.
That is making Mum complain though because the scan she is doing on the computer went up to a predicted 3 hours from 1, down to 42 mins.
Silly thing.

Ah well 5, 4 and 3 hours isn't realistic, it'll be less than that in the end I hope.

Almost all done now too!

Oooft. Today was not good on the revision front.

Tomorrow I promise not to switch my computer on till after lunch.

"I fecks"

That is quoting Shakespeare so it's allowed.

I feel I am letting you, my readers, and myself down by not writing thoroughly enough in this here blogule.

I was downstairs mere minutes ago witnessing the frenzied typing of my dear sister as she writes her own blog and it struck me that I never really make the most of my ability to write over here and merely bullet point the ideas that cross my mind or the activities of my day.

While listeing to The Winter's Tale I started a minor tidy of my room but got distracted back to creative things and made 13 pairs of earrings and 3 necklaces.
If I sell them at £4 each that's £64 which is really not bad for one day of minor revision and minor work.

I also watched a film called "No Night Is Too Long".
Danny from Hustle and that manager dude from Hotel Babylon were the two main characters.
It was disturbing but good, really odd but a compelling story.

Alas, that is once again the extent of my day, that and my nails are chipped and deteriorating already, mostly the Ravenclaw nails as they are my index fingers.

Toodles y'all.

It starts with an I

My first task of the day after getting up and doing regular things, I set myself the Hogwarts nails task that I've been planning pretty much since I did my batman ones.

These nails need 8 colours and my first major problem was locating both the varnishes and the crest images.

Back when Harry Potter merch was new these were the crests used.

Look at them.
Lovely and simple and using the colours that I will always associate with each house.

That there is the Gryffindor crest I once had on a bag when I was 8.

Anyhoo my next task was hopefully locating the right colours to complete the task.

Easy enough I found the blue and bronze I used for Ravenclaw last week.
And yellow and black weren't hard after Hazel's Hufflepuff nails.
Silver, easy, green I didn't think I had and it had gone all odd and separate, but I only need a tiny bit and shaking seems to have sorted it.

Red was my problem.
I searched all of mine and Hazel's rooms.
It was next to the phone in the living room!
Anyway, I've but on a plain base coat and typed this up so far!
Here goes!

DONE!
They'll be featured at the end of this week's video too!


One time, when we were about 10, Caitlin and I were drawing a hopscotch with chalk on the path outside my house.
She wrote "fishish" at the end of it.
This was written here for posterity, not that it is funny to anyone but me and her.

I just looked to see how long my video was going to take to save, it said 1044 mins, it's just gone down to 25, and its gradually becoming normal.
It scared me though.

We went out to the coast for tea, fish and chips from Colemans

Hazel and me Nerdfighting on the beach.
My feet are really sandy :(
New assistant...

What amused me is that my phone just went off as I was linking that, my text tone is the Dr. Who theme.

Tiz all.
NIGHT!

I'm not going to lie to you

My sister is actually awesome, she's not only started her own blog but has put mine to shame in two posts. http://imnotgoingtolietoyou.blogspot.com/ Mine is now 242 posts old.

Today I started thinking about applying to work at Tesco.




I love the fact this is how common the searches actually are, it's scary too though.
Deal or No Deal has now been mentioned in Vlogbrothers.
There must be some sort of brainwashing involved.

Last night me and Daniel had a very long winded discussion about his future.
He thinks he wants to open a restaurant and make it the best there is, but all his ideas seemed to be fixed around it's appearance, "Better toilets than Lloyds" was one of his direct thoughts.
I think his real career lies in interior design so I told him.
If he gets rich from this I want it recorded here that it was my idea.

I took time today, between watching bits of "The Prisoner of Azkaban" to consider the
perfection of construction of Jaffa cakes.
They have lovely tasting orange stuff, chocolate that is crisp and contrasts the soft jam/cake, and there is just not enough in one for you to stop.

The captcha codes today were:
hosesh
and
dectrie

therefore rather odd.

Also I did some gardening today, when I say that what I mean is that I crawled around on my hands and knees to get the "soldiers", those tough bits of grass that the mower misses. It felt extremely strange.

Finally I'm currently discussing plenty of cross cultural differences with Ashley, I love this sort of thing!

:D

It failed to post

Imagine if you were born a fried egg is what Jen's first text of the day was.
Then she called all panicky because she's been told it was Emily's party tonight and in reality it's going to be in June.

I almost typed Juan instead of June then.

I'm also, after a day of study, pretty confident on first section of Psychology!

I still need to pre-order Chameleon Circuit, I'm pretty excited about it.
Edit: Couldn't resist, just used Paypal, thanks Mum! :)

"Hello, this is James Worthington from Art Now" Ross failed to prank call me because it showed up as him on my caller ID.

Hmm, revision takes all the umph out of blogs.

Informational overload

In my internet and learning based life my brain is expected to remember a very large amount of things.
During this revision period I'm supposed to make sure that the most prominent things in my life are quotations, exam techniques and other exam based information.
The thing is it isn't as simple as that, life actually happens and bits of my memory will still be concentrating on lyrics to songs, passwords for lots of different websites, what is going on in the life of my RL friends and my Online friends.
I'm still expected not to get distracted. But I am one of those people who craves all this information, who enjoys extremely to just sit online and discover.
It would help however if I wasn't being sent emails from the Horoscope website I must have visited once.

"General Weekly Love Horoscope Influences
The past could catch up with you this weekend when Mercury shifts out of reverse(retrograde) and begins moving forward on Saturday. Information that has been withheld may start to spill out to change the story of relationships. If you've been waiting to make up your mind, the clouds are starting to clear and you should finally come to a decision."

Howay, how vague do you want to be!

What else did I learn today:
I got tagged in a lot of leaving photo's on facebook.
Alex Day and Kristina Horner have a very enviable life, their LeakyCon documentation is awe inspiring.
Eoin Colfer is going to write the 6th Hitchhikers book. XD
The daft Art World people STILL haven't sent the 3rd issue even though we've been in contact with them a few times, last time they sent issue 1 instead. ARGH.
MP's have spent crazy amounts of tax payers money and they're STILL talking about it.
Having Harry Potter on my mp3 play is intensely irritating on shuffle but also quite amusing.
Food smells so good.
There is a bit in Yes Man that made Hazel chuckle uber much. HARRY POTTER themed party.
Listening to half of a phone conversation is even funnier if it's my mum and my great auntie Irene

It's close enough to the end of the day to post this, not much else is going to happen I don't think.

International Towel Day

I failed it, sorry Hitchhikers.

Today I came home early, Alice wasn't feeling too well and Hazel and Fran wanted to stay so I offered to come home with her.

It was lovely while it was sunny, but a bit iffy when it started to rain and we were forced to walk to the next bridge along to get over the river.
Gargh!

At one point someone jumped on a tub of sun cream nearby us and it popped all over.
We spent a while watching these two boys who were just sat, listening to the music, not looking at each other and not talking, after Katie threw a note at them asking them to be our friends they talked to each other but still didn't talk to us. We must have looked sort of crazy though.

"Liz, you've just hit a bee"
I didn't mean to, but at one point I hit a bee quite hard.

I bought a WaterAid balloon from Neil and wrote loads of things on it.
But it popped.

Err, I'm going to try to sleep soon.
Hope this fulfils the role of a blog!

Night!

I'm tired

Oh and Hank, as it says on my friend Katie's arm, Don't Forget to Be Awesome

I was out at this Evolution gig today from 12-10:30.
It was good craic.
We, being my sister Hazel, her friends Alice and Fran, my friend Emily, her cousin Katie and myself, had awesome conversations and such coming up with phrases such as:

She looks like she's wearing what you'd dress a resusi-annie in.
and
Pip six
and pretty much quoting Flight of the Concords and Boosh and the IT Crowd all day.

Of all the bands Human League were the best.

Bring on tomorrow!

Inconsistency

I was struck by a thought today.
"New things get old too fast"...

In a few cases this might not apply but I was mainly pondering how when things are new they're often more exciting or perhaps they leave you feeling unsure, then people tell you "you'll get used to it" and you look back thinking "that wasn't so bad".

I cannot decide if this is a good thing or not.

So I've finally sat down to sort my hard drive out.
It's only copying "My Pictures" and says it has 107 minutes to go but it keeps going up and down.

I adore fresh pineapple.

Sorting computer files is tedious but therapeutic.

I'm going to a gig thing in Newcastle tomorrow so I've decided the day plan is get up, tidy room while listening to "The Winter's Tale", go out.

That's all folks!

International goth day

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00kh2t0/Shaun_Keaveny_22_05_2009/

2:20 ish we get a mention!

I'm going out to my leavers ball tonight, no need for a long blog. all I did was sleep, read and watch a bit of "The Prisoner of Azkaban".

Then do my hair.

I might past some photos in the morrow.

Tis all!

It's OVER!

Not like a Teen Girl Squad episode though, we're all still alive!

My last day in school did not go without tears.
But it also didn't go without smiles.

I've laughed so much today and I adore my year group.
ADORE them.

First things first.
Before school I put the DaveDays album onto my Zen so Dad and I listened to that in the rain on the way in.
Then we reached the gates that were padlocked shut.
First prank then, padlocked gates.
They were opened after a chainsaw or some similar electronic cutting device was utilised.
With the time delay caused by the gate debarcle it meant the school wasn't actually open so we had to stand around in the rain waiting for quite a while.
We noticed this doll in the tree that has "return to Galloway" on it.

And the banner was put up (only to be taken down later).

Tutor was just, normal really, Slane got us with the water pistol that Lewis bought her.

I had frees for my first two hours which were full of me talking, taking photos and laughing.
We got our yearbooks and leavers hoodies which are AWESOME.
Spent ages getting people to write messages, they are the most amazing things ever, I will cherish these memories.

I very nearly broke down into tears, along with our whole English class as we had a final lesson with Mrs Grehan Bradley!
She made us all beautiful "life packs" that have such things as poems, a fairy cake recipe and a camomile teabag.
"This is for if you ever feel like taking drugs, just have a cup of tea instead".
We'd bought her a necklace that she fell in love with.
For our other English teacher we got him a mini cricket bat that wel all signed and a gigantic pizza.
Here is the evidence that he ate it, all.

Our afternoon was filled with one of the most lively, fun, awesome masses we've ever had. About 7 priests and deacons came and helped out and all the music was provided by our yeargroup.
It ended with a song that left quite a few people crying.

My own tears didn't come till the next hour that we spent in the common room and outside writing in each others books, giving hugs, taking photos and talking to teachers.
My favourite two comment is from Martin, he finally appologised for breaking my arm 7 years ago. After knowing him 14 years it's such a goodbye.
After that the rest will make me cry every time I look back at them I'm sure!


OH and Muzzly was actually happy with the padlocking thing because apparently that is the symbol of St. Leonards, or friendships and new opportunities.

q22 is the new aww, according to Peter.


I'm drained.
I'm going to sleep soon.
I want to make a video of today tomorrow, but I fear it'd just be mediocre.

Night y'all.

Imagine if...

Jen has this thing, practically every day she will say a sentence that begins with
"Imagine if I was/you were born a..."
Then fills the gap with an animal. Most commonly ape, but it has been known to be a hamster, salamander or ape.
Today she said, "Imagine if you were born a waste paper basket?"
That would be rubbish.


So those are my mediocre Ravenclaw nails.

Today we made this huge banner for our leaving tomorrow.
It was mega fun painting it and being the one people looked to for help, guidence and general arty skills.
Hope Murray likes it.

I'll put in a better picture when it's hung up tomorrow!
:)

When I got in today there was a parcel waiting, a signed copy of DaveDays album!

Wooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Life is gooooood!

In summary

Oh dear, it's late again and I'm not allowed another night online because exams are practically on me and this internet malarky is a distraction.

So today was fun!

I had Psychology where I learnt about research methods.
Then we had an awesome English last lesson with Mr Hughes about Synoptic, we ate foods and he'd brought in a basket of his children's toys and things that might relate to quotations and poems that we knew.
At one point, lacking in something religious he slyly took down the crucifix from the wall and put it in the bag.

Then we had a lesson with GB on The Winter's Tale and I, and some others, did presentations.

Then over lunch we had a goodbye English Synoptic lunchtime where we played a most amusing linking game too.
Also, Mrs GB had made cakes again and they were lovely.

Then in General RE, which for some daft reason we still had to sit through, I head a really really good time and laughs with Laura, Jen, Maddy and Phil.

AND THEN!

We had a free with Jen, Daniel, Sabina, Julene, Chinique and I.
It was hilarious too.
I'm going to miss these people so much.

After all of that school I had yet MORE English because I chose to go to the Juan talking session after school.
It was really helpful once again.

Since then I've been home, watched the influx of videos in my inbox, and revised Byron.

YEY!

Bed now.

xxx

I ♥ Mum

I had a crisis again today, forgetting to save a piece of crucial work to my pen drive and Mum drove to school with my laptop and saved me from being very scared by Mrs. GB.

That is about all that happened.
We had Psychology in odd rooms because our usual one was being used for an exam...

Oh! Dad demo'd a gateaux in school today and that was tasty.

I found a book called "the Magical Worlds of Harry Potter" by David Colbert.
It was written just before book 5 so it's a bit, out of date, but I've moved it to my "to read" pile.

Oh, and snog, marry, avoid on bbc3 is just hilarious.

Peace out!

It was utterly butterly.

Dad read out the message that he's going to say for his Tutor group who he's had for 5 years now and he used the conceit of the sea through it all, it's smashing.

I'm finding it hard to write anything today, the weather has been miserable and I've just been surrounded with bits of paper and notes and such like.

I really want an early night.
I doubt that will happen.

I'm so happy, I added a group to my msn contact list today called "Youtubers" Ashley is in there by herself at the moment. It's so jokes!

X Men 3 is great, I finished watching it today.
I cannot believe it took me so long to get round to it!

Interrupted

Video, Yep I do do them!
My sister and I do them together sometimes, usually just one each on alternate weeks.
I'm onto my second attempt at uploading!
Third.
Fourth.

Finally it's up!

Nana rang, asking me when I finish school.
Then when Hazel does.
She finished on Thursday.
I'm sure Nana already knew...

I watched a bit of X-Men 3 today.

I also wrote quite a bit about Polixenes.

I love our household.
We'll get excited about which person gets to be a Dr. Who alien on Barrowman's TV show.
I can use a towel to dry my hair that we've had since I was a baby, it's got a hood bit with bears on it.
I think we're going on a summer holiday of a tour of France/Belgium which will be awesome.

Tomorrow I have 3 essays to write.
Wish me luck!

Inwisable

Jen just put on webcam to show me a Batman figure.
:D

The Star Trek film made today awesome!

Ouch, I should have written this earlier when I was still capable of remembering what made today awesome and notsome.

I didn't do much but revise and draw and stand outside in the rain because we had a fire drill.

Sigh.

I was making this week's video instead of writing this.

Tomorrow is a different day!
(Avril L. lyrics come into my head at the oddest times)

I have quite a bit to say

But it's just little things, so I'll come out weird.

Today GB called Hannah a Winter's Tale quote ferret.
That was strange.
So was the book of knitting fashion and the CD Joey had of "the best worship songs... ever!"

I'll love GB forever because she says things like "Time is another hot potato for this year".

At Caitlin's they were having a Bad Bent Bike Day.
Her Dad's bike was chained to someone else's so he had to walk home and her brother's got stolen.
It had her Dad's good tyres on as well.

The other day Dad told me this Joke and I passed it on today.
"What is the difference between a camera and a sock?"
"One has five toes in it the other has foe-toes in it"

Bad jokes wise, Caitlin's brother once come up with a great one, one that has gone down in history.
One that was pretty apt for today.

"What do you do if you see someone stealing your bike?"
"Throw a fridge at them"


Thank-you, and goodnight!

Iambic Pentamiter

I have just finished watching the first episode of the new series of Flight of the Concords, verdict: hilarious.

Today Emily was doing a photo shoot for her Art and had Jen in her PJ's on a bench outside. She also had a load of Barbies which made for an amusing lunch time.

In 5th today Jen and I were scribbing on a piece of paper and she wrote a piece of rather terrible music.
She called it Lullaby for a Swine.
It has 1/4 as the time signature and a 6 beat note that has to be cut in half by the bar line.
She is a bit ignorant of music.

I've found the perfect tie. I so very much am going to buy it.
Sucks to the film people!

I'm going to shower now, I crave sleep!

I feel really bad now

Mum wanted her Escher postcard book back.
I don't have a clue where it is within the crazy depths of my room.

But I did teach some small children how to do the recovery position.

Nothing very much happened this Tuesday.

Mr Hughes still has my book.
I need to plague him for it.
I leave for ever next Thursday.

x

I love the cake my Mum makes

But I really dislike days like today.
I felt like a lost cause.
I wanted to be anywhere else doing anything else.
Preferably I would have spent today on a blanket on a sunny patch of grass with some music, food and good people, making daisy chains, discussing Harry Potter and taking photos.

But instead I revised approaches in Psychology, re-did my art essay, read about and talked about reviews of Winter's Tale.
Now I have to sit and write context questions.
Then an essay.

To top it off I've had the taste of butter in my mouth all day!
ARGH.

*sigh*

Oh yeah! I forgot about this.
There is this girl in our year who, through a conversation she had with a teacher in front of the class, called practically every girl in our school fat.
Just because she has the body of a 12 year old.
A size TEN is not fat.
I know American sizes are different and I have a few American readers so here goes my attempt to explain her stupidity.
Your 0 is our 4 so she would be saying that your size SIX, is fat.
Seeing as the average here is a 16 I think.
anything up to a 16 I would considered healthy and less than an 8 would be ill.
This girl prides in being a UK 6, supposedly.
I wanted to smack her in the face.
Grace wished thyroid problems on her.
It wouldn't have been as bad if she was just being dim and made a mistake in her phrasing saying that there were no blazers small enough for her. But it seems when she was questioned she stuck to her view. That and she's rather obnoxious.

Alas, I'm choosing not to name her.

Incidentally

If I don't find a dress, any remotely nice dress, that fits the idea of more than casual but less than fancy, I'll just wear this black one I bought a while ago.
I don't feel the need for something fancy but In my minds eye there is a dress somewhere that is a nice bright colour and had a square neckline. I cannnot however see me finding and buying it before the Thursday after next.

I adore sitting on my bed warm inside while it rains really heavily outsi-

I got interrupted while I was typing that because the phone rang.
I'm alone in the house so panic sets in, uninvited and unnecessary panic, that I'll miss it.
The thing is, to get to the phone, I had to move my laptop from my lap, and clamber off my bed, across my floor, next door and to the phone.
It was Nana kindly telling me that it is raining.
I told her that it was just me here because Mum is out doing a sponsored walk (I do not envy her one little bit) and Hazel and Dad are at Hazel's sponsored swim.
That was it.

It's hail now.
HAIL.
In May!
It's so loud I cannot hear the radio at its current volume.
It didn't rain where Mum was walking! Lucky!

"Numero bambini"
"How many children?"
"Correct"

Oh incidental communication!
:)

I have little to say other than I'm sick of Byron.
I like it an all it's just trapped my mind.

I want a hero: an uncommon want

ARGH
My CD burning drive makes a really odd noise.
I don't like it.
I'm burning some iTunes files to a CD so I can rip them off then put em on my Zen.
Except that doesn't work does it?
Stooooopid.
I need to work out how to convert those files to mp3 and not mp4.

I was woken too early today by my own head.
Then I actually had to get up and ready so we could take Hazel to Band and I could turn up to Embroider's Guild just to say sorry and leave.

I have so much English and Psychology revision and essays and the like to do.
But I also need a dress.
So we went shopping.

There is a guy on Radio 4 called Ricky Salmon.

I still managed not to get a dress.
I got some shoes though and three tops.
:)

I'm editing together a clip video of spare bits I think might be found fairly amusing.

Byron ftw!

I really need to expand the notes I made earlier

Walking home today I realised that there is some idiot tagger making my lovely walk horrible.
For a full 15 minute stretch of my journey I was attacked visually by a horrible scrawled CSC tag on every possible surface; benches, busstops, bins, fences, doors, signs. ARGH it's ugly graffiti, horrible, has no meaning and looks so skanky!

Earlier, going through the centre of town I was stopped by an action for children charity representative dude. He was really nice but I dont think I could commit to a charity when I don't have an income!

TKMAXX has failed my for a leaver's ball dress, I'll have to go elsewhere!

I only have 8.5 days in school left, ever.
:|

Steph turned up to Rangers upset because her rat died but Jen (our leader) countered this with the knowledge that she's 13 weeks pregnant.

:D

I'm up too late, sleep now.

Implodes

Sometimes my brain reaches overload, when I haven't had much sleep and I reach a point when all I really want to do is escape into some degree of fantasy.
Whether this takes the form of book or film, or discussion or just daydreaming it usually is restricted by the actual ways of the world.

For example school.
Bleh.

Mrs. G-B said that today we HAVE to plant a tree in the summer to repay the earth for the stupid amount of paper that our course has used seeing as we were given over 100 sheets of A4 today!

I wrote this on a piece of paper today.

Maddy saw it later in the day because I'd just left it laying around in the common room.
It was mint that she deciphered it!

At Cait's tonight we talked about swine flu, how we could end up getting into Uni without actually sitting our A Levels, the EU and lies pumped out by the media, and old games we used to play at juniors.
I adore the conversations we have.

*sigh*

Got to stop typing.

EDIT: In answer to Ashley's questions:
The writing in gnommish says "If you can read this then you win at life"
I don't go to a boarding school and I cannot really comment on other schools but the "common room" is just for sixthform (the two years of A level study 16-18y/o). It'd just a big room with chairs and tables for studying and sitting in in free periods.
It's not like the "common room" idea in the Harry Potter books, not really.
The tree is a suggestion that we should do ourselves out of the goodness of our hearts.

:)

I sang in Elvish today

We've got a rather large amount of music on the go in choir and one of the new ones we started today was a LOTR one which has a bit in elvish.
Mind you the rest of it is insanely boring for Altos, pretty but dull.

Oh gosh at lunchtime today we had a raucous time singing through bits of hymns that we used to sing at our respective Primary schools.
"I WILL GO LORD, IF YOU LEAD ME, I WILL HOLD YOUR PEOPLE IN MY HEART!"

Eeeeh.
I actually like writing and knowing and discussing the texts we do for English it is just the act of "getting started" when approaching an essay that really irritates me.

I also keep having moments in my life where all I want to do is sit down and write out my thoughts in the Gnommish from Artemis Fowl.
I've just looked it up so that I could spell the name right and ended up downloading it.

:D

Nerdcore!

Irrelevant

Oinkbarf
These Nerdfighter things become ingrained in my vocabulary very quickly.
I referred to it too many times today.

Soon there will be a day that, if I get up early enough, will hold the time

040506070809

Well, 04:05:06 on the 7th of the 8th month '09.

That's pretty jokes.

We got the results back from our English mock exam today.
Overall I got a B with 67/80.
In reality though my course work would make it 87/100 (because I'm pretty sure I got full marks).
And in reality the boundaries aren't as high as an average of 18 on each exam.
It's closer to 16/20.

What got me down was the Don Juan essay that I got 10/20 on because I physically didn't have time to revise for it and had a headache in the exam itself.
I went on an Outward Bound weekend the days before and had an Art exam on the morning of it too.

This puts me in a very happy place for the real thing in a few weeks though!

:D

I've been reading more synoptic-y stuff tonight.
Joy.

I am no stereotype

I might be a teenage girl who blogs.
But that doesn't file me off into a label.

Ashley posted this in her blog last night and I thought I would also post my response.

I was on Omegle again and met this 18 year old girl from Bristol. Right after I told her my asl (16/f/US), she asked me if I could 'disconnect, no offense'
I said errr why!? and later she told me that I was not what she expected. What did she expect? That I would ramble about what new dress I got or who I was going out with? On the contrary, that is exactly what she did. She talked about her senior prom.

Seriously, do most British think of American teenagers this way? That we are these stuck up princesses that get whatever they want? Whoever these people are, I would like to hit them around the head and give them a bit of common sense. True, a lot of the girls are like that here, but when I talk to my friends in other countries around the world, I find that to be true as well in most cases. Not all of us are like that. *scowl* So question to you all, especially Elizabeth, do Brits really think of us this way? (Otherwise, I find that people's opinions of American adults quite true...well, somewhat anyway.)

That is very difficult to say in all honesty because I know none of my close RL friends think this, probably because we have an American friend who came over here 7 years ago and she's proved stereotypes wrong.
I would say opinions like that Bristolian's are definitely down to the media's influence and the fact that people like her are not on the internet to CHANGE their perceptions of what has been fed to them through the close-minded television companies.
The first people I spoke to online, that were not my RL friends through messenger, were some girls in a guild on Neopets.
The thing is we stuck together in this guild and became pretty close friends for a time and the things we talked about off the site were pretty much every topic. Already I was accepting that there are people out there who care as little about some things as I do and as much about others in the same way. (does that make sense?)
Anyhoo, I really do not think so stereotypically about anyone I meet online anymore especially as most of them are Youtubers or Nerdfighters or the like, but I cannot say that about the general American population. I still see, and you can dislike me for this, a hellova lot of proof that there are plenty of American girls who do fall into the stereotype that girl expected, JUST as much as I see daily teenagers over here in the UK filling every single stereotype we've laid out! The problem is that a lot of people are close minded and do not know what to expect from actual experiences with individuals rather than mass produced average experiences.

I hope this makes sense to you because it was a pretty loaded question and I think I got carried away!


Well that was something I wanted to say and could definitely expand on very thoroughly but I really should just post this now and do some work so that I don't have "BLOG" on my list of things still to do.

t's'all

If it's good enough for Jesus it's good enough for us

We went to see Benjamin Zephania talk about his life today, interspersed with poetry.

I was first bought his book "Gangsta Rap" about 4 years ago and I really loved it.
I've since read a fair few others from the library or friends.
One I even still had of Caitlin's so I got that signed too.

He was so lively, he's lived and he is clearly very intelligent.

I've spent so much of my childhood going to see my favourite authors and getting them to sign books and whatnot.
I'm so glad that now I'm 18, and so technically an adult, Mum still finds out about these things and makes a worthwhile time investment in them.

The blog title is something he said that he loved that Bush has said a while ago.
Just within the context of his speech it was hilarious.

I'm so glad that I have tomorrow off school.
I need to get a crackalakin with the Canto 4 contexts.

It's not the Juan I'm looking for.

Oh literary puns how you amuse me!

I was reading up about AdSense.
I don't know wether it is worth sorting out.
I doubt I get enough hits to make any money! :p

I'm going out to a party tonight dressed as batgirl.
I'll put a photo in so you can see.



Oh gosh.
Good party.
And a good job it isn't BEDA anymore because I've clearly hit tomorrow.

I almost forgot...

... to start with an I.

I've just got in from walking home which is a thing I very rarely do.
It takes a whole hour and usually I don't have the time to spend.
On Friday afternoons however I have a double free so I decided it would be a worthy effort.
The best thing is that I could listen to the lovely Stephen Fry read me Book 6, again.

:D

The word recalcitrant is stuck in my head.

I'm just about to go out for a family meal.
Om nom nom nom
We went to Bella Italia.


Oh yeah, this morning we had a talk from a 'Relationships' woman.
The first time in our school.
I'M EIGHTEEN.
You'd have thought they'd have got round to this essential life talk thing a bit sooner.
Then again it is a Catholic school.
Geeez.

The Big Bang Theory is the best tv show on at the moment.
By a long way.
