Hooray !!!

Well so far this week it's been a week of hoorays !!

The Internet

For those who know me, I am totally addicted to the Internet. There isn't a day when I'm not on it for some reason or another. However Tuesday the 22nd of April turned out to a dark day: the day the internet died.

Switched the computer on, normal everyday thing, but there it was staring back at me, a little bubble in the bottom right hand corner:

Wireless connection cannot be found

With that menacing little bubble I came to the conclusion that it must be my fault and after several hours of fiddling with the computer, I gave up and rang BT!

Oh the joys of BT !! I really enjoyed our conversation. To begin with a woman with a really strong Indian accent answered the phone - great start - then she began to say things like:

Check the Internet is plugged in, check your computer is turned on!

What kind of retard is gonna have their computer switched off !!! Duh !!

Anyway, after that wonderful conversation, we came to the conclusion that BT itself was to blame and I switched the computer off. I was not amused.

Then a whole 7 days later, the Internet comes back and thus here I am, pleasing my few loyal readers ^^

At The Doctors

For the best part of 4 years I have had a dodgy throat of some degree. Every time I go to the doctors there's nothing wrong with me. In fact last time I went complaining about my throat, I came back with something to unblock my nose! and the doctors we have, I swear the one was sitting on a cushion and the other had a face like a slapped ass !!

However, today there was a minor victory. After waiting the best part of 20 minutes for my appointment, good old NHS!, I got in and spoke to a lady that looked frighteningly similar to Cruella de'ville. She actually acknowleged that there was a problem and, you'll never guess, she actually prescribed me something.

Apparently I have an overactive mucus gland which is screwing my throat, nose and ears up ( and I thought my ears were ok !!) So she's put me on this spray stuff and if that doesn't work, ENT clinic here I come !!

And then my final hooray!: I have an interview for St David's.

After waiting an absolute age for an interview, I recived a letter on Saturday saying that I have one on Wednesday. Not much notice admitedly, but at least I know when I'm going. I'm a little nervous but will try and impress as much as I can without seeming like: a) an ass licker, or b) a little show-off-know-it-all- super-brat.

Well I can only be myself ^^

Yes, I know, I rock !!

Elliot Minor were ace !!!!

Elliot Minor - I saw them !!

For my birthday my friend Blake decided to buy us tickets to see Elliot Minor at Cardiff Uni. After waiting a long time for tickets, then realising that you had to show them an email and claim them there, Friday 11th April finally arrived !!!

At 7pm we arrived at the venue, the Solus Nightclub, only to realise that there was a huge que outside! No I mean huge, it was right down the street. So we joined the end and slowly but surely we got closer to getting in!

Then as we approached the doors, we realised that we were in the wrong line. We had ordered our tickets online and didn't actually have them we had to get them there. So we casually ducked under the barrier and carried on like nothing had happened!!

Furthest Drive Home

By the time we actually got in there the first warm up band was already on, Furthest Drive Home. So we immediatly joined in at the side. No long after we got there, we were joined by Leanne, Tom, Rosie and Jade.

We had a perfect view of the bassist from where we were and I couldn't help but realise how much he looked like a friend of mine, another Tom !!

Here is a photo comparing the two:

Well it did from where I was standing !!



The Higher

Next an American band, The Higher came on. Oooo !! American accents annoy me !! "How y'all doing?" Do you mean to sound like a redneck or does it just come naturally!! Anyway all in all the sang pretty well. They sang a song about ice cream !! For me that's a winner XD

Then there was a 30 minute break, in which we went outside and attacked the bands and made them have their photos taken !! Oh ! and Tom got his shoe signed !! Then after having a group drool over the various singers we decided to go back in before Elliot Minor started.

We went, we attacked and we got a photo with the band XD

As we went through the doors, I couldn't help but notice the size of the amps !! It was HUGE !

Anyway, we regrouped over the opposite side ready for the main event. Woop !!! They finally came on and the show got on the road !!

They were ace !! The crowd was quite slow to start but when it did !! We were up and bopping like the best of them!!

Yeah, that chinese one !!

We were positioned in plain sight of the chinese one. Yeah, I'm no good with names, never have been!! We were watching him for most of it. In all fairness to them they are really good live! Some bands are good when recorded but live they suck, but the chinese one and the main singer, wow I am really bad with names !!, we both really good, and the main one said he had a throat infection !! I would never have guessed !

So after a good night of hardcore raving - XD - we made our way out, unfortunatly into the pouring rain but hey it didn't matter. Our ears were ringing and in my book that's the sign of a good concert !!

Mix and Match

For the last few weeks things have been, to put it frank, boring. Nothing much has happened and thus no blogs !

However, as I know there are a few loyal readers of there... *cough* Tom *cough* I will write something to keep them happy ^^

As no one event has been worth of a blog entry this will be a mix and match of what's happened over the last week or two...

My Birthday

In fact it was that very cake !!

Well the 4th of March was my 16th birthday. Didn't do much as I'm not the partying type. So went into school like any other day, no one seemed to remember it was my birthday!

To be honest I expected it. The vast majority of my "friends" are shit! I have very few decent friends.

So I decided to play a little game with myself: let's see how long it is before someone notices. Me and Daniel walk to school, nope he has no idea.

The I stood waiting outside my form class when I actually told someone, I told Daniel Caddy. Who in turn, as we were going up to welsh, spoke to Ben, who said something like: So! Doesn't bother me. I don't care whose birthday it is. - and there's me standing right behind him.

It doesn't really bother me. I went out with my parents and had a lovely meal at Casa Paco, highly recommended gorgeous food, and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

The Murder Mystery


Well, probably the only drama thing I'm going to do this year, and probably the last in the school!

Oh how I missed doing things like this. I love drama to bits, but because of certain things *cough*GCSEs*cough* it had to be put on hold. However, I have done the Murder Mystery since it began all the way back in year 8.

Anyway, this year it was "Murder on the Orient Express". This year I played the part of the slightly snobbish Sir Patrick Lyndon, a retired lawyer, who obviously had an immense amount of money as he had done the Orient Express 6 times!! and at £4,000 a trip!!!

Going round the tables was quite good this year. No one particularly aggressive except the psychology table. Argh!! The Psycho Table always tries to psycho-analyse you as soon as you sit down! They kept on asking me about arsenic and what the hell do I know about arsenic !!

However, one thing took us all by surprise. During the interval we were all gathered in the room waiting and gossiping about who we thought was the murderer, which I got wrong as usual!! Then we heard two massive gun shots from outside. I immediately began to count everyone to see who had gotten shot. We counted them all and it became apparent that no one was missing. Oh heck! Was it a real murder ??

It's half past nine, we're all tired so our imagination gets the best of us. I quietly began to formulate my exit plan but then Mrs Ellis came in:

Blake, you've just been shot sweety, you can get undressed if you want!

She puts it so nicely !! Anyway we went back in finished the game and discovered that Blake and Ellis had been the murderers, proving my theory that the author had done it totally wrong, and anyway he spent the whole night bonking Mrs. Scarlet!!

Anyway that will do for now. I will leave you with this final comment from Blake after the murder mystery:

Well I must be a whore! According to the tables, I'm pregnant by you, the author and the groom, I've given a blow job to the waiter and found the time to give a lap dance to the butler!

Blake's Party

This is what Saturday night was all about: alcohol. I have never seen so much of it and to be honest it scared me.

Saturday night was Blake's birthday party. So I was going and sleeping over. Innocently enough I thought it would be a nice night, you know typical dancing, having a natter that kind of stuff. However that was not to be.



I arrived and the house was as any other party. A couple of people there, I arrived early-ish, and some loud music - fair enough ! Then more people began to come and the dancing began with an couple of us having a chat. Still innocent enough. At this point I was quite enjoying myself, if it had carried on like that then it would have been fun.

However, two boys came in through the living room with big packs of WKD's in the arms. In fact one had so many that he dropped one or two on the floor, throwing glass across the kitchen floor in a house where wearing shoes inside is a punishable offence.

Ok, the appearance of alcohol initially didn't dismay me as the quantity they had brought meant that everyone might get one bottle each, plus they're mainly fruit juice anyway. Anyway they were distributed and everyone, including myself, had a drink.

Now things started to turn into a drunken stupor very quickly. His parents put out some nibbles and then they left the house to Blake. Bad move, from there a supply of beer and other alcoholic drinks appeared and soon there was more than enough beer to go around. Then when I saw one boy mixing drinks and heard another say that he had been on the Pernod before he had come... well...

It was frightening how quickly they got drunk. In fact it was so frightening I wanted to leave. When I go to a party, I want to have fun and to be fair alcohol is totally unnecessary. Fair enough have one or two but where's the good time in getting drunk?

Anyway, I got my things, rang for a lift and left. However before I did I notice Blake was sprawled out in the middle of the living room. Also as I walked out the door, I saw another boy shoot out the side door and throw up in the garden. I can't get this image out of my head. I feel sick just to think about it.

After these wonderful events plus threats that the police had been called, with the news that Leanne was going to throw herself in front of a car or something, I was so glad to see my mother's car come up the road. I ran and got in and for the first time since I got there I could relax.

An Outing in Cardiff !!

Well what a day I have had !!

A day full of bitching, shopping and watching with Lyndsey in Cardiff!!

For a start it was warm !! I'm not used to the weather being nice I was half expecting it to rain. However it didn't and I was left lugging round a heavy coat all day !!

Bloody Coat !!

That was the only bad part. We've said some really strange but histerically funny things. For example:

A man walked past in a "lilac" hoddy and imediatly we turned to each other and said "Gay!" It was very funny !!!

Get a guy to wear that and tell me he's not gay !!

Then there was the band we saw randomly. They were playing right in the middle of Queen Street. In all fairness they were quite good and we must have stopped two or three times to watch them. Then there was the "are we to chicken to go and pick up a flyer" conversation but eventually we concered our fears an obtained the flyer.

After that we then continued to accuire our food from Boots as a protest !! - our conversation about how McDonalds are single handedly destroying the world and causing Global Warming!

McDonalds will single handedly destroy the Western World !!

Then to make our way out to Albany Road - one of the rougher areas of Cardiff !! - we had to cross a main road via traffic lights. Now as we waited the bus we were after came up and parked at the stop across the road. Lyndsey began to look anxious and started screaming "Change faster !!" Sadly it didn't work and we watched helplessly as the bus drove away without us in it!! From this we are now beginning the "Ban Traffic Lights" Campaign - so they may have saved a few lives but millions have missed their busses because of them !!

Damn them !!

Then after acquiring so "slutty" clothes from Primark !! Yes, believe it or not I have bought clothes from Primark. We went back to watch the band again, who were in fact called The LowLights - www.thelowlights.co.uk . Soon they were finished and Lynds, being Lynds, wanted a photograph with the band, so we sat down near them and watched as two girls came over and began to talk to them. Soon after Lynds started fantasising about knocking these two girls out and going up and having her photo with the band. Eventually she did have her photo with the band greeting them with a high pitched "HI!!" The band looked very freaked out that she wanted a photo but shes got one !!

Hello I'm Lyndsey and I'll be your stalker for today

All in all the day was great ! We should have more days like that and if that bands playing again all the better !!

Sono Depressato !

Yeah, I've not gone emo but things have gotten a bit depressing lately !!

Italian - I used to really enjoy it but now it's starting to get annoying. Every lesson she makes a jab at Daniel telling him to bring in a cake. At first it was funny then it just became annoying and now I want to grab her by the throat smash her head against the table and shout Fuck off!!!!.

Ahh that makes me feel better !!

Then there's the fact that I'm loosing my toutch. In italian I used to be the undisputed knower of all vocabulary we had covered but after my defeat at the hands of the "others" I don't feel as confident any more!!

Fuck off italy !!

Then there's Valentines Day. I gave up on love a long time ago but all of a sudden I felt a spark and thought maybe I should give it one last try. So we went out, had a coffee got to know each other and found that there was an imense amount we had in common. I was even considering sending a valentines card. However that was all thrown into array by one unprovoked comment on msn:

i like u as a great mate ell night night xxxxx

Just a mate. Oh dear once again I give up !! I think it is quite obvious that I am never meant to be loved. I have decided to wrap myself up in my acedemia and not bother with relationships ever again!

The Debate ....

Last night I took part in a debate in front of the Rotary Club officials ! It was quite scary seeing that the majority of your audience is over 65! You start thinking "well if I say this will they know what I'm on about!?" However we went on with our subject, well worthy of debate and in my own words:

"This house proposes that reality TV is so mind numbingly boring and the people that go on these shows are such desperate fools. Therefore they must be banned from the airwaves altogether!"


I argued my case well, debating things like: they are all the same, there's always a blonde bimbo and a guy who wants to shag anything that moves (I heard one lady whisper to her neighbour "Can he say that?" when I made that comment !) and many other points including that Jade Goody is a racist slag and the people who go on it end up more famous not for the good they've done but for what they did in the jacuzzi!

I can't say "kebab" without laughing anymore !!

The three of us all put on a good show and many people were complimenting us afterwards saying how informative and how funny it was. In secret we were quite confident that we were going to win ! So the judges come back and give the standard "everyone's a winner" speech and then announce that Bro Morgannwg are the winners !!

Well done! Well done! .... bitch!

Robbed, that's what we were! We were robbed ! Their's was pretty boring plus they were reading from cards - we wern't ! - overall I think they won because of the snob value ! So they won, I had my bitch fit and then got over it !!

So all in all the night was a good experience and I can put it on my college application - on the debate team, looks good for trying to get on law (obviously we don't tell them that it only lasted a week !!)

In addition Daniel said some things that really did make me laugh!! :

Daniel: I know why we lost !!
Elliot: Why did we loose then ?
Daniel:You see the welshie over there with black hair?
Elliot: Yes?
Daniel: She's the reason why we lost!
Elliot: And how's that then ?
Daniel: Well from looking at her it's quite obvious... she slept with the judge!!!

It's Party Time !!!

Well the birthday season has started again. Last year I was amazed by how many birthday parties I was invited to !! So far this has been the first one but hey it's only January !!

One and two and oh fuck it !

Sadly we can't all dance like this guy but we do try ! By Joe do we try ! It was soooo hot and that proves we were dancing !!

To begin with things were quite awkward... the "normal" group huddeled in one corner and the ground of chavs in the other ! However as the night progressed things began to melt and soon enough there was clarity between dancers, eaters and chavs in the corner !!

Didn't dance that much, although it was more than I usually do !! Ohh !! Has anyone ever played "Nelly the Elephant" at a party before ? Me neither ! ...... It hurts!!! You have a hand grabbing on to someones in front and a hand between your legs grasping someone elses behind !! Then the string of people doing this have to walk round !! Oh it really hurts !!

A smack in the balls in the best way to describe the pain!!

Isn't it strange when things happen at occasions like this..... ummm how to explain it......

I was watching everone else dancing and there was a girl I couldn't take me eyes off !! The worst thing was she was the one I came with !!! Oh and the slow songs !! Everyone is dancing with their girlfriends and I'm there along staring, wanting someone to dance with. Well it's typical for me! There are 3 girls I like at the moment... one I have know almost forever and has a boyfriend. The second has a boyfriend as well !! And the third, well she's just out of my league !!

Ah well !!

Back to happy land !! My friend Ben, yes the infamous Britney Spears worshipper, (again and again I have questioned his sexuality and again and again he says that he is "straight")

Anyway, for the last fortnight he has been singing "Gimmie More" and "Pieces of me" in school and it was beginning to drive me mad !! So when it came on at the disco, well obviously he went nuts over it. I, brain dead I must have been, joined in and went insane but even more scarily I knew the words and was mouthing along. It was frightening !!


Anyway..... all in all the night was well enjoyed by all and the conversation in the car on the way home topped it off nicely !!

Emily's Dad: So was there any alcohol at this party then ?
Emily: No her mum's quite strict on that, I was thinking about spiking the punch though!
Me: I had some vodka out and funny enough was thinking about bringing it with me !
Chelsea: It's funny when you get drunk Em, you start taking your clothes off !!
Me: Hello !?!

Yes the night ended perfectly ^^

Hello Again!!

This picture sums up perfectly how my week has been. I have had so much work to do. So before I go to bed I think I will share this load with you.

To start sleep !! After a week and a half back at school it is getting quite obvious that I can't function on 6 hours sleep a day. In fact I came home today, went up to put the computer on and laid on the bed while it was loading... next thing I know it's 7pm and I'd been asleep for the last 3 hours!!

Homework - Well it's not to bad it's just my fault for leaving it to the last minute. I have an English essay due in for Friday and I have to memorise a speech for Italian for tomorrow. However for English I have a plan ! I'm going to give the "Oh how stupid of me I forgot to bring it in" routine and do it over the weekend !! For Italian well I'll just have to try and blag it !

Outside school stuff - I got roped onto the debate team ¬_¬' They haven't really though this through we have to prepare our argument by next Tuesday! At least I can argue passionately that reality TV is crap !!


Oh dear!! Will try and get myself above water again. It doesn't seem like much but it's surprising how busy I am !!

Yep...School Is Back !!

Well, it's almost been a whole week back a school. It seems like we were never off for two weeks now ! Oh today was thrilling as always, had a few more results back and enjoyed a whole hour of physics.

Physics wasn't as bad as normal.... for a start I don't think he was on the verge of a mental breakdown today. For the record, my science class is the (in)famous group that made Mr Peacock cry ! However, even when we're not that bad he usually looks like he's about to break down and jump out the window !! I remember what my mother said after speaking to him as parents evening:

"Oh that Mr Peacock guy! There's something wrong with him!" - I agree !!


Well now for the good news !!

New results:

Tech: paper 1 35/35 - paper 2 61/100 - neh t'is alright I suppose
Welsh - 96%
English lang - A

Right I think welsh and english merit a celebration so I shall express it in my own unique way...

Yes my little freaky rock guy is back again but he shows my feeling of self satisfaction perfectly !!

Now, in relation to the Café's "Special of the day" it is really quite a rude story. We were having a rather phalic conversation about pencils and what you could do with them and this is what we came up with:

Ben: You could stick it up your bum !
Daniel: Oh imagine what it would be like if it was one of those giant ones !! Oww !! And what about if you sharpened it ?!?
Blake: You sharpen it while it's up there, you know twist it round and....

That last sentance pushed the topic too far and conversation just died ! So from then on any references to pencils, or in fact any other stationary, came back to the kinky pencil conversation!

Hold still my pretty ! This won't hurt...much !!

Now on a serious note, we did have a conversation about Mrs. Evans. Daniel brought a cake in for a party we had and ever since almost every lesson she makes a comment about him bringing in another one. Ok, in the beginning it was funny but now almost 6 months later the jokes a bit old.

One bad point is, as I study german and italian in school and french outside and told her I want to do the french exam, she's starting to think of me as the "cocky one". I'm sorry if I'm good at languages and I want to have a go !! I'm not saying I'm going to beat your french boys but I would rather have a go at the french and see what grade I get then not have a go and never know. However, I asked her to assess my french and she said "Ok, right do some exams for me and I'll compare you to Tom". I am pretty sure that Tom is probably the most talented french speaker in the year so...... oh dear I can only try my best !!

One thing that got me today, for the first time I said the right word in the wrong language ! Our german teacher asked me for "shirt" and my imediate response was "chemise"!!! Umm try "Hemd" !!

Oh dear !! All this is stressing me out so I have decided to turn to my favourite music to calm me down as a healthier alternative to getting out a selection box and eating it's entire contents in 10 minutes. On that thought I will end this post as hope you will all calm down as you enjoy a little bit of "my" music.

Anna Netrebko

Enjoy!!!

That's Better !!!

After the jittery start yesterday things have begun to look up. For one thing I didn't have maths today which was nice !!

One thing that did annoy me was the laziness of our welsh teacher! When you think about it other departments have way more papers to mark than him and yet he still hasn't done them. I suppose it's like my tech teacher who "forgot" them and didn't take them home to mark over the holidays.

It's all the booze after the staff Christmas party I recon!!

But that aside it has been a much better day, apart from the events at break time...

We were talking in the atrium, as per usual, and, as usual, nature calls and I walk behind the art block across to the toilets. However as I enter into the "Gay Zone" one of them starts running over threatening to make me "one of them" and spray a pink streak in my hair, so naturally I began to run. Ah ! Not that simple. You see there was a very cunningly place banana skin on the floor. My foot made contact with that and.... Oomph ! I went flying. The result: I now have no skin on my knees !!It's bloody pathetic !! It's something that should be confined to cartoons !! How could I slip on a banana peel !! Of all the things in the world !! What a cliche !!

Anyway they didn't get a streak in my hair so that was one good thing !!

Now there were a few good test results today !!! And in theory they make up for the crap maths mark yesterday ^^ Oh yesterday I got really upset about it for some reason. I suppose I'm used to being really good at everything so to be shot down... that far down was a bit of a shock and disappointment. When I came home I was so depressed I ate ..um..... a lot.... of chocolate !!

Somebody help me I'm going to be sick!!

Right, back to good results !! In summary I was quite chuffed as I reasserted myself as one of the top brains again !! In summary my results so far have been:

History - 79%
Tech Core Paper - 100%
Maths - 59% Non calc/53% Calc - theoretically it should be easier with a calculator !?!
German - reading 40/40, writing 116/120, listening 39/40, speaking 38/40
RS - 85%
English Lit. - A grade

So apart from maths that's pretty good ^^

In conclusion today was much better than yesterday!!

The ego is back and bigger than ever !!!

School: The Mock Exams Strike Back!!!

As for many pupils throughout the country today was my first day back in school.... and it was the day that wasn't !!

For starters there was the wonders of double ICT, Tech, Maths and a final Tech lesson to complete a wonderful day !

Before I even got to school I realised it wasn't going to be a good day: I got out of bed and it was cold !! You know how it is when you're all cosy in bed and then the alarm clock goes off... I was not amused. However I was quite proud of myself as I only pressed the snooze button 3 times.

I know that feeling all to well

After throwing myself out of bed into the freezing cold and getting myself ready for school I then threw myself into the bloody freezing (!!!) wonders of the outside world.

Then school: Everything was fine until 3rd lesson...

Maths - the long awaited mocks result .... I probably would have been happier not knowing. For me 56% is quite bad !! I was totally demoralised! I felt quite confident that I was going to do well at maths, sorting everything out in the revision sessions etc, but with my result like that...

WOMPH !!! Everything comes crashing down around you ! It's like the class screaming "You suck!" continually !!



But one has to face it that you can't be good at everything all the time. So after this little "hiccup" (!!) we now know that I have to work on maths !!

The one thing I am a bit worried about is the fact that I need a predicted GCSE grade from her soon. So.... if I take her in a box of chocolates or bring her in a few bottles of wine and ger her drunk or accidentally leave a brown paper bag on her desk then I might get a decent grade!!


Now things did begin to pick up last lesson. After completing all the work in our tech class I spent the majority of the lesson talking to people and watching the humourous events that followed the pressing of the button !!

Rhys, the "button pusher" - OOOOOOOMMM !!! - pressed the water spray button on the PCB machine and slowly the water began to rise... after panicing and pressing the button again the water level began to reach the top and instead of overflowing water began to pour out the bottom. Oh the look of his face, the "oh shit" look was priceless!!

Well that just says it all!
