  • First the Live show, now a festival!


    Wellll.... yet another something to be excited about even though i have a snowflake in hell's chance of going!

    After wasting lots of time messing about on facebook and checking the groups, i stumbled across this.............................
    ' Looks like the boosh are planning a festival'.... so i investigated, and concluded that:

    The mighty boosh are planning to headline their own festival! Apparently they're the new rock 'n' roll?!
    All i really know is it's at the Hop Farm, near Tonbridge in Kent, on Saturday July 5!!!! and they're expecting 30,000 people!
    Also, some of their friends might also be playing at the festival, like:

    The Horrors :D :D

    Razorlight

    Robots in disguise :D :D

    and possibly Russell brand :D :D

    WOW!
    Anyway because i'm so lazy and i really need to do some revision for my German oral exam (IN FOUR DAYS!!!!!!!!!!) I'm sure you'd love to read it for yourselves......

  • Prom.. again.....

    >Isn’t it strange how just as i post about the prom, we get a letter about it? So, i am no longer as mystified as i was. To be honest, it isn’t really that strange since we were bound to get told wtf was going on at some point. Anyway, i thought why not tell everyone here what was going on too, so at a later date when i’m panicking you know why! Not to mention the hunt for a dress which will ensue, so expect a lot of pictures of the dresses i’m liking at the moment....

    Our prom is at a local hotel, and it all sounds a bit posh to me, with what sounds like a very nice 2-3 course meal! That’s an up-side i suppose, but i also found out that we have to invite the teachers?! WHY???? Could it be more embarrassing! If you have any experience of teachers you know my problem!  Let’s just say, for some unknown reason the prom committee whose single function is to decide which teachers to invite have decided to invite the head of history, who’s known for being a bit batty! She’s from the past........ and the last time she was invited by a year group she got so drunk she decided to have a little paddle in the pond at the front of the hotel! What am i doing letting her determine whether i pass or fail gcse history with what she’s telling me!? Other than that i guess it’ll be a surprise to find out which other teachers (embarrassments) i’ll have to avoid for the entire night! It’ll definitely be funny though!

    I’ll keep you posted in the meantime!

     

    Now i reaaaally need to get back to work – i’m supposed to be revising for my GCSEs which start in a week or so!

  • PROM?!

    Ok..... I'm booored, i'm ignoring revision and i thought it was about time i posted on here seen as i've been drowning in GCSE 'stuff' and so i haven't had chance for a while. So, while listening to IAMX,   this is what i came up with as an attempt at a post.
     

    I have also been thinking quite a lot about the monster that lurks in the shadows which takes the form of our school prom. Everyone tells me it should be fantastic but to be honest i just can't see it happening. As far as i know it's gone to everyone's heads far too much, because the people on the prom committee have already decided on the dress code (dress code?! i was planning to go in  a hoodie and jeans, but somehow, i don't think that's going to be allowed).
    Yes, it's tuxedos (?) for the guys and long flowing dresses for us girlies..... which to me just means yet another thing for me to worry about-  finding/choosing/buying a dress! You have to understand this is quite a trauma for me, seen as i only actually own two dresses at the moment (i'll see if i can take a picture) and they're hardly ball gowns. I kinda live in skinny jeans and t-shirts, so buying a dress for a party at xmas gave my mum a huge shock! There's also the added complication of me being quite little, and i don't particularly want to end up looking like an oompa-loompa with really short legs by getting the wrong shaped dress.....

    On top of the dress situation, i also have to deal with my friends, who seem to insist on using it as a weapon in their constant wars against each other. They're arguing about who's booking which limo (what limo?! no-one told me about any limo!), who's wearing which colour dresses in which style, and who's going with who and who's getting ready where! Being a bear of very little brain, this seems to be a bit too much for my overloaded mind, and now i'm totally confused.
    Apparently it's on a Tuesday. That's all i know.

    Anyway, i reckon i'm being too negative about the whole thing....erm..... on the plus side...... it might be nice for the whole of year 11 to be together for once... 
    Oh, and watching one particular friend of mine trying to dance might be quite funny.......somehow it's looking like the cons outweigh the pros. I'm sure i'll start to look forward to it the closer i get to it........

    In the meantime, there's the small matter of trying tp get all 11 GCSEs to attend to! 

  • Twickenham.... where dreams are made.... part 2

    Back from London!
    Typical northerners - start a fight then bugger off home.

    That was basically what happened. Oh, and we watched a bit of rugby too. But overall, despite having to get up at a time which i didn't actually believe existed because it was so early, it was one massive party- six hours there on a bus, partying and basically listening to loud music, painting faces, eating and singing in a drunken way just to stay awake.
    We got there, then walked round Twickenham looking ridiculous. Erm... the reason we looked so idiotic was that we kinda got the wrong end of the stick- we turned up with blue and white faces, war paint, flags and some of the guys even painted their chests blue, and the rest of the schools were all really posh private schools (so I still wonder what the hell we were doing there) and they were all looking very sensible with monacles and tweed jackets etc...

    Anyway, so there we were, singing too loudly (but we weren't  being very offensive actually, which makes a change), and generally acting like it was something we were supposed to be enjoying !?! I think this cheerful outlook upset the particularly posh people- even standing up to cheer got on their nerves!

    Even though the people behind me i think were about to hit me over the head for screaming and cheering and singing and standing up (shock horror) i decided to do it even more just to piss them off (i tend to do that when i reckon people are being unfair like that). 
    If that got on their nerves, the thing that really did it was a prize idiot in our year decided to take on the entire crowd of supporters for the other team in a drunken rage. Well done to him. Clearly, eveyone thought he'd escaped from the zoo. 
    So, with this genius idea in place, he must have started to provoke those supporters or something  because before long, they started to throw stuff at him and were calling him a fat bastard. They probably thought he was the entertainment instead of the rugby!
    At this point, i had to look away and hide underneath the huge flag i was waving about, because the total moron decided the best way to respond to this insult was to take off his shirt and show everyone his belly.  'What a dumbass. Wtf is he doing?' were probably the thoughts of most of the spectators at that moment.

    Then the stewards decided to intervene by standing in between the supporters from my school and the supporters from the other school. Surprisingly enough, this apparently didn't work, because apparently he caused a 'heated discussion'  during and after the match. So if there are any people who were at that game, don't worry, we all think he's a dickhead. All the time.

    After the game, we carried on the party (we had to stay positive, we had the prospect of 6 hours back on the bus before we got home to contend with), which was basically more singing etc, but this time, we also started to get very serious and competitive about uno, which was an experience. Remember, at this point i hadn't slept in a very long time and so everyone was probably hallucinating. But i swear to God, the colour of a card has never mattered to me more in my entire life.

    Overall, I still want to go and live in London, seen as Camden's probably one of the most amazing places in the world, as long as i'm not banned from going because of certain yobbos.
