Christmas is over.
Snow is falling, all around me, etc etc.. and it was a jolly good christmas this year.I ate alot, had a lot of fun. played 'scene it' with the family and on my own, nearly watched the entire first season of 'arrested development' in one sitting -because i cannot get enough of that show. and i have read more books than you would think possible in the past few days. So many, i now have a sort of inner monologue running in my head. and i am thinking how, if i were to write a book, i would write about this event and use such imaginative adjectives! let me tell you its fun.
I got some grand presents, a brand new, super de duper, all singing all dancing camera (it has about a million settings, including one for snow, one for candle-lit pictures and one for beaches) and a teenee tiny mp3 player, it claims to be the smallest in the world. but the only problem is, neither of these things will run on this computer. they say they work on macs but no matter how hard i try and how many buttons i press, i just cannot use them. which saddens me somewhat.
i do not like reading instructions, but on this occasion, i have. and there is a section in the instructions for installing on windows ME, 2000 XP or 98SE. But i don't have any of them. But right above all this it says minimum system requirements.. yadda yadda yadda, mac OS 9 or above I HAVE OS X! grr
archie's little driving game won't work either, but on the box it says it will. so we're sticking with scalextric til this whole mess is straightened out.
well this has turned into a bit of a rant. so.. i'll end it.
merry christmas and a happy new year.
enjoy the rest of 2005!

Well, it is christmas day tomorow. and i am a little bit tired, cos i was babysitting last night and i didn't get home til 2am and then we wrapped pressies. and i had to shine coins! woohoo. so now everyone will have extra shiny money. Today i am going to do nothing. Although i may go to the high street. so then i will be doing something. Well, anyway, i might watch lost again, and write about it on our lost forum
i am going to put on some christmas songs and jive. and make extra garlic potatoes. for veggie eat'n.

HO HO HO!(Unsuitable Zach Braff joke goes here) merry christmas.

oo i forgot, i got all my hair chopped off. not really all of it. but some of it. Its like a basin cut now, and i don't hate it. I look like i did when i was in Year 2 though.

yay christmas.

Did a lot in the last week.
Been on a wild goose chase for a book for Zara.
Been tricked into a maths lesson on new years day by the maths tutor.
Finished school.
But i'm gonna write every detail, cos i have 30 minutes to kill until lost comes on.
So, on saturday, we went shopping in bas vegas. I bought nothing but a spangly hat.
on sunday, i went with the fam to 'The Bluebell Railway' And we got on an old steam train that took us on an 18mile journey through sussex or suffolk i don't remember which. I think Sussex. and it was all old like the harry potter train, Santa gave me n archie presents, woop woo! I got a radio pen and Archie got a transformer. More happend But i think Archie is planning to talk about that on his blog, don't want to steal the poor boy's thunder, now.
On monday, very little happend, though we did see the end of 'of mice and men'. But i did dirve to (almost) every tesco and asda in the county looking for a book. Couldn't find it anywhere. And i learned some maths.
Yesterday, i went to school for 3 lessons, cos we had a half day. In Maths, me and laura tried to organise a Band Aid sing-a-long, which was set out the same as the real one, with everyone having a line or two. It would have been great but then the teacher stopped us. Which was ridiculous, cos it's christmas and everyone was enjoying themselves. Laura thinks she is jealous because there weren't enough lines for her, she could have joined in on the chorus though! Then in RE we watched the Simpsons and Bruce Almighty. And had chocolates, i didnt eat any, cos i do not trust mr beckett. he was being too nice. Laura ate every chocolate she was offered. and then he mocked her in front of the entire class. nasty man. And then in History, we watched 'Downfall' I had no idea what was going on though. The class next door were doing a mega mega sing-a-long! After History, it was hometime! woo! Laura walked down to mine and we got changed and walked up to the station. we got the train to liverpool street, and the bus to regent street and then we went to hamleys. IT WAS PACKED! So we walked on round to Selfridges, even more packed. So we went to covent garden. And saw the man with his guitar on his lap. Had a wander then we went to Pizza Hut on the strand. And there was a hair in my pizza! SO i told the man, and he spoke to the manager and he reduced the bill. RESULT!! My granny had given us £5. And the bill came to £5.08, when it should have been £14.99. So we payed 8p. and were away.
Today, i got up at 8, having a nightmare about this book for Zara, so i got up and went to buy it. No where in the high street had it, and by 10am i was in basildon (my least favourite place in the world) I finally found it. and had time to come home and wrap it before going back to basildon at 11.45 to see King Kong. I was so please with myself! THE FILM WAS SOOOOO LONG. Laura and Zara said it was jus like the original. and to be honest i would give it a miss. although it was very good. the last line sent me away with the wrong impression. Adrien Brody is good though! and then i went to the high street with isabelle, and then i looked after archie while my mother and father went for a shop. It was not fun.

What a long blog, and i still have 8 minutes til 'lost'!

ok, folks.. here it is.. the christmas countdown.. the one that is far better than amelia's, sorry matee but, as i said.. everything's better in song.

I love valentines day and the fourth of july,
i'm a little bit sad when halloween has gone by,
i'm thankful thanksgiving comes around in the fall,
but i've always loved christmas the best of them all...

something something something,
and i'm not complaining,
something about counting the days still remaining.. til
christmas........12!!

(i didn't make it up, i just wrote it, cos someone needs to give, you(amelia), some friendly competition, it'll do you good in the long run.)

christmas is not this sunday but the next one, school finishes on tuesday. woopee.

i want to go and see Evan Dando from the lemonheads in glasgow on new years eve! i'll find a way.
