The Biker

Today I thought I'd write a really long entry about my boyfriend, the biker.

We've been going for two or three weeks now, it's actually a really sweet story of how we met. So I was outside Phil's looking at the stars and he was outside smoking a joint, and we both noticed that there was a pringle on the floor, so I reached down to move it away, and he reached down to see if it was coated in cannabis, and we sort of banged heads. Then we both straightened up, a little embarrased, and he gave me the pringle which was totally cute, even though it wasn't coated in cannabis.
He's really sweet, and totally deep, we have these really great conversations. Like this one time, I was telling him that I thought Jalopeneo (sp?) peppers were the spiciest peppers ever, and he said that this one time, he'd had this really spicy red pepper and he thought that maybe that pepper was the spiciest, and I said that maybe the red pepper had been next to a spicy thing and retained some of it's spiciness, and then, he said something really deep, "It's like when you don't close the lid on the milk carton and it starts to smell like all the stuff in the fridge," god he's like so smart! He comes out with all these really interesting thoughts.
We're also totally like, connected. This one time, I was in the car, and I know he's a biker and so he should have a bike, not a car, and he does have a bike, but he figures that you need a car for when you do the shopping, even though he still lives with his mom and she does the shopping most of the time but he has a car just incase he ever needs to do the shopping. Anway, I was in the car and I say "God I'm so hungry, you know what I'd like to eat right now?" And he said "Chips," just like that, I didn't need to hint at him or anything! And also, this other time, we were sitting in Phil's and I was eating some chips because I always eat chips when we go to Phil's and I was just thinking that I could do with some ketchup and he totally pushed the ketchup towards me! Ok, he said it was so that he could engrave his initials into the table, but I know it was really because we have this really profound bond.
Also, he has this totally awesome tattoo, he has lots of tatoos actually. This one that he got when he broke up with his girlfriend, or his wife, but he says that if you are really drunk the wedding doesn't count, but he was really sad and a little stoned and he went to the tattoo parlour and got a tattoo of this beautiful black rose, but it's like, crying, and it's not crying regular tears, it's crying tears of blood. It was so beautiful but so sad that it made me cry, but not tears of blood, just regular tears. He got it done before we met, but he says that if we had already had met, he would have got it done for me.
He also proposed to me, so we're engaged until he can afford a wedding, which might take a while because he works at the cinema, not making films, although that's what he wants to do, he serves the popcorn and makes sure that people don't steal pick 'n mix. It was so sweet, the way he proposed. We were sitting in his car, and eating onion rings, which are my favourite thing if I can't get chips, and so I said I loved onion rings, and he said that he did to, and I said that when I got married I wanted loads of onion rings and he said he did too and then he passed me the onion rings which is totally symbolic and I nearly cried and even though he didn't say "Will You Marry Me," I know that he meant it.

Anyway, one of these days I've got to ask him his name! It's never come up in conversation you know. I bet it's something really really sensitive and romantic, like Mozart.

I LOVE NEVERMORE

Because she rocks and is awesome.

Deep Breaths Ladies

*hyperventilates* I am still in shock about Mac and Green wing and oh god whyyyyyy!

It was so weird, as soon as the episode finished on that complete "OH MY GOD WTF" ending two of my friends called me with a "Why Sarah Why?" Thing. I watched the entire episode and although it's the most tasteful character death I've ever seen, it's still unbearable to watch! SOB.

Too distraught to write any more.

Skools out for the summer!


Kat under the cherry blossom (bubble gum) tree at school, Wot Larks!

Also, I recieved Jessica's letter today! I shall scan in the envelope it was lovely!

For any crazy people like Jess who think that you get stuff thrown at you in pe exams (hmm..) what it is, is 50% practical 10% coursework and 40% written exam on things like muscles, health, the body, social issues about sport, de blah de blah. Anyway, I giggled muchly over your idea.

I weely hope Melissah did wells in her exam!

Photoes!

Some photos from the last few days, my last days in compulsory education! None of me by the way.



Here's a picture of Rachel! Doesn't she look shocked! Along with Foiley and Charlie she made my PE expirience bearable. Without her I would have had to resort to having a ridiculous menstruation cycle.


Here's Kate! And Kat! Kat on left, Kate on right. Kat is looking strange because she just saw Ellie and I duet "Wind beneath my wings" It is enough to make anyone feel rather confused. She looks a bit odd there, she normally doesn't look like that.



Here's lots of the girls getting their shirts signed on the field. What a frivilous persuit!
I am sitting some way off having a picnic with my friends, which is a tradition we've been doing for four years, but suddenly everyone wants in!

And best of all, here are the ducks that somehow got themselves into our school...I get how the duck got in, but how did those ten ducklings manage it? The teachers used a variety of techniques, such as luring them with bread, to scooping them up with nets. It was actually quite cute.
Can anyone solve the mystery of how the ducks got in? If you can, I'll do something!

*embarrasment*

I'm feeling a little, or a lottle embarrassed by yesterdays update, but it was quite frank and honest so I shan't take it off, after all, some day I'll look back and say "What a sap, but at least I was frank and honest."
Today was the last day of school uniform for a week. Lol. I go on study leave after tomorrow afternoon.

I don't really feel like writing much, I feel gorgeous, my french oral went great and generally things are very good.

I'm a little sad about tomorrow but oh well.

Sorry about this abysmally short entry :p

An uncharachteristically depressed post

I know, it's terrible, the unsubduable Sarah is feeling rather depressed. Well not depressed, just sad, butI've had a good long cry and feel better now. Don't worry! It wasn't a whole "oh I'm going to fail my GCSEs" or a "My boyfriend broke up with me" or " I can't be with the guy I love" Boo hoo, it was a little more sensible than that. I'm going to write about it to purge myself of the expirience, don't feel as though you have to comment afterwards, I just want to get it out and I know most of us have trouble dealing with any kind of grief in all situations.

So I was looking for my tape (it was called "Franklin: the french turtle!") but I couldn't find it, instead, right at the back of my cupboard I found a blank tape. I put it in the player, expecting to see a series one episode of lost or something, but instead I realised it was a home video made before I was born.

What it was, was my mum, my dad and my older brother, about six years before I was born, just sitting in our old house with their friends. It must have been a sweet thing for them to be doing back then, but with hindsight it was horribly to watch. Firstly, there was no sign of me in it, I don't mean that in a self involved "everything must be about me" kind of way, but it's just strange to see what your family was like before you came along. Secondly and alot worse, was how happy they were and I was just sitting there looking at them and comparing them to their modern counterparts and thinking how much better it would be for them if they could have stayed like that, like the people in the video. And then I was thinking that it was only after I was born that things really started to get shitty and that they would probably prefer if I had never been born and if they could stay the happy family in the video. Then I started thinking, not just remembering but really trying to believe all the stupid things I tried to believe as a child, like maybe my dad was a secret agent or a police officer or something that meant he had to pretend to die, and maybe his whole death was faked and one day he'd just walk into the kitchen and everything would be like he'd never left.

My mum and my dad had obviously only just been married in the picture, they had one child, my brother. He looked so happy, and I felt so bad for him, just thinking that in a few years he was going to loose his father, but he didn't realise then, and how many regrets he would have afterwards and how he would have to grow up without a father figure and how it would affect him and them I remembered that that was my brother and that's how he did grow up. Then I was looking at my mum and she was just married, and all housewivey and innocent and smiley and in love and it was horrid. She kept saying things like "We'll look at that in twenty years and smile" and I was just sitting thinking "No, in just 6 years everything will have changed and you'd probably give anything to go back now. I was crying so much and I was really worried that my mum would come in and see me because we've never really spoken about my dad's death and I didn't want her to see me cry because then she might start crying and I don't know what I'd do if that happend.

And it occured to me that it wasn't just the father from the video family that had died, it was the entire family and maybe I was the only alive one because the other two would never recover. And then the only thought that kept going through my head was how good their lives would have been without me, because without me they would have stayed the family in the video and I know that's stupid, and it's not true and my mum is probably happy to have me, but it seems more like a consolation prize, loose a husband and gain a daughter. oh dear I'm getting teary again and I'm going to be a big puffball tomorrow if this keeps up.

Urg I'm so sorry to bum you guys out, I know how horrid it is when other people write depressing things and you never know what to say even if you've expirienced something really simillar so I'll get it if no one comments but yeah.


French oral tomorrow so I'd better sleep.

Tuesday, May 09, 2006

*twitch*

Just a short post, I'm having quite a nice time wandering around the house in my dressing gown and crown of confidence, murmering french conversation answers under my breath.

The problem is speaking french after speaking spanish is like having a curry and then going back to a salad or something. That's a really bad analogy but oh well.

Anyway, I did one of those 100 question quizzes yesterday, and sent it to Laura. Laura sent it back and then sent me a 200 word quiz and she is crazy if she thinks I'm going to complete it and send it back.

I think I am doing pretty well with my revision, I go on study leave on Friday, and then we have a week of study leave. After that we have two english exams, PE, ICT and a spanish reading I think. Therefore I should be able to revise for them in that week. Then we have the half term holiday and after that we have the rest of the exams which I will have revised for in the half term. It's all very planned out. Biology and Chemistry are sound. History I can finish in a day, French and Spanish I just need to go over vocab, Maths just needs tweaking and I think that's about it. Hooray! Soon the holidays will be upon us. Soon my pretties.

Also, check out the new Crazy and Lazy by our very own Yasamin. I, as usual play a lovely key role as "the BookEater" although I find the fact she's fazed out my relationship with The Nameless one rather amusing and a little sad. Speaking of the Nameless one, I'm sure if you read my blog, you read his and you heard about Chaos. Wasn't it terrible? Pets are precious things...

Not much more to write about except that I am so sad because I'm having all of my last lessons, so it's like no more spanish lessons, no more PE lessons awww...I tried to skip pe by hiding in the showers with Monique, but sadly it failed.

Also, did you know that in a girls school, everyone is about 5% lesbian?

Saturday, May 06, 2006

Later that day

Another update.

I've taken the liberty of making myself a Crown of Confidence. As featured here. If you are unfamilliar with the term, shame on you for not watching Green Wing.
The idea is that you put it on when you are feeling rubbish, or marginally less splendid and say:
Sarah Murano, you are a Queen
You are a leader!
You are the greatest human being to ever walk the planet.

Obviously you insert your own name and change the Queen depending on your gender. It's quite fun! I think we should all make them and post them on our blogs. Mine is very pink as you can see and I am wearing it right now. I made it super big so it fits nicely and I slide it under my pony tail. I can hardly tell that it's there.

I wish I'd checked my emails last night, I got an email from Avia, who is a doll by the way, and apparently she left Ue. Her blog leaves no clues and I've emailed her back, but I don't know what's going on really...

Green Wing!

I love Green Wing so much! Mac makes a totally cute dad, I'm coming around to the idea of Holly not being totally evil, and Guy was hillarious. Also, I need Sue White's sign. NEED IT. What makes the viewing expirience even more fun is that I text Melissa in the breaks and we share televisual insights.
My spanish oral went fine, but everyone else says that theirs went fine too, so I don't know what to think. I'm now practicing for my French oral which is next Thursday.
Yesterday we had an "English Party" in English, where we just ate alot really. It wasn't too bad and I decided that our entire school is about 5% lesbian.
I sent Yasamin her birthday pressente, but I couldn't speak to her on the phone :( Also, Nevviemore got my letter, and I hope she is going to write back soon, because Melissaah is pretty busy with exams and such. Perhaps I will send her a "Have fun studying" letter...hohum.
Anyway, little left to report on except that I got some awfully cute pajamas and my mum is trying to buy my affections which I have no problem with.

Guy: I'm not lending you money
Caroline: Well what do you want? My toaster?

Caroline: *Kisses guy*
Caroline and guy: With the makeyouty action

Can you believe Charlotte missed it so I had to type that ALL out?

Sunday, April 30, 2006

Did anyone understand that?

Looking back on my post from last night I decided I should really write a better one. I can't actually remember writing that, I just remember thinking "gosh I'm tired let me write about it on my blog" and seeing as it is pretty incoherent I might as well.

What happened, was I saw this competition to win Green Wing series 1, on DVD and after entering it, my brother was like "Sarah we don't have a DVD player" so then I went on loquax to find a competition for a DVD player and ended up entering like fifty. My fingers were so sore with typing my personal details.

My spanish oral is on Thursday, but I'm feeling pretty confident about it. I am now working on my daily routine answers once I've memorised my General conversation answers I'm set! I'm not trying to revise anything else right now, because I just want to wait 'till that's over. On Thursday evening I'll have to start revising for my French oral the following thursday, and after that, I'll start revising for Pe, ICT, English Lit and Spanish because they are the exams I have before the half term. See, I might not be doing alot of revision, but I know what is what is what I know!

I haven't got much to say because I'm writing alot in my real diary...only hello to Avia and Kiwi if they read this.

Competitions

Bleh I've entered so many competitions today, maybe like fifty. The amount of times I've type my name, age, post code and answer is remarkable. I hope I win something. I bet I wont and then I will have to cry.
I called Melissah today and we had a lovely chat on the phone although she was actually out having a picnic with some people she doesn't really know and she confessed to me she hasn't seen the happy cow in months. I do like how easy it is to talk to Melissah, there are no awkward silences or nervous laughing. Infact we tend to talk over each other alot which is funny, because neither of us seem inclined to stop, and we just keep going until we become aware that it's a little silly :p Anyway, we have a lovely conversation and then I watched Green Wing again. For like, the eighth time.

Did anyone else see it!!?? I mean firstly, the whole Mac child thing does not make sense one little bit. Secondly, why must they introduce a child? Children ruin everything! Thirdly, oh my gosh does this mean Caroline is going to have slept with Guy in the next episode? Fourthly Oh my gosh what if she does???? Fifthly why is Mac fictional? Fifthly I can't really remember actually.

But Ooohhh my gosh it was a good episode! I can't wait until next weeks!

I saw the tail end of Dr Who today, it made minimal sense I am afraid but at least I got a nice view of David Tenant who is like, such a babe. Anyway, I am a little crazy, what with being half in love with Mac, and half in love with David Tennant I am awfully confused with pretty much everything and it's late and I'm babbling so yeah also, I squished some flowers in a book that I got from my garden, the flowers not the book because I got the books from my room and I don't think the flowers are dried yet though so I shan't post them until like a week later.

Tee hee hehehe

Something Different

Today, just to be different, instead of writing my blog, I'm going to put up a picture of my real diary. It's a big black book that I write in.

I had to delete this picture because it was messing up my template :(

Isn't that nice? I've got a digital camcorder for my birthday, so you'll probably be getting more pictures from time to time.

Oooooone Hundreeed!

I gets no emails no more. It makes me cry in my heart.
The last four emails I gots are as follows:

I had to delete this because it was ugly.

How depressamundo are they?

Anyway.

The other day, I had a slight adventure. I was ouside with Olive in an attempt to get the worst of her moulting over outside instead of getting it off when I stroke her and either ending up with a ball of fluff in my mouth, (Go figure) or little fluff balls that float around the floor for weeks, being strangly evasive of the vaccum cleaner.
I was reading a book on the bench, which was rather pleasant when I realised that Olive was looking very pointedly above my head. I turned to see what was above my head, and I couldn't see anything, except for the fence. I turned back to point this out to my furry friend when she wiggled her bottom and I ducked, because when Olive wiggles her bottom it means she is preparing for a grand flying leap. Sure enough, she performed a grand flying leap right over my head and not quite onto the fence. She sort of reached it with her claws but not with the rest of her, and the rest of her is a significantly large mass. There was a short mad scramble but she got herself onto the fence. The problem was the fence was surrounded on my side of the garden by bushes, and had lots of obstacles in the way of just walking along it eg, THORNY PLANTS.

Olive was starting to look a little worried, so I decided I ought to rescue her. She's not really a street cat at all, I mean she's a house cat and she runs away from bees so she's nothing to boast about. I tried as I wanted but I couldn't get past the big bush infront of her current location, so I moved along a bit and tried to coax her, it woked, but I couldn't reach her. So going further along I gingerly pushed the spikey branches of a tree away and fearlessly plunged into the greenery in an attempt to rescue my dear olive. The idea was that i could get close to the fence and then move along it towards olive, but unfortunately she had other ideas and moved away from me. I considered just sitting there really still until she came close again but then I remembered the great spider clan that loved to sit in that bush. I got out of there sharpish. Once I had emerged it because rather obvious to me that Olive had gotton off the frence because I couldn't see her on it and I could hear some rather suspicious noises coming from the rose bush. I knelt down, and sure enough there was OLIVE!

I was about to crawl in and "rescue" her, when I noticed she was wiggling her bottom in a, I'm going to take a flying leap way. She was also looking at me in a "You look like a bird yum" way and then-

To do this retelling justices I must slow down time.

There I was, crouched in the grass looking for all the cats to see, a bird..(somehow) and Olive, apparently mistaking me for a bird was about to pounce on me. the second Olive moved she was shooting towards my head, to avoid her, I moved to the left, but unfortunately, she had never intended to harm me and moved to the left to avoid me. In short there was something of a collision.

And if it hurt me I hate to think what it did to her...

Journal

Well today has been just glorious.
I had a bit of a false start as I woke up rather late and heard my mother yelling up the stairs that I was a useless lazy girl, lovely. Then she and my brother left so I decided to go into the shower. Unfortunately the shower sucks, so I ended up standing in the shower cubicle pouring hot water over my head. Somehow I managed to get washed.
I ate my breakfast and read the rest of "I Capture The Castle." Mum came back with Riaz who had just passed his theory driving test and then she went out again which was fine by me. I read the last few pages of "I Capture the Castle" on the roof and returned to the house with throroughly windswept hair. It was rather a joke.
After lunch I did a whole unit of physics so I was rather pleased and then my revision for the day done I had some maths with my Tutor who only fell asleep twice and I managed to get full marks on a probablility question. Unfortunately I got near no marks on a simultaneous equation. It was one of those stupid ones where something equals x squared plus y squared and it just kills me. I then finally planted my seeds, if they are good I will find some way to take pictures of the plants. Unfortunately the patch that I have been allocated is far from being in direct sunlight but OH WELL.
After that I decided since mum was out again I would go up on the roof as I had realised I had nearly finished my journal, four pages left. I went out from my brother's bedroom window and had only been out there a while when the window slammed shut! I assumed my brother had partially closed it so that he wouldn't get a chill or whatnot so I persisted with my writing and musings and ho hummings. After I'd been out there some time (the weather was lovely, the wind a little boisterous but the sun was out and the clouds were the floaty kind) I heard the garage door open which was bad because it meant mom was home and she didn't like me being on the roof because it was too cold or something. So obviously I stopped writing and went to the window which was unfortunately closed and everyone knows you can't open windows from the outside because that would mean burglars and unfortunate little sisters would be able to get in. Weighing up my options I decided that I would be better off rescued and in trouble that frozen to the bone when Riaz finally remembered Olive wasn't the third member of the family and let me in. It's funny considering that I didn't really have any options being stranded on the roof and all.

First I tried knocking which thanks to good for nothing double glazed windows made little impression on the world. Then I looked vaguely around the roof to see if there was anyone in the vicinity that could be of aide. Oh yes I can imagine "excuse me sir, yes it's me, up here, I wondered could you go round to my house and inform my family that I am in fact stuck on the roof." I'm sure it would have gone down tremendously.

I scouted all around the roof and couldn't establish any even slightly safe way of getting off the roof without running a high risk of me being splatted on the floor. I tried knocking again and was pretty sure I could hear my brother and mother talking about me inside. Eventually, I lay on my stomach on the edge of the roof and knocked on the window of the kitchen by leaning over. May I mention that this was two metres up and there was only air between me and the cold kiss of concrete? After a moment that seemed to last for an age my brother's head appeared. I would have cried with the injustice of it all if my brother hadn't looked up and instead attributed the noise to some stupid bird that repeatedly flew into the window as if to assure itself that glass really does hurt. Luckily he didn't, and I was saved.

I went back to my room and finished the last page of my journal in peace. So I guess I ought to get a new one. After all, I've kept one for the last four years, it would be a pity to stop now.

...wait..oh yeah!!

I've suddenly got the whole "prozzy Lozzy" and "Jazzy Yazzy" thing! It took it's sweet time I must say.
Anyway, yes I had a very fun encounter in Bham town center which I hate, but I was all happy because of the aforementioned encounter. I bought four books which of course makes me so happy! I bought
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
Wendy
Happy Ever After

So I shall have things to read! hurrah!

Laura, I would call you, but in the past our telephone conversations have not gone very well :p

Tuesday, April 11, 2006

Funfunfunnnn

I had a very fun encounter today. Which I told Megz about on the phone. She laughed at me of course.

More on this topic later.

Dumdedum

Fricking stupid Gicksies. Revision=0.
Anyway, I am just posting a new comic, from the series I'm currently drawing. It's coloured, and most of them wont be, but it's also not as well drawn as I would have liked. As I keep drawing them they are inevitably getting better. They're very different from the traditional LASKI cartoons, but the jokes are the same sort of thing. Hope you like!

Gicksies

Ok guysiesI've got a bit of bad news....I wont be online for the Easter holiday, and I wont be updating my blog or checking my emails.

The reason for this is I have somehow completely failed to start revising for my gicksies and any net activity is going to distract me.

On that note, I am going to take a shower in the sink, because the flipping shower is all oh no I dont work so sarah has to use the flipping sink. Grackle!

And I won a lot of hair dye. I can be the five colours in her hair girl!

toodles

SEND ME A NECTERINE

That would totally be teh coolest thing ever in the history of the world.

I've got a work placement for two weeks in the summer at a retirement home, it'll be really interesting I think. y'know. Old people.

Anyway, I am feeling mas bueno as you might have noticed from the lack of "ARG HATE" in this post, but who knows what emotional turmoil tomorrow will bring? I STILL haven't done any proper revision. Infact I've just been drawing comics! Gah!

While we are on the topic of comics, basically, I like to only start posting a series when I'm working on the next one, so I'm not under stress to get a new one drawn. The current situation is that I have just finished posting my second batch, "fufillment" and I've finished drawing my third batch, "epidemic." I'm now working on the next lot, featuring my main character in a ten years later situation, reviewing her life and perhaps having some fun along the way. Guest characters will include Kat, and some fat woman who'll boss me around alot. This series looks to be quite fun to draw, as it's going to be more arty than my signature circle oblong characters. There's also going to be more backgrounds and general detail. I'm not sure if they'll have a story line, or if it'll just be several one off jokes, but we'll have to wait and see. You'll be getting them in about Mayish I should think.

Also, PLEASE READ MY COMICS! I hardly get any readers because I don't socialise enough on the forum, which for obvious reasons just wouldn't be a good idea. I know you guys have better things to do, but next time you check my blog, just click the Laski link and check out my latest cartoon. I'll really appreciate it, and if you comment I'll love you forever!

I'm currently writing my letter to Jess, and I'm going to post my letter to Melissaaah although it's a little later than I normal send them. I've been distracted.

My brother is messing around with a skateboard, he's home for the Easter holidays and has gone completely Seth Cohen on me. Funnily enough he hates the oc and doesn't watch it, but the fact remains that he is insane.

Just a few points...

Too distressed to write much.


Having week from hell.


Mental breakdown is imminent.


Devouring D/G fics at a shocking rate.

I have everything. Again

This post has been editted so that my friends can't get into my head


Rhetorical questions. Anyway, while my family in S.A have been getting on with the funeral, I've been reading fanfics. What a lovely niece I am. I read about this guy in the newspaper yesterday who is in the Labour party. He's bought a section of the amazon rainforest and so has prohibitted logging there. It is a really good idea, as it's an individual taking responsibility for ther world. Imagine if Starbucks and McDonalds and all the other big corporations did that, I bet there wouldn't be enough rainforest to go around. The rainforest provides 20% of the worlds oxygen, and 30% of it's freshwater, so it's a little worrying that it's going to dissappear some time soon. When you think about it, the earth is just like Venus, except a few hundred years behind. Venus suffers from extreme Green House Effects. It's so hot there because of it's atmosphere and no life could survive there if it wanted. The earth is so lucky, amazingly lucky to have been formed with all of the correct variables for life to exist, and yet we are polluting it. I'm polluting it right now, but that's not relevant as I'm a heartless person who cares only for herself anyway. I'm going to try and be as green as possible. I've heard that if they pu wind turbines in the North Sea they could generate enough electricity for the entire Uk, but I don't know if it's true and there are surely loads of complications.

I'm going to go and meditate, after I've done some chemistry.

Gee Sea Ess Eeees!

Gah! I tried to start revising but it just doesn't work! I mean I don't have a clue what moles are, I need to get to grips with the entire previous topic in Physics, and my French and Spanish Orals are coming up soon! I really need to get some work done! This weekend I'm hoping to really gt down to it.

Funny thing actually, the shower has screwed up and now it's leaking water through the floor, only the landing so people come into our house and get a miniature rainstorm on their heads. It's rather amusing as they aren't quite sure what's going on and ignore it for ages before asking us.

Today I had a mini party, I am not sure why, my mum organised it. We played uno with really really really really small Uno cards that I thought Laura would have liked. Then we played tig in the dark because we are childish like that and afterwards we watched Gladiator (Best film ever). Everyone has just gone home and I'm not going to write too much, because I need my sleep y'all know!

I was meant to look out for Yasamin's sister, but short of going into Bham City Centre with a sign around my neck which read "Is your sister Yasamin?" I didn't really see anyway for me to have met her. And besides that I spent all day in school.

My day was mostly uneventful, Kat couldn't say Zainab, and kept saying Zaina and then Zainabust. That girl, so odd you know. I still haven't recieved a button from Joanna! And she said she would write to me and all. For the record, I am heartbroken. Good thing I have my letters from Melissaaah to sustain me.

Right now it's a little weird, my internet life that is! I don't have that many emails, and only about four people comment on my blog, Kat doesn't count, as I see her everyday :p I check webcomics and my friends blogs but apart from that there is not much! So what is the agenda for tomozzy mozzy? Lets see, I shall wake up early and eat. Then I shall go through my physics book trying to learn a bit. Once I have finished that, I shall do a couple of questions on moles, and try and revise some of the last Chemistry Unit. That will probably be all the work, as I go to work at two, and I might go out before that. I think I need to get the newspaper because I'm a little behind the news. But then again, I'll get the Sunday times, no Metro or Daily Star for me thank you!

I have finished reading one of my fics, called "On temporary Loan From Azkaban." I do believe Laura would like it, purely because it has a lot of sex in it. I personally liked the story line, but no one will believe that I'm sure. Of course, as the tradition goes, I have now begun reading a new series! Just as long, if not longer. It shall most likely take me many moons!

What else is there to say? I shall try and do some gardening tomorrow.

LAND!

You know when youre computer isn't working and you can't get onto the internet and suddenly you refresh the page for the sixth time and it suddenly comes up! And you are like "HURRAH" Well it'sn ot quite so bad when you aren't addcited to the internet. Ok, so what's going on with me?

I have to write a letter to Melissaah, which I shall do tonight. Now infact!

Here's an extract from Kat and my emails

*twirls hair between fingers* So Kat, watcha working on? Kat: I'm trying to
paint this picture for the Earl of Worchester. Sarah: Oh Worchester, what a
bore, I'm sure we could do something farrr more interesting than- Kat: JUST
SEND ME THE DAMN DOCUMENT. Sarah: *sigh* fine, I'll send it right through
*sashays away* Kat: *yells after* and pull your skirt down

*Miss Katerina sits at her desk, with her heart-rimmed glasses at the end of her nose, working on some....French, when she should be doing her ICT*
*At this very moment, her Secretary comes into the room...*
Sarah: Your highness, I have brought you some....*wide eyed* Ooh....whatcha doon? O_O
*Kat quickly covers up her french with a mountain of paper...*
Kat: Nothing. ERrm....have you got those erm...short sk- PAPERS for me, please? *smile*
Sarah: Sits on her desk...cross legged...: Why, yes...Misss Katerina...And if you're doing French...I might as well just stop by and...cool off...later. *wink*
Kat: JUST GIVE ME THE GODDAMN PAPERS!!!!!

Yes we are rather random. It's hillarious, because I am sooo not like that. Really.

Prrrrpt

I know you guys are all waiting with baited breath to find out what I've been doing this weekend! And hasn't it been tremendous!
So here's a rundown.
Friday night my brother came home, yay! I sent my letter to Melissah on the way home from school. I spent two hours of English writing that letter so I hope she appreciates it. I find that the double english lessons we have on friday are a collosal waste of my time, and therefore put my mind to better uses. I was rather pleased, when I got home to find a parcel for me. I thought it was a parcel from either Melissah, Joanna, or even an early birthday present from my aunt. cough my birthday is on the 14th of april cough. Imagine my surprise when it turned out I'd won a competition I'd entered online and I'd won some portable ceramic straighteners! How shocking! I couldn't even remember entering the competition! And so I entered into the weekend rather on a good note. I vaguely remember my mum going out while I stayed at home and carried on with my knitting, which is going tremendously might I add.
On Saturday, I went shopping with my brother. Where we live, there are a large number of charity shops, about six. So yesterday we walked down, first we got my glasses fixed so I don't have to keep pushing them up my nose (Man is that annoying) Then we went two about five charity shops. I find it amusing that so many people hate charity shops,I mean they are essentially like ebay. I bought Gladiator the video which I heart! I LOVE THAT FILM. I also bought some wool and some knitting needles. My brother bought a shockingly small suit, because he is shockingly small and can never find suits small enough to fit him. I also bought some seeds! They are flower seeds. Two packs, one to be planted in March and one in May.
I got down to some really hardcore extreme gardening after lunch, clearing out the small patch of soil where I supposedly plant each year. Of course with the internet, I haven't done it for about two years and the patch was overridden with weeds and grass. I got rid of as much as possible and then left it, as the weather was sooo cold. I did a bit of school work and ate some brownies.
Today, I have continued a culinary adventure I was not aware I had embarked on, but nevertheless shall continue with a strong heart. I baked a wonderful chocolate cake, which went slightly wrong because I forgot to add all of the eggs. Luckily I rectified it and it tastes great!

Hello Neko Suave. How nice to make your aquaintance. And the rest of you, I hopes your curiousity has been sated.

Halloo

Owls, comics and why I hate Physics

I was debating what to call this post. There were several competitors. I was liable to call it "Kissing, Cartoons and why I hate Physics" but I knew that you give you all the wrong idea. Of course I haven't been going around kissing peoples! We all know that leads to no good. Kissing owls on the other hand?
Wait no, that's certainly giving you the wrong idea! I haven't been kissing any owls. Or any dead owls. Surely that would give me bird flu! Anyway, who would kiss a dead owl? I would. You'd have to be insane! But I can sort of see the attraction. Anyway, basically, what would you rather do, kiss a dead owl, or kiss a dead cat? Kiss a slug or a snail? Kiss a crab or a lobster. Kiss one dead owl or three? Difficult questions, I know.

Owls, I suppose the title is now partially explained. Well a second of the title is partially explained. Why, you ask, would I even think about kissing an owl, or even consider kissing a dead owl? I suppose I could always write a poem about it. I don't suppose if I ever saw a dead owl I would want to kiss it, but I do find the idea of kissing a dead cartoon owl very appealing. Readers of my comic, beware.

This leads us rather nicely into the next topic comis. I've been a bit of a comic crazy, this week I've started on my newest lot of comics, after the "expanding my horizons" batch which I am going to start posting from today, which is already finished. This one is about an epedemic. I'm not entirely sure where it'll take me, but you better believe it'll be abstract and probably end up with me waking up in bed going "It was all a dream." That truly is the cheaters way to end pretty much anything. It's quite fun though.
I have even got some ideas for the next lot of comics after this, inspied by my friend Kat, featuring psuedo versions of us as adults, working together. I shan't say anything else in case it doesn't visualise, but I think it'll be amazing if it does. I'm hoping that tomorrow, in a stroke of brilliance I will think of something to put in the current series I am working on, as I have got about half way, and don't know how to get back to base camp. It's hopefully going to work itself out, otherwise I'll have to abandon that particular strand and start from scratch.

Back to business, I really don't like physics. Kat and I have managed to syncronise our physics results. Funny really, we were trying to syncronise our periods...how odd. I have to go over the whole of the last unit because I am fair certain I didn't understand a thing. Also, I KNOW HOW TO KNIT! This makes me the queen of all things. Obviously. Knitting is teh cool.

Did you know that the river Amazon, has 2,500 different types of fish, whereas Great Britain has only 36? I am learning about the river amazong. I bought a table, and had spent all my credit texting YASAMIN and so had to walk all the way home with it under my arm. This week I have been reesablishing my friendships will Jooo, Yasamin, Megz and Lawla. I got a letter from Melissaaah today. I had better go reply to it!

Also, go read the new comic! Noooow! Hope you are all well and having fun, I must say I'm having a great time. I think I'm finally not addicted to the internet! God! It took long enough didn't it?


P.S. I made brownies. I love brownies. I ate brownies D: I shall have to make them again.

I am ill/lazy/learning to realign my perceptions.

Ooh Lookie!

You might have noticed that my blog is looking rather sexy, thanks to Rob and his HTMLing skillz, I now have links and a guestbook! That's enough for me though, all this coding and stuffs makes my head hurt.
Anyway, please comment on my guestbook! I've also finally got myself a comic hoster that I can work with, I mean Jelly Creations died, and Keenspace is way confusing, so now I've got this dead duck thing, and hopefully it'll be good! You can see the next two parts of the Adventures of Super Hero Sarah there, which I hope you are enjoying.

It's always like this, I'm all, comic comic comic for a few days, and then I'm like, Com-ick?

Anyway, Erin is off the net for a week, and so will I be, as I am working at school! I'll still be drawing the comic, but I wont be putting it up till Friday. Sorry if you cannot wait that long!

Contrary to popular opinion, I am actually being a super hero. I have a cape and an "S" pinned to my top. I'm not sure if the "S" stands for Sarah, or Super, but if anyone asks I'm liable to say either!

I'm pretty pleased with the snazzing up of this blog. It's nice.

oh wait, I'm meant to be writing the bloggers manifesto!

The Bloggers Manifesto

1. You must update at least once a week
2. You must comment religiously on your fellow bloggers blogs
3. You must always be on the lookout for new bloggers to join the bloggers team
4. You must help me think of a name of the bloggers team
5 You must be in love with Draco Malfoy


That's all I can think of :)

ANNOUNCEMENT

For the next few days, I am going to be blogging by way of comic strips.

Enjoy.


Friday, February 17, 2006

Finished!

Proper update later. Comments please! Isn't Ginny gorgeous?

Thursday, February 16, 2006

Dark and chaotic, slow and hypnotic, she comes into my mind


Hallo peoples! A short update, I'll update later properly, to say HI YAS. And to also show you what I'm working on. You can see this picture, well basically I am editting it amaking it look better in general. Tell me what you think!

Did some retail therapy, man that felt good!

Anyway, there is the picture, I was using water colours again. I need to add to her hair, and get my outlines and shadows a little darker so you can see them when it's scanned in. Isn't Ginny's bow cute?

*cough* There's a Hermeverus i my throat


Today I swallowed a sherbet lemon whole! Shocking!

What's the russian word, meaning to disperse?

Anyway I am on the phone to Kitty-Kat right now. It's all good.

No doubt you have noticed that picture there. It's a Hermeverus, it's crap. I tried to draw it and it failed, then I painted it and that failed! In all it's sucky! I posted it so Laura appreciates the effort I made on her behalf! Actually, I bet she wanted someone way more ranchy. Ew. Just Ew.

I need to practice my romance scenes actually, but it's sooo hard!

And not to mention embarrasing.

I'm cooking fishy fingers right now, because I am a magnificent chef doncha know?

Anyway, this isn't a long blog, but I propose that the blogging club, members Sarah, Laura, Yasamin and Rob (Did anyone tell Rob?) Should make the club official by ....doing stuff. Like Rules and mottos and stuff. Yeah.

I can't afford to be neutral on a moving train!

And Adam, Rob's blog would only upset you!

'Cause I've been waiting for so long, to sing my teenage victory song...

Wowee, all of my friends have blogs! Laura, Yasamin and Bob! How awesome!
We are going to be like a blogging team or something! We'll be blogging like crazy! I'll just be like, blog blog blog blog.
So everyday, I can come online, check my blog and then comment on all of their blogs! It'll be awesomely cool!
Anyway, back to my blog. I did some biology revision yesterday, that was interupted by my friend kim.
Before she arrived we had the following text conversation

Kim: Happy valentines day!
Me: How sad, none of us have bfs, you and ellen should come round and we'll have a menagé trois.
Kim: I'm on my way
Me: Whaatttt???? I was kidding!!? You really thing I'd invite you over for a
threesome?

And then she came around anyway...I mean you guys all know what a menag
é trois is right? Clearly she didn't. We did some revision anyway, genes and whatnot.

Today I'm trying to do some maths, by going through the revision guide and just learning what I can't do. For example I
haven't a clue about irrational numbers...well I do now, basically they are ugly. So if you see an ugly number, chances are it's irrational.
I'm doing percentages now, i mean I can do percentag
es but it's just a good idea to review. It's all pretty easy right now, but soon it'll get harrd. And I'll cry! Lots!

My mum asked me if I want to do Dentistry, I told her t
hat it would be like staring into someones mouth all day, (now I think of it, it would be exactly that!) and she said that I would get alot of money! Shocking! I told her that I want to sit at home and watch chickflicks all day and she sighed at me!
Really! I mean I'm fifteen without a purpose or direction...I don't owe anyone a f*cking
explaination!

I know what you are all thinking. You are wondering how I haven't drawn another D/G pic. I'm afriad I have! But it's not really D/G, it's kinda G/T! How weird! It's only b
ecause Ginny went wrong, and I can't draw Draco anyway, so it ended up just, oh well just look at it! It's right there! Anyway, as usual comments are appreciated!

I would like to point out that Adam is a little perv! I am doing one of his fanfiction challenges, and you know what he set me to write?
A love scene with you and your favourite character Well first of all, no way am I writing porn! It's just so classless! I might write a romantic scene, with underlying love, but nothing obvious!

Laura, I'm still not going to draw you a Hermerverus. It's just wrong. Can't you google it if you're that desperate? Or draw one yourself!

I'm always dressed to kill....And I feel like I always do


I am an ADDICT!
I saw the picture at the top of This and became inspired. I printed it off, and then made a copy of it which you can see here. I'm really pleased with it, as I copied and expanded. Obviously the original artist, there's more information about her on D&G.com is immensely talented and I wouldn't have been able to draw something like that without seeing it before, but I still like the end result.

This only actually took me a few minutes, although once I had finished I spent a bit of time doing shading and editting it.

Once I'd finished this, I thought I ought to practice my Draco skills, which are rubbish by the way, I much prefer drawing Ginny, but I managed an okayish sort of picture which you can see. I know it's crappish, but I thought I'd show you guys anyway. I need to see some more Draco pictures really, I mean I suck at drawing boys, never mind ferrets!

You might notice that all of my pictures are in black and white, because I don't have access to any paints, and pencil crayons would probably ruin the effect. One of these days I'm going to have to work out how to use photoshop and edit my pictures there!

And after I drew that? No I still wasn't satisfied! I work hard at being obsessed! I drew a cute little D&G christmassy thing that you can see below. Yes I know I'm late, but who cares. It just sort of sprang to mind. It's more cartoonish than anything, but I like it.
I'm thinking that Draco looks a bit drunk though...well he'd have to be to consider kissing ginny! I love her cute little jumper! Oh and her freckles came out well.

I should really stop gushing about my crappy pictures! The only one I really like is the top one, and that's a copy of someone elses! But a good copy I think.

Tell me what you think!

And update on my life? I finished pokemon red! And by that I mean I defeated the elite four, not that I caught 150 pokemon.I mean who does that!? No one does that.

LOVES AND ..STROODLE!

AND SO YOU SAY

Don't make the killer/non-fatal mistake of assuming that the title of this update has anything to do with anything! Because it doesn't! Shocking!

A recapp of my day:

My mother and aunt look out of the window and have a conversation, the transcript follows:
"Wow, look at that tit!"
"My goodness! It's huge!"
" yes and so smooth"
"But look at the colour"
"I didn't know they came in that colour"
"It's a great tit isn't it?"
"Really? I thought it looked like a green one"
"Sarah, are you ok?
"Uh, yeah, mum, I'm fine, I just have to go and *runs away*"

I mean really, next thing they'll be reading Maxim and annotating the pictures!

So I came back from my aunts, throroughly revitalised and once again managing to do little, (none...) revision for my upcoming GCSEs which although I have become quite profficient in lecturing others in the importance off, I have yet to embark upon the voyage of bored- revision.

It has become apparent to me, that having ones own personal life drama is somewhat difficult with exams and such, on television this never seems to be a problem. Perhaps this is because the characters are fictional? I daresay, I have only ever seen Marissa (Of the O.C. Like DUH) doing her homework once! And that was in between generous quantities of tonsil tennis with Ryan (Can we say ewwwww?) and ..well shooting people.

I have planned to begin my revision tomorrow! Well actually, now I come to think of it, I previously intended to begin my revision yesterday, and then today, and then this afternoon, but right now it's tomorrow. I might as well just push it onto Wednesday, as that's the way it's going to go and we all know it, but thinking ahead is just not for studious studiers such as myself.

I've been thinking that it's about time I considered my career. Until recently, I was thinking of being a power mother, but now I am steering closer to being crazy cat lady. And before you say it's already been done, I'll give it an edge! Like hell I will! What will the edge be..Uh I dunno yet.


Wait! I have it, cats doing extreme sports, such as jumping through hoops of fire and such! Though possibly the RSPCA wont be so cool with that, but with the monarchy pretty much out of here, I can't see why they would hold sway. I also think being a recluse/looney might be good for my mind. I bet I wouldn't be distracted from my maths homework if I was a looney/recluse.

Ok, definitely from tomorrow I am going to become a reclusive looney. That way, I am sure to get my work done. My main duty is to draw several obsessive D/G pictures, (Several more) and try and persuade olive to jump through a hoop. Darn that cat. Everytime I try it, she looks at my with this "you fuckwit" look. I'm almost offended. I would be offended if I couldn't retailiate with a smooth wiggle of my opposable thumbs yep, I've definitely got the advantage! Sarah 1. Olive 0. Except then she sort of scratched my thumbs whilst I wiggled them rather overly energetically. But I bet it was cause she's stupid and thought they were mice or something. Really. As though I would hold a mouse. (Can we say eww...again?)

I'm getting a little jittery thinking about the massacaring of my pooor thumbs, which makes every stroke of the space bar painful for me. I think I should review my goals

1. Become a recluse
2. Look up dictionary definition of said profession (Wouldn't want to get it wrong and end up a plumber or something)
3. Stare at my nails a bit. Study whether depending on the angle that the light hits them, do they look shiner?
4. Do some maths..maybe. Or more likely pretend to, but instead doodle D/G pics in the "do not write in this margin" section of my practice papers.
5. Somehow convince olive to jump through the hoop. (Maybe pick her up and put her through it?)

Yeah, I think that's quite good..


HEY LOOK. A picyture. I quite like drawing. But I cannot draw Draco! Dunno why...I have no problems with pretty much anything else relating to him.

Today my hair status resembles a sort of black haystack. I mean it's not even a haystack, it's like you took a nest, a crows nest or something equally ugly, and then brushed it, and spraypainted it black. Oh and then put ridiculous amounts of volumising shampoo on it. My hair has a tendency to do that. It's just so big...apparently when I was younger it was really thin so we kept bobbing it in the hopes it would get thicker...AND IT DID AND NOW I AM A WALKING CROWS NEST AKA SARAH YIELD-SIGN MURANO . It's scandalous is what it is.


I am a-wondering whether I can be a heroine. I see no reason not to.

From this day forth, I shalt be a superher- I mean I shall be a looney, reclusive heroine.

Or at least for the rest of the half term.

Did anyone read all of this?

Je suis un artiste


I really really like this picture, I hope you guys do too! It was inspired by the photobooth picture on dracoandginny.com check it out! I was going to do a ginny and Draco picture, but I can't ever draw guys, so it ended up as a Ginny..ginny picture, and neither looks like Ginny now. It actually looks like random girl, thinking about her pseudo self..as both of them don't look the same. Because I cannot draw them both looking the same! I particularly like pseudo Ginny, and I am loving her skirt, I must say. I've also managed eyes, which I'm particularly pleased with.

I've mainly uploaded it to show the lovely joanna, who is lovely. By the way.

Today, was uneventful, but, I did a silly assembly on Colours this morning, though I'm not sure what I said...something about genes I am a-guessing? I managed to sneak in my maths coursework while my teacher wasn't looking! Thank goodness! If I haven't already mentioned it, I kinda fucked up my coursework, and therefore couldn't finish it, and handed it in incomplete. Luckily I stole some and finished it with the help of my lovely friend Rachel and my cat. Then I snuck it back in! Perfecto!

Ce monde est merveilleux

Even if you can't always see it! It really can help piece of mind to see the good in everything. The walls that sometimes seem to trap you are keeping you safe.

Anyway, I'm reading a french novel called "Anna et son Orchestre" It's quite good.

Tatiana and Nadia Digame...


Nada.

Seeing as Nadia has disappeared, and Tatiana is talking to my mum, ah well!!

Here's a piccy of Nadia on the left and Tatiana on the right. Why are there two of them? Well that's an interesting story!

So if anyone is wondering why I am not paying them attention, it's because I am spending some time with these lovely girls.

I have to do some spanish coursework tomorrow. Oh no. It will be so difficult. Just terrible. Do NOT know how I will possibly manage.


After school they say they will be doing some kind of dance for us! Wow! I mean, why are english people so boring really? I mean everyone else has something, we are just rude. How annoying. It seems to me that we spend all our time learning about other people's culture because we don't have any ourself!

On the left is Tatiana and Nadia caught talking to my mom, hence their sort of "wtf" look. They say that they will upload the pictures that they've taken here onto their photolog and then they'll link me to it via an email! I am thinking of getting a photolog myself, but I ought to get a camera first really.

They take pictures of everything! It's really cool! Nadia is addicted to msn, not unlike a certain somebody I used to know. Cough. Myself. Cough.Tatiana also likes the internet (Nadia calls her Tatty! Como tierna!) but she doesn't seem as addicted. Earlier Nadia had a video conversation with her mum which was lovely. They've only been gone like, three days, but I bet they feel homesick. I really ought to take them upstairs, we haven't made Tatianas bed yet, so we ought to hurry!

I hope that when they leave, Tuesday morning, so not long really, we will keep in touch. Who knows, maybe I'll visit them someday! I know I wouldn't mind them staying here again, they're lovely, and I certainly wouldn't be bored with that kind of company.

Get this, while the rest of the group go back to Buenos Aires, Nadia is going to continue to Paris, stay in a hostel there, and then go to Rome. Then after that she's going to stay with family in Italie! Wow!
That kind of stuff does just not happen to people here. Especially not people who are afraid to leave their houses.

Also I am having a family crisis. I cannot deal with any other crisises because of this. If you are having a crisis, and it is in any relation to me, do not expect any fast solution.

Someone made a big boo today...

So incase you didn't catch my three second dash on msn, here is what REALLY happend.

I GOT KIDNAPPED BY ALIENS AND THEY Forced me to go on msn! They said if I didn't, they would..would..probe me! EWW.

Ok maaaybe not. I just didn't want my msn thingy to expire so I tried to sign in offline..which I clearly need to practice, as the next thing I know I have six msn conversations going "WTF." Believe me, I was thinking the exact same thing.

Anyway, it made me miss all of you lofflys even more! But I do wonder, why on earth are you online at 4PM? Shouldn't you be making a last minute attempt at homework? What's that? Shouldn't I? Yes. This is very true.

But luckily, Tatiana will be here soon, and then SHE can do my homework. Well just my spanish.

I'm reading the Sundaytimes because I'm cultured like that.

Darn those aliens!

If a pentagon can be split into three triangles, why do I hate maths coursework?

Blogggininnng. I am blooggggining. That is not a word! I am writing blogining because it would be a word if had written the dictionary.
So hohoho
Nothing to report really.

Parents evening is next week, that should be a blast...oh and I have to have a post sixteen interview about coming back to the sixth form. How fun. I have to tell them what I am going to bring to the sixth form. Killer shoes. I am going to bring killer shoes to the sixth form

Omigosh, so yesterday in English, Denise sort of moved her arm, and oh so accidently on purpose revealed a slightly self mutilated wrist, so I was like "Denise...what did you do to your wrist?" and she covered it up and was like "I was bored." now correct me if I'm wrong, but is that the most bullshitting excuse ever? So I said "Don't show kat" because who knows what Kat would do. It's not like she's naive or anything, but half the time she'll put on a big show for her own amusement which is all fine and dandy, but giving Denise the attention she wanted was probably not the best idea. So anyway, Eventually Kat sees it, and she yelps and jumps and goes "OMG" and hyperventilates which is like so overreacting if you ask me, but she seemed to thknk it was normal. So then Denise was all like hahaahaha. Finally we convinced Kat that Denise got in a ferocious bout with her cat.

Cutting yourself, is not that worst thing you can do, heck, it has it's upsides right? Cutting yourself for attention is a little pathetic. Cutting yourself because youre bored is like OMFG GET BROADBAND. Seriously, if anyone needs to get addicted to a message board, it's her. You wouldn't believe the crapt hat comes out of that girls mouth.
But who knows, maybe it's all true, butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, and I'm going to hell for doubting her.

I spent last night playing a french boardgame. It's pretty cool, you get delt four cards, and then each have a town on them, with some information about the town. Then you play on this big map, and you start at Paris. The aim of the game is to move around the map, through all of your destinations, and then return to Paris, the first one there is the winner. What makes it difficult is that everytime you reach a destination you have to take a yellow card, which gives you an instruction to put your piece somewhere on the map. This can be good if you end up somewhere that you want to be, or bad if you were like, two places away from your final destination.

But I was playing it properly, which meant everytime I landed on a place I had to read the card in french about the location, and then speak in french the whole time. On one hand it was totally cool, I mean french totally rocks. And I feel SO contental when I speak it, and I am not that bad I must say 93% you know! On the other hand, when I've been revising all day, (hello, GCSEs are in like 12 weeks! Eek!) and then learning spanish vocab all evening, translating reams of french isn't my ideal way to spend the hour before I got to bed. I swear, if I had been awake enough to dream last night, I would have been dreaming about frenchness. Or french cheese!

Ohhh my gawwdd! Really cool interesting news like wow! So this Sunday, there are these argentinians coming from Barker College in Buenos Ares (sp?) and they are going to be playing hockey against my school! I cannot, I repeat, CANNOT play hockey for anything, but they needed a place to stay so I volunteered. I am providing an establishment for Tatiana Vanesa. I mean how pretty is that name!!?? Where'd I get off with a name like Sarah? I speak spanish pretty well, so it should be excellent for my practise, and she goes to a school where fifty percent of the lessons are taught in English so there wont be any misunderstandings I think.

I'd probably be better equipted to speak to someone french, as phrases like, "si tu voudrai" and "c'est le jour de toi," but I'm sure I'll be able to get a bit of spanish in my head in time for tomorrow afternoon. It's going to be like, the best! Bad news though, I'll have to clean my room!

Well I have to go study now, becauseI have work at 1.30 and then I have swimming at six and if you didn't realise my GCSEs are soon!

If anyone knows, could they pass on to me squirrelmick's predicted grades? It would be most appreciated. Mine kick ass by they way.

If I actually get them, I'll be dancing the charleston on a flagpole.


JOOOOOOOOOo why do you not email me? My heart grows sick from not speaking to you!
Lawla! That girl at school? Called Laura? She thinks I am way weird.
Megz, you didn't call, I sob.
Melissaaaaah I hope your essay is dancing ccrazy! Did you take history for Alevel?
& Adam, for someone who misses me so much, I haven't had an email from you in weeeks! And what about the whole fanfic thing!?


LOVE YOU GUYS!

P.S. I had a dream that you replaced me with Bangzz

Somewhere ahead is the back of the line

Doyyeee I've got nothing to say to you kerazy chicks..and dudes. Not that dudes aren't crazy because they totally are, but they aren't really kerazy, probably because of the alliteration thing. Although now I come tot hink of it, "kerazy" and "chick" don't start with the same letter. I mean "kerazy" starts with a "k" and "chick" starts with a "c" so it's not really alliteration. It's a lie.

How shocking.

Lemmme see, what happened this week.

Well I got a 38/45 in my spanish listening test, and it was like, a practice paper, so the fact that I'm getting such high marks already is really good! I got a 33/40 in my French reading, also very good, I beat Nicola by like, 1 mark, which is good! Very good! Gooder than you know! I found out my predicted grade for PE is C...aww well, fuck that. You can't win 'em all! Well you can. But I can't. I suck at PE.
Anyway. Highlight of my week? Probably when I foudn out I got 73/75 altogether in my History Coursework. Joint highest in the year. Who rocks? *Silence* Any guesses? No one? No one has a clue who could possibly rock? Nah, me neither.

Gah, this week was all like "OMG YEARBOOK" and I was like "OMG I DON'T CARE" and the following happend.

1. I refused to get a yearbook picture taken
This lead to my friend getting all sulky.

2. I decided I would only get a yearbook picture taken if I could have a multicoloured lollypop infront of my face.
This lead to my friends being like, "Sarah..."

3. I got a boring picture taken, but editted it in photoshop so let's just say all the minor imperfections on the real thing? Not there.
What? I know I know, but my motto is, if you've got to be there, at least look good.

4. I refused to be in the class yearbook picture
This lead to me being frogmarched into the picture and FORCED to smile.

5. I refused to put my name down for the prom
This lead to my friends putting my name down WITHOUT ME KNOWING. Scandal

6. I found out that my friends put my name down and crossed it off.
This lead to the following conversation
Me: Why did you put my name down to go to the prom??
Friend: So you can go...
me: I'm not going to the prom...
friends: *in unison, like a choir* Yes you are
me: no I'm not. I'm going to stay at home and be a social outcast
friend: *avec pout* Sarah, you always do this whenever we do a whole class thing
me: Yes. because whole class things are lame
friend: *Gives me I-wish-you-would-just-grow-up-like-I-clearly-have face*
me: *stubborn face*

So I win! sort of. I'm not going to the prom. Not if they pull me kicking and screaming. I refused! I am a conciencous objector! I mean really, if the preps threw a party, would I go? No I would not! It is like..the biggest anticlimax of any girls life. What I didn't mention to my friends is that my mum said I could take some friends and have a day out, go bowling and to the cinema and eat out if I didn't want to go. Hehehe. Teehee. Ha ha hepetitis.

Gawd, there is this girl in my year called Denise, who is like...well she's debatable. Sometimes she can be cool, other times really not. She spends most of her time telling us about her boyfriends who are either.
1. using her for sex
2. UGLY
3. Using her for sex, oh wait I did that one. Uh.
3b. imaginary
So in English, there is me in the middle, writing, doing the "group" work that our lazy as a fisherman english teacher Mrs "Iamalightbulbwithchickenlegs" Parks sets for us, in an attempt to do as little as possible. Then I have Kat on one side, Denise on the other, talking about D's boyfriends. So I listened to her stories for a bit. This lesson it was about a guy who she'd been "in love with" the day before, and then it turned out that all of the "signs" which she thought meant he liked her, didn't actually, and he was a jerk. It was, dull. So after a bit, I went and talked to some actual cool people, although Denise is all like "oooh so scene." So we were chatting, and Denise actually has the ..stupidity, to ask me why I am not working. This lead to some mild swearing and unorthodox cursing, before giving her the Talk. No, not that one, the "DO NOT FUCK WITH ME" talk. Highly effective.

Funnily enough, when I went back to sit with her, she acted like nothing happend, and then wrote "Sarah rocks my sox" on my hand. How strange. She's odd, but cute. Like a puppy that keeps coming back to you. Yes. A self harming suicidal but not quite suicidal puppy.


Melissa still hasn't written back to me.
A couple of you seem to have forgotten I exist and not emailed me.

What the hell does "on a break" mean anyway?


Peach out!

Partay? Groan

Partying is all good and well, but not when you have to spend the next morning apologising to the neighbours for playing Mr Brightside so loud at 11Pm, nor is it fun to discover some pizza on one arm of the sofa. Infact, clearing up after a party, from taking the glitter gel off the floor, to removing the confetti from the chandelier, is all in all not very fun.
Partying on the other hand, is rather fun.

I'm very busy today, just taking a break from tidying up. I have to go to work at two, and am planning to have lunch before that. I'll be back by four, I have to do a maths paper, a biology poster, and a french sheet for homework. Then I want to do two units of spanish extra work, and revise for a spanish test on lost objects. After I've done all that I can relax with Anna Karenina and Dashboard Confessional.

Gawd, it's busy being a geek.

I'm thrilled by the amount of sleep I'm getting. Due to my early nights, last night I went to bed at half 11, but I was able to wake up this morning, completely rested at 9 which is shocking for me. I can stay in bed until 1 if my mum will let me.

Speaking of mums, mine is ploughing down the stairs, probably to yell at me. byee

Super Duper Fantastic Project!

Finally! My super project will be unveiled. It's a bit of an anti climax actually, but it took ages, and here it is!


Yeah...sorry about the whole not funnyness, I tried, I really did! It just didn't work out. Either way, I did try, so please comment!

Another soz boz

Very very very busy, stupid coursework and stuff, I really need to concentrate on a couple of things. I wont be able to update until probably next Saturday, but hopefully by then the super thing will be done, and I am working on it as we speak. Sort of. I'm having a party on Friday, so I'll take some picys and hopefully upload them..

Having fun listening to old but cool musack.

Finished 1984, plan to read Lolita tomozzy mozzy. Hopefully I can update some of my fics next weekend

SOZBOZ

So busy. So busy so busy. Thank goodness I'm not still on ue. SO BUSY.

Drowning in work, I'm sorry that I can't update properly and I can't unveil the marvalous project that I have been working on I tell you, but I've been so busy that I haven't managed to finish it..I'm going to go to bed now and try and read 1984 (tough book) and tomorrow I have to go out.

I'm having a slight dilema about choosing a 6th form. I can choose to stay at my own school, or I can go to a private school which is better with smaller classes, not to mention I could get a russian GCSE on the side. The only problem is, I need As or A*s in my subject A Level choices, I need generally As and A*s in all my other subjects, I need to do an exam on my knowlege of my A Level choices plus maths and english and I need to interview well, and I need to pay £6000 a term to go to the private one. There's not really any point in being worried about it now. If I don't get in then all of the worrying will have been in vain. I'm just sort of trying to keep up with my work.

Tomorrow I'm going to an adult party, I've got some bubbles that don't burst, and I am going to take them which will be teh cool. I've done quite a bit, and everything is going good, but I'm a bit stressed and I can't really write it all down here.

Internet cravings are getting lower.

The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret

Silly blogspot, it’s not working,s o I’m typing this in word, and I’ll upload it later with any luck!

Once again, I’m not on ue, or on msn, but I’m a bit annoyed because Blogger isn’t working, which means I cannot update! And I know everyone, including me, was eagerly awaiting my update!

Today, when I got up, I felt crap, through lack of sleep, and I also felt a little sick, so when my mum suggested I stay at home I obviously wasn’t too bothered. I went to bed, and woke up two hours later feeling wonderful. I had a nice long shower and generally felt good.

My holiday brochure arrived! I love holiday brochures; I love looking at all the places! It’s so fun! You can pretend you are lying on a beach in the Mediterranean instead of being in England, it’s a wonderful feeling. I also like cutting out the pictures and sticking them onto other things, it’s just a cheery sort of activity I enjoy.

I managed to do a large amount of homework, so I’m pretty proud of myself. I’m fed up of silly Blogger, so I’m going to do something better and I’ll update tomorrow, with my wonderful creation.

TTFN.


LATER.

Yes, this is the future, how completely shocking. It is a new and slightly scary place.

OMG, the phone has not stopped ringing today, I'm going slightly mad! It just wont stop, and everytime I end up answering and every time it's not for me. Le sigh.

I spoke to my brother last night and we decided that this weekend we might go shopping for cheap videos, which is great, and will get me out of the house. I'm having a good time today really. Look at what I've done.

1. Biology Revision
2. One Picture
3. One project
4. One comic
5. Adam's fic
6. A bit of the next chapter of my Lily/ Snape

I was particularly pleased with Adam's fic, I wrote it for this competition thing he set, and it was only a short piece. The link is here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2746029/1/
It took two days for me to write, and it has no plot, and is exceedingly short. So much so that after I wrote it I felt as though I probably shouldn't have posted it, and thought it was horribly inadequte, but my lovely readers, not only my ue friends who I normally force to read things, but a few loffly people off ff.net actually reviewd it saying they liked it which really made my day. I was pleased with it as a piece of writing, but I didn't think anyone else would particularly appreciate it.

For those of you curious about my comic, I'm moving it to keenspace, so it takes a while, it might be two weeks, believe me, it's not my fault, blame keenspace! But I see this as a good thing, I mean it gives me time to get a good amount of comics done, but not posted, so that I can update reguarly. I shall post the link here once it's all up and running, and it's going to be good! Barbie will be making several guest appearances.

Soem of you might know that I like cutting magazines up, infact I thin I mentioned it above. Well today I cut some of the Style magazine I get free with the Sunday times up, and then stuck it down, sort of, and made quite a nice picture, but I don't think it'd appeal to my readers, so I shan't post it here. Suffice to say it was rather good, and a good use of my time :)

Oooh my project. Well I'm sure you've seen my puppets by now, so get ready for this. Tada! *points to picture below*

Now I know, alot of you are sitting there going, WTF? I assure you in real life it's more obvious what it is. The words on the top, yes they are words, say "The Puppet Show" and there are curtains on either side. In the middle is a picture, mainly compiled of magazine cuttouts, actually, it's from a James Villa brochure that I ordered, and then stuck down. It's a beach scenery. Below that, you have all my of my puppets so far lined up, and you might just be able to see far left Joanna and far left Yasamin. Obviously if I was using the puppets, only two or three of them could appear on "stage" at the same time, as there just isn't enough room for them. The background with the beach scene is easily removable, but as of yet, I don't have any other backgrounds, so all you'd have is cardboard..I'm planning on making a forest one :) The idea being you lean the back ground against the wall, and then put on the floor a piece of paper, on which you draw a very rough picture. For this, it would be the beach, mainly sand, a bit of sea, and draw some people on. You then use your puppets there! It sounds awful, but it's really not! I'll explain in detail another time.

So! That's how I spent most of today! The next chapter of my Lily/Snape is coming along nicely, but anyone who reads my writing religiously might have noticed that it's become a lot more descriptive, and I like to think it's gotten better. This means it takes far longer to write chapters than it used to, as I'm actually putting more emotion and thought into what I write, unlike my blog whereI just write any old crap. I'd particularly like to thank Megz for always reviewing, she's a sweetie. And Laura..hallo.

Hope you are all well

xxxxxxxLoveyoutothemoonxxxxxxxxxx

I'm missing msn, the temptation to sign in offline is very strong.

Day 1

Well hidey ho there. Check it out. I'm not on msn. I'm not on ue. I've done most of my homework. I am writing my blog.

Totally cool.

Anyway, yesterday wasn't very easy. I mean as soon as I logged off, I was like, what the hell did I just do? And I wanted to check the thread to see how ue had reacted so much! I was really really desperate. But I didn't, I turned off the computer and went to bed. All night I wanted to get up and check, but I didn't. How cool am I?

Today I had to go to the sports centre before school, trail all the way there and then all the way back. It's so sleepyfiying. Consequently I didn't pay attention in Spanish and Maths ( We did a practice paper, bleurg) and then chemistry. Urg, I feel like there is this load of information I have to somehow process into my mind, and it's too big, and I'm trying to squash it in, but when I get one corner it, the other corner pops right out and I need to start over. It's almost impossible to grasp certain concepts.

My homework is really piling up. As I didn't do anything this weekend, I have to do it now, I have done biology, and maths, because pooey mrs Davis said that I had to finish the exercise, even though I totally cannot do the whole thing, so there isn't any point anyway. I just don't get it, nor am I motivated enough to actually do it. I've just about done my spanish, and I have to do history, also for tomorrow. I should be doing it now actually. Grah. Well I suppose I speak for teenagers everywhere when I say it can wait till later.

I'm writing this blog entry super fast, so I can keep all my lovely friends updated with my life, and still have time to live it.

Yesterday, while I was sitting around feeling depressed about leaving the internet, my friend came round. Her name is Maryam, and she's french, she's super cool, and as our parents are friends they sometimes pop round. So I had just finished making these lovely puppets that you can see below. Yes, I'm a little crazy. So I printed off some pictures from ue, cut them out and stuck them on to these pieces of card. They are the coolest! If you wish to be added to the collection, just link me to a picture of you, with a good headshot in your comment.
Maryam and I actually had a good play around with them. Laura and Erin went to the beach and hung out, Laura is an alcoholic and broke the Tardis, Erin stepped on several people. I shall probably post the rules of that game once I realise what they really are, then everyone can play it. I predict it will be the thing everyone is doing. All the crazy people at least.

I'm a little tired, but I had a nap after school so I'm all weird. I also have the hiccups. *hiccups* Scandalous.

4 tasks I have set myself tonight.
1. Do Biology, maths, history homework
2. Answer Emails
3. Update blog
4. Start on Adam's fic.

I've the middle two now, but I need to do history!!! And Also, I have made no headway on the fic.

P.S. Love you all. Wish I was on msn right now. Please comment!

Budding Young Writer: Scribbling in Bathroom!

After about fifteen minutes at school, the enthusiasm of going back for a new term wears off and you realise you have another 14 weeks until the summer. That's 70 days. That's alot.
