That Ginger Guy

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 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.

I recently went to London with the school to see ‘The Women In Black‘. I decided to get changed in the leisure centre and met my mum to eat pizza before 4:20 when I was due to get picked up at the front of the school. Everybody dashed into the bus when the brightly coloured orange Tappins coach arrived. I wasn’t sure who I was going to sit with as my mates already was sat together on the bus so I sat next to this quiet person called Ben.

It was rather busy on the motorway due to roadworks and stuff so I was glad when we reached the bus lanes near and inside London. I still have no idea what a low emission zone is, but there was lots of signs around London saying that area was that.

As the play started at 8pm, everybody walked to Covent Garden to look around the place. It would of seemed that everybody in my group of mates looked to me as the leader which was strange as I had no idea. We wondered to HMV (which was pointless) as they wanted to look at the metal part. *sigh* I did amused myself by finding the rude album covers.

When we got to the theatre, we nearly had the dress circle to ourself apart from a few couples dotted around it. The seating was really cramped so you had to sit on it weirdly as you had no leg room. I found that the first half of the show as a warm up.

During the short break I had a £2.50 choc and mint ice cream which was kindly brought by Harry. I was still eating it whilst the second half of the show started. This part was the main bit and I wouldn’t say it was scary but very jumpy. They just basically just played loud noises when you wernt expecting it! I found some of the show quite funny especially the women in black mask.

The way back was really boring, everybody (including me) was really tried due to the time of day and to be kind I won’t mention who, but somebody got travel sick! The route the Tappins driver used was unnecessarily too long and had lots a traffic.

Got back at round 1am in the morning.

Lots of stuff happened since I lasted posted on this blog, and I having difficulty shoving it down on this post!

I suppose I start on talking about going to ‘Get ready for work!’ day in Wantage on Thursday. I didn’t benefit from the day at all as most of it was about common sense (ie lying is bad on a application form) or the stuff about body language was taught to me when I did the M.A.G.I.C course, which involved a trip out eating pizza and skating. The other thing annoyed me about the trip was that I missed out getting a lot of important GSCE Art stuff at school which I didn’t realised was getting handed out that day.

I despise call centres which isn’t based in England as it seems that nobody understands each other. I called Talktalk to try and get the phone number I think they nicked from us to BT and they just disconnected the landline. The other thing I loathe is calling up BT which I has been doing the past of couple of days. I been trying to get the broadband they think is working work in real life. After 2 weeks of getting looped around the different departments, I’ve ordered it again!

For some reason, somebody left a Metro on one of bus seats on bus one day. I was bored as the bus didn’t yet reached the bus stop where my mates catch the bus, so I started reading it. I glad I did as I discovered that Dr Fox was in it. So yeah, I will be passing that article over to him as he hasn’t yet seen it!

I don’t think that Myles will be that happy with me when I get back to school. The reason why is that I decided to volunteer to prefect a door in the Main Entrance and wondered off mid break after decided that it was boring.

I got fed up with my hair yesterday and managed to get a haircut for this morning. The amount of hair that went on the floor was amazing. I back to being spiky again which is a good, though its bad that I lost my £10 bet with a mate that I could have long hair.

2007 is nearly ending and what a eventful year its been for me.

It started off with some snow fun and having great time in TGI Fridays. Apart from them two things I didn’t really do much that was exciting at the start of the year and the blog had its first ever Hiatus.

The next eventful thing that happened to me was going to my first ever gig which happened to be Keane. At school I got my first ever DT which was at the PE block. I took a photo of me wearing a red nose (now password protected) with the Walkers ears.. I later regret doing this as I uploaded it here which then meant other people saved it on their computers. The cold weather were damaging the cars at my house and caused problems for me.

In March, I was the first person to use a Key on my bus (not official but true :P), everybody around the school had red hair but I didn’t as I had a brain to know the school wouldn’t like it and Virgin Trains didn’t cock the trip to Stoke at least.

In April, I nearly got sued for saying how crap a local band was. I decided that I didn’t get on well with the people I hanged around at the time (I didn’t like the bitching and the judging they did) and made a big choice. I buggered off and accepted the invite by Tom Loader and hanged around with his mates. My friendship with Tom Loader probably wouldn’t never of happened if Miss Buchanan didn’t force me to sit with him at form time.

‘I used to felt that I’m generally the one that now stand there in a group of ‘friends’ and has nothing to say that could relate to the conversation… I’d try and join in abit I felt a fool and small/silly for sayin’ something cuz I thought that it just didn’t fit in. Sometimes I used to just wanna sit in the corner and hide. I don’t feel like that any more with my new group of friends, yes I call them friends, and I’m talking and laughing all the time.’

In May, I was forced to talked about my dislike of some foods (I was a tiny bit mad) and ended up talking bananas. I was struggling with the coursework given to me, and wasn’t handling this in a really good way. I was basicly sorting my life out in this month. I changed drastically and felt more happy by the end of this month.

The same sorta thing was happening for afew months. There isn’t much worth mentioning till it gets to June. It was the month that my first ever own computer died. I started getting my arsed into gear in PE and started taking part in PE. In Science, I decided to ignore some good advice and exploded a glass tube which had a rather loud noise. I went to The Feeling gig also.

At July, some major events happened that effected everyone. I went to London when they found bombs and Abingdon flooded which meant I stayed in Stoke for awhile.

August nothing much happened apart my mum handbag got nicked and I went to a folk festival in
Cropredy. September is pretty much with the same as in not being eventful apart from Lulworth Cove.

In October, I was invited to the school on the first day of the half term holidays to do some English revision. I sided on some ice and injured myself, and saw the work happening on the school grounds.

In November, my age increased as I had a birthday and I discovered a thing called a razor. It didn’t shred my skin..

And now we have reached this month. December.. Well apart from seeing loads of movies at Cineworld and going into Oxfords lots.. I haven’t done much this month. I wonder what 2008 will turn out like?
