i'm writing this so i have an excuse to stay on the net for longer- me and becky are attempting to stay up until three A.M so we can watch the manics on CD:UK repeated, but lately i've been going to bed at half eight and the like, so it's been hard =/
rocky horror was great, sheryl kept "going for a smoke" though (a phrase we all found hilarious, for some reason) and vickie kept trailing behind her and following her around everywhere. i sat next to nouran who was going crazy! and yelling things like "I'M A ROCKY HORROR VIRGIN!" and stuff! becky sat next to kirsty, who had lipstick on her head! because she was dressed up as eddy! we got goodie bags and cards with "arsehole" and "slut" written on them! i took off my shoes because they killed my feet even though they just weren't very high! we got given party poppers in the gift bag but mine did not pop! we sang rocky horror songs for days afterwards at school; me and kerryn kept singing the time warp in the P.E changing rooms. i wouldn't have felt very confident about this usually but the changing room has different sections and we were in our own little section so nobody was watching us or anything. nouran became temporarily obsessed with transvestites afterwards, but i think she's gone off them a bit now.

a sentence i never thought i'd say-today, school was actually bearable! i had a free lesson first, and that was actually a bit rubbish =/ but i listened to this boy tell everyone about the time he got drunk and stayed out all night and as a punishment, his dad made him go rock climbing the next day, as he hated heights. good thinking. then i had science, which was good; me and vickie listened to sonny and cher on her flashy mp3 thing and finished the work, and matt ate an odd coloured fruit pastel. break was so-so, me and vickie kept going for walks because i felt like i couldn't sit still in the form room. we went to the vendors and saw some people; alex is trying to convince me to go to the duke of edinburgh trip to new zealand in a few years with the school, but it's for three whole weeks! i'd just get homesick =/ then i had R.E, which was really fun. i do love R.E, as OMGZ N3RD!!11 as that sounds. we made war collages and somehow the class found out that me and emily and connie (and other people not in the R.E group) are going to rocky horror, so they were all saying "WHY ARE YOU GOING TO SEE A TRANSVESTITE SHOW HAHAHAHA TRANSVESTITES!!!" and we were all "er, okay" it was good though, cause the class is really small, so you can all sort of joke about and stuff. maybe =/ then i had ENGLISH, which was the funniest thing ever! me and becky and kirsty and vickie and lydia had to do our oral exam on work experience, in a room with mr moors instead of infront of the whole class, which was good, and i think i did really well on it, i think we all did. then mr. moors called in the next group a bit early, so they wouldn't do a runner before he could get them to do their exam, and one of them was this boy called lance. we were just finishing ours off and mr. moors was asking lydia some questions about her work experience and lydia mentioned that some of the old people had died whilst she was there; just then, i looked over at kirsty and vickie because vickie was going "KATIE KATIE" and i saw kirsty pulling this really dopey face, and i thought she was pretending to be the turtle-woman lydia was talking about until vickie goes "IT'S LANCE!" and i looked over at lance-and she looked just like him! and maybe you had to be there but me and vickie just started absolutely killing ourselves laughing, the kind of laughing where you're shaking and crying and trying not to meet each other's eyes, it was that funny. we were in the middle of our oral exam, but we just could not stop laughing. lydia and becky and kirsty all looked a bit confused, as did mr. moors, although he was sort of smiling, and i kept saying "er, sorry" but i couldn't really speak cause i was laughing so much. it probably doesn't sound it, but it was the highlight of my day; it was just so fecking funny!

i went back to s word today (i will still not refer to it as it's proper name as it was shite and does not yet deserve that) and it was quite depressing having to see everyone. not kirsty or matt or marie, just everyone else. i am quite happy being around the people who i like, thank you very much. me and katie talked quite a bit about TEH MOZ and TEH MICK and their fick over MICK JONEZ LUVER but i didn't see kirsty all day really, so i couldn't go up to her and go 'OMGZ MICK JONEZ TEEF LOLZ!!!!1111' in a stupid loud voice.

one sentence for you: A WHILE AGO I GOT AN EMAIL FROM THE MANICS.CO.UK WEBSITE WITH THE DECEMBER TOUR DATES INSIDE. my dad should be buying the tickets now, for the birmingham one. oh yeah, also my last day of freedom until school, but that's taking the backseat now when it comes to important news.
EDIT: my dad is FIXING THE TELEVISION instead of buying the tickets! =0 and he got a bit mad at me when i said "but you should be buying the tickets!", can't think why. also, me and matt are talking and we both just realised that last night was the last time we could stay up until three in the morning in a massive group conversation talking about OMGZ HOMOGAYZ and teh mick and london-how bloody depressing. everyone, this is a pivotal moment in my life.

only three days left-how fecking depressing. i have art coursework, english coursework, french coursework, science coursework, R.E coursework....too much coursework which i promised myself i would do in the first few weeks of the summer holidays-yeah, right! i always say that but have not once gotten around to doing it. becky and daniel and josh and my dad have all gone for a bike ride to the video shop but i couldn't really be bothered =/ so i decided to stay at home. last night me and becky had an 'in-depth' conversation about mick jones and morrissey. yesterday we went shopping but there was nothing we wanted and my brothers were playing up so we went home early and i went on the net and talked to becky and matt and kirsty in one big conversation again, and we talked about london again; hopefully on the thirtieth of october we're all going to go to London, me and becky and marie and matt anbd kirsty, first to look around and go to SEGA WORLD because matt is obsessed with it or something, and then kirsty is going to try and find valentino rossi's house because she loves him or something even though she thinks he can be a "bit of a twat at times." she also says that "loving someone is accepting their flaws, though!" then we're going to see OMGZ MANICS!!11 <33333 hopefully because me and becky just love the manics more than anything. none of us are much looking forward to going back to school so last night we mostly complained about that, and obsessed over the manics/mick jones teeth/sega world/'bam'/james dean bradfield/valentino rossi. add in some father ted-esque 'feckings' and "OMGZ HOMOGAYZ" and hey, there goes my life.

yesterday my dad got really mad at me cause i opened the cornbeef (which was in a tin) i love cornbeef. and i opened it with a can opener but you're meant to open it with a key thingy and it was really hard and i couldnt open it, so i decided to use a can opener after force it opened at last! but the stupid lid wouldn't come off so i squeezed some corn beef out of the tin through a gap between the lid and the tin.
it was all mashed up but it tasted good! then i put it in the fridge. later on, my dad saw the corn beef tin and shouted at me cause "you're not meant to put tin in the FRIDGE! You get all the tin germs!!" i was like "i didn't know!" and then he 'hurt' himself on the tin and of course it was my fault. then he had to soup the corn beef out of the tin and was shouting "it looks like dog food! arrh its dog food!" he moved torwards the bin when i shouted "NO, I LIKE IT I LIKE CORNBEEF, PLEASE!" he didn't thankfully. and i have eaten almost half of the time.

music:white stripes live on radio one - not a fan
me and becky were listening to steve lamacqs reading and leads coverage, and guess what? we only just heard 'where have you been' by Reel Big Fish, that's what! we used to be in love with that song or something, we obsessed over it; i even downloaded it on this computer, which was pretty brave and totally shows how much i liked it, because this computer doesn't like having things downloaded onto it. ahaha, good times! we also went to Holdenby House today, and saw a re-enactment of the Civil War, and it was brilliant, though it was a bit loud =/ my dad is really into the war and anyone could join up to be in the re-enactment (for free, mind) as long as they were interested, so he took loads of leaflets, and i think he's seriously thinking about joining up, which is good because he's been a bit stressed this holiday, so i say anything that stops that = good. there were loads of wasps hanging around us though, which was bad, and then one of the soldiers, this old man, decided to tell us that a girl got badly stung yesterday - very reassuring. tomorrow we are going to town and meeting up with friends to buy tickets for rocky horror and also shoes to wear etc. i'm not a big fan of town, it's a bit rubbish really, but i am quite a big fan of my friends, so i shall go and buy things and be happy because i'm so materialistic and God knows i need some happiness because school starts in seven days and lets just say i'm not that keen on going back at all......also, at lunch, my mother told me that a boy in sixth form at my school died in a car crash on the 24th of august, which is horrible. however, i'm going to end this on a good note by saying that the white stripes has FINALLY finished on radio one! but they've replaced it with some right crap =/

i am slightly interested in mick jones teeth. look at them! and the OMGZ!!11 HOMOGAYZ!!111 thing is a completely different stupid, immature, but fantastic inside joke. (note: this is NOT offensive.) mick jones is love, people, mick jones is love.

today we went to the Black Country Living Museum, which is basically a museum in which you can experience 'victorian life' by going down a 'mine', looking at the houses, taking part in a victorian school, e.t.c. when we went down the mine i bashed my head on a wooden beam because the ceiling was too low, and when we were waiting to go in the victorian school, the man who was playing the teacher started screaming at these girls because they were wearing nailpolish. although it's not real and all that, i didn't really fancy that much, so i spent the next five minutes frantically trying to scratch green nailpolish off of my fingernails with my teeth-only to be told that the school had finished for the day. bloody typical! we also went to the fairground type thing and there was a merry-go-round sort of ride, only it went up and down these bumps. me and becky went on it with my brothers and sat on the wooden motorcycles-BIG MISTAKE. we spent the whole ride clutching at the handlebars and praying that we wouldn't fall off. my dad found this hilarious and decided to yell "YEEEEEHAH!" even though we were on motorbikes, and not horses, which was a bit strange. my brothers chose the easy option and sat in a carriage. me and becky passed by the ride once we had been freed from it and, of course, it looked like the slowest, most childish ride you could ever see. again, bloody typical!

although katie is often right, i probably will not make this loads more funny because i have been feeling a bit off colour (ha) lately, although i would rather not dwell on stupid things that are just full of stupid-ness. today i got in touch with a few people (i know, it's strange) about seing rocky horror in september, and thank god it'll probably all work out. any excuse for wearing a feather boa and tiara out is a good one, in my opinion (not that you need an excuse, of course). today i didn't too much (god, how boring). i sat around the house feeling a bit like shit, and then i went on the net and felt better-oh the miracles of cyberspace and all that. i have also convinced myself that i actually might not be mad, which is always good to know. i looked through trinny and susannahs 'what not to wear' book that my mum has-in one picture, one of them has butterflies on her head, as a hat. and it's not even in the what not to wear bit. i went out to weston favell with my mum and dad, except my dad went in his rented car so he could drop it off and pick up his usual car which was getting paint on to cover the scratch he got on it. i like going to weston favel though, and my mums work, because it's got a nice tesco's, and wh-smith, although i mostly like it because me and my mum get to listen to radio 1, with colin murray and edith bowman. radio 1 is quite alright, although i don't like stever lamacq, as i was telling my mum. he hates the manics, and was being really horrible to pete doherty from the libertines when he was talking to him, which was kind of uncalled for-a little bit of good manners goes a long way, steve. he also just picks songs that he likes, commenting on how fantastic they are, but they're mostly not. i think i have just turned this into a post about how much i dislike steve lamacq. no offence to him though-i'm sure he could be an alright person in real life if he put his mind to it. now, i'm sorry this is so boring; i probably should have just said 'hiii, i'm becky, i love the manics, nicky wire, and mick jones' teeth'. that probably says a bit more about me.

perhaps i'm just sad and old and perhaps i don't have a very good sense of humour, but perhaps there is nothing funnier than my brothers and their friends singing along to that song out of school of rock really loudly, screeching the "kick some arse!" part, whilst jumping around on some mattresses there are assembled on the floor. my Dad says it looks like a "refugee camp", thanks Dad. perhaps there is also nothing funnier than my oldest-younger brother Daniel singing the word "hypnotisized!" in the campest voice ever, and honestly getting upset when my youngest-younger brother Josh turns the song down. er, good times. if you want cheap laughs, you should get a younger brother or two, it's dead good watching them do things like this.
