Prom

Well, it’s over. The only reason I’m going back to school now is for my exams. And then that’s it. Finished. Finito. Never have to go back… well, until I pick up my exam results, and then if I have to repeat the year cos I’ve screwed up… but hey, not going to be pessimistic. Well, I’ll try no to be.

Prom was a good laugh. Got a load of photos that people can have if they ask me nicely. Got picked up from Aidan's in a white stretch limo, so that’s another thing from my list I can cross out. I was the first girl to arrive, and the faces of the guys when I walked into the room were priceless. It’s nice to know that I can still have that effect on some people. It was like they had never seen me in a dress before… oh yeah, they haven’t. Skirt yes, dress no. But hey, they have now. So anyway, we all turned up on time, got in the limo, and got out of the estate before the bubbly was opened. Must be a record! Every so often Kris and Aidan were opening the window to wave at random Charvs. “Yes, it’s called Class!” was something that was said from time to time. So we’re driving through town down the quayside, and Adele’s like “wow. We’re in town in a limo. I’ve always envied those posh people who do that, now WE’RE those posh people.” Got photos taken at the Millennium bridge, but by this time its beginning to spit with rain and it’s getting at bit chilly, so the girls are all “this is very nice, but we’re freezing our butts off, can you hurry up already?!”

Got to the hotel, and we weren't the first to arrive, thank god, cos I hate being the first to arrive at events like that, cos you never know where to go or if you’re even in the right place! A little later more people turn up, and then Lucy shows up, and she looked WOW! There is no other word for it. My mouth literally fell open! Spent a part of the night shooting daggers at her boyfriends back for daring to turn up with someone else. Ok, so they’d been planning to go since they were 6, but you know what? Things change! Flow with it! Plank.

Napthan was there. She was our head of year last year, but she left. So it was good to see her again. And Grant was there too. She was asking after everyone from last year. Not surprising really, after all it is how she knows me, waiting for people who were in her tutor last year.

Got some professional photos done. One individual, one with Lucy, and one group. And I’ve seen the group’s prom photo from last year… 8? Is that all you have on yours? Call that a group? Although why we couldn’t just have about 10 on ours is beyond me. But no no, we have to get about 17 on our group photo. If someone could tell me when Napthan and Rothwell became part of our group I’d be very grateful. The guy taking them nearly had a heart attack when he saw how many people he needed to fit into the shot. And I think he did at some point! He sat Aidan down on the seat of a piano stool, or something that looked very much like a piano stool, then had me sitting on the side of it on a wooden bar thing, cos of the style of the stool. And then he went away. So there’s me, sitting on the most uncomfortable and thinnest piece of wood ever, and he buggers off. So after sitting there for about 5 minutes, I decide I need to stand up right now, but Murphy’s Law kicked in, and as soon as I had stood up the guy came back. And then he got Claire to sit on my lap. So now not only am I sitting on the most uncomfortable thinnest piece of wood ever, I’m now sitting on the aforementioned with Claire on my lap. And let me tell you, that isn’t very comfy!

But anyway, we all eventually got in the shot, and then the poor guy had to stand on the table to get a good angle to get everyone in. And the table made this very audible creak when he stood on it. So we’re all trying to smile whist hoping that the table holds out while the guy takes the shots. But anyway, they were taken, and a good one was picked, and now I just have to wait until they come to see the end result.

Had awards. I didn’t get nominated for any, but Claire and Robin were nominated for most likely to be a porn star, Larna was nominated for first to get married, and JJ was nominated for most likely to be imprisoned. But none won any. Doesn’t matter that much. Irving, (or is it Irvine? Had her 2 years, still don’t know!), won worst driver. Broosky, our head boy, went up and did a speech for best female, thanking us for nominating him etc. (he wasn’t, but it’s Broosky. It’s what he does.) And because it’s Broosky, he was saying it with his trousers round his ankles. He then fell over on the way back to his seat, but he had to go back to get the best male award.

I think he may have taken that a little too much to heart, as he then decide to show just how he was the best male, by performing a magic trick, and getting his clothes to disappear for 10 minutes whilst dancing in the idle of the dance floor. Needless to say, half the room high jacked it back to where they were sitting, with very big “I did NOT just see that!” expressions on their faces. So now a large part of the year is learning how to repress memories. I don’t think I can repress anyore without becoming a psychologists dream case!

WARNING: DEPRESSING BIT NOW

I’m going to miss people. Well, saying that, there are those who I’m not going to miss, either because I didn’t know them, or because I did, but for all the wrong reasons. But then again, saying that, the number of people who I am going to miss may not be as big a number as people think. Yes, I have a lot of friends, but there are only a few who I consider to be true friends, who know everything about me asnd still stick by me. I let everyone on a little, but there are only a few people who know everything. And I’m not going to say here who they are. They know already. And I just want to point out that if you don’t know everything then that doesn’t mean I don’t count you as a friend, because I do, I just count some people as closer friends than others. And it’s those closer friends I’m going to miss more than the others, who I will miss anyway. No offence was meant to anyone reading this. Please don't hire someone to kill me... there's a queue set up already!

Well, that’s it for now. I should have some more soon.

Last day, pre prom

Well, I've got 2 hours and 15 mins until getting picked up by the limo... And my little sis has decided to be a goody little two shoes and stay at school and not make up some sort of excuse to get out early to do my hair... Dammed! Hmmm, must run in the family.

I was doing really good, hadn't cried, but then Squoo, who I have known since about year 5 managed to change that by the comment that she wrote in my book which I was getting everyone to sign. Which of course got her and Kel going, so we all had a good weep. But hey, it's the last day, there were bound to be some tears.

ARRRGGGHHH!!! Why hasn't Judi gotten out of school?! I can't do anything else until she gets here, because all that's left is hair, and then getting the dress actually on!

The display never got put up. I was planning it all out, but of course year 11 have exams at the moment don't they, so I couldn't put it up in the lower social, as it was being used as an exam room. But hey, at least Tomo and I had everything thought out.

Oh, you know those fluffy head things that you can get with the sticky feet? Well there was a box of those in the ILC, so of course OWA got a couple and stuck them to Flea's face. So by lunch basically everyone had at least on one some part of their anatomy, and me being, well, me, was going around and getting people to name them, so I could write their name's on the feet. I called mine Eddie and Chibi, but only because I was told that one had to be called chibi... But we all know that there is only one chibi in the world, don't we?!

Hmmm... (does some maths in head... Carry the one...) Screw it, where's a calculator? Ask me to find sin30, or cos 60 or tan45, and I can do it in a heartbeat. Ask me to do some addition and I need a calculator... Isn't it always the way? 134 plus however many I can get on 16MB... I should have enough memory/film left for the prom... I only went through about 30 during the day... Scrap that, 2 hours!

Last day... Do work? Are you kidding me? I only went to one lesson... Because we were told that we didn't;t have to turn up to my other lessons that I had today. And in that lesson, we ate food, played pictionary and win, lose or draw. Some people in my biology class had never heard of the Shawshank Redemption or Plup Fiction.... Which have to be 2 of the greatest films that have ever been made! Uneducated people... But then again, I had only seen them because of the local film guru!

Anyway, better get on, see if I can find something to do for about half an hour before the cavalry arrive!

Update soon, I promise!
Take care. Keep safe.

One day to go!

One day left. That's a very scary thought. i only have one day left at school. And in that one day, i have to attend one lesson. We've been given permission from the other teachers that i have tomorrow not to turn up to the lesson. Which hey, makes putting up the display a lot easier. Before, it was likely to have to put it up during break or before school, but now that i DON'T have to go to MATHS(!), i can put it up in 1st period. Also changed my mind where to put it. Figured we'd leave the display in the ILC, and give the lower school our insights. After all, it is only fair to pass on our knowledge to the younglings of the school isn't it. After all, they have to survive there for longer.

Found out today that half of the maths department is actually leaving at the end of the year. Only thing is, no-body told us until 5th, and then it was the teacher, who thought we all knew anyway. So next year, there will be no John, Johnson, Charlton, or Rossitor. Apparently there's going to be a new guy in as the head of department, but what the hay do i care, i'm not going to be there... as long as all things go to plan.

But then that's a scary thought. If all things go to plan, i'll be going away to uni come September. Yes, this last year hasn't been a bucket of laughs, but there has been the odd thing or two that will make it a year that will stick in my mind for a few years to come. Hmmm... must be the wine talking, i'm becoming depressed about life again. (guess that solves that little discussion on "is life depressing" huh?)

So 'm going onto lighter, more happy things... Well i would if my utterly confused and depressed mind could think of anything... Oh, going to see Elvis Costello in concert on Monday... in theory anyway. This was decided about a hour ago, by my dad, and my mum who has the other ticket has yet to be informed, but oh well, she'll learn soon enough.

My thoughts are all at sea at the moment... (what does that saying mean anyway?)... My next update should make a bit more sense... hopefull anyway.

Until next time.
Keep safe.

One of those days

You ever have one of those days? The type where you wake up and you get through most of the day and everything is fine, and you just know, deep down, that it isn't going to last? I'm having one of those days. It started out OK, nothing major happened... well, i spent all of this morning before school trying to get one of those Chinese square things to work... and surprise surprise i didn't... so i was almost late for calling on people, but i wasn't... just.

Anyway, got to school, normal first lesson where the person i lent my calculator to yesterday for their general studies exam went back home to get it for me so i could do my maths homework for 5th. And so i spent the first hour of the day doing routine things such as blog checking, email checking, etc. And then, when i got my calculator back, i spent the next hour doing the maths paper, before giving up, going on the web and downloading the answers... yes, the rebel in me is surfacing!

But it's not like we used them until we really needed them... question 1 d?

Anyway, Tomo-chan and i have come up with a wonderful plan... there is a display in the ILC of skills and qualities that are good to have... and they all start with the letters R,A,I,N,B,O or W, and 3 per letter. So of course, we cant have the next year being shown a load of lies... so we have come up with our own list... *cackles madly*

Still, at least our idea is nicer than some peoples. They want to get frozen prawns, put them all over the school, and let them thaw over the weekend... but of course it's the half term then, so they'll have fully stunk the place out by the time anyone gets back. I wash my hands of that, i shall have no part to play in it if it goes ahead. Besides, Tomo and i have our own plot to spring.

Maths was sorta interesting. After "doing" the aforementioned paper, only Tomo and i actually turned up to the lesson! So the teacher begins to go through the paper, using the mark scheme that we printed off in lesson 2, and (i know, i know, rebel!), before realising that because we know of the website, we can check our "own" answers ourselves. So he just gives us another paper and heads off to get a coffee... apparently he would offer us one, but there were only a limited number of cups... to which Tomo commented once he was out of the room "but there's only 2 of us!"

5 minutes is what he said... but it was more like 25... and the teachers tell US off for chatting! Grant, Matthews, Finders and Robothem(?sp...?anyone caring) were just standing in the corridor having a good natter, while we were trying to translate the paper into English. Not an easy task, i tell you! Just what the hell does differentiate implicitly mean anyway?! Seriously!

Came home, did some work, fought with that Chinese square, realised i had f****d it up, and decided screw it, i didn't need to do it anyway! (so i gave up... so what?!) Had tea, then compared my answers of my wrong Chinese square with dads wrong Chinese square to see if between us we could work out what we had done. And he put me to shame by working out the answer. But hey.

Oh yeah, something Tomo was discussing with me the other day. Can you put something that you learnt either this year or the year before into everyday context? She managed to analyse my voice, of all things, and got both music and English into it. Somehow. But it struck me that it's actually sorta hard to do. I study psychology, so you would expect me to be able to do it fairly easily, and hell, on some level, if givent he right situation, i could. There's the whole stress management thing that we did last year that could be applied at the moment, but that's only because of the stress of the exams for most people. For psychology being a very "up-to-date, relative science", it's hard to apply it to everyday life... but then that's ecologically validity.

But i finally managed to... OK, so it was something that i learnt at GCSE, and it isn't exactly everyday life... but anyway. The Wizard of Oz is wrong. When the scarecrow has been given his doctorate in thinkology, he says "the sum of the square of any 2 sides of an isocolies triangle is equal to the remaining side" this is not true... unless the angles in the triangle are 90, 45 and 45, but even then its still a right angled triangle. And even then it has to be the correct sides for that to work. See, what the world of school has done to me... I'm analysing the Wizard of Oz!! So I'll stop doing that now.

And then i have a confusing conversation to top off my day. So now I'm trying to not think about it too much, because I'll probably get it explained to me soon, I'd better or there will be hell to pay!And if i keep thinking about it, my "what the fuck" situation that i am currently trying desperately to keep up will crash and burn around me. But hey, the issue is my issue, and can only really be solved by one person. I just hope it gets resolved soon, otherwise a psychiatrist will be making a lot of money, all the amount of things that they'd get out of me if i cracked for them.

Wow... that was a really long update for a day! Hmmm, guess i needed to vent more than i realised. Ah well, i shall retreat back into my shell until next time.

1 down, 10 to go

One down, 10 to go.

Well, the first exam is over… thank god! It actually wasn’t that bad. I mean, yes there were some questions that I couldn’t answer, but then that’s the point of exams, to test what you can and cant do, isn’t it. I think i did better than last time, at least this time I could answer at least ¾ of a question if i couldn’t do it all.

Went to town on Tuesday, and didn’t get a bag. But at least I didn’t come home empty handed. I mean, I did get 4 CDs, 2 which I gave to my mum, as they were CD’s that she wanted but dad got when thy did the whole splitting up thing. So yeah. And one of the CD’s I already owned 1/3 of the tracks due to CDs that a certain someone made me… *whistles innocently…* (apparently the same certain someone is now in trouble with his landlady for not getting permission to leave the shed!)

My dad went on a date last week. And I know that that has absolutely nothing to do with anything, it’s just a little wired. I mean, it doesn’t freak me out like I thought that it would when I was thinking about it when my parents first split, and I mean a few years ago. But then that was before I learned the reason why my mum moved out for a bit a few years ago. So yeah, my dads dating again. And from the “shit eating grin” he was wearing the day after, I’m guessing it went well. And he’s going out again in Friday with her. I hope it goes well, I mean he never asked for any of the shit that happened to this family… actually I don’t think even my mum had any idea of the repercussions that would take place due to what happened, but hwy, it did, and we’re all dealing in our own ways.

Hmmm, it’s a good job that it’s the last week at school… my shoes are about to fall apart. I’ve just found the beginnings of 4 blisters on one sole… guess I’m wearing boots in the exams!

I know that some people are planning what to do for their birthdays, and stuff, and I will get around to that… I will… just let me get through my exams first please! I mean, it’s not till the end of August (hint hint) so that still leaves time for me to get something organised. Of course, if people have any idea as to what I could do, let me know one way or the other.

It’s strange to think that we’ve only got a week left at school. I mean, it feels like it was only last week that it was the “oldies” (no offence, just a retaliation to “younglings”…) last day at school. That was a fun day, from what I remember. But now it’s our turn, and we are the oldies. And we only have 4 days left at school… ever. And in 13 years, I have never been on detention or suspended or actually gotten into much trouble at all. God, that’s something that I should change in the next 4 days dontcha think? (must be the rebel in me!)

It’s just occurred to me how much I use the phrase “I mean”. You would think that I would be able to explain myself the first time round, but apparently I cant. Ah well, something else about me. M’eh. Not really important to anything, it was just something that i noticed.

Anyway... prom's coming up. It's only in 4 days. I finally got a bag yesterday, after spending about 2 hours in the metro centre, walking past this bag stall thing about 6 times, i eventually got a bag. But i think i managed to break my sister in the process. See, normally she is a great person to go shopping with, no offence to anybody else, anyway, she was almost in tears by the time we had finally agreed on a bag. Because i wasn't allowed to like it and her not, no no, we had to agree on a bag. But hey, it finally happened, and now all I have to do is to turn up to get the limo on time. Not going to be hard, considering the pick up is literally round the corner, so even if i don't make it, someone can walk the, oh, 10 yards from the pick up to my house. Already got people wanting photos, and the event hasnt even happened yet. Still, i am taking cameras, so any photos that i deem fit will be put onto CD's, and peeps can have photos if they want them.

Quote: sometimes you just have to say "what the fuck"

Yes, i know that that quote is from a film, but it seems to fit. Sometimes life decides that it is going to trow all sorts of shit at you, and there comes a time that you just have to say "what the fuck", tune it all out, and get on with your life. Or tune it out so that it makes it possible to help those who need help, even if they don't realise it at the time. Being in the latter situation before, i do actually know what I'm taking about!

It's starnge. For the first time in i don't know how long, I'm not feeling like the world is out to get me in somem way or another. Normally there is some sort of shit that I'm in the process of dealing with, but then hey, who isn't dealing with some sort of shit from time to time... anyway, it's nice to be able to sit back and say "I'm totally OK witht the way my life is at the moment". Especially considering what the last year has brought along.

Well, jst posted Lucy's blog for her, because school is stupid, and apparently so is her home computer. Go check it out!

Www.my-happy-ever-after.blogspot.com

So um, yeah. I think that's it until next time. I will try to update more than once a week, but no promises.

Keep safe!

school and shopping

Well, I know that I haven’t updated in a while, but in my defence I did warn you that I would be busy! Last week was semi-interesting… and now I only have 9 days left at school… um… EEKK!! Apparently there is a pre-prom thing on at the Phoenix on Saturday that my entire group is trying to persuade me to go to, and I just can’t be bothered! Something that they just ain’t getting. Heh, maybe if I don’t turn up they will begin to understand.

Last piece of coursework was handed in last week, so now all I have to do is get through the exams. Of course if we had actually finished all the courses I might have a bit more confidence. I mean, it was only on Friday that we finished the maths course, we finished the psych course on Thursday, but we haven’t finished the biology course yet, which means that the number of past papers that we’ve had to practise and get marked is very few, and so I have resulted to getting them off the web. Which, don’t get me wrong, is helpful, I mean they are still past papers at the end of the day, but It would be nice to have some to go through in class. Especially the microbes and disease part of the biology course, which just so happens to be the part of the course that we haven’t finished yet. Wow, that was a complete ramble. If you managed to make sense of that, I applaud (I think that’s the word...) you. For those who have fallen asleep or skim read it, you can wake up now.

Spending this week at dads with both Judi and mark. And I forgot just how damn annoying those two can be when they are together. I mean, they fight over the most stupid things! I think yesterday it was that Judi had complete one of those number sequence logic things in the paper, when they had been "working", I use that term loosely, on it together on Sunday. Um... oh dear? Oh, sorry, I forgot, it is the world’s biggest catastrophe, and the world is now going to end. Of course, how could I forget?! Of course, they’ve gotten good at fighting silently, as the first thing I know about them fighting is dad coming in, opening the door, and yelling at them to stop fighting. M’eh.

Went to town. Had the intention of going there to buy a prom bag, and hey, I did look, I just didn't see anything that I liked. So now Judi, kind soul that she is, has offered to take me to town over the weekend sometime to get me said bag. M'eh, may have better luck with her, as she seems to have been given the fashion genes... no wonder I never had a change in hell! But the trip wasn't totally bust, I mean I did spend money. On CD's. So not as practical as a bag, but still important! (well, to me anyway!)

Ummm, what else? Um... Oh, my apologies for not talking to anyone online atm, but my Yahoo messenger is being a git, and wont let me log on for some god known reason. I mean, it's fine if I was to use my laptop, but that mean's having to find the internet lead that's in the house somewhere... basically there's just too much hassle. So I am thinking of talking to people, if people were thinking about going online, but for some unknown error I can't.

Well, i think that's me done for a while, at least until next time.

GRRR!

GRRR!!! *What the…?* *Changes normal template…again*

Right, where was I? Oh yeah… GRRR!!! I am getting very very annoyed with this stupid school network. I mean, it’s not enough that I have to wait yet again to post this, because for some unknown reason blogger doesn’t load up properly her, but not only that I have only got one email account that I can access, and it DOESN’T have the work that I need for the day on it. S***!

Let me see, what have I been up to recently? Um, got slightly more um, anxious, I think the word is. I mean, I’ve got exams! And yes, I know that all you people who are still at school or at uni have exams coming up and the rest of it, but AHHH I have exams! *Panics slightly*

Considering that this is the week that I spend with just Mark, I have seen an awful lot of Jud. Not that I mind… much, I mean the only time I see her is a t school where she spends the time that we happen to run into each other pretending that I’m not there and that we’re not related. Isn’t it nice to be loved?

I’m not going to go on about the result of the election, and hat I think about it, and the rest of it. Everyone can have their own opinions; I’ll keep mine to myself.

I thought I should warn you all that I may not have a chance to update this for a while, I’m going to be revising for the aforementioned exams, thereby giving “proof” to certain individuals that I know who claim that I have no social life. Well, maybe I don’t, but then again I actually want to do well at these exams. I mean, there are going to be the deciding factor of if I get into uni or not come September.

Went to Ryu’s for an amine fest thing on Saturaday, and saw Kal!! I aint seen her in god knows how long! So that was really cool. Saw some new anime that Ryu had gotten in that day. There is one with a character called chibi. It’s a white dragon, that seems to spend the majority of the time asleep. So I am now a white lazy dragon… hmmm…

I only have 3 weeks left in 6th form before we break up for exam leave… ARRRGGGHHH!!!!!! *freaks out slightly*

self preservations and concussions

OK, I know I haven’t updated this in a while, and I apologise. But in my defence, I have 3 ½ weeks left till my exams, and so every spare minute I can I am revising…so that’s when I'm not at school or doing something Stargate related… *whistles innocently*

Went on the orienteering thing. It was pretty cool. Me and mum were on one “team”, and Judi, mark and dad were on the other. As we were doing this for the first time we decided that we would do the second hardest track there. I’m still not sure why we decided to do that. Anyway, Judi and co. went off running, intending to do it as fat as possible… yes I am aware that that is the point… anyway, they went at is with a vengeance, whereas me and mum decided that we would go at a more leisurely pace, I.e. a nice stroll around Gibside, following the route. Then we came to a section were the next point was about 1 km off though undergrowth, no paths in sight. So, because we have a combined sense of direction of non-existent between us, and no compass, we decided to omit that point, instead taking the path down to the next but one on the trail.

Of course, we get there and Judi decided to ring us to see where about on the trail we were, as they had had a 2 minute advantage over us. So we answered quite honestly that we were at number nine… we just dint say that we hadn’t been to numbers 7 and 8. She got slightly mad at that point, wanting to know how we half gotten ahead of them without them seeing us. So then mum decide to be a spoil sport and say that we may have missed a couple out. No, it was not cheating; it was self preservation, and a desire of not wanting to get lost, like we would have if we have attempted to get to the checkpoints.

If anyone was wondering if a concussion is as bad as people say they are, I can tell you now that they are. The cat was chasing a rabbit around the house, so in order to stop it killing said rabbit, I crouched down to pick him up, and stood up into the door handle of the lounge. And it hurt! A lot!! Of course this was about an hour before I had to go to school. So I was sitting in the lounge after letting the rabbit go, with a bag of frozen peas on my head. And I’ll tell you now… it did nothing! I still felt like sleeping when I got to school. Of course, if you’ve got suspected concussion, that is the last thing that you’re supposed to do, as you can lapse into a coma from brain trauma or something… Anyway, I couldn’t simply ask my dad to come home from work to look after me, as he was in Birmingham. So not only did I give myself a slight concussion, I did it when there wasn’t going to be anyone in the house with me until about 9 o’clock. Well, like they say, everyone has their moments.

So apart from that mini-drama last week was pretty routine.

Went to the metro centre with Ryu for some girl time out. Found ourselves on the same bus as Nashi, Jamie, Wayne and Sarah, who I haven’t seen in AGES! And then when we got to town it turned out that I knew another person on the bus. But hey, it happens. Went bowling, and I got better as the game went on. It takes me a while to get the right spin on the ball, but once I have it I do ok. Of course it takes about 7 turns to get the spin right, so it wasn’t exactly surprising when she sorta…whipped my ass. But then we had another game and I redeemed myself slightly by beating her. Which was cool. Then went to the laser quest thing next door to the bowling… that is serious fun!! There were us, and a family of 3 on one team, and then about 9 13 year old lads on the other team. Of course, because we were older, and there were more of them we let them win. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Let’s see, what else? Um… oh, got my brother writing his own fanfic… I had nothing to do with it I swear! It’s a humour… I can’t write humour. Well, I can, but it’s always bad. But the fact that my 13 year old brother had me in fits is something. Yes, I know I’m going on about fanfiction again, but so what? I like it, if you don’t, well that’s your personal taste, and I’ll respect that. I’m not sure if he wants me to post it or anything, that’s his decision to make. Been thinking about maybe posting some of the stuff that I’ve written, but I’m not sure yet.
