The Pocket Mystery is Solved!

I will be the 6th former munching Oreos whilst everyone else enjoys "World Perspectives".

☆

The pocket mystery has been solved!! Although the trouser pockets are fake, the jacket pockets are, in fact, pockets. Only, they were sewn up. Apparently this is to keep the jacket's shape whilst it's in the store. (They could write that on the tag or something |x )

***

Also, another occurence of confusion has arrived! Apparently; we don't do general studies next year, ohh no. We study 'World Perspectives'. Just as useless, just as boring; basically the same subject, just with a different name.

I still refuse to take it >) 

***

In other news.

We have been notified that there is going to be one new girl joining us next year. Just one.

Wayy over 30 of us have left, and only one is joining. We are going to be one small year group!

Embarassing for the new girl, but even more embarassing for the school.

***

More news!

Titanic is on channel five! 2 and 1/2 hours in and the panic is only just about to set in!! 

Such a traumatic movie... Last time I watched it, I was in tears for hours and hours!!

I must say though, I really love the String group!! <3

***

Anyway, I shall leave you all for now~ bye byeeee

**EDIT**

========

Say hi to my friend Sodium('s hat) !!

School...! crap!

The fugly see-through shirt mum got me for 6th form serves for one purpose and one purpose only.

Cosplay.

☆

School. That ...most wonderful of places is looming ever closer, and my days of manga making, watching pokemon movies and doing nothing particularly important, yet extremely fun with the best people in the world are slowly drawing to a close.

Shit.

Where the hell did summer go!?

I remember... prom, karaoke, camping, the cruise, seeing the hangover, seeing orphan, and then a sort of mish-mash of hide and seek, trampoline, orange-milk and mario kart. Oh, and Alton Towers and pokemon movies.

But why did it go so quickly!? whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!

Thinking about it, I wouldn't change anything about this summer. It's been the best summer ever...!!

...Until Thursday.

As many of you may know, Thursday 27th August 2009 was GCSE results day.

My results... we fine. Ok. good... really good, perhaps. But I'm pretty dissapointed. 

I keep getting calls from my relatives saying;

"well done!!! you got AMAZING results!"

I'm not meaning to sound hard done by, I accept they were pretty good, but they weren't amazing. Straight As is amazing.

I got 6 Bs, 2As, 2 Cs... and then latin.

Lingua Latina. 

D.

Ouch. 

I love latin. I've been more or less a straight A student in latin for almost 4 years. And I get a D in the exam. 

How?!! How could this happen? We all (all 3 of us that is), compared our answers and translations after the exam and we all did pretty much the same. All 3 of us were predicted As, if not A*s, but all of us fell short of what we expected...

The staff suspect that there's been a dud marker around, and are sending them off to be remarked. ... Though thinking about it, I was only about 6 UMS points off a C (which is nothing). And my friend who wwas expected to get an A*, got a B... so there's something pretty fishy going on.

But, because of this mark I've had to drop latin, a subject I really love. And if it turns out the marker got it completely wrong, and I end up with something like a B, or even an A, I will turn post box red and have steam coming out my ears. (If this happens, stand by for a rant).

To make things even worse, Latin was the first mark I saw. So, I opened my results envelope, saw "Latin     D(d)", and my whole world came crashing down around me. 

*

Futhermore, straying away from the epic dissapointment [<<-understatement] of latin; in general, for someone who, all their life has been predicted As and A*s, a whole load of Bs is not so great... and really is not "amazing".

However, we realised what's gone wrong, and that is, I've spread myself too thin. All my friends at other schools have studied 9 subjects; getting 9 GCSEs.

We, studied 11.

11 friggin' subjects, so 9, and then, two mandatory headaches that go by the names of 'RS' and 'ICT'.

ICT took up every ounce of energy I had left last year. Every lunch time, after school and weekend wwas filled with friggin ICT coursework. 

I CAN WORK A COMPUTER DAMNIT!!!

To say RS was a mandatory headache would be correct, but as for ICT... it's more like a mandatory MIGRAINE.

I spent hours and hours on something uselss; time which could've been spent on more important subjects.

At the risk of sounding childish, I can honestly say I blame ICT.

I've never felt this before, but I honestly, deep in my heart of hearts, wish I could go back and change my options for double science rather than triple, and fight not to do ICT; then, if all else fails, botch ICT in year 10 and drop it by year 11.

**

This is all proof of our beloved school's 'guinea-pig year', as I like to call it.

First, a little history;

My school was originally two schools, a catholic school and a protestant school; until in '99-'00, our head merged the two schools, making the 'ecumenical school community' we are now. 

Most of the students that had been at the original schools, had to be allowed into the new school. But our year, which was about year 1 or year 2 at the time of the merger, was the first year where entry into the senior (high) school was not obliged, meaning even if you went to one of the original schools, you're not guarenteed a place.

Therefore, being the first yeear our school has 'hand-picked', we have beared the brunt of any new schemes or trials our school can think of.

Admittedly, there have been a few schemes (the whole mandatory migraine, etc) that have been going for longer than us, but they wait until we go through hell and back, and, of course, change it to make it fairer on the rest of the school.

Take sma, for example, two years younger than me and going into year 10 this September.

Started Mandatory Migraine in year 9, meaning by the time year 11 comes around for her, she won't have the migraine chasing after her, and will have time to focus on more important things.

Can you see now, why I want to throttle my school sometimes?

So, School, if you're reading, thanks for screwing me up! ^^ 

*

Also, our school is known for forcing it's students to do seemingly useless subjects (like headache & migraine) for no good reason other than to make the school look good.

The next of these ridiculouses, is General Studies.

Every 6th former I've talked to says that G.S. is a massive pain in the side, and is pointless.

Not to mention I was talking to 'K', whilst waiting for the bus one day (she's in the year ahead of me), and she was saying that she was up till 1am every night on the weekend, writing a massive long essay for G.S. and only after she got that out of the way, could she concentrate on her English essay.

I'm sorry but, I don't want an extra A level in some pointless subject that will zap up all of my time.

**

Thus, Friday, (aka induction day) is going to be the start of a very long and wearysome rest-of-my-life.

***

On a lighter note;

My 6th form jacket has no pockets. Meaning, it looks like it does, but they're just odd flap things that serve no purpose at all other than to fool you into thinking you have somewhere to put things; phone, DS, spare pens... but NO! 'Cause you don't!

Why?? I've noticed this more and more, women's suit jackets do not have pockets!! I mean, do clothes makers think women carry handbags around everywhere, thus not needing pockets? Is this some form of masculine dominancy thing, where only men are allowed to store things in items of clothing? Are women doomed to forever carry around a bulky bag? 

My trousers have no pockets either. I mean... what the hell!? I mean, are we doomed to forever roam around school with no hope or storing anything anywhere but our lockers?! (Our school is tres small, so we can't carry bags around).

I mean what happens when....... *shudder* I dread to think.

So, a message to all designers of women's business wear;

"Women need jacket pockets too! You jack-asses!!"

I'm actually starting to worry now.... I need pockets to put things in!! You know, chapstick, phones. Pencil cases can't hold every thing you know!! D<<

mumblemumblemumble....

ANYWAY. When I've calmed down from rant-mode I shall share the hilarity that ensued at our 'after-bbq', and many more.

So long~

Current artistic situation :B

Hoorah for manga! <3

☆

Ok~ as you may or may not know, I have been working on a manga about a girl called "Xanthie".

However.

That particular prject has been put on hold for now; as I am currently working on my entry for 'M.I.C.C.' (aka Morning International Comic Competition)

http://e-morning.jp/mimc/

So right now, I'm trying to focus all my creative energy on to this competition~ meaning Xanthie's manga will be put on hold for the time being.

The deadline for M.I.C.C. is 31st December 2009, but what with 6th form coming up, I can't really estimate how long it'll take me.

The page limit is 12-50 pages, and I think I'm aiming for something around the 40 mark (ish). Right now I have 14 pages pencilled and 10 inked. 

So wish me luck!! ^^

Bye for now~~

English Woes

Aahh memories of pretending to be a submarine when I went swimming with sma are just flooding back to me...

☆

"AAAGHH!!! SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOLLY IM BEING EATEN BY BOREDOM AGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

That, ladies and gentlespoons, was the sound of my inner monologue after reading the first few pages of a selection of, frankly, horrible books I'm meant to be studying next year.

Yes. For some reason, which, to this day I don't know why, I chose to study English Lit next year in 6th form.

Only, last year I hated English. I mean really really strongly. The time between autumn half term and xmas holidays particularly was like hell on Earth. I vaguely remember doing some mocks, but mostly the only thing I remember from that time was English.

My teacher was pressuring me and pressuring me and kept giving us really short deadlines, and wayyy too many practice essays.

To put it into perspective, around that time I....

- had just got back from a very busy school trip to America, and thus was jet lagged

- was desperately trying to study for the mocks, which were brought forward to before xmas just to fit in with a school inspection (gee thanks school)

- was doing all these A level standard essays and papers to try and get into a boarding school

- was travelling up and down the country for interviews/open days to try and get into sed boarding school

- Was typically been given at least one if not two practice essays a week from English

- was being hounded by both my ICT and English teachers.

And, to top it off, most of my friends were being complete shit toward me about the boarding school (which, in the end I didn't get in to anyway).

And, yes I am aware that some may be reading this, but to be honest, it needs to be said.

There was only a handful of people out of my, hmm about 10-12 friends or so that were actually supportive. (Though in all fairness to 'Li', we weren't so close at the time, so I'm not counting you in this... you were fine.)

And the only people who were actually supportive (out of everyone) were;

A, sma, 'E.J.' and my mum. Please to bare in mind that sma is 2 years below me, so I don't see her during school hours much, 'E.J.' isn't really in my '"close" friends group, and A doesn't even go to my school.

Sooooo, all in all that was a pretty shit time (at one point I was so tired I fell asleep in English... thank god my teacher didn't realise!). And I think I went into school in tears one day... hmm probably I remember a lot of crying... |:

*

And even after I managed to scrape by that horrible horrible horrible time with ridiculously poor results (I got a U in physics, a subject I usually average around a B+, As or A*s), English was still so bad that I had to re-do almost all of my coursework. Even so, mum abnd I really had to fight to let my English teacher allow me to do so.

So in the end, it's going to be very interesting this coming Thursday, results day, to see what my outcome was in English.

*

Other than the pressure factor, we also had really really bad books to read!

We had to read 'Turn of the Screw'. A book which, in my opinion, was written so boringly and was so dull I just stopped reading after the first few pages. The plot was, in actual fact, a very good and thought provoking idea. But, it was written dreadfully.

Our essay title for this monstrocity was

"Henry James successfully conveys fear and suspense in 'The Turn of the Screw'. Explain how."

Which just left me staring at a blank page thinking "It wasn't scary, and it didn't convey either of these things successfully at all, in fact quite the opposite damn it."

In the end, after I finally re-did the coursework, I made it up. The whole essay, I blundered my way through making up stuff just to please my teacher and fulfill the assignment. 

Thankfully, I managed to get an A (I think), but it could've easily gone the other way.

*

To make matters worse, we don't use the English Lit A level at our school anymore; instead we use the Cambridge Pre U. This means, that I can either spend a whole 2 years stuck putting all my time and effort into something I really hate, or drop it and not get any qualifications whatsoever.

*

So, such is my dilemma. We're going to talk to the school and hopefully I can swap English for Psychology.

So in the mean time, I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed an hope I don't have to do English...

That's all for now, bye~ My next post will be happier, I promise! ^^

PS:

Whilst I'm on the subject, I'd just like to say a big big big big big BIG massive humoungous thankyou to sma & A for supporting me through that whole boarding school thing! If it weren't for you two, I think I would've had a mini break down or something, so thank youuuuu!!!

Massive spider epidemic!?

Welcome to 'Lazy Lunch', consisting of cooked bread rolls, and bovril.

Oh, and btw, what ever happened to Diagnosis Murder?!?! D:

☆

So, here's the story. 

Last night, I was playing Advance Wars days of ruin on my DS. But as the light from the DS was the only light in the room, I kept getting attacked by small flying type things. So, in order for them to leave me a lone, even just a little bit, I switched my bed side light on.

...Only to find a great big massive spider on my wall!!

I mean, spiders don't usually scare me but, this was massive!It mustv'e been at least an inch and a half, if not more!! 

So, after spending ages fumbling around trying to catch it in a cup (after it fell on my pillow whilst I was in bed); I eventually managed to catch it with ye olde cup and paper technique, and shoo it outside.

However...

Reading Kezzi's blog this morning (http://kezzikawaii.wordpress.com/) I find that she also was attacked by a large spider!

And! Talking to Sma, I found out that she was also also attacked by a large spider!!

Weird or what??

In other news;

On Wednesday I went to ALTON TOWERS!!

At first, it was a really overcast day... but then it got reeaaallly hot! Not to mention there were loads of crowds!!

So there was epic queues that lasted for hours and hours ...!

In the end, we didn't go on that many rides, just based on the sheer amount of queueing which took up most of our time Dx

But we did manage to go on;

Oblivion

Enterprise

Rapids

Air

those swingy things in the kiddie part 8D

And I think possibly something else but... I forget D8... Oh yeah, and we wandered into the other kiddie section (where squirrel nutty is) and found this uber creepy barn thing..!

The idea was that there were these mechanical animal that start singing when you press the button, but we just saw "BIG RED BUTTON" and pressed it...

then these creepy animals started singing and it was really seriously creepy!! Dx

*

After Alton Towers, I went back to 'A's house for some more hide and seek, stepping on slugs and being fed strange things...

Again, I failed at hide and seek. I ended up hiding under the computer desk thing in the playroom type room... and, intrigued by the strange music I could hear, started quizzing A's brother asd to what he was doing. 

As oer usual, I was found very easily. Probably cause I was talking xD

Ah! However~ I did freak A's brother...

I was hiding in a closet, and it was a very tight squeeze, so I'm kinda surprised no one heard the rattling...

When I was discovered I sort of defeatedly started saying "aww damn.. you found me..!!" but then A's brother jumped back in fear xD AHAHAHAAA >D

Later we decided to go on the trampoline in the dark, and despite constant warnings of slugs, I ended up stepping on a massive one... It squelched under my toes!! blech!!

And then I ended up doing it again and again..... D'':

*

A little later, A asked me if I was thirsty, and whether or not I wanted orange juice or milk.

I said I really didn't mind, so I'll have which ever...

He came back with a simply lovely drink! (please remember it was dark) At first it looked like milk...

...until I drank it, and it tasted like orange...

...And then in horror I realised it was a mixture of orange and milk!! BLECCCHHH!!! Disgusting!

So I shoved it back to him and demanded he drank the rest of it D<

And... he did!! I honestly didn't expect him to! (hope he wasn't ill D: )

In other news, Although I have recently been working on my manga regarding Xanthie; Due to the Manga Jiman and M.I.C.C. competition deadlines coming up, I'm working on those now, thus pausing Xanthie ness... but don't worry! After I've done my entry for M.I.C.C., I'll get back to work on Xantheh!

Bondage Monkey shall live on in our hearts~!!

Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled like elderberries!

☆

I had the most randomest day yesterday xD. 

We went to the park, like ya do, but A had found an old xmas present that was meant for Scarfy... so we ended up opening it yesterday... and it was this weird monkey thing... with stretchy arms that made a monkey noise if it hit something...

The idea is that you shot it into the sky and it made a monkey noise... so, basically, it was a flying monkey, with a cape and mask. But we called it 'Bondage Monkey' (aka B Monkey, aka B-mon).

Poor lil B-mon was abused so much yesterday... he ended up breaking!! Dx

In the end, what originally sounded like a monkey noise actually sounded like b-mon was crying!! D8.

So we did the usual; eat in the church yard thing, and go to the park. Oh, and we had these nasty chocolates (again from A's random xmas leftovers) that's BBE date was in Feb 09...

Mine tasted like... well, the only way I can put it is, it tasted like freeze dried astronaut ice cream that's been sitting around in the open air for a month or so.

(... yeah I eat weird things ok?)

Scarfy said his tasted like hairspray...! (o_o)

Aah~ But yesterday, I felt like such a kid again!! Take breakfast for example; I didn't eat at home, so I bought breakfast from the post office/shop to eat whilst I was waiting for my bus. I had;

- a mini milk (milk flavour)

- a liqourice straw with the sherbert stuff in it

- tizer

I swear those just reverted me right back to the age of about 5!! 8D

And then, when we were at the park, we went to this 'castle' 'ruin' type thing... (it's really small... I can't really explain it)

Anyhoo, so I sat on one of the turrets, and was all "I AM THE QUEEN!!!"; then S*cra joined me and I proclaimed "YOU CAN BE THE QUEEN TOO!!"

And the two of us shouted "WE ARE THE LESBIAN QUEENS OF THE LESBAIN CASTLE!!".

Then, as scarfy climbed on the other castle he was all "I SHALL BE TEH KING!"

But we just agreed that he was also a lesbian queen. A, however was merely a lesbian peasant 8D.

And, as I was storming scarfy's castle; I slipped, and grazed my knee!! Haha I felt just like a kid again! It was so much fun!!

But... then I realised that my knee was bleeding and covered in mud and grit and God knows what else; so I ventured off to the kiosk thing that sells ice cream, to get some antiseptic wipes of sorts.

This is roughly how the conversation went;

Kiosk man: Hello again~ what can I get you love?

JAM: hi~ uhmm you wouldn't happen to have any antiseptic wipes would you?

k.m.: oh, no sorry, for health and safety reasons we can't give any of that stuff out.

J: ohhh ok...

k.m.: why? what's happened?

J: oh! [big grin] I fell over and grazed my knee!!

k.m.: ... how old are you!?

J: eheh ^^; well, could I have a wet tissue at least? just to clear it up?

k.m.: uhhh... wet tissue... ok sure

Then as I walked away I suddenly realised; "for health and safety reasons..." They couldn't give me an antiseptic wipe for health and safety reasons.

So, lemme get this straight; by law, I can't get an antiseptic wipe to clear up scratches and grazes, just incase I hurt my self with it?!

I mean, I understand not being able to give out medicines but... an anti-septic wipe?! whaddya gonna do? Get high off it?! xD haha so basically, just to make sure I don't get myself high off anti-septic wipes, I've gotta leave cuts and grazes with loads of mud and other lovely things in it??

...weird.

***

But, other than storming each other's lesbian castles, not being allowed to get high off wipes and killing a (to be honest) pretty creepy bondage monkey, we also got up to many other not-so-mature shannanigans at le park. 

Liiiike, spinning round on the kiddies round-a-bout so fast till we all felt really sick, got bad headaches and couldn't wwalk straight; whilst some kids just watched and stared at us.

Oh yeah, and dancing the hare hare yukai to verrrry quiet music whilst (the same) kids stared at us!! 8D

Oh, and shouting "I'll go on top!!" as we all fought over the zip wire xD ahahahhaa ahh well, yesterday was certainly very odd and crazy xD. But deffinately fun and worthwhile~!

**

Well, I shall leave you for now~ But tomorrow, I'm going to ALTON TOWERS!!! 8D Whoo hoooo~!!

The Adventures of Captain Jock and Doctor Poo.

... And after I said I wouldn't eat chocolate till Halloween.

"You'll never guess her secret"~ no spoilers involved, I promise.

☆

SUPER LIFE UPDATE TIEM YEAH!

I realised after posting the other day, that I haven't actually posted about anything interesting... only about England and low calorie water. orz.

Ok~ so, on Saturday I went to "Quarry Bank Mill" (aka Styal Mill). 8D It is exactly the same as I remember it!! 8D nosrsly!

Styal is basically a big old cotton mill, which is now a big old cotton mill museum! 8D It's very popular with primary schools in and about our area for school trips. Either to do with mills, or Victorians, or even nature (there's lots of land to walk in). So pretty much everyone around my age in this area will have been to Styal at some point or another during primary school life. And if not, then ... then I don't know what. I seriously gained alot of reminiscing momentios whilst we were there..! It hasn't changed! :3 

The best part was the water room!! >D Oh yeah, then "A" and I were extremely successful at [failing] being ninjas! bwahahaaa.

After dinner A, his brother and I engaged in a game of hide and seek! >D I showed off my glorious hiding talents... (In the end I just stood in a door way and said "I'M A DOOR!!" *fail*.)

***

Monday was filled with baking an odd grey cake concoction type thing, getting a little wet, playing some more mario kart, failing again at some more hide and seek, and giving a cat a bath.....

I swear, seeing a cat being shampooed is one of the strangest things I've ever seen... and I've seen a lot of strange things! And the cake... it was actually pretty nice but, I think next time we'll follow a recipe or something!

***

So this brings us to today!! >D

"There's something's wrong with Esther"

"You'll never guess her secret" 

Today, we saw "Orphan"! It's actually a very good film! However, It's not quite as scary as I thought it would be... D: Fair bit of blood and gore, but other than that, it's not too scary. Very good though, and very creepy. 

So guys and gals, life lesson; when adopting a child, don't adopt the 'mature' loner Russian girl who has no background history. 

On the subject of scary movies however, a trailer was shown for "Sorority Row" which looks really good!! (not sure what it's certificate is gonna be though >: ...) [hopefully 15!! :3 ]

http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi3933471513/

And after the guy in the train station told us the next train on platform 2 went to our stop, when it didn't, we ended up in Stoke...!! Thankfully, we got off there rather than ending up in London!! D8

Just before I go, I'd like to give a quick plug to an amazing comedian 8D

Please check out the rest of his videos!! <3>

Low Calorie Water, what the HELL?!

Seriously, you have got to be taking the piss?!

Ok, I know I just posted literally about 5 minutes ago, but I just saw an advert (on the telly box) for 'skinny water', the "low calorie water~".

WHAT THE HELL!?

Low Calorie water?! It's water! It doesn't have any calories to begin with!! Seriously... what. the. hell?!

Ok, so basically it's water, with added nutrients that help you loose weight.

OH MY GAWD PEOPLE. If you want a healthy drink, then drink fruit juice or something. 

Srsly........ low calorie water? *HEADDESK*

Omg... It's just... aggg.

well, whatever... bye for now.

Omnomnom~ smashing cake Gromit!

As I was travelling into [small town beginning with an M], I suddenly realised (having had to convince the bus driver I was 15), that sooner or later, I won't be able to pass as a 15 year old... *headdesk*.

I kow lots of 6th form colleges and the likes give students 'student IDs' for the use of getting discounts etc~! But, as far as I'm aware, I don't think my school does DX

Also, there's an advert floating around on the telly-box that starts with the words "it's exam result season!!". orz. 

***

It's [mini] rant tiem!!

England! England really isn't that bad... haha ok ok, so we've got our crappy public transport, our chavs, our stubborness, our rubbish-covered towns... But!! It's not all that bad eh?

Recently (actually having come back from the cruise) I've been taking notice of more and more day to day happenings and stuffs.

I've been watching alot of late night American comedy shows recently, but also English ones too... and tbh I really love the English ones! haha I luuurve Dead Ringers (why did it stop?!) QI, and all the other quiz type shows (8 out of 10 cats, Have I got news for you, etc.).

Admitedly, there have been times when I've been embarassed to be British, but in the end, I am proud to be British.

I'm also proud of the fact we have perfectly normal words/phrases that other English speaking countries (ie America) don't use.

Some examples;

lorry

bloody hell

pants*

w**nker (apparently Americans don't use this... is this TRUE?!)

taking the piss (my friend told me this isn't used in the US either.... I mean, srsly?!)

poppycock

fag

*pants as in knickers, or 'panties' as they're known across the pond.

And, of course, various other typical British things such as 'smashing' etc. etc. Also, I love cockney!! Haha we confused many passers by on our school trip to the US by talking cockeny. I remember us saying something along the lines of;

"right, so if we go up the apples and pears and..." "ohhh bloody hell I dropped my dog and bone!"  "ohhhhhh! look at that lorry!" "Ohh hey turn the tap off!"

Yeaaaah... in America, a tap is a faucet...? I'm not sure if it can be also known as a tap but...?

Ohhh and the words 'rubber' and 'fag' caused ALOT of hilarity one night...!

So, you may/may not know, but in the UK, a rubber is simply an eraser, and a fag is a cigarette. However, in the US, a rubber is a condom, and a fag is a gay person.

Sooo you can imagine the odd looks we got when we ambled down the streets of Washington DC at night saying "oohh look! there's a fag on the floor... ohh and another. And another... woah there are fags everywhere!!".

And actually, something that seriously shocked and confused me is that, Americans have NO idea what a lorry is. I mean, ok I understand somethings, like the whole fag/rubber/pants thing can cause some mixups but... c'mon? a lorry!!?

[observe the above picture for a moment, friends.] THIS, is a lorry. haha sorry, but I can't get my head round the fact that there are those who do not consider this as a lorry..!

So, all in all, I'm pretty proud to be British.

ps. The cake reference in the opening sentence, was a reference to a simply wonderful cake we made today. Mmmm~! But seriously, next time we should follow a recipe.

Bai bai for now~!

Track Three.

Citizens rejoice! Your lord and master stands on high, playing track three.

☆

I've been reminiscing.<3

Ok; so after a marathon of 'Dead Ringers' (<3)

Also, a combination of sed song, insomnia and a recent Higurashi marathon lead to this;

wheeey~!

Love The Master!! I mean, it's not his fault he's evil now is it?! But seriously, this is how evil geniuses are meant to be!! <3

By the way; that song is soooo depressingly cheery! I mean it sounds super happy but omg the lyrics..!!

"I can't decide

whether you should live or die;

Oh, you'll probably go to heaven,

please don't hang your head and cry.

No wonder why,

My heart feels dead inside, 

it's cold and hard and petrified.

Lock the doors and close the blinds,

we're going for a ride.

Oh I could throw you in the lake,

Or feed you poisoned birthday cake,

I won't deny I'm gonna miss you when you're gone.

Oh I could bury you alive,

but you might crawl out with a knife

and kill me when I'm sleeping

That's why

I can't decide

whether you should live or die..."

etc. etc.  See?! Isn't it cheery?!

In other news; I vaguely remember someone (quite possibly 'A') telling me that there were kangaroos loose on Tegg's Nose!!

...Ok, I just read it the way most of you read it. haha.

'Tegg's Nose' is a large hill type thing near where I live; it's not a mountain, but It's big enough to get lost on 8D haha. It's popular in this area for scenic walks and such!

So... I wanna know, is it true that there are kangaroos up there? Or was it some other sort of strange animal let loose?

But more importantly... I wanna go on a kangaroo hunt!! yeaaahh!!

Well, anyway; tis all for now~ bye for now!

Back to "Normal"

Never fear! We still have a total of  33 days left of summer!

WAIT!! 33!? THAT'S NOT ENOUGH!!!

☆

Hello everyone! And Greetings from my back to "normal" life after being on that strange land of cruise-dom. 

This year, more than ever, I'm getting that horrible feeling of "omg we only have XX days left till school! what have I been doing all summer?!"/time-is-running-out syndrome. It probably didn't help that I went from 4 days solid with a friend, to being completely cut off from the normal world for close to 2 weeks. So now that I'm back, I seem to have a slight mental block of anything that happened before the cruise... which has launched me ever so slightly into panic mode. I keep thinking stuff like "aaghhh!! I haven't done anything I wanted to do this summer! and It's already August!!". Then I remember that I actually have, and I've done a hell of a lot more than I usually would in summer. I've been to the cinema a few times, I've had a prom, I've been to a karaoke booth, I've been camping... and much much more that doens't sound much but really was a lot of fun. 

In short, this summer, I've done a lot more than I usually do, and alot more than last summer. (Thinking about it, what did I do last summer, other than stay inside all day?!). Usually my summers are filled with staying inside all day doing really nothing, or being all alone in Anglesey with no one but my mother and grandma for company... Love them as I do, the beach really isn't much fun on your own. 

However, it seems that my determination to go above and beyond in order to have the best, most fun filled summer ever, seems to be a bit of a double edged sword as well. 

I was brought up with my mum saying stuff like "you can't see your friends every single day! you'll just get tired out!!" haha which was completely true really!! All my friends live at least a short bus ride away, if not a long one; so whenever I saw them, there was something in mysubconcious that's said;

"OMGLET'SGOCRAZYHYPERANDHAVESOMUCHFUN

INCASEWEDON'TSEETHEMAGAINFORAWEEK!!"

And, tbh I think it's still there, only a little more subdued. But!! I think, it is summer! I've finished my exams! Next year is gonna be tough! I DESERVE IT! Ahahahahh! I'm not a kid any more! I'll see my friends every single day if I want! I'll stay up late watching late night tv (which I'm sorry, but is waaayyy better than prime time!) and get wasted on gummi bears!! AHAAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAA!!

[you are currently witnessing a freak stream of conciousness as displayed by the one known as JAM. Please standby as she calms down and starts to think a little more logically.]

....I have suddenly realised that come 7th September I'm going to launch into deep depression or something...!! Hahaha. My fast life of late night tv and anime will be replaced by coursework and homework. My friends will be replaced by new students and teachers. Manga will be replaced by poetry and prose... omg I probably am going to go into depression after that! DON'T LEAVE ME SUMMER!!!

[It appears JAM is still in stream of conciousness mode. If not a little more saddening...]

*DEEP BREATH*

Ok. I'm good. Yeaaah so I was just reflecting on the repercussions of by double edged sword of summer fun... But, to be honest, even If I do have maaajor anti-climax syndrome after day 1 of school, It'll be worth it!! AHAHA! I'll never have a 16 year old's summer again, so I might as well enjoy it whilst I can!!

***

In other, even more depressing news;

Although I've known about it for some time, It's suddenly hit me that results day is in 22 days...

Most people I've talked to are, obviously, nervous about it, but everyone seems to be excited as well, to see what their results are...

As for me, I just want to climb into a very small cave and ignore the whole shizznay. I studied hard 24/7 for 2-3 months, I did the exams... and now I want nothing to do with it ever ever again. I'd rather just not know my results, and live a happy, blissful life in ignorance.

However. I'm gonna have to find out sooner or later... and like they say, "Curiousity killed the JAM". (...or was it cat?).

But... ughh. somewhere in a very tiny and pushed right to the back part of my brain, I can ever so slightly remember 'Ha' trying to organise a BBQ after our results. Now. 'Ha' is very clever. In her mocks she got all A*s, if not one or two As. (trust me I am not even going to go into what my mock results where... I was going through a very tough time ok!?)

So, unless she was hit by lightning and simultaneously lost every single one of her braincells, then her GCSE results are going to be the same.

So, here's the scenario;

everyone's given their envelope. Everyone opens their envelope. Everyone either cries of happiness or of sadness. I remain crouched in the corner of the hall clutching onto the unopened thing for dear life, as I rock back and forth with utter fear and dread. *shudder* Just thinking about what's going to happen makes me want to just drop down on the floor and lie there for a while.... 

I mean, I'm an optimist, but for some reason I just can't help but think the worst of these stupid things. I've always been predicted As and A*s, but in the past few months... ugggh. And I reeeeaaaally don't like the idea of opening it in front of everyone. To be perfectly honest, there's only two people on this earth I'm willing to open that envelope in front of, and neither of them will be in the hall.

So yeah..... BBQ is probably not such a good idea for me DX sorry 'Ha', the invitation is much appreciated, but I think I'dve passed out by then. (And I don't tend to do passing out...)

***

...Ok well that was joyous!! <3

Anywhoo!! I shall leave you with such lovely thoughts~

This is JAM, over and out!!

STAY NYAPPY~!☆
