'Wow, I feel like Hugh Heffner!'

First things first.
I'm with Katie - I am going to FAIL history.
and media.
and...life :(

I'm not too worried about media. It's basically some narrative and audience theories that can get a bit complicated, and A LOT of weird technical jargon =I my issue with media has always been the structure of the essay, rather than the content.

History however, I AM SCREWED.

Gemma phoned me the other day trying to convince me to drop history rather than media.
Fair douse, it's a 'better' subject, I guess. BUT RIGHT NOW I WANT TO STAB IT!

Stalin, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, EVERY SINGLE BRITISH PRESIDENT IN THE WORLD (kind of...)....why is everyones political lives SO COMPLICATED!

I just got back from Wales, which was lovely and beachy and sunny, Tenby had some AMAZING shops, but I barely managed to do ANY revision during the day because of the sun and prospect of TANNING. I barely managed to do any revision during the evening because I was preoccupied. EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
....Watching Britain's got talent, or the apprentice 8) I AM TOO COOL!

[It was so addictive, although I was fully aware of the trashy-ness and brainwash-ing ness..all my media audience theories COMPLETELY ignored! I am just so so so happy Diversity won. If susan or hollie won, I would have DIED! They were both annoying and overrated. I love Stavros too though, they were AMAZING!]

Anyways, other than the seagulls, the huge amount of PDA, and the chavs, and the fact that we stayed right next to a club, which liked playing cheesy 90s tracks til the early hours, Wales was awesome :] had to share a room with Nick though, which was a bit annoying. But he gave me a lot of candy, which isn't :D

We were about 12 milliseconds away from the beach, it was awesome!

I LOVE THE WELSH ACCENT, so so much. I might marry the ugliest, most annoying welshman on the planet, just to hear him speak. -swoon-

There was this awesome guy called Norm, who owned a little convenience store about 5 secs from our place. He was a legend. Kinda looked like Ardal O'Hanlon, which cracked me up.

He was awesome though, he gave us free sweets :] I think either he thought I was about 10 years old, or he was VERY patronising.

Sure, I'm annoyed I missed Cobra Starship gig, Holly's party, Tom's party and 2 shopping outings, but it was stilll pretty cool.

The PDA, gahhh the effing PDA!

I keep saying PDA now, since my sister starting using it. 'Public Displays of Affection'

Now, everyone gets excited about sunshine, and sand, and the sea. But EW.

I've always been a bit weird about people making out IN MY FACE, but this was RIDICULOUS. It was inappropraite in front of young kids though. KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS, Saundersfoot!

Thats another point, the kids on the beach were SO cute!! I think I was verging on passive paedophile XD

I WANT A BABY.

I actually kept saying that to my parents, which on hindsight must have been weird.

They persuaded me to leave it until after uni, at least :D

It was a fab break, playing basketball and tennis like a COMPLETE fool (which is hard if you're playing against UBER competitive people, like my MALE side of the family...)

and tennis BAREFOOT, on BOILING HOT tarmac is not a good idea. Ow ow ow.

My feet are dead. But it was worth it. I could have challenged Nadal to a match :D

Oh. and my brother reckons hes destined to be a PM when hes older.

He has a birthmark on his arm which KINDA looks like a map of GBR.

Who'd have thought? :D


Anyways, now for a little bit of mathematics.


Wales+Sun+Sand+The apprentice = Pretty good.

Wales+Sun+Sand- PDA+The apprentice+Jason Maraz/Daniel Merriweather/Michael Franti/Bob Marley (in mp3 form, not in person form unfortunately) = AMAZING!! (Y)


Good luck with exams everyone, I should probably get back to revision =I


P.S The quote in the title is from James (The Apprentice) HE MUST WIN!

ok.

ok, the link didnt work, but just try copying and pasting :) x

Teenage pregnancy, gone a bit crazy..

Whoa.
Did anyone see on the news about that teenage pregnancy viral campaign?
Basically, this charity called 'Hey Babes' wanted to use SHOCK THERAPY, to try and prevent teenage pregnancy, rather than using the ol' USE A CONDOM thing.

Check it out - I think the link should work!!

This blog is literally just a big rant.

My parents are really annoying me at the moment.
They are barely giving me ANY freedom.
I asked if I could go youth hostelling this summer, which I was really looking forward too. They've been a bit weird since exams have started (I've missed out on about four parties, three gatherings, two cinema-raves and I'm going to miss Cobra Starship and ANOTHER gathering, and a gig, because of them)
I understand that they want me to do well in exams, and not be distracted. Fair enough, I'll thank them when I'm older I guess..and I have plenty of time to go to other parties.
But they don't seem to understand that college is about having fun too.
My sister was a proper whizzkid when she was at college, working in her room for HOURS, and barely ever going to parties. If she did go out it was with her boyfriend. Or work.
Whereas I get distracted by facebook, friends and 4od :(
BUT WHAT THE FACK!
Andrew had made a massive effort trying to arrange it, at a time that everyone could do.
Now I can't go. My mums pretty stubborn so I won't be able to convince her to let me go, unless I maybe threaten to stab myself, or kill ebay. or kill the creator of all those crappy bargain-hunting shows and house-selling shows on BBC.
Basically, I know its sad comparing myself to siblings, but my brother gets SO MUCH freedom, fannying about on his bmx/scooter/feet at the rec, maybe doign DRUGS, i dont know.
But he misses his curfew, EVERY SINGLE DAY. By about 25 mins each time.
He's spoilt rotten, while I do extra chores and don't get any credit.
I'm late home from work ONCE because I decide to meet up with Sabrina and chat for a bit.
Not doing drugs. TALKING.
I barely ever go out anymore coz of work, and revision.
But oh, I'm a girl. Fuck the fact that I am 5 YEARS older than my brother.
I'm going to get raped if I'm out after 6pm. BECAUSE THATS WHAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME IN CHANDLERS FORD. we get loads of stabbings too.
FML.

I hate my life.

See above. :(

SMURF PENIS?

Ok. I'm not just weird.
Has ANYONE seen the episode of 'How I met you mother' (crap show, but I watched it once)
when theres a blue trumpet hanging on the wall, and the guys like 'whats that - a SMURF penis?'

Basically, I was doing media with Ant&Emily today, and Emily was trying to figure out what was in the cupboard. She said 'It's big and blue.' and I said 'I KNOW! SMURF PENIS!'

I think I lost two friends today, because I am retarded. Their silence said it all. :(

I found a new convenience store like, 3 secs from my house called 'Park Road Stores'...GUESS WHAT ROAD ITS ON! The woman in there is SO nice. Nicer than the andersons BASTARDS.

I think I heard a bit of driftwood rehearsal when I walked there though (I've been to Alex's house ONCE, and I now know where he lives. I can stalk him.Groupiee!!)

Sounded pretty good :D

And I spotted this car. But it wasn't just ANY car. It was a car with a TRANSFORMERS LOGO ON IT! I decided I will hunt that guy down, and marry him. Hes TOO cool :P

Oh. I had this real annoying bus driver today. I pressed the 'STOPPING' button, but he literally would not stop. Is he BLIND? DEAF? A RAPIST?

I saw this film once where this guy on a bus kidnapped all his passengers and killed him. Since then, I always preferred trains, because they have to stick to the track, you know?

But this was kind of reliving my nightmares. I missed TWO of my blooody stops, and it wasn't until I literally had to stand about 30cm from the door that he realised I wanted to get off =I

THE ANNOYING BEEPING SOUND? THE FLASHING LIGHT?

ANY SUBTLE HINTS THAT I WANT TO GET OFF THE BUS?

I hate having to do more exercise than I actually HAVE to, especially when its BOILING and I need a ginger beerrr!!

pfft.

and I'm missing dressing up day at work this weekend.

the ONE day I was looking forward too, and I'm going to be in STUPID Wales. gah.

Means I miss the DRINKING SPREE and Cobra Starship, too :(

I saw these baby smokers today.

They weren't people SMOKING BABIES, but they looked about 10, and they were smoking.

IN CHANDLERS FORD!

Just the name 'Chandlers Ford' seems embarrasingly POSH!

Smokers? It annoyed me. They were quite a pretty bunch, and they are now going to DIE SOON.

I'm so against smoking its ridiculous. But I've learnt that the best way to get my opinion on smoking across ISN'T by grabbing the fags and stubbing them out. I learnt that at Lizzies...I wonder if Jamie, Dom and Sabrina STILL hate me =/

Oh. And I've become SO SO SO fed up with trying to arrange things.

Meals, Shopping trips, Cinema trips, even meeting outside ashurst to have a revision rave!!

People ALWAYS let me down at the last minute. Like this Socio meal I was trying to organise...one of them phoned me 10 mins AFTER we were supposed to be going to town to say she didn't feel like it. Its costs too much credit, it uses up too much time.

I HATE ARRANGING THINGS NOW!

SOMEONE ELSE DO IT!!

Its ALWAYS [ most of the time] ME!!



:)

Rubberduckzilla!!

That is actually the best advert ever. I don't actually like drinking Oasis (I've never been much of a ribena/squash person myself. I would, unlike the advert says, prefer water!)

I had a nice day :] bit of revision, bit of a bedroom spring-clean, bit of eastleigh lovin' :D

went to eastleigh -eeek!- with adam today to see star trek. Its SUCH a good movie, I really recommend it! Not as nerdy and complicated as I though it would be!

And Chris Pine! -swooon-

and Simon Pegg! -swoon-

:D eastleigh is remarkable. NO-ONE SMILES! I walked up there (what a fitty I am! Its actually quicker to walk the 40mins than it is to get the bus, the bus that NEVER turns up, is ALWAYS late, and has the stupidest route ever!)

But I was smiling at some random people, and they NEVER smiled back.

I tried young people, old people, couples, dog walkers.

NO-ONE SMILED!

I saw my friend Laura from college though, which was weird. NO-ONE goes to eastleigh at Symonds if they can avoid it! (Except Aicha, who LIVES there!)

I was buying food in Somerfield and heard this conversation between these two old women (I'm such a stalker!) They were having a debate about whether the word 'quiche' was pronounced like 'squish' with a Q, or like 'key-shuh'

ITS 'KEY-SHUH!' not qsquish!

made me laugh though, thought it was pretty blog-worthy XD

and I hate people who don't text back. Its not an issue if I KNOW they don't have any credit, or I say 'Hey hows life' and its not really worth a reply, but when I'm trying to arrange things, it IS really annoying! Or when I need to know something important! gahh!

Anyways, today was nice :]

Bit confusing towards the end....

Kathys back from uni this friday, should be nice :]

shes going to bully me into choosing certain unis, should be nice :]

I have a history workshop 2mz, and media revision with Anty&Emily, should be nice :]

CRAP! I HAVE A HISTORY ESSAY DUE IN FOR 2MZ!!, should be BADD!!

Thats all folks :]


hope everyone is havina fun revision timee! x x x

Monday 18 May 2009

Major shampoo EXPLOSION!

It's official. I'm more than halfway through the exams, and although I shouldn't be putting my feet up JUST yet - it feels AMAZING. But I have my three hardest exams left. Media and History.

-cough- Media IS a real subject, dammit! And IS real hard - whatever you might think!

My socio exam didn't go TOO bad today, it was nice not wearing shoes in the exam, it seemed weird yet cosy :D (I was in Mercers Sports Hall. I think if you wear black soled shoes they will literally THROW you into the electric chair. It's their pride and joy!) :P

The Chief Invigilator looked like Hatrry Enfield. (comedian, Tony's dad in Skins?)

This amused me. And REALLY distracted me too!!

And Mark Watson's look-a-like sat next to me on the bus. I WISH IT WAS THE REAL GUY!




-sigh-


The other day, I understood why Symonds has a stereotype for being posh. Most of the people I know are uber preppy, or VKs, or inbetweeners, but the other day I was in a seminar room with Meg, Charlie and some people I didn't know. I will call this people the Posh Totty. (like in the movie St Trinians? The chavs, the nerds, the emos, the POSH TOTTY! Great film :0 Colin Firrrth) <3>ANYWAYS.


It was like talking to an alien race. This sounds uber bitchy, because they were actually SO SO nice, when they weren't talking about themselves, but it was weird. 5 of them had applied to a job at Hollister. Which is fair enough. I don't like it how people in Hollister/Jack Wills get judged by their looks (so if you get rejected you just feel UGLY, rather than boring or unsuitable) but when I was in New York last summer, it really made a difference having the yummy topless guys at the front of the shop. Although it made me and the whole company annoying shallow.

ANYWAYS. These girls were OBSESSING over Hollister. Everytime their [expensive, designer, jewel encrusted] phones went off they would squeal and go 'HOLLISTER! OMG OMG OMG! Maybe I've got the job! - Dammit, its only [insert name here]'

Then one of the girls got a call from her mum. Because I was in the middle of a convo with her she explained to me that 'training' was cancelled and she had to let her mum know. Fair enough. Swimming training? Maths training? Athletics training?

No. POLO training. Now this nearly made me laugh. I guess I was jealous about her being loaded/spoilt/naturally smart, but I have NEVER met anyone who actually plays polo. I thought it was literally restricted to Princes William and Harry. Oh. How naive I am.

Then they started going on about labels I've never heard of, designers I would never be seen in, shoes I'll never be rich enough to buy (even with my £5.99 an hour at Superdrug!)

Well, I'm happy with faithful New Look, Primark :$ and hand-me-downs :(

Now I know what Bowles and Gintis (Sociologists) meant by 'alienation.'

I am a feeble working class female in a meritocratic, capitalist, patriarchal society.

They are the Upper class, experiencing high culture and not being affected by the recession.

And not having to sell stupidly expensive mascaras, to people who don't want to buy them.


:( Society sucks.

Sunday 17 May 2009

'Look, I have 17 chins!'

Last night I saw some interesting...performances!
And for once, I'm not talking about BGT :D

The Eurovision was SO funny :]
I loved Finland's rapping, and Moldova's...CRAZINESS.
But I didn't think Norway was the best.
He was BEAUTIFUL.
But not the best =I

And GO JADE! 5th!!

:)

I got SO broody at work last night - this guy came in with THE most gorgeous triplets ever! About half a dozen people kept crowding round cooing over them.

But they were SO cute. I want babies! Adam... ?

Plus Torri and Libby came to visit, which was SO niceee :D

and Becky and Tom came in with half a dildo, which was SO un-niceee :D

And I have a new phone :D but I'm not allowed it until after my exams. BUMMER.

But I took a sneaky peek. Its LOVELY :D


and I have a socio exam. Its not LOVELY :D


I can't think of anything to say. I have revision to do. Its going to stress me out. I should probably do it.

Hope everyone is HAPPY :D


especially GFOB! Smile, homeskillet :) x

Thursday 14 May 2009

Oh.

Oh. Plus, the boy next to me in the General Studies exam kept touching himself, in inappropriate ways (not that I was LOOKING..)

I saw him yesterday in town. He looked at me weirdly. :I

'Never put jam in a toaster'

everyone's got to have heard the spongebob F-U-N song.
however much i hate that show and however SCARED i am of spongebob, i wasn't able to avoid the singing of that BLOODY song in tutor. it was mainly charlie, naphen and geoff, if i remember rightly...

F is for Friends who do stuff together.
U is for You and me.
N is for Anywhere and anytime at all.


well i've got my own version of that song :D

(8)

F is for FUCK OFF, EXAMS!!
U is for University? No chance!
N is for NOT REVISING!


Hahah, do you like it?


We've got effing general studies today. People are either COMPLETELY freaking out about it, or they couldn't give a damn XD

Sadly, I am a freaking out person :(

3 hours of fun. Yay.

and i've got english lit/lang exam 2mz. I kinda love english, but I've kinda started SUCKING at it since GCSE.

The coursework was fine, hopefully I've got at least a B (Well, Kate said she thought it was good, I thought it was a bit shit)

but the exams SO boring and SO nothing-y.

Its pretty much the same as GCSE, but the texts in the anthology are SO crap and dull.

Like a bus timetable, or an article about someones trip to Otranto (written in a stab-me-boring kinda way)

and I have issues with the basic things in english. I mean, I can spell...it's like the only thing in the world i CAN do! Its paragraphs I never do.

Apparently if I don't paragraph right (I kinda love MASSIVE paragraphs that take up one pagee..) I will fail. at the exam AND at life =/

and I do circles instead of dots over my eyes.

Media teacher says its 'quirky'

Sociology teacher says its 'weird but cute'

English teacher HATES ME DOING IT!

Apparently some examiners are proper touchy about writing style.

My GCSE teacher said the same thing, and i still managed to get an A and an A*

I'm still just dead worried. Its a habit I can't erase :(


After monday though, my next exam isn't for two weeks. So I can CHILLL!!

Anyways. I need to NOT bore everyone about exams =/

i saw good ol' college dropout tom again today :D
well, first time in 2009 XD
I asked him what he was doing with his life.
He said cannabis.

Good for him, if thats what he wants to be 'doing' in 20 years.

I'm off to get some qualifications!

-crosses fingers-


Its sad that libbys left work. I was only just starting to get to know her. She was on the bus before me after work last weekend. I didn't know whether to hug her, cry (bit OTT!) or...i dunno.

I ended up saying 'FACEBOOK!' as she got on the bus..

And felt like a fool :(

“I like my coffee like I like my women. In a plastic cup.”

DUDE! I just realised why everytime I write a blog it comes out inGREEN!
I was writing it in 'Edit HTML' rather than 'Compose' I am such a plank.

I had an interesting convo with Superdrug James last night, which kind of shocked me really. I guess I’m not really out of the primary school phase =/


Basically, James is a good relationship-advice guy, so I used to ask him about what to do about certain guys (I told him some stuff about Niall, Zach and Adam, which is weird considering I don’t talk to him much outside work!). I decided I wanted to set him up with one of my mates. His lovelife is apparently reasonably uneventful, after [I can’t say what] happened with his last girlfriend.

Then he started going on about one-night stands. In my eyes, James is like my brother. Or my cousin. BOTH OF WHOM ARE 12.

So this creeped me out.

Apparently he’s going to Portugal with some mates this summer, and doesn’t want to be tied down in a relationship. His last relationship lasted 13 months, so I can understand why. But then he said he just wanted to talk to girls, have a drink with them, and maybe sleep with them.

WTF!!

I asked him whether he was going to walk into a bar with the intent of spending that night with a girl. Sharing a bed. Sharing PJs. He said yes.

WTF!!

What is up with guys? What is going on with the world? Why?

Before college, I had met a few guys who think with their dicks, but now at college it seems like EVERYONE does. (All the guys, I mean.)

Guys = Sex, Football, Porn, Girls.

What happened to pokemon cards, Barbies and Harry Potter?

I don't like to generalize, because I know a bunch of guys who aren't that bad, but the moral of the story is...

Men are whores.

DRESS UP AS A HERO TOMORROW!

I generally fail at life.

Sorry I haven’t blogged for a while.
1. I’ve had a lot of revision to do.
2. I’ve had a lot to think about/sort out/put right.
3. I haven’t been BOTHERED! Haha :D

Life is nice at the mo :)

Except exams. But My English class AND my history class are having a little rave tomorrow, because it’s the last day before exams/A2! Eek!

And we played ‘heads down thumbs up’ in sociology today,

RASHMI IS LEAVING SYMONDS!

RASHMI IS LEAVING SYMONDS FOR ITCHEN COLLEGE!

ITCHEN COLLEGE FOR PIKES!!!

(except tezz, who is lovely!)

She’s like my favourite teacher. She broke my heart – I DON’T WANT TO DO SOCIOLOGY ANYMORE! Haha.


Things I’ve learnt recently:

A Youth Hostel and A Brothel are not the same things
Nick Clegg is actually the leader of the Lib Dems, not the guy who made Wallace and Gromit.
Raymond Blanc/Matt le Blanc. One is french, one is American. BUT ‘BLANC’ IS FRENCH FOR WHITE! Also I learnt that Raymond Blanc is lovely ^__^
7radio is the most unpopular thing since the Nazi’s (5 VIEWERS?!)
Apple bottom jeans, boots with the BIRD. That’s not the lyrics for ‘Low’ by Flo Rida (which is unlike what Gemma thought. I love her. She’s silly)
Jess calls tumbleweed ‘BALL OF WIRE!’ funniest thing in the world
Swine flu, we are all going to die. (me and winter were being cynical about it at work, which means that karma will attack us and actually kill US first!)
I PWN at super mario rampage

Text processing is a homosexual. It’s embarrassing. I had a shit lunch. I failed BOTH exams, which is impossible, and I don’t know whether to resit them. Ross was weirdly happy about me failing (I guess it was nice he wasn’t the only one, haha!)

I generally fail at life.

P.S I'm buying loads of cakes, cadburys snaps and brownies for 2mz!
P.P.S I'm dressing up as Superwoman 2mz :D its going to be embarrasing, yet fun :D
