It Never Ends DAMMIT!!

The GAME never ends.

stupid bag thing.

☆

First off, can I say, sorry for making you all loose the game just now, but at least it won't be such a shock latorz.

Oh. My. Gawd.

It seems like almost a billion years ago since my last post! D:

Well, we are well into week 4 of le 6th form, and the craziness has ceased to stop. In fact, I reckon it's getting even crazier. Everyone is crazy. still. B)

Hmmm. well, to start with, I guess I should make some psuedonyms~ here goes:

- P.b.

- S (not to be confused with sma)

- C*zakstann

- M

- Fester

More creative names may be created... some day.

***

So, today, S and I went out into le village (a 6th form privalege) for le lunch. We bought the usual healthy lunch:

- strawberry milkshake

- monster munch

- salt and vinegar 'snack sticks'

- nintendo magazine

The nintendo mag caused much excitement, for a number of reasons. Firstly, because the freebie was a DS 'sock', which got me very exciteable at the fact of having something to prevent my DSi being scratched etc. Also, with the sock being black, it makes my DSi less noticeable when it's sticking out of my pocket. (However it doesn't prevent it from bouncing on the floor having fallen from my chair; as we discovered in psych). The magazine also made S very excited, which, being contagious, made me very excited, when we saw an ad for the DS release of Kingdom Hearts!! 

But then...

Much tragedy and uproar was cause when THIS slid out of the glossy pages of gaming insight;

(pictured: an evil bag of doom and some bottles of J20 reduced to 25p each).

[Please excuse my duvet in this picture.]

It was one of those "I-can't-BELIEVE-I've-been-caught-out-you're-such-a-smo, yet also omg-that's-just-classic!! lawl" moments. (Much like when A and I got Rick-Roll'd IRL at a quiz night, then coincidentally lost the game).

*

Psychology was hilarious today as well xD 'Mrs R' finally cottoned on to the fact that I'm slightly odd~...! :3 And a queue formed to sit on Mrs R's magic chair thing. xD

*

Also, My History teacher, 'Mrs N'* is amazing!! she has us every monday, last period, and the 3.30** bell is officially our 'sweetie bell', so that we can get sugar-rushes before going home. Yesterday I actually got a proper sugar rush. I was trying to say something and it went a little like this;

JAM: "OH OH OH!"

Mrs N "yes [JAM]?"

J: "Is it cause... cause they didn't put thingymabobs on stuffs coming in from the Comumbadub??!"

N: "...........what."

J: "I mean... the.... the yknow!! the comammm.....!! ...uhm...."

N: "..."

J: "THE COMMANWEALTH!!! They didn't put tariffs on imports from the commanwealth!"

N: "..not quite"

J: "....the Empire?"

N: "YEAHHHH!!!"

orz. Just goes to show how crazy my teachers are.

(and yeah, I am aware I am incapable of spelling commanwealth... or is it commenwealth? iunno. I probably should. hm. oh well.)

'Tis all for now peeps! Expect more nyuuz blasts very soon! 

So long for now, and remember;

U R PWND 4 GENEVA!!

*My Current teachers:

English lit:

- Mrs D = plays

- Miss T = prose/novels

Modern History:

- Miss M = Russian History

- Mrs N = British [political] History

Psychology:

- Mrs R

** Our school is quite small, and consists of a junior/primary school and infant school as well as the senior/high school; so at the end of the day, the bells are as follows:

3.15 = infant school hometime

3.30 = junior school hometime

3.45 = senior school & 6th form hometime!!

NB: junior/primary school = equiv. of elementary school

infants =kindergarten - early elementary school

senior/high school = equiv. of middle school and high school

6th form = last 2 years of education before university. 

(6th form = year 12 & year 13. year 11 is the last official year of compulsary education, by law.)

Attention! : JAM is now a 6th former! :D

So without further ado, I start my 6th form life with hopes and aspirations as big as the 5kg chocolate bar.

☆

I love 6th form!!

It's so much fun! Loads of people from our year have left to go off to other schools, but everyone that's left is really nice to one another! Not to mention the teachers are really nice to 6th formers too~!

And, on top of it all, the lessons are interesting. 

I'm so glad I chose to drop Physics!! I now have beaucoup de frees, which I can use to do homework, study, and, if all else is done and dusted, play me some pokemon!! 8D

*

So, we all survived our first week of 6th form! So much craziness has happened it'd take ages to type up!! xD.

Our school is right next to a garage (avec shop), and a Somerfields. Therefore, at lunch we tend to go out and buy drinks and snacks. Upside is, omg! so yummy! Downside is however, we're all probably gonna be fat by the time we leave 6th form! 8D

Particularly as one girl brought in a 5kg bar of Cadbury's on Friday. Yes that's right. 5kg of chocolate.

The only way to break it up was to smash it on the coffee table in the "noisy" common room. There was chocolate. Everywhere.

Each chunk was about the size of your palm!! Everyone in 6th form was walking round nibbling on coal-sized chunks of chocolate! 8D omnomnom!

*

Also, as I have quite a lot of frees, I find myself talking to people I wouldn't normally have talked to last year, which is really nice!! Also, there are 3 new girls, rather than 1! 8D One of them, who we shall call... hrrm "A-n-y" (basing this off her msn name xD ), is very very nice (and gives amazing hugs!), and the two of us got talking after I saw The GazettE on her iPod! :3

Turns out, she's also an anime fan and we share many interests!! <3

All in all, 6th form really is great so far!! It's sooooo much better than high school, and deffinately better than GCSE years! I can't even stress enough how much better it is! I mean, it's so great to come home light and happy in the knowledge that you've done a good days work, and everything's great, rather than the depressing-ness of last year!!

***

After a week of 6th form, it's now the weekend! (or the end of it, at least!).

I haven't really done much at all this weekend! ><

But~ on Friday, me, mum, the coconut (mum's bf) and I went to blockbuster, and as I walked in, one of the pre-owned DVDs for sale caught my eye! It was;

"Paprika".

I recognised it from an old old front cover of NEO (way before I started reading neo mag). 

And... omg. It is. AMAZING.

Just... simply amazing. After the first minute or so, I was thinking "I already love this film."

The story is amazing, the music is lovely, and don't even get me started on the animation!!! It's stunning, beautiful and over all GORGEOUS!!

Satoshi Kon (the Director) is now officially one of my idols, and I'm hoping to buy another of his films, "Tokyo Godfathers" later on in winter!

I just love it sooo much~!!

Also, I am now watching Sleepy Hollow, as it's on Film4!! (though technically, I'm watching it on my computer rather than my 'tv', because my 'tv' is being a complete poo head.). I really love this film so much <3.>

So without further ado, here's a quick list of some of my utmost favourite films ever.;

[in no particular order]

☆

Paprika,

Spirited Away,

Anastasia,

Death Note & Death Note 2,

Brothers Grimm,

Sleepy Hollow,

Nightmare Before Christmas,

The Corpse Bride,

Edward Scissor Hands,

The Prestige.

☆

You've probably realised that they're all either animations, Tim Burton movies, or something to do with the supernatural or illusion. :3

Also, (as I'm feeling totally fresh and inspired right now) here are my idols:

- Hayao Miyazaki

- Satoshi Kon

- Takeshi Obata

- Nana Li

- Tim Burton

<3>

'Tis all for now, tomorrow I have to go up on stage (><);; at our prize day!! (Everyone now in lower 6th has to go up, in congratulations for our GCSEs). Wish me luck~~!

Bye for now~ ☆

****

6th form language:

The Noisy common room - The common room meant for 'socialising'; though it's often the quiter one when the year 13s/upper 6th are about!!

The Quiet common room - The common room meant for study; but sometimes it's too noisy to hear yourself when the year 13s are about! ><

Year 12/lower 6th - my year

Year 13/upper 6th - The year above, and last year of education before University in the UK

EPICK - 'good', 'awesome', 'amazing', 'great' etc.

AHOY! - A customary greeting

The Garage - The petrol station directly across the road from our school. It stocks snacks, sweets and fizzy drinks! :B

MUCC = EPIC WIN!

"CatholicTV is now following you on Twitter"

Rest of life coming in: about 3 hours.

☆

Ok what?

I log on today and a little email from twitter pops up. "CatholicTV is now following you on Twitter".

What? I know loads of random companies and stuff randomly follow people for no real reason. But... CatholicTV? I'm not Catholic! I'm not even Christian!!

***

Anyway. More importantly!

Last night, as I said, I downloaded the album 'Shion' by MUCC. It took an hour y'know! A whole hour!! Anyway, even though I was planning on going to bed at 11, I ended up just... not. I was waiting for Shion to download so in the end I blogged and watched family guy. Among others.

But that album... is epic! I mean it really really is!!  I downloaded it not really knowing what to expect... tbh I was just in the mood for heavy guitar 8D. But... after I heard the first song I immediately fell in love with them!! I've listened to the whole album god knows how many times now!! Sooo good! 

Eventually, I ended up going to sleep listening to it on shuffle-repeat~ 

It was the best sleep I've had in months!! I mean it! <3

It's great to go to sleep listening to music, then wake up to it <3

***

So, for now, I shall leave you! Off to 6th form......!!

☆Byee~~☆

MUCC <3 + 6th form Induction Tomorrow!!

Just a quickie [that turned into an average sized post] as I wait for 'Shion' by MUCC to download from iTunes (why does it take so long!?)

Days till the rest of my life: just under 1.

☆

'Sup!! 8D

I overslept again today!! I even slept through my alarm! The only thing that woke me up was mum phoning me at about 11.40 ish. I was so dis-orientated that I completely forgot she was out networking since 6! o:

Though tbh, I'm not surprised my sleep is finally starting to catch up with me!! The past few nights have gone as follows:

- 9.00pm till either 1.00am, 2.00 am or 3.00am : work on manga

(whilst watching whatever late night comedy seems to be on tv)

- after stopping manga work; 'go to bed' and spend about 2 hours or so on DSi.

- eventually;  drop off to sleep.

Usually I tend to stop working at around 1.00-2.00am ish, because after 1.00 there is NOTHING on tv. Occassionally, you'll get a good film that finishes any where between 1 & 2, but any good programmes stop by 1.30.

However, having said that, on Monday night through to early Tuesday morning, there was a marathon of the entire first series of 'How Not to Live your Life' running on BBC, which went on till about 3.30ish.

That was pretty damn epic. I love that show. I mean the main character acts like a complete d*ck, but he's the sort that only acts like that, deep down he's quite loveable. 

My fave episode is when he went camping with his crush and her class of kids (she's a teacher). And they got lost, and he ended up getting all the kids drunk!! xD classic!

But unfortunately, I don't think it's avialable in the US or anything... 

srsly you guys are missing out!

[I really really love British comedy!]

***

So! Tomorrow, I start 6th form!! 

Well, sorta, tomorrow's induction day, so officially we start on Monday, but hey.

I'm actually pretty excited about it now~. My inner self has finally given in to, and accepted that the holidays have drawn to a close.

But! That doesn't mean I can't still have fun~! Although I'm going to be working super hard these next two years; if I can get coursework etc out of the way asap, that'll give me more time to relax on the weekends!

(I just hope everyone else does the same!! Then we can relax together!!)

***

Recently I've been thinking more about my future.

Mum and I were talking about University and such likes, and we were talking about what degrees I could consider.

Mum said she always thought I'd do something academic, like History, or English or something like that. So she was kinda surprised when I told her that other than unless I did histoy I wasn;t planning on doing something 'academic'.

I decided a long time ago, that I'd probably either do History, or something artistic.

Right now, I'm down to two main contender for the title of "JAM's degree choice". These are;

Political History

or

Animation

I guess they're really quite different! haha!

Political History is something that really fascinates me, but animation is something I'm considering a career in.

Hayao Miyazaki really inspires me (*v*) I'd love to be like him!! <3

***

On to...

Artistic News~

Artistically, I'm really powering through! Last night I managed to ink all 35 pages, and then edit them with white ink (which smells SO good!).

Now all that's left is to screentone it, and add the finishing touches! <3

And, what with Expo coming up (need to buy costume!!), and Halloween coming up (need to complete costume!), and also that I just spent £13 on music, also I have a few friend's birthdays coming up... ahaha

But I'll screentone all I can with what I've got for now, and at least then I can work on the Xanthie manga whilst I'm waiting for more screentones <3

***

So, this is all for now!!

☆Bye for now~~!!☆

1st September

Sprite flavoured lip balm = neccessity.

Days till the-rest-of-my-life : 3

☆

It's the 1st of September!! Oh my lordy I'm gonna be a 6th former in ...*counts* under 3 days!! Sweet Chocolate Moo Cow! My current state of mind on this subject is a curly wurly of excitement, nerves and a slight tinge of "d'awww... summer's over already??".

But today I'm now kitted out and ready to go go GO!! (I left it till 1st September to buy supplies 8D )

***

So today, I shall start off with delving into the more fun side of results day, and the following days. After the lovely results, we all mosied down to H's house for an after-bbq!! 8D

'Twas muchly fun! There was pink champagne, a most smexy evil board game master (we played atmosfear), 17 again, and some very suggestive sitting on couch-ness.

LAWL.

On Friday I went round to A's and watched Pokemon the movie:2000 (having had watched the 1st earlier on in the week), after we got extremely wet; or at least I did, by jumping in a massive bloody puddle. (*mature*)

Saturday we went to Buxton 8D!! And then went back to As house to watch "Pokemon the movie 3"!! (only the 4th one left now xD ). 

After that we went to Samsi (Japanese restaurant) for le dinner~ miam miam!

***

Then.... yesterday happened.

Grandma phoned, and basically said that I probably won't be able to get into University with my GCSE results.

She also said many many other things... But that kinda depressed me for the majority of the day, until my friend who lives in Anglesey's mum called and said that [friend who lives in anglesey] got basically the same grades as me, and that we both worked really hard for them, and they're really good grades, and of course we can get into uni!!

Mum's bf coming round with tiramisu also helped MUCHLY!

***

So, in the end, now yesterday's over, I'm putting it all behind me and vowing to study like an astronaut in astronaut school studying for an astronaut scholarship to do a PhD in astro physics!!

....yeah I have no idea what that means either.

Basically, I'm gonna study A LOT.

We've decided now that the plan of action is this:

- Drop Physics, just stick with the 3 subjects all the way through (English lit, Modern History and Psychology)

- stick with 'World Perspectives', but don't stress over it.

***

So!! Today is today! And thus, this leads me on to two very important topics.

1) My new obsession

2) Future plans

*

1) My New Obsession

My new obsession is.... (*drumroll*) ........CHAPSTICK! [and various variations of yummy flavoured lip balm stuffs].

The weather over here has been changing very quickly from sunny to very rainy, and as a result of that, my lips have been getting very sore and chapped quicker than they usually do.

So, over tha past few weeks I've been all "omg I NEEEEED chapstick before my lips drop off!!!"

And today.... I gotz me some Sprite flavoured 'lip smackers' lip balmy stuff! <3

It smells..... SOOO good!! It's really light and refreshing and makes me think of summery sunny goodness, even when it's chucking it down outside! <3

Not to mention it's liek... really really soft and soothing, which is like heaven for someone like me who gets sore lips easily in cold weather.

When I bought it they had multi packs with aaaaall the different flavours!! Sprite, various flavours of fanta, coke, coke vanilla, coke cherry, etc. etc.

But I didn't have enough cash on me at the time ;_;

*

2) Future Plans 

This isn't a "I want to settle down at the age of 'XX' and have 'X' kids and blah blah blah" This is just a simple "When I'm older and have a family of my own, I am going to get a cat as the family pet."

I luuuurve cats soo much~ I'll say now that I am deffinately a cat person.

But I don't want any normal cat. Ohhhh no!! I want a black cat with bright green eyes, and I'mma gonna call him BORIS!!! <3

I'm not joking. I really want a witches-cat-style black kitty cat called Boris.

It's just epic. end of.

***

So, all in all, things are deffinately starting to look up after the hiccup of yesterday!! <3

I've got all 39 pages of my M.I.C.C. entry planned & storyboarded, and up to page 23 in rough pencils~

I'm ready to go get 'em and be the best student EVER in 6th form, and I have my trusty Sprite flavoured lip balm at my side!

I'm good to go~!!

☆Byee for now everyone!!☆
