I'd sing to you just one more time...

Yes, i know it's been nearly a year since i last updated this but that's the realise i've decided to do so...i didn't want to be that undedicated.

Since last April, a number of interesting things have happened, some quite memorable, though that is not necassarilly a good thing, and others leaving no lasting thoughts or feelings.

May and June and those awful exams came and went and i survived. I got my grades in August and was happy with them. History was by highest because i got As in all the modules, I also got an A in English and a B in Politics and RE, though that score was actually only 2 marks under the A grade, so i really should've got something remarked to try and claim the A but i didn't because of the unfair issues i had before with my GCSE English remark. I decided to abandon RE this year because it really wasn't that overly interesting a subject, though the philosophy would interest me now and again, ethics was just too boring to have to cope with. Mrs Irwin, need i say more? I applyed for psychology at Queens, Nottingham, Glasgow, Reading and Edinburgh, the latter rejecting me on very unfair grounds i 'll add... i've been to see all the ones that i got offers from and now i'm having a mental debate over either Glasgow or Nottingham.
Now these exams are looming ever closer and am kinda freaking out every so often when i realise i don't know as much as i'd like to know or don't understand something i.e. Russia or my English teacher is completely incapable of teaching us what we're meant to be taught in Chaucer and that's really pissing me off because i want to get an A but am not going to be able to do that if i dont' have the correct material to learn from but whatever, enough of school and exams, my life is overrun enough with the both of them as it is...

July of last year became a very interesting month indeed. It was then that i met a rather backstabbing, spawn of satan, lying cheating bastard "Italian model" that certainly made quite an impact on the months to come and if any guy ever says the phrase "I'm just out of a really long relationship and don't want to get into another right away but still want to spend time with you" again i will kick their ass from here to Tibuktu (which does actually exist somewhere in Africa, i decided to find out one day) quite happilly whether they're being sincere or not.
For the period of this month and most of August i was pretty happy. I thought i'd found what i was looking for, despite constant warnings from friend's to "be careful" and things i decided to be blind to myself. However in the end i was only kidding myself as became very clear once school started back and i had to deal with the backstabbing actions and the consequences from the wrath of a woman scorned...however i was the stupidest person that ever lived and it didn't end there and i got more weighed down with lies and deceit before i couldn't take it anymore. Now it's dust under the rug...or whatever the saying is...well until a particularly panicing run in in the House of Frazer but thankfully that's all it has been since December.

In September i was introduced to the Beach Club and had a few good nights there till i realised it was full of sleezy creeps and crap music. Tan Night as it's come to have been known was one of the best nights out ever where Laura attacked me with sun shimmer and turned me from my generally Wednesday Adams look into something more resembling Malibu Barbie's friend.

I think it was in October...or perhaps November that the Victoria Fashion Show was and i modelled for it. It was to raise money for our formal and actually ended up being a sucess despite many teachers trying to sabotage it. We got clothes from New Look, Oasis, A Wear, Posh Frocks and Villa. I got to wear a red coat that i loved from Villa. They gave us fully crazy hairstyles, with a lot of backcomping and hairspray, with crazy eye makeup to match.

November was the long awaited Victoria formal. It was such an anti climax and i hate to admit it...but it must be done...Methody's was better. We had a Titanic background for our photographs and when i got mine back the ship was actually sinking in it...bad photography. However the location was lovely, despite the length of time it took to get there. It was in Galgorm Manor in Ballymena. Emma P and i managed to get round to the back with Paddy and Ryan to get some photographs by the fountain and then were the envy of everyone else because of this. The afterformal was in Event Horizon, a gay bar...the toilets were mixed as well, which was interesting to say the least. It wasn't too bad a night really...though we all ended up very very drunk and sleeping in Paddy's car whilst clinging to each other for warmth...there was also an incident by the roadside involving some bushes....not as dirty as it may sound btw.

In December the Institute had their end of term concert and this time Tasha and i teamed up with Ciaran and played Teenage Kicks. It was in the Black Box. We had been practicing quite hard for it, like we had it all together and knew our parts but all the same, we were freaking out a little whilst waiting for our turn to get up. Once we got to the end of it and everyone clapped i felt so good, like i had really enjoyed it. I'm trying to remember that feeling for next time i have to get up and play because then i won't freak out as much and will actually look like i'm enjoying it on stage cause normally i don't get nervous over things like that. My sister recorded the song on my camera, so i stuck it on youtube. So go watch and comment because Tasha and I were hoping someone would slag it off so we would get a chance to defend ourselves. Here's the link:

January and February are hardly worth mentioning, simply the usual mistakes I would make in life, wrong again etc. The first of March was my 18th birthday and it was great fun. Everyone came round and we had cocktails, champagne, some food and of course the nicest cake to have ever been made :) We then went to the Limelight which was also great fun and i think everyone had a good time, which was important to me, i didn't want my birthday being a failure. I ran into some people i knew from the past including David who bought me a rose :) it was very cute.
March was also Emma P's birthday and we went to Box, my first time. It was really good night, though i think i might have drank too much...i remember Emma C and i giving everyone a nice listen to "Tu as un animallll?"...which we also did the night we went out to Tim's 19th at Auntie Annies...oh dear...
On St Paddy's i had to undergo the school's cup this year, though i wouldv'e just ended up getting very pissed off if i was there anyway, because i went to Glasgow with Tasha. We had such a good time. We got the fight over earlyish in the day and then went shopping round the city...the bus driver from the airport asked us where we'd like to go and to this we went "uhhh.." then Tasha said "Where would you reccommend?" Quite funny. We then proceeded to spend the afternoon shopping and i lowerd the balance in my bank account by a nice amount. Our conversation involved a lot of things like "Ooo Tasha look there's that shop! Shall we go in??" "I think we shall!" "Ok then!"...The sign pointing into Prince's Square told us to come in and shop so we were like "Well if it says so!" After we realised enough money was spent, though to be fair to Tasha she was very good, i was not...there too many shops and i bought a fair amount, inc the most awesome shoes ever...we decided to head to our accomdation in Wolfson Halls. The University had given us a map so we were very proud of ourselves in getting the subway to the right place and then located the correct street. That was one bloody well long street...apparantly one of the longest in Scotland and we walked most of it! Though after this very very long walk we got to the halls and ordered some dominoes for dinner then i got horredously beaten by Tasha at pool, many times and i don't like to lose...I declared i would beat her sometime in the future. It will happen whether it takes me years or not. We saw the university the next day and i absolutely loved it! It was such a beautiful building set in the west end which was really nice area. I loved Glasgow a lot and it'd be amazing to go there. Last week my mum and i went to Nottingham. It didn't have quite the same effect on me as Glasgow did i'm still considering it.

Thus far nothing exciting has happened in April but it is only the 6th...i'm determined to find some sort of excitement that'll get me through May and June but as of the 2nd i'll be free!! This summer i'm going to Summer Maddness and 10 days later on the 4th July i'm heading to Argentina for about 3 weeks till the 25th. You better all miss me when i'm gone! I'm really excited about it but have currently done no fundraising and im supposed to have paid SAMS Ireland £700 already...oops...it's going to cost £1400 overall, so umm...shit?? Any help i can get will me muchly muchly appreciated, whether you can help me bagpack for an afternoon or just call in to chuck a bit of change my way :)

Anyway hopefully it won't be too long before i feel inspired to update this again or will actually finish posts once i start them.

Over and out!

Schoolgirls: A class act?

Schoolgirls: A class act?
Tuesday, April 24, 2007
By Gail Walker

What on earth are Methodist College schoolgirls doing on the front pages of all the tabloids? Sheer black stockings, micro skirts, high heels, pouts, er, school ties... jeepers.
Bad enough they totter around Belfast looking like a take-off of the old saucy schoolgirl joke, and delighting dads everywhere (except, one assumes, their own).
Oh, hold on. It's not Methody's finest, but Girls Aloud, tarted up as St Trinian's schoolgirls for a new movie. So, that's alright then.
But you wonder if those Methody girls realise just how celebrated they have become?
Absolutely everyone talks about them. Particularly men.
Protestant men like to get a gander, but Catholic men will assert there is the added frisson of them being - or at least a fair chance of them being - Protestant grammar schoolgirls.
"Peace process or not, it adds a nice wee edge to it," one told me.
(And before I get letters from outraged Catholic schoolgirls, saying 'what about us?', I hear the same thing from Protestant men about convent schoolgirls.)
The manicured grounds of Botanic Gardens? The fine looking Lanyon Building at Queen's University? The excellent choice of restaurants?
No, what leaves the greatest impression on visitors to the south side of the city is invariably the long, sheer-clad legs of a passing schoolgirl.
"What's that all about?" blokes ask. "I've never seen anything like it, though I'll be back on University Road around 4pm tomorrow - 4pm the best time, you reckon? - just to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me."
You wonder do these girls get away with it in the classroom.
Is it all a bit like the Police song Don't Stand So Close To Me, with hapless sirs beginning to shake and cough ("just like that bloke in that book by Nabokov")?
In the gym, is it just like Britney's Hit Me Baby One More Time video, where she cavorts, all doe eyes and glossy lips in her uniform?.
Or are they packed into the loos as the bell tolls for morning classes, rolling down the waistbands of their skirts, and slipping into a pair of clumpy flat shoes?
Of course, not all girls attending Methody attempt the 'hot babe in a uniform' look.
The vast majority of them just seem to wear their uniform as intended.
But - and correct me if I'm wrong - 10-denier stockings and high heels do seem to be a phenomenon peculiar to this school.
Yes, you always see a few girls from other establishments attempting to add a little oomph to the old navy or brown or maroon skirt and sweater combo, but it never ends up like anything on this scale.
Maybe it's because they seem to be restricted to heavy opaque tights, which while very fashionable this season, don't always look so great teemed with regulation shoes.
It's bewildering, really.
Teenage girls have always struggled to 'improve' and adapt their unflattering uniforms. But Girls Aloud, now all in their 20s, running around in stockings and suspenders and school-ties, with their hair in bunches?
What's that really all about?
It's a bit like the era of Baby Spice in the Spice Girls, another grown woman with her hair in pigtails, innocent and sexual at the same time, and all very dubious indeed.
It's one thing to be a harmless tonic for the dads, but where does this type of thing stop?
Nip into quite a few newsagents' shops and have a look at the top shelf.
There among the Playboys and the Razzles, will be Barely Legal or Girls in Uniform. (And, I don't think I am risking too much to hazard a guess that school uniforms often feature in that publication).
Is it really ok for a 40-year-old married man to be leering at schoolgirls on the street or pretend schoolgirls on the silver screen?
Undoubtedly, the new film will have the girls up to 'saucy' antics, which will fuel some anorak's sad fantasies.
But isn't there also a more sinister aspect?
In the same papers that featured Nicola, Kimberley and Cheryl in their uniforms under gleeful headlines like 'It Shouldn't Be Allowed', there are stories about young girls going missing with older men, and debates about bringing in Sarah's Law to keep an eye on paedophiles.
I'm sure it's all just coincidental.

Take my hand and we'll make it i swear...

:) i decided to be a good girl and update with something that may be worthwhile....i think i last updated in January or something...so i'll try to fill in something exciting that happened between then and now.

As you see i've discovered bon jovi, what a legend! Best song has to be It's My Life...song is just so so so amazing. Love the 2 drum beats that come in on their own....awesome... If you don't know how awesome Bon Jovi is yet go forth and listen to Livin on a Prayer, Always, Keep the Faith and the one previously mentioned there. Crossroads album is amazzzzzzzzing

It now being April and all, i'm now 17 :) yeoo at last. For my birthday i got this stereo thing and it had this class bass sound to it and i could control it with a remote and all. However when i woke up the next morning the inside had melted! :( it was terrible...it wouldn't read the disc or anything...so the old cd player had to come back. The new one is still sitting in the garage ready to be sent back, sucks so bad...silly disorganised parents, it's been broken for ages now! :( moo
Had my birthday dinner in the Fat Buddha, joint it with Emma P. Twas a great night to see everyone dressed up a little smarter and get some wee photos for bebo and the 6th form wall, which has actually grown really big now.
Went out to Skye afterwards...cost £8 to get in and the music was terrible! All this crappy hip hop, r n b stuff...not sure which...that's how much i hate that kind of music!

Since then it was Margo's 18th. Had to go find a dress to wear for that. I had strict orders that i was forbidden from buying anything in black...ended up buying a black dress but it had white flowers on it, so twas fitting in with the spring theme after all :)
The party was in the Ramada and it was really nice. They'd hired a DJ so we got some good tunes going. You could request some, so you'll guess easilly what i did...Bon Jovi! - It's My Life, so i was like fully singing along and all that jazz. I said to Laura that i should ask for the Summer of 69 and she said no but HA what came on next, :D the Summer of 69! Yayy and then afterwards he put on livin on a prayer and then Don't Stop Me Now :D:D:D so i started of all these rock songs, twas awwwwwwwwwesome :P
Me and Emma L have been planning out our 18ths, mostly hers because mine isn't for like another year yet and i can't really tell people what i'm gonna do without them trying to steal my ideas! Not that i really have any come to think of it like... i know i want a big one with like everyone there...realised the other day that with mine being a saturday, suzanne campbell who shares my birthday may organise a big one for the same day and steal some of my inviteés! Will worry about that closer to the time though.

Trying to think of what else i can talk about...hmm...well i was at Laura's house on saturday, she was having a house party. It got totally gate crashed by all these wee steeks but she managed to get most of them chucked out, thankfully, they were rather scary. Ended up hidding out in one of the living rooms with emma cook's friend steve and his friends. Discovered one of them was my childhood friend from playgroup who i remember playing buckaroo with at his house...tres random...
Played the Simpsons Road Rage with two different people and flattened them both, it rocked! Though i suppose quite sad really, just how much i've played that game. In my defence, it was the only one that worked for ages!

:O would you believe who just talked to me on msn?? :) hehehe i'm all happy now...and yes i know i know...everytime i decide i hate him he does something to redeem himself...i'm soo silly but i don't care! :D hehe

neways so yea that seems to bring things up to date!

over and out!

:D:D::D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D


....sorry...i'll stop...

^_^

Thought that that would be a cute title...havn't changed my msn name since the last post so i had nothing to put up!

Reread that last post and i can see how i was a little ranty...was just feeling pretty wick about myself. Trying to not care now, stuff like that but yet it's so hard when i just think about "happier times"... you know when you day dream or something and your mind wonders to things that made you laugh... or you see or hear something that reminds you...i keep thinking of times when he made me laugh and was just funny and then when he was really nice...it's so odd to think abotu that, considering now i think he's such a stupid asshole...but then the thing is i don't really...so confusing to be honest...honesty is what i'd like i guess, just know the truth, out right and blunt, just so i can know for sure...but of course things don't work like that do they? ...

Moving on to happier things....gotta love the guitar riff that opens headfirst for halos....listening to it right now, it's just so nice, must learn it some day, although the start sounds kinda tricky...hmm...
Speaking of guitars, my B string broke and now i can't play it properly :( sucks cause i'd just learnt widething, the rhythm part and was enojoying strumming away...then it just snapped! Pftt and i got told off for not playing loudly enough and "don't worry the strings are made of steel they won't break" ...ahem...it did! Mine are probably crap or something....
I want to get a black Gibson les Paul for my next guitar, not an Epiphone or some other copy but the real thing. I think it'd be class. Hopefully i can buy it before university comes and then i'll have a good guitar to take away and then i can play it in a band or something...that's be so much fun!
I thought of a great idea for a talent show, so i'll share it. Ok so here goes! Do We Will Rock You by Queen. Get some people on stage and get them to start the whole hall clapping the rhythm and then someone can do the Freddie Mercury part i.e. the singing, then the ones who started the clapping sing the "We will, we will rock you!" part. Then at the end whilst the clapping is still going on someone on stage has an electric guitar and they start playing the riff...that'd be so calass would it not? And as long as you have someone with rhythm and can sing mm and also a guitarist you're sorted! It's such a good idea, it would easilly win and wouldn't be too hard to put together! :D so have to do that some day...sad dream prehaps but i'd love to be the one playing the guitar...listening to the riff now...then when it cuts out the people on the stage can hold out their hands in a stop position to the ones on the floor and then the capping should stop at the right moment.

Prehaps i shouldn't plan things out so much cause i don't like it when my plans go wrong...except sometimes they do go the way i want them, only it would seem to be thrown in my face later on as i've just been put under a false sence of security...

Again thinking of more happier times...i had Queen's We are the champions on earlier...playing again now...but earlier i remembered the 4th year realay race...it really was one of the best moments i've ever lived through...i dunno why it means so much to be as it does...but when i think about it, especially to this song, it makes me feel great, like i've actually achieved something, for a change, you know? I remember getting the baton and taking off...i came round the curve in the lead but i could hear feet behind me, i knew i was going to be over taken, i was already running pretty damn fast but something went through me, i just took off even faster than before and i got to the finish first....everyone then leapt on top of me with such joy and happiness cause we'd won and it was me that got there! That's the one moment i can pinpoint where i just felt so much pride in myself, i don't think i've ever felt that good since, probably why i cling to that memory...even though it is such a strang one...

mmm when i went there the cupboard was bare...i.e. there were no cookies left! :( such misery...the world is going to end...i can't believe that there are none left...i'm just going to have to take a moment to wallow in my sheer grief here...ahem...

My poor horse has an injured foot :( my aunt reckons it's his tendon, so i have to leave him and see if he gets any better and then if he doesn't i ahve to call the vet out. He's home again though and has a nice new rug. The rug is gold and silver, so my dad reckons he looks like an archbishop...that amused me somewhat...
My own foot is still injured from the day of the school's open day when i wrecked it agaisnt the table. It turned blue and everything...it was very interesting and at least then i had something interesting to look at..now that the blueness of my foot is gone, all that's sore is my toe. But it's not nice, especially when i get up in the morning, it's sore to walk on and that's really not to pleasant when i put my new boots on cause it's as if my toe is being squished, even though i know it's not cause the other boot is completely comfortable...tis annoying, just hope that it heals completely before the preformal and then my feet won't hurt!
Speaking of the preformal, i have my outfit completely sorted out! I'm gonna be a rockstar...of the guitarist type of course, couldn't pull of a drummer even if i wanted to! So i'm gonna have a stripey t shirt and then this black skirt that looks rockerish. Then fish net tights (i swear i don't look like a hooker!) and my cool new boots! They also look rockerish. They're black and have buckles up the side and an awesome stilletto heel so i become much taller :) however not tall enough so that i'm bigger than my older sister...which just shows you that i'm not very tall, she was in her slippers! lol ..ok kinda just realised that yous probably don't care about my outfit but i'm not deleting it all! Ooo almost forgot, i'll have a leather jacket on too. If i had a motorcycle one i'd fully wear it but unfortunately i don't so i'll ahve to make do with a more regular one. It goes down to below my waist but still above my knees, so it goes well with the outfit and as long as i bring a guitar pick with me i can prove i'm a rockstar and not merely some hoe trying pick up some rocker boys :P

hmm it would seem that i've rambled enough
soo...we all know what's going to come next!

over and out!

P.S. everyone should listen to Queen! It puts you in such a good mood! Yeeeeeooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hehehe

Never mind the darkness...

I actually quite like the dark, there's something about it...i dunno, i love walking in the dark now, just as long as it's not raining and if there're stars out, then it's soo nice...had to walk home in the dark earlier and it was raining then, so was not too fun and the 13 drove past me on my way up hospital road, so i was not too happy... i should've waited for that bus but i couldn't have been borthered to do so for 15minutes, so instead i walked home in the rain and had to pay for the bus...yes smart i know...

I'm in a mood right now where i've kinda just realised how stupid i've been over the past few weeks. Everything now...eugh...i really do disgust myself...i've let my morals slide and everything...wow to i feel the consequences for that...

I really do feel like banging my head of the wall but will refrain because that would hurt adn would just end up being another thing to ad to my list that i regret...for gawds sake like...eugh stupid stupid me...and even more stupid people that think they can treat you like their friend one second and then the next feckin ignore you, seriously what sort of a friend is that!?! People like that are just stupid arseholes who if they are such stupid areseholes, why should i care so much about said people? Why? I don't know! I honestly dont' know! Prehaps because i'm such a feckin idiot and seem to always find the most feckin arses of them all..eugh!

Just feel so so annoyed with myself and the world right now....probably sound like such an emo...best get out the MCR after all it's meant to encourage you to slit your wrists or something right? Peh as if!

Maybe i should just end this post before i ramble away into complete and other crappy nothingness...probably have already down that... ah well...

over and out...

Do you remember when we used to sing?

Thought it was about time i made another post!

Well, it's now 2007, a happy new year to all!

This christmas has been pretty good, i got my awesome guitar! :D hehehe! For a look at what it's like you can see it on my bebo, tis a very nice red colour :)

I'm sure you all know Smoke on the Water, yes? I can play the cooler version now, tis very awesome! Took a while to get it all sorted but when my fingers decide to work, it sounds pretty damn rockin! Another song that i've finally got the hang off is Smells Like Teen Spirit, power cords can be pretty tricky and it wrecks your hand if you keep it in that shape too long...i wonder if i have small hands or what, cause sometimes i can't get the hard cords cause of the stretching involved..hmm... Well anyway, the transition is pretty smooth now and you can actually hear the tune...rather than the first time i got taught it and actually had to push my fingers down and fumble around a lot...i remember my first guitar lesson, James getting Kathryn to hold my fingers down but i'm not sure if that was power cords or not, probably was...

Anyways, enough of guitars...

Havn't been up to much exciting, apart from last week's Thursday...awesome night, however i'm not going to drink again for quite some time... ended up feeling so so ill! The guitarist that was playing at the Empire that night was awesome, he played House of the Rising Sun! :D And i remember him playing behind is back at one point too, so people shoudl fully go check him out, he plays there every Thursday.

Went to Sarah Dazell's house party for new years, it was kinda awkward when i went in cause i wasn't like friends really with anyone there but it livened up and i knew people anyway. Elena's brother Matt brough champagne, which was grossss...eww just thinking abotu it... Really really didn't liek it...apparantly i'll acquire a taste for wine, so prehaps that's the case with it as well...but just eww for now though.
I curled Emma Prince's hair for it and my curlers actually went sticky that there was just so much hairspray over them by the end of it!

Went shopping the other day with Emma Lui, James and Emma Cook. Great to get out of the house and have some fun..however the revision greatly suffered that day....as did my purse....emma lui the devil's advocate! lol hehe

Went to the school quiz last night and had Dez, Alex, Craig, Emma Cook, Maeve (not spelt like that but the real way confuses me!) Emma Prince and James on my team...at least we didn't lose...came 2nd last. I embarrassed myself so so much when i ensured people that Tony Blaire was not the answer for a politics question and it turned out that it was! However James didn'te let me hide :(

gtg work now
so over and out!

It was the roar of the crowd that made it heartache to sing...

I got a squishy house! hehehe...freebie from the competition btw!

Well i've done the public speaking thing, i did it a lot better this year than i did last year but really havn't got the hang of the whole "this is soo fake!" competition style yet. The girl that won put on this totally fake voice and her speech was done so incredibly slowly that you could hear every single little syl-lab-le. It was something that in real life you could never stand to listen to, if someone was doing a talk in that voice you'd seriously want to murder them...but yet she won...

Odd but i guess it's like in debating competitions where everything is formal and it's hardly a proper debate where you're arguing...i'd love to see a real debate, like the ones you sometimes see going on in the Prime Minister's question time.

Charlotte Gregory, a girl from the year below in my school came 2nd, her speech was good and i think she did deserve that place. However the girl that came 3rd did not deserve it at all! I was shocked when they said she was in that place! She spoke soo soo incredibly fast that it was actually ridiculous!...ah well...it's not like she got anything for it so meh...

I asked the lady for some feedback at the end...she said i had a musical voice :S not too sure what to make of that but she also said that i spoke to fast...i know i did not speak as fast as teh 3rd place girl, so can she really pick on that? Mrs Beanie said that none of us spoke as fast as her. Ah well..will move on to something more cheerful or else i'm just going to rant until i have to go to bed!

Went to the Somme Centre for a day of history lectures...ended up wondering if this is what university life is like...was rather put of it by the thought... The actual day of lectures was not too exciting, although on the way home me and emma got out the music and started getting really into My Chemical Romance...Welcome to the Black Parade involved singing (silently so don't fear) and the air guitar at the riff..hehe it was a way to brighten up the day!
On the way there, in Holywood we noticed the strange pencil/icecream/blob thing that was painted on the wall and made to look like it was coming out of it just before Rockport...it was very random but rather interesting trying to figure out what it was...Tamsin told me about it before but she said it was a pencil, i thought it more icecream shaped...look out for it if you're ever heading down that way...

Last Sunday i was up at the Burn, which is where my darling horsie Ambro is staying right now. Emma Prince was up with her friend Sarah and we took mine and her horse down the outdoor, in the cold and drizzly rain for a ride. It was great fun. Near the end of our ride Sarah was cantering Bailey (Emma's horse) around and i decided to let Ambro to go too, so of we went and he dashed on past her and flew around the arena, it was class! We decided to have an actual race on the other rein but i thought it'd be a bit dangerous to try and overtake each other, so i just let her go first and followed behind, it was tres fun! I have video footage if anyone wants to see us in action! lol

English cw is needing to be completed this weekend but there isn't too much left to do, so it'll all be grand. I wrote my own question, so i'm just hoping that it'll turn out ok once i've handed it in..i guess i'll find out by the amount of red pen i have on the paper!

Anyone ever seen les miserables? or even know what the story is about?
Seriously go and watch the movie of it, not the musical, just the film. The first time i saw it, i actually think my jaw dropped when i saw Marius...ahh :).... ahem but yes, amazing story. Combines treachery, revouloution and romance! What more could you ask for! Ohh and not to forget an amazing cast; Geoffrey Rush, Liam Neeson, Clarie Danes, Uma Thurman and Hans Matheson. Hmm i wonder if i can get a picture of Hans up here to show you all..as Marius of course, that's when he looks hottest...

Going to go now so ttyls!

Over and out!
