Chess = fantastic.

Well then.
Today was pretty fantastic.
It's Helen's Birthday so she'd made a cake which we ate while watching a video about a 4stone 16 year old...
Then I learned about Rodin.
All 4th I read Alaska...
and 5th we played poker in which I won overall every last chip.
Then I went driving.
Then I went to Nando's.


Then on a walk around Durham to see the lights.

Then to see Chess which was FANTASMAGORICAL!

Oh Happy Day!

But now I'm going to sleep as it's Embroiderer's Guild in the morning... then dress shopping and McFly.

Phewph!

xxxxx

Carling for the win!

Today was pretty gosh darn fantastic.
We had a mass for St. Leonard's feast day today... the patron saint of prisoners.

Tonight was Scouting For Girls.
Immense.
Sam Beeton

He was sweet but sounded Australian even though he's from Nottingham and he has a harmonica called Barry...
Then it was The Days (who we met afterwards and the signed the postcard-y thing)

They were pretty class.


Then Scouting For Girls rocked the place out...
"BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL. I HAVE THE POWER!"

I'm buzzin' but I want to make this blog on Thursday so I'm stopping now!

NIIIGHT

XD

Cripes! It's bonfire night...

I didn't go see any... but I can hear them.
I've already got a cold and I don't want to make it worse by going to stand in the cold and wet...
I spoil all the fun.

But really I've had a spiffing day!

Might be going on another Outward Bound thingy, this time just a weekend, with school!
YEY!
I got a yes referencing yesterdays blog.
Obama won.
I just finished a new video for mine and Hazel's collab channel.
Both lessons I had today were useful and worthwhile and I had two productive frees and a fun one.

I too think it's lush enough to pass on.

Early post tonight because I'll forget if I leave it!

Concerned

About many a thing.
One of those being that I really really want Obama to win the election.
I'm not claiming to know much.
But I actually know more about American politics at the moment than I ever have about the English counterpart. Which is crazy. But alas I cannot vote being 7 weeks away from 18 and in the UK.
I just think, from what I've heard, he's fairer on almost every topic and with him there isn't a chance Palin might end up in power.
Fingers crossed.
Oh and I'm going to research UK politics so that I'll feel informed.

I've been watching Blackadder tonight due to the fact that I needed to do some Synoptic English and this was the best way by FAR.

We got formally invited to the 6th form Dinner Dance today.
I plan on asking someone in the morrow so fingers crossed there aswell.

I fear for my own mental health.
By Sunday afternoon I think I might have imploded.
What with disturbed sleep due to fireworks the last few nights and tomorrow.
Scouting for Girls, Chess the Musical and McFly (Thursday, Friday & Saturday respectively) and then an overload of homework and Remembrance Sunday this Sunday.
I fear for my ability to cope.

Anyhoo.
I'm off to watch Buck's new video.

Tatty bye!

Control, unbelievable self control

Today Paper Towns arrived in the post.


So I got my photo with it.
But as it says I'm not reading it for another 7 weeks.
SEVEN WEEKS
I don't think I can cope knowing its in the house.

Back at school today.
An unexpected Psychology test on child development.
Watched Nightmare Before Christmas on Chiara's laptop.
Art painted on shoes and English discussed Brand/Ross and Noah's ark.

Oh right tonight I had a hot chocolate.
But me and Hazel decided to share the "toffee" and "mint chocolate" half a packet each.
DON'T DO THIS!
It tastes worse than mingles.
Eurgh.

Never again.

But I'm going to sleep now...

Twitterrwoooo.

Cars, or this week Lorries.

Thats right kids Top Gear is back and its laughable once again.

I wasted a day away procrastinating again.
I did finish my Byron essay though. Just.
I took some photos of my daily mes from October.
This is all of them, then a few of my favourites.





I'm addicted to the internet.
I spent over an hour watching Charlie and Alex record Chameleon Circuit songs with NSG.
And only because of Twitter.
And that because of YouTube.
Its so linked,
I love it.

Mind you I'm mighty drained so I'm going now.
No more rambles now.

Canto 1

Dear Lord Byron,

I fail to understand why I must write an essay about your work.

Scrap that.

Dear Educational director-y people.

Could you please make some sort of exam based on understanding, discussion and argumentative multiple interpretations without having to write a timed essay?

No?

Oh.

Fail.

Today I didn't manage what I should have but I got some thoughts scribbled down for a story.
I'm not officially going to do Nanowrimo.
But I'm going to start this month.

"The rhythm's going to get you tonight"
