After many hours of tired flicking and fiddling with the sky remote, trying to work out these new channels... i stumbled across a program on E4 (by chance, i was looking for UKTV style) called 'Beauty and the Geek'. From what I've gathered, some 'Beauties' and some 'Geeks' have to pair up and the girls teach the boys about beauty things.. like looking good.... and the boys teach the girls about..common sense really... and then each week they are quizzed and one team ends up going home.
The episode i happend to see was one where the beauties go out with no make up on, and the geeks go out all dressed up! It was so very funny! this girl, not so clever, and quite shallow was talking about 'questioning the world we live in' trying to be clever i think. (impressing the geeks) and then, my favourite geek...i forget his name... read one of the girls a poem... it lasted 11 minutes... and was about a coin!
oh! that certainly beats any comedy show on today! (except the mighty boosh, and Arrested Development)

Today, we had a domestic violence speaker in... and domestic violence is no laughing matter.. but when she plays Annie Lennox-'why' and then speaks over the top (martin luther-king stylee) i had to bite my cheeks to stop from laughing, which is ok, but when you look round the room and see everyone else doing the same... it becomes very hard.
Then she put on Eminem. trying to reach out to the kids you see... except, when she asked who listens to Eminem. no one put their hand up. poor woman.
then she put on Craig david... and repeated the lyrics... and i had to try so hard not to laugh again... and when the woman started swearing, Mrs Baird was angreeeeeeeeeee!
oh it was good.

now, y'all better go see Walk the Line soon! tis a damned good film and yous is missin out.
oh how i wish i was southern

woooooooo! TODAY IS THE DAY OF PANCAKES! yes yes.
we had one of those courseworks days at school, which was quite useful, really... plus, we got to come home at 1.15! a yes yes. And after 1.15, i went to the high street, to the library to be exact... ordered in 'The Mighty Boosh' box set... that show cracks me up, ahh specially the one yesterday...with 'old gregg' oh deary deary me.
and after we went to the library, we suddenly realised it was Pancake day, so we went to Waitrose, got us some Maple Syrup and a few bits n peices (mainly to make up the £5, to get the ticket stamped to get out of the car park) and came home and mixed up some batter.... but the time was 5pm... and we were going to see walk the line at 5.40... had to pick up izz, and her grandma and my gran at 5.20.....
so the batter was mixed in record time and we were out the door and earlier than we ever have been ever.
and we went to see 'Walk the Line'. I swear, i have never loved a film so much. 'twas excellent! i really want to see it again! I think Reese withersoon spoiled it a little for me though, if June Carter-Cash was played by some unknown actress, it would have been much easier to get 'Legally Blonde' out of my head. you will not understand how good this film is until you see it, honestly thats meant to look like Joaquin Phoenix...

In other news...
last friday i went to see 'Final Destination 3' that film is appauling! and so is UCI. seriously, they had taken the seats away and we had to sit on't floor! THE FLOOR! i paid good money for those 'seats'. ooh it made me angry. And the film...the film is... EXACTLY the same as final destinations 1&2. Although, slightly more gruesome, and it did leave me a bit paranoid. Especially after i hear celine dione everywhere i go... its no longer funny.
oh dear final destination. I'd say its one to miss!

On sunday, I went to see Mrs Henderson presents, at THURROCK cinema, that is a fabulous cinema. It was so clean and nice. and the film was great. and, Will Young can act!? seriously, he is a lucky man! if Simon Cowell was in a bad mood the day he auditioned *poot* he would have none of what he has today. but, seriously, that film was oh so funny, even me granny laughed, and thats when you know its a good'n.

This week i gotta do many many things, and then at the weekend i think we are going to take Granny to giraffe (she is missing Emma, and likes to keep busy) and then on sunday and monday i am staying at isabelle's while her granparents are on holiday. but the maths tutor is still coming. bad luck.

oh, i'm off to find Armageddon.... science project with bizara masood and i might get in trouble if i forget it.... or can't find it! oh no!!!!! I forgot of mice and men.

I have done very very little since wednesday. i got my hair cut! woop!
and, on friday i went shopping at lakeside, i saw Chantelle from Big Brother walking round. and buying EVERYTHING. Me, Archie and mum had a midnight feast, woop, and watched Nanny McPhee..
on saturday i went to london, i went to London, we went to Oxford streeeeet and to spitalfields... when we were on the bus, the traffic was jammed. so we got out and walked. took a while, but it would've taken Wayyy longer in the bus. We had another midnight feast tonight, we watched the parent trap... mucho grande mistako.. its about 3 hours long and didn't end til gone 3. i needed sleep.
sundaday.. we met at Billericayy station at 10am. (what?!) and went up to leicster square in the hope of meeting some famous people. BAFTAS, innit!
well, it poured and the wind blew and we froze... we rowed with those around us. But we also entertained, we played that funky music (white boy?) and we danced and sung... but people were just too miserable, i think the weather had got them down and some fools had been there since 7am. (haha on you). Well, we saw the following people up close..(close enough for a photo/signature) Rupert Grint (ayy Ron Weasley), Peirce Brosnan, Steve Coogan, Neve Cambell, william mosely (chronic-what-cles of narnia) Jude Law, Matt Dillon (heck yes) and a very old but very famous stranger. There were more people, but they were the most memorable. THEN, when the good people came, Heath Ledger, Jake Gylenhaal, George Clooney, Rachel Weisz etc... they got ushered inside as fast as their well dressed feet would carry them. And we were wet, cold and a tad disappointed... Richard Bacon had kept us laughing though. And we made friends with the security guards, they were funny men.. but they tried to take our left eyes and money. and called holly a 'cheeky bitch' HOW DAR HE?
After 6 hours of standing, we went home, I have never loved sitting down so much! I was sooo tired when i got home, i couldn't sleep... which meant i couldn't get up for school monday morning... which was not good. I had too little sleep in the half term and i nearly fell asleep in just about every lesson... expecially Mr (whatch talkin bout) Willis. Monday 20th= 'ye day. Kanye west! woooooooop!
that was soo very very good. He was on for ages and kept disappearing and reappearing and walking through smoke. He had a String Orchestra + a DJ. which was such a clever combination. He started with Touch the sky (cos it was called the touch the sky tour) and he had a massive screen behind, that had the sky on it... he kept standing infront of it.. oh it was good. And he played all the faves.. bitta Slow Jamz, and we worked it out to the new workout plan, goldigger etc. THEN... halfway through, he said 'Yo, throw on some Old skool tracks' and the Dj put on Al Green 'Lets stay together' and then everyone in the Hammersmith Apollo sung along, and then... (this is the good part) somehow, he merged it into Prince 'When Doves Cry' and he started singing that... ohh it was excellent and then a bit of A-ha... TAAAAKE ONNN MEEEE! take on me! and we were lovin it.
well... i was oh so very tired after this, we got home at 00:09 Well done Laura, you won. And i put on the music channel, and guess what was on, Kanye. then corinne Bailey rae, yes yes.
Tuesday, was ok, i found out that if we go on the common room without having one of those ridiculous ties, we go to the unit... whats all that about now? I think its encouraging rivalry between us all. and, frankly mate, i don't like it!
then it was parents evening, and, it actually turned out ok! woooooo! its because alot of my teachers are a bit iffy and do things like lose coursework or tell us to admit defeat or shut the hell up teenager. and they couldn't be negative cos we'd spill the beans on their antics. (YES I MEAN YOU MR WILLIS!)
Today, we found out....... WE GOT GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS!! come onnnnnnn!
erm, i think that is all for now.
yeah. wooot.

here are some photos....
WE WERE A BIT WET

not so much happened on friday, final maths exam.. it was ok. then me and laura went to the cafe 'lucy's' for lunch (not a person called lucy). we swung on the swings for a while.. then we went home and i started my very boring paper round.. and then i went with lillie to see 'fun with dick and jane' .

On saturday i went to thurrock with ann and we went and had a look at the TK MAXX sale, but there was nothing there, then we went to borders and ikea. on sunday we went to see Auntie.

Monday, me, laura and danielle went to the high street where we were meant to be meeting loads of people but no one turned up when they were sposed to... then we went to presence and had some lunch.. and went job hunting. but no where in the whole high street has a place. Later, more people turned up.. 3 more.. and we wandered around.. then one more turned up and we went to sun corner and stood on the swings (we couldn't sit because someone had squirted silly string on the seats!) then i went home to babysit next door for an hour or so and then me, my mother and isabelle were meant to be going to see 'Walk the line' but my mum got sick so me and isabelle went to Nandos!! WOO NANDOS!
and then hired out a filum from blockbusters, 3 actually.. the sweetest thing, camp and tadpole, we watched the start of camp but then we put on the sweetest thing instead.. that film is no where near as funny as i remember it.

Tuesday, i had mathsman come and teach me some maths. then i went to lakeside.. bought nothing.

today, we went to holburn to take in the money to breakthrough breast cancer that isabelle's family had raised..
we shopped around a bit at oxford circus and then came home. tonight, i am so watching brat camp. those girls are awful.

Today, i had a nice lie in again which was fabulous. and then i had History. and it was so very hard. how much did Germany have to pay for reperations after the war?
The least funny thing that happened today...me n lauren were walking to the test, we opened some doors to walk through, Mr Macbeth came up behind us and said 'Thankyou Girls... take a week off next week..' (what? did HE even understand that joke or find it funny?)
the funniest thing that happened today...
nothing. oh wait, it was quite funny when i spent hours revising the wrong things for the test. yeaha, that was a blast.

Well after, me n isabelle came back here and we had a mexican dinner. Mother bought new crockery yesterday so Isabelle and Granny came for tea. We had vegetarian Chilli with lentils which was nice. and ofcourse, tacos tortillas nachos etc..
IT WAS SOOO HOT. me and isabelle made the salsa (i say salsa, it was more of a pinky-red pulp) and i chopped the chillis..but the oil didnt come off my fingers when i washed them.. i rubbed my eyes and now i'm on fire.
then we watched snow dogs.. now i am here. and i am about to revise maths...
if anyone in the world knows what a plane of symmetry is please tell me!? i have no clue and i think its going to be on the test! argh.

I have jest got home from my maths mock.. and haha, it was a test i went through with DAvid W Preston yesterday! EXACTLY the same. it was hard to hide my laughter....
turns out lillie had done it too..
Last night i booked my tickets for Corinne Bailey Rae on 5th April at Shepherds Bush. That is gunna beee good!

0o0o0o0o0UPDATEo0o0o0o0

I did the media test and it was hard. and mr walker (winner of the dullest man in britain award) sat behind me and was reading over my shoulder. offputting? yes.
Then i went to Bluewater.. bought some licorice. I was going to buy Belle and Sebastian and also arcade fire.. but i didn't.. and now i don't remember why. dang.
Archie barker got a cowboy suit today and now, instead of being in bed like he should be, he is dancing about in it and about to watch Calamity Jane, which is a magnificent film. i like the songs.

Yesterday, sunday... was a bit cold!
I went to the high street and got me some films to watch.. and some poppadums.
I watched quite a few films yesterday.. Flipper.. with a dolphin, 50 first dates, with a walrus and WhaleRider with a Whale, bit of an under water theme, and they were good. I have Free willy Lined up ready for tonight, once the maths tutors gone. I also watched '10 things i hate about you' which might be my favourite film ever, i had forgotten how much i loved it and so now i need to watch 'clueless' and the like, so i can remember my love for them. I might even watch one now, i've got spare time on my hands, cos its exam week.
This morning i had an I.T exam, bum bum bah, it was sooo very very hard. I had no idea what an Agenda was, or how to layout a memo.. but now thats over, woo! I went to the Blue Boar with my mum and granny for some breakfast and now i have come back home. But i have to go back in a bit for an English one.. 'Of mice and Men' and Gillian clark/Seamus Heaney poetry.. I'm a little scared cuz, i don't know much about this poetry... i've got no notes in my anthology.. eek!
Later, Davy P/DAvid W Preston/ MATHS MAN, is coming to teach me some maths, which is very helpful as i have a maths test first thing tomorrow, and you can never be too prepared. After that i have media or something.. then on wednesday, (this is the part i like) I don't have to go to school until 1.15 and the same on thursday, so i can sleep as late as i like... then on Friday, Maths finishes at 10.30 and the rest of the day is my own. I'm thinking i might go to london, or to see Chicken Little with Archie boy.
ooooo i am going to read of mice and men, refresh it in my mind. turra

o0o0o0oUPDATEo0o0o0o
I did the english test and 'of mice and men' went really well, wrote about the theme of loneliness throughout the novel, yes yes. however... anthology = thumbs down... I had no notes on 'Patrolling Barnegat' or 'The Feild mouse' and i had no idea what they were talking about... so i made it up.. gotta get some marks, right? this is what i should have written.. .
- Both poems are from a personal viewpoint.
- Both poems are about a storm at sea. Yet Whitman is Patrolling the beach, almost participating in the storm, while Heaney is prepared, protected in his house.
- Heaney uses a simile - spits like a tamed cat turned savage - to describe the wild sea; Whitman uses images that are even more menacing, like Shouts of demoniac laughter.
- Heaney describes the wind attacking - we are bombarded by the empty air. Whitman uses another military image - that of troops moving forward, watchful and firm advancing - to describe the force of the wind. Both images portray the wind as the enemy.
WHAT?! oh well....
didnt get home till almost five, exam ran late then we had to find a teacher then i found vikki and walked her to lillie's house.. poor girl was stranded. then when i got to lillie's the maths tutor was already there, so i had to run home before he got to mine...
did some maths.. and then i found out that 'Blossom' is back on tv... that has to be one of my favourite shows ever.. it was on when i was like 5 and now its back and i love it love it love it. On Kanye night... we are going to go see Corinne Bailey Rae first woooo! THEN 5th April.. we are going to see her again, can't get enough... and on 13th Feb we are going to see 'Boy Kill Boy' who were on the friday night project a few days ago and are no where near as violent as their name implies. still cannae find me some tickets for 'arcade fire' or 'the go! team' but i'm going to see cbr so i'll get over it.

well well well... mathematics tomorrow..
A'goodnighta!

Cuz i'm really cool, i am posting a whole TWO blogs today... though i think i might start doing them on Squarespace.com.. its fabulous. and i can put anything on there which might be useful.
Well, today i went to london cuz it was izzy's birfday yesterday. and she wanted to go to Tiffany's, so she rang me last night, we arranged to head off at 11 this morning. I was late.. because its tradition. So we chuffed up to Stratford on the train (and saw probably every West Ham fan in the country 'if you hate sunderland clap your hands'), then we got on the underground and somehow got to sloane square. Someone had put washing up liquid in the fountain there and it was literally overflowing with bubbles, there was a monk looking appauled at it. It took us about an hour to cross from the station to Tiffany's because everyone driving their ferraris and what not didn't want to let us across. When we got there, it was a little scary, cuz there was a doorman and i'd rather just open the door myself. Then we decided we'd go in the lift just to go in a tiffany lift, there was no difference to a normal lift. Except, we were trying to be discreet about our lazyness... and it was the noisiest lift in the quietest shop. then we went upstairs, isabelle bought her necklace and the girl who served her was afully awfully posh. then we plucked up the courage to go out of the door, because the scary doorman was still standing there. and we hopped back on the tube to Oxford Circus. Had a look around Topshop (THE KOOKS night topshop) and saw the nicest bags in the entire world, but was ridiculously over priced. Then we went to Covent Garden and i went to MAC to replace my mums compact that i broke, but i forgot to get money out so we had to go on a hunt for a cash point. and there were NONE in covent garden. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. I walked down Neal Street and down where the marker bit is. past the tin tin shop. i went to the bureau de change to ask and the woman said 'if you keep walking round you'll find one.'. Thanks. FINALLY there was one at leicester square, so then i trapsed back to neal street bought some bronzer for mama and we headed home. except isabelle lost her ticket. and had no money, as it all went on her necklace BA BA BAAAA. so i offered to lend her the money, but they were trying to charge her silly amounts for such a small journey, so we hopped on a bus (Free for over 16s) and went to liverpool street then it only cost £3.80 back to shenfeild. I was impressed! so we got on a train and were stuck on a carraige alone with a strange man that kept shutting the doors. then more people piled on... west ham fans again! so then we got going. finally we got back. isabelle went home, i went to blockbuster, fancied a film. I wanted to see 'The in-laws' or 'Sidewalks of New York' but apparently my account has been deleted so i couldn't. so i cam home, and had some quorn. yum. and now i am looking at this SuareSpace. i think its super.
Tomorrow, i might go see Auntie with Lainey and Granny. Haven't seen her in a while, or spoke to her properly. The last time we had a conversation she thought i was Emma and when she realised i'd said amy.. the chat kind of died off...
Plenty a revision to do... yeah, so maybe look at My Squarespace If theres anything on it.

I am trying to write a blog every day, becuase... i just want to see if i can do it.
But, there aren't enough things going on for me to blog about. I could write one today when i get home, which would be easier because i could write about what i did today.but i might not be on the computer.
So i'll write about what i'm going to do today... i am going to london with Isabelle, it is her birthday. or it was yesterday. so we are going bond street and to covent garden. cos everyone loves the garden.
ooh isabelle has just rang us..she needs make up supplies! Yesterday, i toook many photos of non uniform day and some for my media coursework, which were excellenté. They were of Aimée Higgins, as Stella Osker, new actress and superstar. We spent the entire lesson wandering around the school looking for a free class room. There are SO many rooms in that school, and not a one was free, we ended up doing our 'photoshoot' in the corridoor outside a business studies class!
I am trying to work out how to make my photobucket available for to view. Everyone else has their KoKo photos up there i must be able to do it somehow. I think i did it... I am going to upload the photos of yesterday on there so ya'll can see em. Chances are, if you were in the common rooom there is a photo of you trying to escape. Cos yesterday, ANYONE could go in there. not just the special ones. ha.
20 week left of compulsory education! nooo! and only a few weeks til i'm sixteen. I can't beleive Zara is not goin sixth form. better than us.. going chelmsford are ya? its 16 days til Kanye West. wooooo. And on the 6th March, i'm going to see Family Fortunes, with Vernon KAy!!!!!!! wooooo!
Anyone know when V tickets go on sale, i am so buying some. I also would like to get tickets to see Arcade Fire. but unfortunately there are none, its ok, soon, there'll be another spree trip (i hope) for this new album. 'The Fragile Army' strange title to choose reallly, 'the beginnning stages of' 'together we're heavy' and 'the fragile army'...hm.
i am going because i'm meant to be on the train in 30 miutes and i'm still in my PJs! oops.
