Blog of Survivalness

Hey people :)

This weekend has been a huge relief, considering the previous week has been Hell-on-high-water... so, without further ado, here's yet another account of a weekend I've actually spent having fun!!! Well, part of it... it also involves struggles, hence the name, "Survivalness".

Saturday, what an awesome day. T'was Ellie Mole's bonfire party (and by "party", i actually mean a midnighter that didn't have all of its guests crawling around the floor drunk and singing 'Oh Danny Boy'). And, sure, there were people that rock, such as Jez, and Sam, and Ellie (obviously) BUT BUT BUT there were two people there who I had seen but never actually met!

...Ladies and gentlemen, the King and Queen!

(If you've seen the play "Samuel Neeps and the Case of the Missing Cheese" at the Angles Theatre in late June - I believe I made a blog mentioning it - they played the legendary King and Queen, who the King knocked up several others bar the Queen... yeah, you probably had to have been there... but it was rather legendary, TRUST ME.)

Brandon, Debz, you rock.

(oh look at me, Mr. Popular-all-of-a-sudden, nyah nyah nyah, I go outside... XD)

The highlight for me was being in a room alone with them both (don't worry, no bad things happened between us. Except...) Well, Brandon took my phone, wrote a text, of which I quote, "i want your body x", and sent it to Ali Burgess! The best bit of that, was that when I was sending a text saying "omg sory" or whatever, he'd actually replied first saying "i want yours too! x".

Aaaah, Ali. Good sport :) But if there's a rumour going around school tomorrow saying that I tried to chat up Ali, I give you my full word that IT'S A LIE :>

The bonfire was pretty damn good too. We even had a Guy Fawkes! Bet not many of you can say that. Oh, how upper class I'm becoming!

And, after a fight between Ellie and Debz about who gives better hugs, we left.

(If you're wandering who won, it was pretty even, actually :> though Debz [named Debz because she's actually called "Debbie" or something, but she hates it when people misspell it.] gave firmer hugs, she kept saying how I was lanky and not very warm. Made me feel sad... And, firmer isn't necessarily better all the time :P ok, I'm just trying to suck up to Ellie now because I know if she reads this, then she'll kill me if I say otherwise :P)


Today, at last.

"And on the Sabbath day, the Lord said that we should all return from Tesco's by 4pm, and endure grey skies and heavy rainfall whilst doing so."

Sorry, Lord, but that was impossible, as there were REHEARSALS!!!!! And BOY are they getting cool now :>

It's quite comforting that I actually do know the first half of the play now. I'm rather amazed, actually. Who would've thought whispering the word "sex" could be so fun... then again, who would've thought the play would have so many innuendo-sounding lines :>

I loved how she actually seemed to fill a notebook with criticisms of what she saw when we tried to do a speed-run of the first half, that happened to be over an hour. One page, I can actually remember.

"Act 2 Scene 1: React! Overall: CRAP!!!"

Aaaah, so critical...


One thing I'm actually finding sucky at the moment is schoolwork, as I've actually handed in something half-baked to Mr Wiles (which is a similar experience to, as Jack so put it, "like punching your best friend in the face - you really feel guilty afterwards") - and it wasn't intentionally half-baked, might I add, but it was a shitty week. Sure, you're probably rolling your eyes right now, but it's true.

On top of THAT, chemistry's turning into a really difficult subject now that it involves thinking...

Oh well, guess the sixth form IS all about survival after all.


Love you all, really, I do.
