I have a new journal. ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) alannarama. Add me there, please, because I won't be using this one anymore. I'm not going to delete it, but I'm not going to be writing in it or reading through it either. Thankyou.

Heh. I spent the entire yesterday mocking Ben, usually on the subject of Tom being his lover. I can't help it, it's a compulsion. Dammit.
Look, Alanna's found the shift key again. Or just decided she'd better learn to type properly. Wheee!
Old men keep giving my wrist strange/admiring looks but I LIKE my new bracelet and I don't want to take it off. Even if it does look a teensy weensy little bit like bondage gear. Dammit again.

here's something that's patently not a good idea: whilst bored and mildly depressed, complaining about your appearance then thinking "hey, i should cut myself a fringe!"
especially not when you're sat next to nail scissors.

rosa is tiny and i wish i was as enthusiastic about how beautiful she is as my nan, but really, she just looks like a baby. little. huge eyes. wrinkly hands. she's cute though. and surprisingly quiet (my uncle andy says it's a different story at midnight though, lol).
it's bad how much i can't function without music.

alton towers was mint. went on air, nemesis, the black hole, enterprise and oblivion. didn't go on the spinny thing 'cause i felt bad about leaving danny on his own (he didn't want to go on), so we had coffee while the others went on. but it looks absolutely amazing, so are you still up for going at the end of the summer?
i have a new cousin. sister of theo (cousin on my dad's side). rosa rita, born yesterday afternoon. going to see her tomorrow :-D
manchester was mint too. cheap beer, fantastic music and veggie cafes everywhere. oh and triangular shaped student digs. could definitely be happy living there for 5+ years, methinks. northern cities are so much friendlier than the south (with the exception of london).

so my little brother's a vindictive little shit, my dad's a complete arsehole at times, my mum's snappy and i'm the completely useless sulky kid, nothing to sulk about but unhappy nevertheless. bleh.
looking on the bright side, i'm going to alton towers on thursday. whee.
being till trained tomorrow. eeek. i don't wanna go on the checkouts.
the past few days have been empty. not as in not doing stuff. as in i go about normal life but i don't feel like it's me there, it's a me-shell or robot or golem or whatever and the real me has gone somewhere else. i space out a lot. i dunno. i lost interest somewhere.

london was ace but i'm too lazy to type about it in great detail.
party in the park was brill (even if we did have to sit thru some real shit *coughpeterandrecough*. the week at the hospital was fantastic, v. informative, taught me that doctors run around more than i'd thought, do more paperwork than i'd thought, and that there are tons more interesting jobs in a hospital besides doctors and nurses. still wanna do medicine tho.
went to see the day after tomorrow with beenie which was good. went to portobello market on saturday which was fantastic (did all my shopping there instead of oxford st.) and i got some doc martens! at last! in the end tho i didn't get the purple boots i've been after for the last three years, got some red shoes instead. v nice. i'll post pics at some point. maybe.
when mum and mags came up at the wknd we went to portobello then to the BBC proms! (mum's idea) i wasn't expecting to like it much cos three hours of classical music is usually a bit much for me, plus i HATE male voices and there was a big chunk out of faust and some other stuff, but it was actually excellent. definitely worth going to and only four quid!
i have also been inspired by my newly super-skinny auntie (beenie) to go get fit. yay.

OMG I'M GOING TO PARTY IN THE PARK AND ALANIS MORISSETTE IS PLAYING!!!
is that enough update, sylvz?
i'm going to london to stop with my auntie and do work experience next week. looks like it's going to be fantastic.
mother is still unrelenting on the piercing issue. and now i'm seriously thinking about going and doing it anyway.
university applications are worrying. but whilst everyone else seems to be changing their minds i'm still definitely aiming for medicine. that's good, right? only it's really scary. i'm really worried about not getting in, and i don't have a clue what to do if i don't because i really can't think of anything else i want to do!

my home internet connection is buggered and i'm not sure when it'll be fixed. i'm consoling myself with the harry potter computer game and hoping i'll be back online soon. in the meantime am checking emails and stuff at school, but am not around much.
which is a pity, cos i've been playing with the camera and also actually doing stuff lately. so could update-update. but nooooooooo
lydia pushed me in sutton resevoir yesterday. we got anna and sarah too. fun fun fun!
i tried to dye my hair red but its so damn dark that nothing really happened. there's a hint of red in the sunshine, but that's all. looks like if i want it colouring i'm gonna have to get the hairdressers to bleach it. eeeek.
what sound does yellow make?

omg we met danny wallace and we ate pizza in seven minutes to see him and he signed my book and we were first in line and i'm an official joinee, not a sort-of one any more and we spoke to the Leader (yep, danny wallace again) and there was a cute waiter in pizza hut and we did random acts of kindness even though its not good friday, because we belong to the karma army and we are cool.
"we" is me and ovenfriendly.
this is the cult we joined.
The Karma Army Needs You.

i think it's possible that i'm the laziest person on the planet.
well, exams are over which is a Good Thing, but i haven't done very well at all (don't give me that i'm sure you've done fine crap; i know what i can do and what i can't). which worries me slightly. scrap that, it worries me a lot. most people will laugh at me for this because i know its something i was extremely lucky for, but, well i've never had to work for school before. i mean it. i got excellent grades last year without lifting a finger (i mean it; i did no revision whatsoever for most of them). and this year i've done work, lots of work by my standards although admittedly not as much as i could have done, and i still fucked them up. i dont think i'll outright fail any subjects (maybe maths) but i foresee several Ds. there will be lots of resits.
so what's gone wrong? why can't i hack it anymore? i don't think i got stupid. i don't feel any different. but all of a sudden i can't handle the work. which is worrying because if i don't do brilliantly here, i don't get into medicine (even if i do do brilliantly that's not a given) and if i can't do medicine then i don't know what i'll do.
that's not actually true. i'd do a science degree and join the police. but that's not what i want to do, dammit.
the evening sunshine on the trees outside was beautiful and i wanted to capture it on film (or memory card, to be more accurate). but i sat watching for too long, the sunshine faded behind the houses and it disappeared.
have any of you heard of join me? danny wallace (Glorious Leader and author of the book) is going to be at waterstone's in nottingham tomorrow. ovenfriendly and i, his most devoted joinees, will be there. WE'RE GOING TO STALK MEET DANNY WALLACE! (thanks laura for reminding me this morning ♥)
EDIT:
my auntie decided to call our house, forcing my dad to leave the living room to answer the phone, in the 20 seconds that it took england to score their third goal. never mind that he saw the replays, he's still really pissed off. muahahahahahahahah!!
i may have the best new nickname ever....
We've all been pushed too far today.... says:

i got the coolest thing ever in the post today.
( my letter )
physics exam today and whoa. i have never felt so clueless in my life. in all seriousness, i made half of it up. or even worse, just left it completely blank. eeek. stupidity does not become me. or anybody, i guess. i'm babbling again. i'll shut up now.
presentation tomorrow. i'm hoping it'll go alright although i feel guilty for not particularly wanting to win, still i'd rather not seem a complete twat while i'm on stage, thankyouverymuch!
i'm getting really really unfit again, and i'm far too lazy to do anything about it. bugger.
i really really can't wait to see you. ♥
adios for now, mes amigos!

| crycrimsontears's LJ stalker is proceed_dreamin! | | proceed_dreamin is stalking you because they think you are the one who made anonymous abusive LJ comments. They are also not very liked around here! |
LJ Stalker FinderFrom Go-Quiz.comdamn you ste!! i have never in my life been worried about exams before now. but i am. i can't remember a lot of the work and i don't know how to make myself learn it, because i've never had to before. and people laugh at me when i say that, but it's true. i'm worried, not about failing because big-headed though it sounds i know i won't, just about not living up to the standards i set for myself. and i refuse to lower them. i'm reading the godfather at the moment. it's really good.
