Week Two.

As you might have guessed the weekly blog hasn't gone according to plan. Perhaps I'll just blog when I have the time from now on...

Anyway, a catch up on what's been happening since the 15th August. Got exam results: 3 A's and 1 A*. Very happy indeed. Went to Reading Festival. Good times. Started Sixth Form. Not as different as you would think. Started Art at Chatham Boys (not that bad). Saw Scott Pilgrim. An excellent film. Lost job (saved the awkward moment when I quit). Got a new job. HOORAH! Got hair cut again (short). Am about to dye hair again (coppery brown). Saw Vampires Suck today. Thought it would be crap. Was actually quite funny. Went to see Muse. By far best band I've seen. Looking forward to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One. Got a spot as 'Head of Music' on local magazine. Very lucky. Excited to see what happens now...

Week One: 9th/15th August.

A bit of a vague week happening here. Monday: trip to Bluewater with Laura. Got bus sick (bad times). Conned into buying a £42 skirt from Urban Outfitters. Took it home only to discover that it was ripped. Typical. Tuesday: cinema trip to see Step Up 3. Bloody good film. Hate 3D, very bad for the eyes. First McDonalds chocolate milkshake of the week after a bit of a fiasco. Wednesday: walk along the river. Tested new camera (it's pretty decent). Did cowboy impressions with mum. Made chocolate Crispies. Ate Chocolate Crispies. Thursday: Hair cut, fringe a bit too short. Friday: Cinema with Ashleigh. Caught in a downpour on the way. No films for about two hours which led to second McDonalds chocolate (chicken fat) milkshake of the week (never again). Did the lottery for first time. Saw Inception, vaguely understood it but not really. Saturday: Work, stuck half price stickers to shoes for three hours. Led to foot cramp. Failed attempt at dying hair two different colours at the same time. Three different shades of pink now. Looks a bit crap but I quite like. Thanks mum. Went to cinema (again) to see The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Bit anticlimatic, alright though. Today: Checked lottery numbers. Lost the lottery for the first time. On YouTube watching trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs The World (MUST SEE!). Roast dinner later, can smell chicken now (should probably go and check that). Might watch (500) Days of Summer... might not. You never know.

Weekly Blog.

There are a lot of good times occurring right now and a lot of things going on that I would like to remember. In order to keep all these things lodged firmly in my memory I'm going to be avidly blogging away every week about all the little things happening in my life. You can read this if you want to, it won't necessarily be interesting. More a blog for myself.

Another Update.

As you might have guessed, I really don't have much to talk about at the moment. However, Laura has told me to blog and so I shall.

Firstly, exams are nearly over. One more to go. Bloody Media. Wish me luck. I think the other exams all went fairly well. ICT was my biggest success because this time I did not poke myself in the eye with a biro and I read the whole textbook cover to cover so I think I can safely say that I know my s***. I made my entire English exam up on the spot but what else was I supposed to do? Twelve whole pages of notes on stupid A2 paper and the question was on something that I had a grand total of two quotes for. That's life I guess.

Last week was the Alton Towers trip which was good. I got pooed on by a bird (fourth time in three years) and it wasn't even on my head so I don't get any good luck either. THANKS BIRD, YOU BIG NINNY! Laura moaned at me because the dates were rearranged because I had work and refused to skive off (I am a mature and responsible person... sort of) but it turned out to be a good thing because we went a day earlier and it was hot and sunny so IN YOUR FACE LAURA! (Ps, I know you're reading this and I'm only messing with you).

All this World Cup nonsense is starting to piss me off. It's football, not the end of the world. Besides, I am a tennis fan and I will be watching Wimbledon instead. Yesterday's game particularly annoyed me due to the fact that the commentators were completely biased and wanted Federer to win. Seriously, give someone else a chance already! Anyway, I wanted to write in and complain about how rude they were but Karma beat me to it because their microphones broke and nobody could hear them. AVV IT!

That's about all for now I suppose.

PS. THE SECOND BATTLE IS APPROACHING! ARE YOU READY?!?
