Red sharpie pens don’t mix with skin
What a day today has been.. Really strange and mad could be one way of to describe it. I had people crowding around me pressing their pens against me to sign my shirt and people decorating me neck and face. I had quite alot of different of designs on my face as I kept washing the ink off not to mark the skin. This went so well until I forgot about the last time they drawn on me and I left the ink on my face and neck.
When I arrived home, I thought it would wash off easily but after hundreds of attempts it really didn’t. So I decided I look search how to wash it off on google. The main things mentioned to wash permanent ink off was toothpaste, nail remover and alcohol.
First of all I decided to try dabbing nail polish remover over my neck. So I basically poured half a bottle of the stuff on bog roll then onto my neck. It stung like anything and my neck started looking and feeling like you got sun burn. It really wasn’t a good idea at all. Also the smell of the stuff was making my eyes water and I started coughing. I was on the floor with pain. It did sorta work though but it didn’t remove it all off my neck. (Edit: Do not try this at home.. my neck is still red and its months after i written this post)
Next thing, alcohol, or to be more approx.. Cider!! It didn’t really had any effect apart from making my neck sticky, making me smell like a alcoholic, and making me sad after I wasted half a can. So I moved on to toothpaste.
I had no idea why toothpaste would do anything but I wasn’t going to question it. I dashed to the bathroom and started squeezing the tube all over my neck and rubbing it in like sun cream. All I archived with this is that my neck started stinging again and I smelt like a obsessed teeth cleaner.
So yeah, thats the last time I’m trusting Google!
Corr.. I don’t like being in 27c weather
I’m a really great day today. Its still Spring but you wouldnt be blamed for thinking that its midway though summer as it reached 27 degrees today. I’m not one enjoy hot weather as my fair skin burns quite easily, so I’m forced to apply sun cream quite often. When I got out of the huts from my last lesson of the day, I was blinded by the amount of light.
My wallet is going to upset with me. I’ve been draining the amount of money I have by going to places like theme parks which seem like monthly. I think that I fund the munchbox at my school as I buy something from it daily. I was upset that they have given up with the microwave garlic bread idea as I really liked them. ![]()
I had a mega happiness boost from going to Ultimate Events over the weekend, which I will blog about once I can be brothered. I didn’t get to go on many rides though due to the mad road traffic and busyness of the park. I really enjoyed myself though talking to people and dancing madly in the concert. This will embarrass me if they ever show the shots of me on God Tv. I never watched God tv.
I just noticed that its midnight. Must go to sleep.. Sleeping (well more like lying at..) at David house has really messed with my body clock. I’m sure it will sort itself out soon enough!
Smoking is stupid
One of my friends at school has started smoking - what a stupid person. I only found out about this as I asked him if he did anything exciting over the weekend and he just started bragging how he started smoking when he went to another mates house. I wasn’t really impressed by this news and how he thought that people would think he is a legend for doing that. It didn’t seem to when I told my other mates and they seemed to have to same view of me. I just hope he doesn’t convince his best mate to start smoking..
Today was rather nice with the weather although I managed to get sunburn on my neck. Yeah - thats one of the downfalls of being ginger is that you burn easily. Anyways - because of the weather, everybody was on the field playing football. I couldn’t be brothered so I just stood and stared.
On second lunch, they wanted to play this game which they played yesterday which is called Bulldog. The game works is that one person in the group is IT and calls out ‘Bulldog!’ while everybody else runs to the other side trying not to be caught by IT. I only played this game one as you look like a idot running back and forth, nobody decided to tackle me, and adding on to the last point.. it is one stupid painful game which results with people clothing getting ripped. It also a excuse for my mates vertically hump each other on the ground and feel each other up without any after thoughts. While I don’t mind what their sexuality is, I just feel uncomfortable when they are doing this!
I’m going to Ultimate Events
Yes it is true. I am attending the Ultimate Events which is in Alton Towers which is located in Staffordshire. For people who do not what Ultimate Events is, its a massive event hosted by Milton Keynes Christian Centre which unites people together with thrills in the theme park and great music in a concert that starts just when the theme park closes.
Now I am not a Christian and only known about the event cause I been invited by a friend called David (who has also invited some other people I know). I still think it will be a great day even though the whole day will be packed with hundreds of people. I quite like some of the bands that are in the concert which is always good.
Just until a couple of days ago, I didn’t have any idea about the plans but thankfully I got emailed them. I think David was in a rush to write them as their is some mistakes but it is still readable. I quite like how he included maps to make it easier to locate places. As I’m going to arrive back in Wallingford late, I’m gonna be sleeping at Davids which will be different. I heard I will be sleeping in tent.. I hope it doesn’t rain!!!
Teacher’s shouldn’t clap

I had a strange geography session today where my teacher was clapping and being really hyper throughout, and this cheered me up was quite alot and felt things went quicker whilst revising. Saying that, I wouldn’t want every teacher to be hyper as that would get annoying.
I only have around two weeks left of school now then I leaving the place. I can’t wait to move to the next stage of my life which is scary yet exciting at the same time if you know what I mean. I feel that the school has me down with some parts of my education with especially Maths (lots of different teachers and lack of teaching) and Geography (Mr Ford teaching one thing not forcing on the stuff he was meant to be teaching.)
I sort of snapped last night with my parents, (I don’t mean I suddenly starting hating them or started fighting) as they started blaming problems in the household on me. Like I tried to help my mum with the her phone, and they blame all the problems with it on me which I feel is unfair. Now on I’m going to let them sort their own problems out and not get so involved.
I have given up with relationships at the moment. I still need time to recover from the last person using me. He like hold my hands, hug and stuff then ignore anything that happened after the day is over. I think there was a love triangle was going on as well, as he still is really close with one of his mates. This is probs a good idea to not focus on relationship as there is GCSEs coming very soon.
