Wheyyy mayte!

Last weekend I went to Animalmad’s. Twas so cool, we went bowling and shopping and watched Sweeney Todd and took her lovely dog Arty for a walk. It rocked. Also, I read the new Christopher Paolini book, Brisingr- it’s amazing! I’m already hanging on for the next one!

This weekend was my DofE FINAL EXPEDITION!
Day one went really well, everything went exactly to plan, on schedule, it was really good. RE, Pinkandfluffy and I already knew some of the area so that really helped and JM, SK, OS and LS were really nice about us letting them join their group and that, ’cause we don’t really hang out (they’re more of the popular people, if I’m honest) with them but they were still nice to us so all was good in the hood. We had bolognese for tea which was nice, much better than the powdered mash some people had. Ahem. But it was a bit upsetting ’cause LS had to go home, I felt quite sorry for her. Yeah, then I hung out with TMGT, (yes, the DofE group i used to be in but left, haha.) until the teachers told us to go to bed.
Day two, pretty good… we finished way too early, but since we’d done so well the assessors said they wouldn’t pick us up on it! So we hung out, went home… bath, bed etc.

In the morning I felt really bad, my knee is still really painful and the expedition made it worse so now I’m sat eating lunch writing this at home on my ipod. I’m off to do homework. Yawn.
Ciao bambini! Ti amo!

Duuuuke of Edinburgh!

10th Sept- MIKEY WAY DAY! Wore my Mikey hair and glasses, celebrated etc.

13th/14th Sept! DofE! AAAgh!
Day One went really well, no major mistakes, only one case of me walking through a bog in the middle of the footpath, until disaster struck! We were just a few Km from the campsite when we see the Fuzzy Teacakes in front of us and the Chemical Crew behind us, then realise we don’t actually know where we are. So there’s 20 of us stood in a random field screaming, shouting, crying and arguing until we just go back to the road and walk down it. At least we got back… then put up the tent, no rain but lots of mud, ate food in the dark, went to bed. I slept, but Animalmad didn’t… I talked all night, apparently. Sorry, bambina.
Day Two got off to a good start again, and we made good time too, next to no incidents whatsoever. I mean, I did have to dig Animalmad’s boot out of mud as deep as my arm, but other than that… we finished first! Ate ice cream, hung out, (barefoot. naturally… my boots were steaming.) and then went home.

School today was so hard, it was unbelievable… I was, to quote the great FOB, dead on arrival. I could barely keep my eyes open. In fact, at one point I was actually absoloutely fine, laughing away, and then my eyes were suddenly crying and wouldn’t stop! For no reason! It was rather embarassing… Sorry 3/4 moon. Also, my feet and my knee canes. I have a ruptured ligament. :S

Anywho, nothing a good night’s sleep won’t fix! It’s a full moon. Ciao bam… *SNORES*

Ohhhh yes.

LAST DAY OF TERRRRRM! huzzah… Oh crikey, Penfold, we’re 2/3 of the way through the school year! Good grief. (I love quoting dangermouse… if you don’t know me, I do it in ‘real life’ too.
Anyway, had mass today and willingly volunteered for Mass, only problem is I’d been roped into having my feet washed. I accidentally offered my left foot and may have offended our chapelain. Also had parents evening, which was… okay…? We were nearly the last ones to leave- the only people left were me, JD and SkyScraper. Not that it really mattered seen as it always has to have that element of boredom… sitting waiting around isn’t designed to be interesting.

But school is ‘out’ for Easter. I have managed to get a job, babysitting, for some girls down my road which is going to be fun, and might go to Wales, am getting my hair cut, going to London and having (another) photo shoot. Will update you tommorrow on my shopping- trip adventures. I’m shattered so best dash.
Ciao, bambi…zzzzzzz.

The joys and trials of size 3 feet.

Firstly, I need to correct something from my last entry. You can see on my last post that Golden pointed out that I have, through strange wording, made a mistake in that it seems I let SkyScraper kiss my foot. Believe me, this is NOT what happened, because that would be wierd beyond even my level of wierdness. Also, I hate my feet as they are strangely small for the average girl of my age. My size three school shoes, which I had to have specially ordered in for me, even with insoles are too big. One even fell off in the tuck shop the other day when someone pushed me and I lost it- and that was embarrasing, let me tell you! And that’s not to mention the fact 3/4 moon pulled a table over it the other day when he “didn’t notice it!” How rude. So anyway, SkyScraper kissed me, not my foot… which would be me anyway but oh well.

So today I’ve been rather proud of myself, because we marked our practice SATs papers- boring, most would think, but I have LOTS of VERY clever friends, who I can easily say outshine me in probably all subjects, but maths in particular. BUT! Today I found out I ‘beat’ them on the maths papers! Cool, eh? Anyway, I was rather proud of myself… not that I gloated or anything *wink*! Something else cool happened to me today. I GOT PUNCHED BY THE MOON! How many people can say that thy’ve been punched by the moon? Well, except it was just NAP doing her moon impression from the Mighty Boosh, but still. By the way, NAP stands for New Age Punk, because I’ve decided from now on I’m going to give everyone code names. Not for their own protection, but ’cause that’s cool.

Am very tired at the mo because I couldn’t get to sleep last night. We’ve bought Cyrano, the hamster (geddit?… oh well) a new, mind- stimulating, interesting, colourful and contemporary cage, which he loves, but has decided his new favourite pastime is to chew at the windows… Very, very loudly. I was actually quite surprised at how noisy it can be! Anyway, I’d better go feed him! As they say in our neck of the woods, Like, lay-ta baaaabes!
