Ever feel like every tube, hole, nook, cranny & crevice in your head is stuffed full of cotton wool & sludge?

16th February 2008

This week seems to have gone by in a hazy blur, I tell you.

It's half term this week so, for my birthday last Monday (I'm a year older! nooo!), I had a sleep over with my friends. Thanks to Becky & Vicki, who suggested not going to bed, I only got about an hours sleep XD We just stayed up pretty much all night playing games, doing hairs and writing stories (thinking back, I really should have put a film on but, no worries - still had fun).

Once everyone was back home on Tuesday, I fell asleep in the car on the way back from Jade's and then collapsed on the sofa when I got in the house. I woke up about 4 hours later to the Relic Hunter theme tune (now THAT'S how you should wake up) before hovering round like one of the undead for the rest of the night.

I stayed in on Wednesday. Had a lie in, *finally* played some Okami, yadda yadda.

On Thursday we went to Ormskirk with Margaret (sp?). Got some of that gorgeous lamb from the butchers (it's heavenly, I swear), had a look round some of the shops & then headed back to Liverpool. Because it was only early we went to Starbucks & got a vanilla latte and then we noticed the Converse were still on sale in Westworld. Seeing as I had some of my birthday money with me, we went in to take a look & I came out with a pair of 'Assymetrical' black converse. They're really freaky 'cause the laces are off-centre but hey - they were only £14, so can't really argue.

Yesterday I went on a coach excursion to Warwick & Stratford-Upon-Avon with my mum, my dad, Margaret & Vicky. It took a hella long time to get there but they were nice towns. We saw Shakespeares house in Stratford but it was really expensive to go in, so we didn't. Haha, in one of the shops we saw a bottle of wine with 32 carat gold flakes in it. It was bizarre! Imagine drinking gold!

That's brings us to today. I am obviously in my house, otherwise I wouldn't be typing this now, and I think I'm just going to have a similar day to Wednesday (and basically do nothing at all).

It's back to school on Monday. Things could get slightly interesting due to the 'information' we got last Monday, or else things could be as crappy & uninspiring as usual.

Toodles.

Ahh! Lost last night = ZOMG!

I love that show purely for the fun of talking about it later on XD

Thoughts:
-Still can't believe poor Charlie's dead.
-Oceanic 6? So only 6 people survived/got off the island?!
-"I shouldn't have gone with Locke"-Hurley. WHAT!?
-Charlie is an undead!?
-Just WHO are the supposed 'rescuers'?!

Must. Know. Answers.

P.S. I started writing a story about Smarman yesterday! It's basically about his origins. There's not much more to write, so I'll probably put it up on here/link to it when I'm done.

Adios.

Lost starts again tonight. Oooooh!

31st January 2008

We got our Tetanus needle today in school. I tell you, it did not hurt AT ALL when I actually got the shot but afterwards and now, crap it aches. It feels like my whole arms bruised or something. The needle was only tiny!! Where's the logic?! Haha, everyone was moaning all day, "God, my arms killing, is yours?" XD The people who were giving us the needle had to ask us all these questions before they gave us it and one of them was, "Is there any chance you could be pregnant?" I was like, "What? No!"

I finally sat and watched Princess Mononoke the other day when I was off sick. It was on C4 at Christmas and it had 5 stars so I got mum to record it. Weird, but cool, especially those little white tree spirit people things - they were boss but pretty creepy actually XD Oh, and don't get me started on that forest spirit! He was flippin' terrifying in his whole daytime form!! That face will be in my nightmares for weeks to come!

23rd January 2008

Whoa, I couldn't believe it when I heard about Heath Ledger's death this morning. Both me & my brother literally went, "...what?!" when we heard it on the news. Not that he was my favourite actor or anything (I don't actually have one) but I was really shocked about it. It'll be proper weird if they still go ahead with the new Batman film, what with him playing the Joker and everything.

Jeez, I hate it when something unexpected like this happened, like just the other week my sister's boyfriend's mate was hit by a car on the motorway (I think he'd had a little bump or something so pulled onto the hard shoulder. He was getting out to see if the other people were okay and...well, yeah), he was only about 20...

It's so sad. Just the way you can be here one day and gone the next. Especially when it's people who were so young and had a whole life ahead of them.
Rest in peace James' friend and Heath.

14th January 2008

AieeCarrumba! I FINALLY AFTER LIKE A YEAR OR SOMETHING EQUALLY AS RIDICULOUS BEAT FINAL FLIPPIN FANTASY III!!!!

How stupid is that last dungeon/boss(or should I say bossES)?! They could have at least had a half way point where you could save or something! Never mind going through some big huge castle before fighting a (literally) impossible boss that pretends to kill you then go through more dungeon while fighting another 4 bosses and THEN going the last little stretch to where the last boss is and then you will most definately be killed by it! AND YOU HAVE TO START ALL THAT AGAIN! Idiotic, it really is (still not as idiotic as FFX-2 however, which isn't hard idiotic - just plain idiotic. Example: "I don't like your plan. It sucks!" *Lydia buries head in hands*)

But anyway, now I don't have to bother with III anymore. Thank goodness. By the way, my end levels/jobs where, incase anyone cares whatsoever,
Luneth - Lv 62 - Warrior lv 99 - got deaded
Arc - Lv 62 - Summoner lv somethingsomething - lived!
Refia - Lv 63 - Devout lv somethingsomething -lived!
Ingus - Lv 63 - Ninja lv something something - lived!
So yeah. "LUNETH!" was the only one who died. Lawl.
I was thoroughly disappointed with the ending scene, it was pretty crap. The only good thing that came out of it was that I got a laugh from Arc being gay with that prince dude again XD

So yeah. I think I might play Pheonix Wright next on my DS, heard some good things about it.

Au revoir.

Becky- "Sometimes I just sit there staring at the pictures in the manual."

I know it's a bit late but - happy new year!!

I can't stop humming a Metallica song Craig was listening to before, I think it's called 'The Unforgiven' or something :/ At least it's a pretty good tune to hum, hehe.

We went to the Capital of Culture opening concert/whatever-it-was last night. It was actually pretty cool, what with the whole rocking out on electric guitars on various buildings and what-not XD (including the radio city tower! I was like "Whoaza!") I also got to see one of the Beatles - Ringo Starr! Haha! Even if I only saw him on the big screens and him really really tiny because he was on top of St Georges hall...but still. I reckon they could have had some huge fireworks at the end or something though, it all ended pretty suddenly. Not that I didn't enjoy it though!

G'bye!

Friday 14th December 2007

Hey guys.

Been through a bit of a rough patch at school this week. Things don't half get uber-complicated sometimes.

Moving on, my Guitar Hero 3 came on Monday! I've finished it on medium so now I'll move on to hard. When I first started playing I was like, "Whoa, what have they done to this?" but I've gotten used to it now. I see why people were saying it's changed, you can just feel it (coming in the air tonight, hold on). It's like, you can't quite put your finger on it, but its lost some of it 'umpf'. They shouldn't have changed who made the game. Still good fun though, some cool songs on there.

What is it now? 11 days till Christmas? Squee!

G'bye!

I LOVE YOU HEADCAT!!

Tuesday 4th December 2007

I have to tell you, my right hand is so cold right now. Darn mouse...

Yeah, so anyway, my life right now? Same old story. Early mornings, crappy school, home, bed, early mornings, crappy school...and so on. And don't take that the wrong way. Don't take it as, "MY LIFE'S A MISERY!! DAMN YOU CRUEL WORLD!!"...even though it did kinda had a 'mi life sux' ring to it.

...

I just started waffling. My apologies.

Anyway, when I do get home my routine lately seems to be grab some milk & a biscuit & then watch some 'toons. I blame Becky to be honest. But anywho, it always seems to be the last 15 mins of Fairly Odd Parents (I get in at quarter past the hour) and then I head on over to Cartoon Network for Storm Hawks (<- you can poke so much fun at that show, but it's still great XD). Then I usually go on the internets or something equally as mundane. Sigh.

What to talk about...what to talk about...erm...I ordered Guitar Hero 3 last night. It was about £7 cheaper on play.com than, like, the rest of the world, so I'm a pretty happy bunny right now - Despite the rumours there's something "not quite right" about GH3, it's "lost it's charm" and the fact that I don't even HAVE it yet (I'm waiting on the postie). But still, NEW GUITAR HERO SONGS!! Huh-zah!

I'd like to reccomend an absolutley fantabulous book to you peoples - Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy. Finished it last night and it was freakin' greatness it was! I mean, skeletons, detectives, wizards and good ol' wisecracks are fab on their own, but mush them all together and you've got yourself some AWESOME! Can't wait till April '08 for the next book!

Well, I'm bored and have geography homework to do (gotta draw some lame picture for a presentation that then needs to be photocopied and given to my 'marvellous' classmates for them to label as I ramble about floods. Oh joy of joys) so I'll be on my way.

'Till next time my eAmigos! (see what I did there??? With the 'e'??? 'Cause we're online???...Did I just hear a tumbleweed?)

G'bye!

Impressive.

That's what I've got to say about the Playstation 3. Down right impressive.

My brother bought his about a week or 2 ago but I only got my first proper play of it last night. I had a go of Motorstorm - so much fun XD. The crashes are proper great, heheh, especially if you're on a motorbike/quadbike. Then he showed me the demo of SKATE that he'd downloaded and that looked like good fun. We turned it off after a few mins though because he wanted to show me Warhawk. How great is that game?! Warhawk, I mean. Haha, after he'd shown me the basics of how to play it we joined a proper game (it's an online game) with loads of other people on it. We snuck into the enemy team's base but we got spotted so we were hiding in this little tower thing. The next minute our Craig's character has been killed and he's telling me to move out of the tower. Thing is, I didn't realise he had been killed so I stayed in the tower where I could see another player (thinking it was my brother) and got sliced to death XD. Sounds pretty lame right now, but it was funny at the time lol.

Anyway, after hearing a few bad things about the PS3, I was surprised by how good (and really clever) that console really is. 'Tis reccomended - if you have the money!

Grapes HAS MOVED

You can now find the epic story of 'Grapes' at the new blog www.mysweetchestnut.blogspot.com
I will post on here every time a new chapter is added.

If you are new to Grapes why not try Chapter 1:

Chapter 1
Leon woke up hot and sweaty. It had been like this since Ramon Salazar died in Ramon's castle. Oddler Saddler was nowhere to be seen and as for Ramon, well, Leon has disposed of him. So Leon decided to live in the castle with his dead friend's body, Luis.
Ashley heard Leon's footsteps. She'd told her dad she wanted to stay with Leon. Leon had objected but Ashley insisted. She didn't want to miss Leon's next adventure. They had killed El Gigante, Delago, the Bella Sisters, Doctor Salvador, Bitores Mendez and, of course, Ramon. Ashley had decided she would rather risk her life for fun than be bored in the White House. She closed her eyes and fell to sleep.
"Woof," barked Razzle. Leon had saved him from a trap while he was looking for Ashley. Leon and Razzle had also killed El Gigante. Razzle adored Leon so Leon kept him.
"Woof."
"Shush Razzle, you'll wale up Ashley."
"Woof."
"Oh Razzle shu...oh my god."
Leon dropped the milk on the floor. And a grape.

The Horror Returns!

Yeah, so we went back to school today. It's still the same pile of crap that it used to be but I have to admit the day wasn't all too bad. In the morning we just stayed in form till break and then had double geography (which was really easy). In the afternoon all we had was double science which was also really easy. I actually quite like the class I'm in, they seperated top set into two and there's pretty much no scumbags in the class. Hehe, the teacher even said we'll be watching parts of Terminator because it has something to do with speed or something. I'm hoping that it'll be a part from the first one with good ol' Kyle in it, but I can't help thinking it'll be from no.3 :(. Oh, but wait, it'll probably be next week when I'm not gonna be in. Damn. Ah well, I'll get over it.

800th Birthday, 50-something-th Birthday, 20th Birthday

There's been three birthdays over these past three days. The first, the 800th birthday, was Frank's. The robot who lives in my garage.

Although, seeing as how I don't know a Frank, don't know any robots (unfortunately) and don't have a garage this probably isn't true.

The truth is it was the city of Liverpool's 800th birthday on Tuesday. Some funky costumes & sculpture-things in the parade and fireworks in the night. To be honest, I've seen better fireworks.

Yesterday was my mum's birthday. She wanted to go and see Hairspray so we rode into town on the bus, met my sister outside her work to give her the house key and then walked down to the Odeon. I wasn't too fussed over seeing the flick, but it turned out to be pretty fun, entertaining and enjoyable. Corny as hell, yeah, but good none-the-less. In the evening, our Craig & Sarah decided to take us all out for tea at Wetherspoons. BBQ Chicken Melt needs a...a...well, I've sat here for a few minutes and can't think of a word, so, that's that.

And today is my sister's 20th birthday. Honestly, you'd think it was her 70th birthday or something, the way she was saying to me last night, "Oh, I'm getting old Lydia!! Tell me how old I am!!" "You're 19 Sarah. 19 for another hour or so." "Tell me again how old I am!" "You're 19." "Again." "You're 19." "Again."......
This really did happen. At about 11 oclock at night too. Heh, it was kinda funny though. In a weird sort of way.
We're not doing anything special today as a family because she's having a party at her own house. I wish her luck with that!

Well, that's all there is to say.

Toodles.

Trogdor Tee

Well I actually got up (kinda) early today. I still got to watch The Crystal Maze though, I only got up an hour earlier than my normal 10:30. Anyway, it was that time again - time to go the hairdressers. Ugh. I mean, I like it when my hairs done and stuff, but I just hate going. I always feel pressurized (sp?) into talking to them but I never know what to say lol. And this time round the girl who was blow-drying my hair did it so it kinda 'curled' under my chin abit and, yeah, it looked nice when it was first done & everything but as soon as I arrived in the lovely seaside town of Southport at dinnertime KABLAMO! it was wrecked. As soon as I got in the door before I just ran for the straighteners. Seriously. And she said she'd blow-dried it STRAIGHT. My butt to that! I shouldn't complain really, they're nice people who do your hair, but still, it kinda annoyed me.

Anyway, I just wasted a whole bloomin' paragraph on that, even though that's not my main topic for this post. The main course is (yes, as the title suggests), today, as I walked to Central Station to meet my sister, with my mother in tow, I saw, a man, with...A TROGDOR T-SHIRT! Really! He was just crossing the road when I shouted, "Whoa!! He has a Trogdor t-shirt!". I was in serious awe. Serious. I've seen them in the store on the site like, but to actually see it in person......gaspeth.

Hehehe, I've still got 'I'll make a man out of you' in my head. Yes. The song off Mulan. The BEST song off any film I can think of at this precise moment. What makes it even better is Jackie Chan sings the Chinese (?) version of it! Shocking, I know!

Anywho, I'm probably boring you (even though I doubt anyone actually reads all this crap) so I better go. We may be watching Heroes tonight! Huzzah! Peter & Hiro should really...run for Presidents of the World or something. They deserve it dammit!

...

Toodles.

Wish Me Luck

I've got two Biology Science tests tomorrow. That four hour revision session yesterday better not have been for nothing.

Wish me luck.

Too Much Pressure.

You know, my school is full of loons. Seriously. And not the amazingly-hilarious variety either.

I'm in year 9, right, and I dunno what it's like for other countries or whatever but we're not meant to start our GCSEs till next year - year 10. But no, the freakin' Academy has to have us starting our GCSEs a year EARLY don't they?! Yeah, it doesn't sound like a bad idea but when you're having all this "you've got a big test next week, so come here's a million tests for you to practise with" thrown at you when we haven't actually ever experienced any type of pressure like this before in our lives is just....nasty.

Like for instance, we just did our GCSE Statistics exam yesterday when it was actually meant to only be taken by the year 11s. This exam also had coursework to be completed with it too though, so we've had to come in on Saturdays twice (plus once for revision, which I didn't go to) to do that. The thing that really gets on my wick though, is the fact that WE HAVE NOT BEEN TAUGHT ANY OF THIS CRAP BEFORE!!!!!!!! 'Cause even in the coursework sessions they just basically TELL you what to write, not TEACH you it. Damn, that test was hard. And we have up to four (although luckily I only have two) science tests on Monday, which we have to go to a revision session tomorrow for. Okay, I know they're trying to help you get the best grade possible & all that (although I can't help thinking they just want you to do well so they look good for their bosses) but seriously, WHO wants to wake up at 8am on a Saturday morning after getting up at 7 every day for school the previous week. And that means that really we only have a one day (ONE DAY!) weekend. It's absolutely diabolical it is.

You know, I could rant all day about maths tests, ICT coursework (although I DID find out I got a grade B today for the unit, which I was happy about), Miss Askew, the rest of her evil minions, the skanks & scumbags that wreck my life daily, and all the rest of it. I honestly could. I mean, I used to think my life wasn't all that great & that I hated school & everything but, to tell the truth, if I'd known what the NLA was going to be like, I might of actually appreciated everything I had.

ZOMG?!!"!11 TWO HOLIDAYS!!!

Time: 5:41pm

Booyah! My mum and dad told me last night that we're going to Salou for 3 nights in July! Yay! I don't think I've ever had two holidays in one year before (we're going to Majorca in September, that was booked ages ago) and not only that, but it's the day after I finish school for summer! So I get a holiday at the start of summer & at the end! Sweet sweet joy. God, I can't wait now.

Squuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeee!

Playmobil!

Time: 12:03pm

Hehe, my sister got back from her holidey in Rhodes yesterday and she just gave me & my brother our presents - little Playmobil people! (bare in mind we are both over the age 10, my brother being over the age of 20 XD)
I got a little pirate dude (his beard is truely fabulous) and Craig got a little snowboarding dude.

Toys are so great!

Erm...Head check for a Miss K please?

Time:17:00

Riiight, I had a dream last night that someone stole my Subway sandwich...

...

Yeah, I know how this sounds.

Strange thing is, I've never even been to Subway in my life. It was really vivid as well, I can even remember choosing the stuff to go on it - chicken, lettuce & tomato sauce. It was so weird. One minute I was holding the Subway sandwich & the next I was holding no Subway sandwich. Hahahaha! It's so random! Even randomer than that dream with Bill Clinton...
