Busy but no more interesting

Busy Busy Busy Busy

why is it that if you say a word enough sooner or later it just sounds like/means honk?

I had a really good day today, and in case you hadn't guessed it was also busy, but nothing of particular interest actually happened. aside from i got my watch sorted, and i now have this awesomely awesome green leather strap for my watch. I LOVE IT. watch watch watch. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE GIFT OF TIME!!

But yeah, nowt much has happened, so i've got nowt much to say. tomorrow night i'm staying at Vic and John's which i'm REALLY looking forward to, i've been having such an amazing time with Eli, i try and see him everyday just to soak up as much of him as i can before i go back, and we've invented about a bajillion new games, including the glasses game and the bumblebee game which are exhausting but brilliant fun =] he talks so much now it's unreal, and he always says really random things but at exactly the right time- he is quite the genius

On Bank holiday monday we're all going down the common to play footie, and rounders and play 'The Crossbar challenge' (the only time i've ever actually hit the cross bar since we started playing that game was the first time i ever played it- 5 years ago. it's a good record, i'm proud of it). By all i do literally mean every member of the George/Crowfoot family that reside in Suffolk- Me, Pandy, Kage, Fozz, Eli, Vic, John and then you've got Jack and Adam (who practically live at ours anyway) to take into account- it's gonna be awesome. i wanna buy one of those rounders kits you can get and then play loads on the huge field behind Parkwood- i would instigate some kind of Marley Vs Willows Vs Lyppeat playoff, if i wasn't so sure that blood would eventually be shed and apartheid's would commence. But yeah, it's a bank holiday tradition to go play some shizzle down at the common so yayness to that

Hopefully tomorrow during the day i should be helping my mum out on a school trip to Minsmere's RSPB Bird Reserve. we have membership anyway, and my mum works with the kids at Sir John Leman who have behavioural/learning difficulties so i figured i could lend a hand, what with Head Girl, Senior Prefect and Library Project notched up on my academic belt. I didn't for that sentence to sound so smug.i'm not gonna change it though- it's deservedly smug =] but yeah, if that works out then that should be good

i've been feeling a bit down today, though i think it has more to do with being tired than anything. but i'm starting to freak out a little bit about the exams, and i haven't actually done any revision yet, or half the stuff i had hoped to. but i' also bummed out about going back because
-i don't wanna leave my family. never saw that one coming, did ya(?)
-i don't wanna do exams
-i don't wanna have to move out
-i don't wanna have to un-decorate my room (it's so perfect!!can't i just...i dunno, take it with me??!!)
-i don't wanna have to say bye to everyone for three whole months!!i know i'll see everyone again, but even then when we go back we're in actual houses, that aren't close to each other!!ARGH!!

SO YEAH.
Plus i'm a bit worried about stuff. you guys know what stuff i'm chatting aboot.

right, i'm off to go marvel at my new watch

Does anyone else remember that quote from the rugrats (awesome AWESOME show) when Tommy is being weaned from milk bottles to the tippy cup, and he has that nightmare where the cup is huge and is going "DRIINK MEEEE!! DRRRRRRIIIIINKK MEEEEEE!!!!"?

Or is that just me, Kage and Fozz?

We did bloody love that show.

The Return Of The Quote Book

After learning that I’d found the legend that is the ‘Quote Book’*, many, many people (and by that i mean like 4) asked to hear some of the classics. So here they are;

*For the people who I didn’t go to Leman with, and the people I met at University (Yeah! I met people! SHUUDUP!!) here is an explanation of the ‘Quote Book’. It started on 10/10/06, and was the original idea of both me and Beth Limmer, who had previously owned and then lost the first EVER ‘Quote Book’. The ‘Quote Book’ is a book I used to carry round with me everywhere, to log all of the silly, stupid and funny things the people around me said. If you wanna start your own one go for it- it’s really worth it. It has been hilarious to read through stuff you wrote down over 3 years ago.

NOSTALGIA TRIP FTW!!!

Stuffed Animals are not Law Abiding Citizens

Imagine our surprise yesterday when we all glanced out of our front window, and saw this in the driveway of our neighbour, Peter-from-across-the-road;

Let's just get a closer look, shall we?

Yep, your eyes aren't deceiving you - That is indeed a joyriding stuffed Panther and Teddy Bear.
They're like the Bonnie&Clyde of the stuffed animal world.

This is what you get if your neighbour across the road helps out the Lions Club, who do a lot for charity; God Bless you, Peter-from-across-the-road.

The enigma that is the London Marathon

I've had about 7 people tell me today they want to run the London Marathon after watching it today. I have a few problems understanding this because;
A)Why would you even be watching it? I honestly don't see the appeal of watching people run for hours on end. i mean, i spose the people dressed up would look funny, but that's only funny for about a minute. and then it's like "Well...it's two bloke's dressed as a horse running through London. and the bloke in the back is probably enjoying it a little too much for it to really be about the charity"

B)The London Marathon is running for the sake of running. RUNNING FOR THE SAKE OF RUNNING. IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE WHATSOEVER TO ME!!!!

C)I don't see how watching people run makes you want to run. watching people run makes me tired

D)I'm now worried the above makes me sound lazy and snotty. and opinionated. I'm not ^^ i dunno why i lettered this one...

I'm a Good Girl

I watched 2 films tonight- that makes 2 and a 1/2 in total today. good going considering i got quite a bit done too today. spose it's my nature to just watch them as i float about. like a cinema obsessed Casper.

The first film i started to watch was 'Mean Girls'. i explained to ma how Tina Fey "does what i'm gonna do, only i'm gonna do it better and bigger" and my ma said she admired how confident i was in the idea that i would become a writer, and asked me why i was so convinced- i told her it wasn't a case of confidence but that i just know that i will, in the same way that you know the sky is blue and that the sea is pretty darn big.

That was a bit afternoon special, weren't it. Sorrrrrry

anyways, yeah watched that film up until the bit were they start sorting through stuff (oh my god, never in the history of the world has a sentence been more vague) and then i saw that 'My Best Friend's Wedding' was on on Channel 4, got gutted because i'd missed an hour of it, accidentally stumbled upon it on 4plus1 whilst manically flicking through the channels in a desperate attempt to be entertained, and settled down into a Rom-com-heart-shaped-occasionally-tear-inducing slump for the next couple of hours. I adore Julia Roberts- not only is she extremely talented, and one of my favourite actresses of all time, she is intolerably gorgeous (i want her hair so much. not in a wierd scalping way, in a "oh i wish my hair looked like that" way) and i love that film- it's so unlike every other romantic comedy, because...well, i dinnae wanna spoil it but it's not exactly a happy ending so to speak...i feel bad now...ah well, it's not like i revealed the huge twist at the end of 'Sixth Sense' that no one was expecting- you know, when it turns out that M. Night. Shyamalan career peaked with that film, and then he goes on to semi-ruin his credibility (already running low, thank you 'Lady In The Water') by making the film 'The Happening'.

After that i found 'The Good Girl' on Channel 4 and did pretty much the same thing as i did with 'MBFW'. I'd always wanted to see it, and i'm glad i watched it- it's ever so ever so good. i was really impressed by Jennifer Aniston, i wasn't expecting a performance like that, but it was brilliant. i really enjoyed it. it was clever, thought provoking, endearing in some places, funny in others and just downright depressing on some occasions. i'd definitely watch it again given the opportunity, and that to me is the mark of a good film- if after you've seen it you instantly think "i wouldn't mind seeing it again". i was talking to one of my course mates at Uni about how she never buys DVDs because she doesn't see the point of watching a film more than once (she is to me what Atheists are to devout Catholics), and i said to her that i felt a bit sorry for her, because she's missing out- everytime i see a film i see something new in it. A perfect example of this would be that the other night me and Fozz watched 'Jurassic Park'. Now, i'm not even gonna try to convey mine and my brothers and sisters love for that film- we wore out the VHS copy within a year when it first came out. I only need to tll you this to let you know how much we KNOW that film- me and Kage once reenacted the scene where Alan Grant (sam neil) scares that kid by graphically describing a velociraptor and it's hunting pattern, in our kitchen. Nuff said. Anyway, me and Fozz both noticed a tiny detail about it that we never had before (They use the same piece of audio twice during the scene where Dennis is attacked and eaten by a dilophosaurus)

i went off track again...bugger.

Anyway, yeah, er the film viewage is over and out. i'm quite tired, but in a non-sleeping way. that makes no sense

This blog has been well long and rambly, has used too many brackets (parentheses =]) and i've gone over on my superlative limit (DAMMIT JULIA ROBERTS!!)

There's a helicopter that's been circling around for about 20 minutes now- it's just gone 2:23am on Bob's watch, so i cannae help but think what it's doing up there doesnae have a happy origin.hopefully no one's like hurt or missing or anything.

Right, and now endeth the overtly long blog

nite ^^

Stupid Stupid Stupid. Stupid.

A combination of recovery from yesterday and near exhaustion today means that i look like a complete skank- my hair is unbrushed, and thrown up in a wacky kinda bun where it all sticks up at the back (not on purpose- be under no impression that i think this is a good look) and i'm wearing grey pyjama bottoms and my Kent hoodie. i am sans make-up (not a good look when you're as pasty faced as me, believe me).

Now, i had to get up at 8 this morning because a bloke from the council was coming to take a look at the house because they're re-doing our kitchen (about time- we've been here 17 years). now, i wasn't particularly happy about this- mostly because i bloody well knew, as did my parents. that this bloke wasn't likely to turn up until this afternoon. but Panders insisted i get up in case he turned up early. and guess what? they got here at 2pm!!They're still here now actually.

And yeah- bear in mind i say they, OK?cos this here's the important part. i didn't mind looking like a skank, because the bloke who i, and Panders, thought was coming is this old bloke, who's very small. no need to worry about how i look like in front of him, right? except he didn't turn up alone. Oh no. he turned up with a very VERY cute looking Scotsman.

THAT'S RIGHT!i look like somebody has dragged me a through a hedge made of tools that make you look fugly, and in comes this fittie of a scottish bloke. brilliant. but they seem nice enough, albeit a little surprised to see someone still in their pyjama trousers at 2 in the afternoon, but hey that's just how i roll.

Ooh, the old man has gone upstairs...the scottishman is in the kitchen...ooh the old man is back. i offered them a cup of tea, but the scotsman said he doesn't like tea or coffee- he lost brownie points there, but he said it all scottish so i wasn't really paying attention to what he was actually saying...he looks like a younger version of John Simm, with a rounder face.

i better go-they keep asking me questions i don't know the answer to, like "Where's you Gas Meter?" and "Do you know if you'd want the external pipes changed or have they been done". i feel like saying "I dunno man, i don't live here" but i don't trust myself to say "don't" instead of "Dinnae" infront of Mr-Scottish-Bloke

Stupid hair looking like wubbish. stupid pyjama bottoms.

Grr.
