What I see when I look in the mirror (This is not an “OMG AM SO UGLY PLZ DO U FINK IM FAT?” post)

Hmm, I have a really young face. I don’t look 15 at all in my face. I’m tall enough at just under 5 foot 8 but my face is quite solemn. I quite like my mouth and eyes, although I do seem to have this stare which can be either pitiful or blank…many say this looks quite threatening but I don’t really see how. I’ve got constant bags under my eyes too which I suppose I’ve inherited off of my mum ¬_¬
But, my skin is rather clear. It took me about 3 years to realise that I don’t actually get many spots on my face…heh I’m quite greatful for that. But then when a neighbour said that to me I immediately was plagued by huge ones for 2 weeks …and one was on my cheek; it was the first time I’ve ever had one actually on my cheek. I was gutted. My neighbour must be a witch. >_>

Argh it’s just one thing after another

The new laptop is here (about bloody time). PC World insisted that they couldn’t give us a refund since they weren’t authorized and some fat arse hole on the tech guys team wiuldn’t serve us even though there was a big queue and he was the only one serving. No, instead he sat behind a glass wall.

Clever bastard.

Anyway, they eventually gave in and here I am typing away at a nice, black, Toshiba Vista thingy. Vista is good, but the movie maker in it is even better. It’s so easy to use and doesn’t crash or be annoying. However, what is annoying me is that the scanner won’t turn on. WHY? How did it break when it hasn’t been touched since November!? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO UPLOAD PICTURES? AND I JUST MADE A BREAKTHROUGH WITH MY SKILLS AND COLOURED IN ONE!!!

In other news, Vanessa Feltz has become equal to Robbie Williams (second) on my ‘who I hate the most’ list.

Ta-ra.

These mishaps you bubble wrap

I want P(iss)C World to replace the latop since they obviously can’t fix it.
I want to go to the gym
I want to eat KFC
I want to be able to use the scanner
I want all my art coursework to have been done when I post this
I want a boarder collie (I might be in luck there in 10 years time; people are abandoning them in the street even though they cost about £5000 because they cba walking them)
I want one of those new ipod nanos
I want to know how to use photoshop

I’m in a giving mood today.

What the hell is imvu?

The adverts for it on the net really annoy me. It’s like they’re trying to promote internet sex or something and you just know the people who use it are fat americans - even though I’m not entirely sure what it is.

Bah I don’t care anyway…I’m just glad I’ve discovered a new, amazing singer (who is probably really famous anyway) called Frou Frou. Her voice is so unique and beautiful…*cries*.

I really hate it when I ask people “Do you have a dent in your finger bone from writing?” and they reply “Yeah I have a lump.” because that’s not what I fricking asked

New Year’s resolutions? Errrr…drink more water, less drinking chocolate and eat less bread. I used to drink loads of water a few months back which, I like to think, is why the skin on my cheeks are rather smooth (except this week I actually had a proper spot on one for the first time ever - as you can imagine I was distraught). As for the bread thing, when I gave up bread last lent it was a lot easier than I expected and I felt quite good for doing it.

At lent, I like to avoid the boring ‘Oh I’m giving up sweets’ because chances are, I just wouldn’t so I tend to go for the harder (easier really but more unusual…) options like giving up bread or meat (that one was a fricking hard one since I did that before KHDS forced me to convert into liking veggy foods). I suppose for lent I’ll just give up bread again, and maybe chocolate… >_>

Anyway, away from lent and back onto New Years…d’awww 2007 is gone. Personally, it was an alright year for me since the radiator was working in the attic through the majority of it and I discovered Ouran High School Host Club and Heroes. For others though, twas filled with flooding. I suppose that’ll happen again this year and every year after now, and that’s what you get for living on a flood plain. Soon the shape of the island will be changed and, who knows, maybe we’ll have some massive lakes that will become tourist attractions or archaelogical sites in 100s of years time…

Now, onto my favourite quotes of the 2007 -

“King David doesn’t promote clapping.” - Mrs Smith
“I’m retiring.” - Mrs Ellis
“90 years?” - The kid who was surprised to here how long Mrs Ellis had been teaching
“And if your booing then you’re a mug for buying the ticket.” - Amy Winehouse at her Birmingham Concert
“Yay, we all have aids!” - Miss Hewitt talking about study guides (But, nah, I ain’t got an aid sadly)
“…it’s Jack’s nan” - Everyone but Jack
“Yar rite sweet’art cas yer don’t luk it?” - Fat Joe
“No don’t take the lid off the pringles they’ll get cold!” - Shauna

But the winner is KIRUBIN with……………………
“See this is why I hate Muslims.”

and from such a mellow fellow too!

There are a hell load of great things I’ve heard over the year but yeah, I can’t be arsed remembering them.

Happy New Year :)

Hope you all had a great CHRISTMAS break. I spent Christmas night staying up late with Kassy talking about american religious maniacs, people with prader willi syndrome and the village for people with special needs on some documentary Kassy saw, while we drank gin and lemonade.

Great fun.

Also when I woke up on Christmas morning I banged my head on the wall next to my bed - just to add that little ‘Molly’s series of unfortunate events’ event in that happen.

So with 2008 comes the Capital of Culture (hahahahaha) and GCSEs. I am quite worried since I haven’t done a lot for art, but what I have done took me ages. Sod’s law, eh?

At least I have no exam tomorrow afternoon and one of them is RE…which I haven’t revised (thank you for the notes though Chris, even though they are 20 pages long).
